Several Jumpships attempt to enter the system via a Pirate Point
Pirate Insertion Roll

Please move this thread to the Clan Section.
Unit is detected, but does not move to the surface, from it's position in space, the dropships detach and broadcast.
A tech completed the scan and saw they missed their target insertion by a small percentage, odds of their arrival on planet before the zenith point defenders could intercept was slim. He looked across the bridge at Star Commander Mario and shook his head. The dropship commander had a comms tech open a channel to the bay. "Star Colonel, we missed the mark, what are your orders?"
Sean nodded his acceptance of the situation, "Plan B of course. We came here to take resources, avoiding any naval assets was just our way of making sure they could not refuse us Safcon. Time to see how the snakes respond to our presence. Give me a chanel, full broadcast." After a few seconds, he was notified that he was patched in.
"Warriors of Clan Star Adder, I Star Colonel Sean Winson, commander of the 3rd Sanguine Hussars request Safcon to the Planet Xagyg to issue a Trail for war materials for with wich to build upon the might of the Blood Spirit Clan, the true visionaries of Kerensky's vision!"
Bumping this one after the move to this thread.
Two points of interest Fate.
a. without a map you wouldn't know, however one of the MF on Xagyg is a Gu facility. FYI, it is run by the Horses.
b. an IC bit, more so for the Adders defenders:

After speaking with Xagyg Command, General Xanadu Raventhir of the Magistracy of Canopus ordered his senior commanders to gather for a priority briefing. From what he could glean, the Clan Blood Spirit forces had arrived at a pirate point and then forward a batchall. Which did not make sense, considering the increased risk of a pirate point translation. Then again, the hostilities between the two were well documented, and the Spirit commander could be playing it safe by not having to fight his way through the Adder naval defence.
No matter what though, Xanadu had declared to his Adder opposite number, his forces readiness to deploy has required.

(BINGO!)
(A request for safcon was issued, but I don't see any responses in here. Do we get the silent treatment?)

All in the hands (so to speak) of our snake friends.
Bump, need an Adder response.
Fate,
If you don't get any joy for the Adders, my girls and guys will step up. Magistracy has a reputation of zellbriggen with most Clans it has fought.
((OOC: The offer is appreciated, but this isn't just about the resources. It is important for me as the one running the Blood Spirits to see the reaction of the Star Adders on this challenge.))
Its funny, part of the Adders are the Burrocks, who hate the Spirits quite passionately. But, part of them are Mandrills, who were and are close friends of the Spirits. So it depends what perticular Adder it is a lot of the time, I think.
That said, safecon granted, trial excepted. The Adders probably only have their 1 FP on world, but if their allies want to join in, then our bid will be as many as they want to offer up +1
"Your acceptance of tradition in the face of certain doom is touching Adders, we challenge for the Total production from two of your factories to build upon the might of Clan Blood Spirit! Considering the people you have defending this world, we shall keep our bid small to avoid having to call on those that are not part of our Clans. Should you wish to have them participate in the circle of equals, we have no qualms."
CBS bids down to 1 FP and face off your milita with 1 Binary each of Regular Protomechs and Battle Armor.
CBS Challenges for 1 RP, the size of the trialing force.
Star Captan Josua stood before his point and inspected his men's Corona Battle armor before loading into the Sassnid. "We trail against Adders today! They have one old mech and some savashri vehicles, we will be dropping straight into the battlefield to keep ranges tight, I expect each of you to bag me no less then three of thier inferior freeborn machines, crewed by their freebirth militia! Ripper Star will be following behind us armed with small pulse for their infantry, we will achieve victory, I expect no less!"
1FP of the 3rd Sanguine Hussars take to the battlefield. 9 FP join the Canopians in the Circle. They see the Cluster Command mech is some mammoth mech called a Jupiter

Combat roll:
[blockquote]Rolled 2d6 : 1, 6, total 7[/blockquote]
Adder commander, a true birth warrior of the Sainze bloodline, offers hegira (I don't know how closely anyone follows our RP, but the Adders alow warriors to retire, mainly as a way to atract more Lyrans, but some truebirths take the offer up, and become reserve warriors. such warriors are among thouse facing you today, as well as retired Lyranborn warriors and the usual sort of weekend warriors, though all are trial tested members of the warrior caste, even if they may have just squeeked past relitively toned down trials).
Blood Spirits take their toys and leave.
CBS Loses .5 FP
CSA Loses .25, but gains .5 in Salvage.
Do note that a force offered proper Hegira is permited to recover their own salvage. So at least a portion of that goes to the Spirits.
RP:
Traditionaly, warriors would boldly proclaim their victories after they had been made, and for 80 year old reservest Jose of the Sainzes, traditional ruled his life. Desping being way, way past the age when most warriors had either given up or managed to get themselves killed, he muddled through because he thought he could still serve the Kindraa. Out of respect for his service, Heroyuki Sainze (himself only five years younger) took him into his personal star, and they retired together a few years back.
But, at a time when bold proclimations of victory were rare, this one attracted notice from high command, and a message came back down the pipe to Zagyg.
"Honorable Spirits," Jose called out to his defeated foes as they went about their salvage opperations, "I bring an offer from my Clan. True, some of us were your enemies in the past, but some of us were your friends, and we seek a chance to renue that friendship now. Perhaps there is a way we can aid you in building upon your might..."
As word of the Adder message floated around the dropship, many of the warriors screamed about going back down to the planet to kill the old man, there were lengthy converstations on how to do just that. Star Colonel Sean Winson had not participated in the trial, none of his commanders bid high enough for him to be included, yet despite this there were promises of challenge for his position when they returned to base for even wasting time trialing against their rivals the Adders.
Sean was a rare breed of Blood Spirit though, a traditionalist without malice or prejudice for the Clans that had done them wrong. A true warrior that survived the inquisition of the Blood Knights, and earned his right to participate in the trials and raids for resources going on across the Inner Sphere by the Hussars. He looked over to Star Commander Mario who was tracking the time until they departed the system was holding the comms unit in his hand away from him. "Do not do it Colonel, do not respond, let us just float away, it is bad enough we lost." He looked around nervously. "for certain the crew will mutiny" Sean looked around, the crew was looking at him expectantly with glares. "It has to start somewhere Mario... do you have the energy to maintain this hate forever?" Mario held tight to the unit for a few more moments in the dim light of space trave, then begrudgingly Mario let go of the handle and let Sean take it. He didn't wait to have the tech set up the system for him. He may have been a warrior but that didn't mean he didn't know how to work a transmitter.
"There is but one image my Clan sees of Clan Star Adder, the day Clan Star Adder joined those honorless Burrock surats in turning on the Blood Spirit Forces was burned into our memories. It was not Blood Spirit that started this fued. It was not Clan Blood Spirit that continued this fued. We thought the day when Clan Star Adder realized they had allied themselves with bandit scum would be the day they purged themselves of that blight. That day has not yet come to pass.
Today, I Star Colonel Sean Winson vow to pass on your message to our Warrior Council for you are an honorable man whose forces also faught with honor. I make no promises on behalf of my Clan other than this." Sean put down the handset and looked the crew in the eyes as if to challenge them to action, when none of them spoke upor moved he nodded his head to Mario and said, "Now, let us depart."
