Technocratic Meritocracy of Caruflaith Restored

Region C11
Marshal Orrin (Disciple of the Hero)

Actions:

1. [Diplomacy]Inquest C9 (2d6+3) 8
   Though there was no scarcity of corruption in the Meritocracy, no doubt due to its numerous prohibitions on things that were previously considered normal, it was all behind-the-scenes play. The public failure of a state-assigned mission due to a merchant consorting with pirates was previously unheard of. A ship newly equipped with GLD is sent to follow the pirates' signatures, but it disappears without a trace...
2. [Diplomacy]Inquest D12 (2d6+3) 12
   The law is clear: the universe is the common heritage of humanity. Well, the law may need to be updated to account for the many species of aliens, but for now, it is used as a political justification for pouring staggering amounts of money into GLD drives and subsequent expeditions into nearby solar sytems.
3. [Philosophy]Probe C13 (2d6+4) 11
   This expedition was sabotaged by counterrevolutionaries. As it should be, the Marshal himself personally discovered their nest and delivered justice to them in the form of forced duels to the death.
4. [Philosophy]Probe D10 (2d6+4) 7
   Attempts to approach the Core fail, for now. Not that the Meritocracy wants to ignore the Sisterhood's warnings; it just wants to be closer to other Stellar Powers.
5. [Military]Recruit
   Immediately after receiving GLD drives, the Meritocracy has a war fleet equipped with them. Tremble, enemies of the Revolution!
