 For the distant future of the emulator, any idea of what should happen after the V'rix?

Just had a new content/story idea that I thought I'd put out here for creative brains to tinker with:

 

The Lost Legion / Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

 

The matter of the V'rix has been resolved. (Peace, Truce or obliteration?)

 

The Jenquai resume exploring and mapping known and unknown space to survey the impact of the V'rix. Some old Gate War space comes under review. It should have been quiet, routine, uneventful.

A sleeper station of Dog Soldiers, in suspension and tended by drones, awakens on being discovered. Their leader (heretofore an unimportant and otherwise low-ranking soldier) targets the scouts and interrogates the survivors to find some unhappy news. A time of peace between Progen and Jenquai? Unacceptable.

 

He awakens the full of his legion and starts calling forward loyal soldiers anew. The "settled" bases are within his sights. Jove's Fury? There will be two ruins around Jupiter. Arx Spartoi? A weak strain led by a reject Gene-map. Somerled Station? Still the same war profiteers and traitors just after an easy credit. Net-7? Propagandists for mewling peacemongers. All should remember who the Progen were - and are to be again.

 

Their own secret station is well defended and how many batterings it can take will determine their strength. (Read: A la pirate gate raid.)

 

If left unchecked, they will strike out against places of peace: Jupiter, Saturn, Earth, Mars, etc. Warriors will need to beat them back or force them to retreat to home. (Triggered event of defending a station or triggering assault on home base to force them to retreat.)

 

But the strength of the existing groups should be under strain:

Will the Shinwa strike out in earnest, the warrior shadow become a battle standard? Will the Progen seek to maintain the hard won truce, or will sympathetic elements support the Lost Legion? Will deWinter turn to war profiteering and support a lucrative arms race?

 

And how do the pirates (and if any, the V'rix) fit into this?

Whatever the events, it would be a time defined by explorers, warriors and traders.

"Man is at his most bright where space is the most dark."

 

Name: Yan "Vantrin" Ti-Rin-Xu

Class: Sha'ha'dem 

Current Rank: Initiate

Gender: Male

Homeship: Research Vessel Auriga Maru, Outer orbit of Capella

Education: Educated via standard video instruction and focused deep research tutoring. Formally recognised by Heirate Collegia as Mastery in: Astrocartography, Geological Sciences and Galaxy-band Wave Communications. Recognised Degree in Archaeological Art - Earth.

Assigned duty: Officially, research scout for Capella. Presently on Heirate instruction as broad investigator with no jurisdiction for an indefinite period.

 

Details:

 

Medical. Given the current and ongoing deep-space research of the Auriga Maru and generational cultivation of said research, subject is well suited to Sha'ha'dem duty. The sheltered existence and propensity for the Auriga to cloak quickly and often has impacted fight-or-flight response. Not suited to combat roles or situations. Cloaking training suggested as primary defense, but observe for changes; exposure to personal dangers may encourage the fight response.

 

Personality. Subject is notably patient and introspective. Takes a long and measured view when assessing, moreso than even your usual Jenquai. Subject does not react quickly to new situations - but adapts effective strategies once familiar. Introspection may cause subject to be swayed by non-Jenquai influences. Continue monitoring progress and ensure sympathy for fallen Jenquai is brought to mind.

 

Social. Subject is inquisitive and eager to know more and be at the furthest edges. Also understands the importance of sharing information gleaned. May work best in joint ventures where sensitive information is likely to be shared anyway. Subject does not suffer fools, but is not afraid to unbutton his collar and share in jokes or frivolities. Empathy may be too strong - test responses indicated subject would sooner hide than harm a sentient hostile entity.

 

Skillset. Subject showed no enthusiasm for equipment construction beyond the day-to-day repair and maintenance of solo-pilot starships. Excels when discovering far-off locations and prospecting. Clearly intends to develop cloaking understanding. High empathy in subject would suggest they will develop the jumpstarting of damaged craft and ferrying via wormholes.

 

Career. Subject is typical of Jenquai, but loyalty may be difficult to tether in a way the Heirate may approve of. Early interaction and bonding on the Auriga Maru with a Terran who worked on a short term experiment caused the subject to favor this interaction's bastardisation of his name, to the point he prefers the nicknam now. Despite this aberration, the subject is notably of the mindset of an explorer. The concept of being the first or one of few in a dark place is when subject is in their element. Monitor for signs of disgruntlement at what subject perceives the Heirate or ones they trust would keep secret from people in general.

 

Affiliation. Subject is likely to excel with the Sha'ha'dem. They see the form and spirit of the universe when gathering or refining resources and minerals, and the body and action of it when surrounded by rock and star.

 

Loyalty. Subject shows no worrying signs of deviation from Jenquai support. They have no love for lawlessness or bloodshed, and the pursuit of knowledge and development of humanity by searching is deeply in the subject's psyche.

Secret Details: In the event Heirate and other leaders of the Jenquai stagnate or forget what drove Ben Joseph to form what the Jenquai are today, they have ensured there remain some who devote themselves to the study and watching of things. The subject is not worryingly disloyal nor to be distrusted - his presence will help to ensure the Jenquai remain a race that looks to the stars and sees not their own magnificence and accomplishments, but what there is yet to do. While the atrocitites of the Gate War were truly atrocities, does that mean the militarisation of the Jenquai? What would Ben Joseph say?
