fleet

Sci-­fi cam­paign in which ac­tion takes place on a rag-­tag fleet of ships with­out home which roams around.

===== Rules ===== ==== Pro­fes­sions ====

• scav­­enger: spread out from fleet to get ma­te­ri­al­s.

• mil­i­ti­a: larg­er coun­­cil ships have marines. Many are past mil­i­­tary.

• tech:

• pi­lot:

===== Antagonists =====

• What/who ev­er re­spon­si­ble for de­stroy­ing fleets home world(s)

• Slavers (out­side)

• Lack of sup­­plies / food

• Pi­rates / ex-pi­rates in fleet

• Coun­­cil Guards or just Guard­s. Fleet wide po­lice, en­­force coun­­cils will.

• Mil­i­­tary

===== Fac­tions ===== ==== The Coun­cil ==== Civil­ian gov­ern­ment - 1 rep­re­sen­ta­tive from each ship(­sev­er­al from plan­e­toid)

=== Ships of the Coun­cil === De­spite that tech­ni­cal­ly there are on­ly 2 parts to the fleet, civil­ian and mil­i­tary the Mer­chant League and Pi­rate fac­tions ac­tu­al­ly con­troll sev­er­al of these ship­s.

++ ‘Con­sta­ble’ - Sys­tems mon­i­tor, size of light cruis­er. Not de­signed for deep space or ex­tend­ed trav­el. Ex-­plan­e­tary de­fense(a­ka mili­ti­a) ship.

++ ‘En­forcer’ - Cus­toms cut­ter, ex-po­lice. Very smal­l, min­i­mal weapon­s.

++ ‘Jus­ti­car’ - Cus­toms cut­ter, ex-po­lice. Very smal­l, min­i­mal weapon­s.

++ ‘De­fend­er’ - Cus­toms cut­ter, ex-po­lice. Very smal­l, min­i­mal weapon­s.

++ ‘S­tarseed’ - aux-­car­ri­er/­ten­der (ex)pi­rate ship largest ship of pi­rate fac­tion.

++ ‘Pro­tec­tor’ - aux-­car­ri­er con­vert­ed from bulk car­go ship.

++ ‘Plan­e­toid’ - Con­vert­ed as­ter­oid with en­gi­nes, etc. Largest ship of fleet. Has docks for the mil­i­tary(in­clud­ing hang­ers for a bunch of fight­er­s) but rest of plan­e­toid is coun­cil­s. 1/3 to 1/2 of to­tal pop­u­la­tion lives here. Sev­er­al hulks are per­ma­nent­ly docked/crashed.

++ ‘Lucky Star’ - Casi­no / plea­sure ship.

++ ‘Void Rid­er’ - Pri­vate.

++ ‘Jail’ - prison ship, con­vert­ed con­tain­er trans­porter.

++ ‘La­dy­hawk’ - small­er pri­vate, old, il­l-­main­tained yacht crammed packed with peo­ple.

++ ‘Sanoran’ - Lux­u­ry lin­er, now up­per class hous­ing.

++ barges - Var­i­ous towed box­es and plat­form­s. Lots of fac­to­ries, lots of poor/s­lum res­i­dences.

++ A dozen free traders of var­i­ous sizes.

++ More - tugs, con­tain­er ship­s, bulk ore trans­ports

==== Mil­i­tary ==== Rem­nants of Task Force Julie, plus oth­er as­sort­ed sur­vivors. In­de­pen­dent but nom­i­nal­ly un­der “con­trol” of The Coun­cil.

=== Ships of the Mil­i­tary ===

++ ‘Potemk­in’ - Star­naugh­t, the flag­ship of the mil­i­tary. 2nd largest ship. Docks sev­er­al small­er craft of shut­tle to cut­ter size and many fight­er­s.

++ ‘Ham­mer’ - PC­C(­Plas­ma Can­non Cruis­er), a heavy fire sup­port ship. De­signed to op­er­ate in a large fleet with sev­er­al ded­i­cat­ed es­cort­s. In the cur­rent sit­u­a­tion bring­ing its dev­as­tat­ing fire­pow­er to bear is quite a tac­ti­cal chal­lenge.

++ ‘S­aber’ - Bad­ly dam­aged mis­sile cruis­er. Few of its launch­ers are op­er­a­tional still it is 4th most pow­er­ful ship in the fleet. And it is large and pro­vides liv­ing and stor­age space.

++ ‘Wilde’ - Es­cort car­ri­er, over­load­ed with fight­ers and oth­er at­tack craft.

++ ‘Jaguar’ - Es­cort frigate.

++ ‘Valkrie’ - Med­i­cal ship. The best fa­cil­i­ties in the fleet.

++ ‘Jim­mez’ - Bulk liq­uid trans­port ship. Car­ries about 1/2 of en­tire fleets wa­ter re­serves.

++ ‘Zachari­a’ - Bulk liq­uid trans­port ship. Emp­ty, con­tains se­cret mil­i­tary stuff.

++ ‘Park­s’ - Am­mo re­sup­ply ship. Sup­ply ship for a “wing” of mis­sile cruis­er­s. Most­ly emp­ty, lots of mil­i­tary bar­racks now.

++ Over abun­dance of fight­ers and oth­er at­tack craft, many on Plan­e­toid.

==== Mer­chant League ==== Group with­in Coun­cil most­ly rich type folk­s.

==== Ex-pi­rates ====

Not trust­ed gen­er­al­ly. This group is more in the imag­i­na­tion than re­al­i­ty. There are ex-pi­rates and cur­rent­ly un­scrupu­lous peo­ple in the fleet. But, they aren’t so uni­fied.

==== Poor / Work­ers ====

Gen­er­al­ly ig­nored and used/abused. But the oc­ca­sion­al­ly or­ga­nize a protest or strike.
