Recruiting for New Campaign

Postby Cobalt » Sat Oct 27, 2007 2:01 pm

The Proposal:

The following campaign will be set in a civilian setting, revolving around a multi-divisional corporation called Vector Ovid, a firm that is involved in legitimate R&D work, defense contracting, and pharmaceuticals. However, Vector Ovid has recently come under the investigation of the UN Marshal Service and the Interstellar Police due to their primary income generator, Freelance Security Forces (I.E. "High-tech Mercenaries")

The Security Force, operating under the plaque "Vector Security Service", operates using the VC-12R Variable Automobile. Operating as an urban ground warfare and counter-terrorism force for corporations concerned about espionage or sabotage, they do not conflict with the UN Military Charter as they do not protect worlds or local governments, though they have, in the past, been hired to help deal with civilian riot control actions by overwhelmed governors.

The sudden interest of the powerbrokers behind the social organization known as the Blades Club in the Vector Security Service has intensified the investigations into both the Blades Club and Vector Ovid.

Ideally, there will be enough interest to support a three-group conflict between the UN Marshal Service and their C.O.M.B.A.T. (Criminal Operations Mobile Battle Actions Teams) service, which is a special operations division of the Marshal service, the Blades Club, and Vector Ovid.

Organizations:

C.O.M.B.A.T.s
Criminal Operations Mobile Battle Actions Teams - A Special Ops Division of the U.N. Marshals

Mission Statement:
To ensure safety and justice among the spacelanes of United Nations chartered territories. To expose and ferret out threats to the citizenry of the United Nations collective planets whether they are from external sources or corruption within the government. To Hunt down rogue U.N. military personnel, anti U.N. threats and wanted criminals all of whom are the highest threat to the public. To search for and rescue missing persons. To aid local police forces in crisis situations. To protect and serve the public. To uphold the law.

Table of Organization and Equipment:

S.T.A.R.S. Teams: Serving the same role that SWAT serves within the police departments, the Special Tactics and Rescue Service are an elite group within the C.O.M.B.A.T. organization. Founded to combat cult-affiliated terrorism, their role within the Marshal Service was expanded in 2038, after founder Marco Palmieri led a S.T.A.R.S. team on a hostage rescue raid against a cult stronghold on Eden , a raid which was highly televised after the fact. They do not handle investigations and are called in when mecha are inappropriate responses to hostage situations.

The AVF-1X-LE (Law Enforcement): A Highly modified version of the VF-1X which incorporates much of the technology from project supernova including the Virtual Environment cockpit. Active Stealth and internal Missile bays. This VF also has Non Lethal options such as EMP cannons which replace the head lasers. While on the outside it looks like the classic VF it is actually a highly advanced Variable Fighter capable of going toe to toe with whatever the enemy has to offer. The reasoning for this design is so that no one would expect this Powerful VF until it was too late and are either apprehended or dead.

*Note: All Models are based off of the S model

The Archangel: An Uraga Class Escort Battle Carrier Variant, the Marshals use the Archangel as a mobile command center and base of operations. The carrier is also home base of AVF-1X-LE team "Ravens" during their operations.

4 Northhampton Class Stealth Frigates: The Marshals use this ship for quick deployment to crisis areas as well as for patrolling the Space lanes. Unlike the military model, the UN Marshal Northamptons are mobile crime labs and quick response S.T.A.R.S. (Specialt Tactics and Rescue Service) bases. Each Frigate bears the name of a historical US Marshal. They are The John Skinner, The Edward Carrington, The Robert Forsythe, and The Henry Dearborne. They are also known by the more generalized name "TACCOM" (TACtical COMmand)

Notable Personnel:
Logan Harper - Director General of the UN Marshal Service
Dusty Lynn Ayres - Operations Director of the UN Marshal Service
David Alexander Richardson - Director of the C.O.M.B.A.T program
Janelle Anne Cross - Chief of the S.T.A.R. Teams

Blades

An Elite Social Club, Blades is a modern day Illuminati and the members enjoy lives of power, privilege, and they do so consequence free. There are two clubs in the galaxy, the original club on Earth and the one on Eden.

No one knows what goes on inside the clubs and only rumors abound about the organization. Only a few known facts are held as indisputable. Both clubs operate on a hierarchy based on chess. The original club on Earth uses black and white, the traditional colors. The Eden Club substituted red for white to differentiate themselves from their parent club.

Tales of hedonism and carnality fill the gossip columns but no one who has ever been allowed into Blades has ever revealed the true goings on behind the closed doors.


Notable Persons on Earth:
Warren Thorndike III - The White King
Jasthine Hylander - The White Queen
Remy Boudrouex - The Black King
Raven Rezvani - The Black Queen

Notable Persons on Eden:
Landon Hawke - The Red King
Wilhelmina Frost - The Red Queen
Sebastian Prince - The Black King
Selene Loire - The Black Queen


Vector Ovid

The corporation publicly known as "Vector Ovid" is a parent entity for several smaller divisions that all operate under the guiding hand of an enigmatic woman named Mirahe Mandala. In addition to running the three firms that made up Vector Ovid; Mandala Research and Development, Ovid Contracting and Aviation, and Vector Security Services, she was the suspected bankroll behind a series of X-Clubs and highly illegal street races, though no concrete evidence linking her to those activities has ever surfaced.

Notable Persons:
Mirahe Mandala - CEO & Owner of Vector Ovid
Jorge Martinez - Vector Security Service Manager
Aya Ishikawata - Vector Security Service Officer
Alexander "Xan" Verinai - Vector Security Service Officer

This has sparked my interest and I have an idea providing if any of the CEO's or any of the Blades have families I'd like to play the spoiled little rich kid so to speak.

PhantomJ: There are many investing members that put money into Vector Ovid, and so there are a lot of powerful people that want to know how there investment is doing. You could play the kid of some wealthy investor sending his son / daughter to check on how the company is spending their money?

Lamenting - Blades Operators are members of the Blades Club's Private security and you would be responsile for the safety of the Inner Circle, under the command of the Knights. You would be part security officer, part knee-breaking goon, and deeply involved in the illicit activities of the club.

Phantom - As BEAR said, you could easily be a rich kid from an investor and we can set it up so Alexander's Team has to babysit you.

Sparky - I will send you the details of the Marshal investigation.

Gerhard - I have responded to your PM.

Welcome all of you. I am adjusting the Recruitment Post to show that you are now all members of the game.

I am tempted to create a characters for the blades.

I was thinking of an ex mafia Capo or muscle whose "family" was disbaded in a recent police crack down. Searching for more work, he was approached by the blades with an offer he could hardly refuse.
