Hi playgrounders! I've gotten a lot more free time in my schedule and thought I'd give running a game of Lancer another go. The general pitch is going to be that your a Mirror Smoke Mercenary Company of Lancers contracted out by Union Intelligence to pursue one of their own to the Long Rim. To the planet Trast. Originally discovered and settled by late Sec-Comm imperialist elements, the planets subsequent compliance with ThirdCom and bringing it into the fold by IPSN's subdivison Trunk Security has also ensured that at least two of the Big Four have a vested interest in the planet's development, to say nothing of others with Union sympathies, or those all there own, cultivated in the last frenzied wave of cosmopolitans to come and stay planetside. To keep things simple we're going to be starting at licence level (LL) 0. I've included some stuff below about a general history of Trast (the planet we're playing on). If this is your first time playing Lancer please use comp/con (https://compcon.app/) to create your mech & character. There is a lot of lore to Lancer other than what I've included below, but this youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@11dragonkid11) is very effective at summarizing both mechanics and the game's world. I am looking for 3 players minimum, 5 maximum (ideally one player per role), and maybe one or two spares. Feel free to use any supplemental material apart from material from third party sources.
Simon Trast, the planet's namesake and ostensibly the man who discovered it, was part of the hard right leaning elements that made up Union's Second Committee, but fled at the height of the rebellion. Armed with nascent mech data & frames from proving grounds like Hercynia, mech technology more or less advanced at parity with the rest of the galaxy despite the imperialists relative isolation. Following the re-establishment with fringe elements at the creation of the Armoury proper (following Third Committee's Utopian Pillars assuming control of Union's mandate), the call to come in from the cold was refused with out and out threats of hostilities from Trast. Negotiations broke down, in no small part due to the time in between hastened diplomatic communications. And Trunk Security was contracted to bring peace.
IPSN's security wing was fast in conducting a brutal war that saw the imperialist dynasties of Trast fractured along three broad dogmas of soldiering, science and engineering. But Trast had prepared and what started as a highly efficient strike to cripple key imperialist infrastructure soon devolved into a bloody grind of a campaign, enduring even in the face of the original Trast's capture and execution by Trunk Security. What followed was a tentative peace that saw Union establish a nominal authority localized to the megapolis of Armistice on the sole continents southern end, and the right for those still loyal to Trast-and those who had found Union much more palatable in the wake of the war-to self govern within the scope of Union's oversight. The passage of time and Trast's seclusion from galactic politics at large has gone a long way towards stymieing this oversight. The dogma-centered dynasties persist to this day, and while they pay lip service to Union, it is an oft spoken fact that the Three are the true authority on Trast when one steps outside of Armistice.
Geographically speaking, Trast is a Pangea planet that can be ascribed two (formerly four) areas of governance: Union and Non-Union. Center-trast is a vast, verdant plain that gives way to steppe the further one goes north, east or west. The west and east are both belted with large mountain ranges, ones that end a little ways into the former and continue onwards until the ocean in the case of the latter. The Sky Tyrants of the West have begun to weaponize the weather itself to not only hoard what scant foods are available in their domain for themselves but to do so to deprive others in the surrounding ranges the same nutrience. Administrator Singrin Castella, has not heard back from the team she sent east to rectify this gross redistribution of resources. The Anatomist Clades of the east have sunk vast civic archologies to the east oceans floor, from which they are said to have harvested everything and everyone one they could have from the surrounding estuaries and swamplands. Only the brave-those few who stayed behind from Trunk Security-guard Armistice against this threat from the eastern mountains. And from the frigid north where Trast's Heirs sit and wait, it is rumoured the warlords are offered council by a turncoat from Union Intelligence. And, it is also rumoured, that their vanguard is weeks away from its march on Armistice itself. Speaking of, Union governs from the south, a humid, tropical landscape where most of the planet's breadbasket can be found. Administrator Castella is, by all MSMC sourced accounts, making the best of what is a very difficult situation.
We just started, and Noble our valiant DM had some awesome success in RL, which didn't allow them time to run the game, so I have decided to step up and see if I can run it.
Looking for ~3 new players, lets keep it all core right now as im learning. (unless RdMarquis and Kubuler (both players in the game and will be helping me) suggest otherwise)
