Talk:Addara (world)
Notes (2018)[edit]
Addara (Mendan 0639) is a Client state of the Third Imperium and one of the single most Important {Ix} worlds on the cusp with two other Charted Space groups, the Julian Protectorate and the wild and unstable Vargr Extents.
Your fellow Travellers were just passing through this mecca of industry and trade when the Starport Administration comes to your Captain with a delicate enigma. Will you ignore his perspiring, pungent fears and be on your way or listen to his offer? He needs a neutral and impartial set of eyes on site.
Someone has tried and failed to detonate twenty gravity disc bombs that would otherwise have leveled the local IISS Scout Base, an act which points fingers and claws at every faction surrounding Addara. Was it the Julians? Could a Vargr polity or Corsairs be so focused on a single site when a local Naval Base is a more Charismatic target? Is there politics at play within the Third Imperium in Antares Sector? Or is the Patron Administrator missing some clue or detail in discovering the planted demolitions discs? Why target the IISS Scout Base? As Addara is a vital crossroads that barely manages to keep the peace between Humaniti and at least three sub-species of Vargr, can the Travellers discover the culprits before the attempt reaches local media or worse, before the terrorists try again? Is a war imminent? Was that person reaching for his weapon?
- 1. It was Vargr Corsairs wanting a minor, but still Charismatic target to demolish.
- 2. It was the Julians who want to destabilize Addara so the world will accept them as a potential Patron polity.
- 3. It was Antares powers that be in the Third Imperium who are impatient to annex Addara.
- 4. The culprit was a Vargr empire, salivating over a TL-10 but Important {Ix} stepping stone to either the Julians or the Imperium.
- 5. The entire debacle was a mistake of clerical longitude and lattitude for a nearby structure to be taken down and repurposed.
- 6. The IISS Base was soon to take some of the SPA's workload off the hands of the locals, which has angered local unions enough to take actions and frame the above factions. If the IISS intrudes upon the local Starport, their pay rates and benefits are threatened. Go home, Impys!
9,000 Resource Units in the hands of Addara are at risk as is its Importance {Ix} rating if the Scout Base is destroyed.
