ELEU Calls For Help To Free SANTJALAN

Hello CMDRS,

Is with deep concern and a heavy heart that I bring you news about my home system of Eleu and a civil war that has just exploded yesterday with the neighboring system of Santjalan.

Background: Conflict Development

Santjalan Commodities (SCo), a high tech corporation that has been ruling the system for the last 40 years, it’s been for the most part an ally in the relationship between the systems. Locally known as "The Twins" -due to their scarce 2.86 light year proximity- Santjalan and Eleu had always maintained close ties, benefiting from each other in their common goal of maintaining their independence from the 3 major factions, while sustaining their economies and stability. However, the yesteryear economic and political partner has lately turned into a greedy and vicious organization, exploiting its employees, abusing labor laws and even breaking contracts and business with many vendors and customers in a bid to maximize profits. The change of direction seems to be related to the passing of SCo President, Julius Albicarius, last December, and who’s been succeeded by Narin Zdejany, former CFO for the corporation.

The new management has sparked widespread discontent among Santjalan employees and workers, many of which have quit or fled to Eleu seeking the principles of Democracy, Equality and Freedom the Social Eleu Progressive Party (SEPP) has always maintain. Acknowledging the dignity and political process of our brothers in Santjalan, SEPP kept itself on the fence for few weeks, hoping some kind of stability would be brought by Mr.Zdejany. It was during that period that some minor faction -the Eleu for Equality Party (EEP)- acting on the fringe of laws, started a campaign to destabilize SEPP lawful and rightful government of Eleu.

The EEP has been a high profile suspect in a bombing attack that left 6 people injured in Eleu’s Bao Orbital last month and not known terrorist organization has claimed yet. To our dismay, some intelligence sources confirmed that EPP campaign has been largely funded by Mr.Zdejany and SCo. The SEPP response has been firm: we have expanded our operations in Santjalan, bringing our message of hope and freedom to our brothers and extending a hand to the desperate people working almost under condition of slavery in Santjalan.

The tension could not last forever and finally yesterday, in a stoic cry for change, workers at Martinez City in Santjalan started a protest shutting down the outpost landing pads for almost an hour, which initiated a harsh response by SCo Security and the workers. In the melee, a 10 year old girl, was killed by the SCo Forces, and that ignited the crowd of thousands and thousands of workers that then took over the scientific outpost. They then turned to the spaceships some to flee to Eleu, others to go for Cantor Terminal, SCo Headquarters, to keep on with the coup.

As of now, and in lights of these developments, the SEPP is no longer looking from afar how SCo massacres our Santjalan brothers and sisters and we are assisting them in the taking over of the system. However, being a mainly agricultural and poor system, Eleu’s forces are none to match any of that from a corporate faction, for which our soldiers and workers are fighting shoulder to shoulder with the equipment available.

Current Status: Civil War

The Social Eleu Progressive Party is calling for all commanders to come and assist us in the tedious and difficult task of defeating Santjalan Commodities and Mr.Zdejany devious and cruel ruling, once and for all.

Pilots report to either of the two combat zones in Santjalan, join the Social Eleu Progressive Party, and fight against the SCo forces. You can cash your bonds, or make any repairs in Cantor Terminal –where our faction holds a portion of the station- or you can run missions for us from Martinez City, which is an outpost on the verge of freedom from the grasp of the SCo.

Eleu’s Finney Dock –SEPP Headquarters- can be your rendez-vous point and your stay over camps. You can also cash bonds here. Or for those doing trading, we have our famous Thermal’s that are very well paid 100ly or farther away.

Thank you commanders, Santjalan needs you now!!

PS1. These two factions are independent. No major faction involved -Mr.Zdejany is married to the First Son of a Baron of the Empire, and that's about it.

PS2. This is not a CG.
 
Would have joined the fray but I am 800Ly away from LHS3447 on route to horse nebula.

Anyone joining have fun and be careful who you support :p.

CMDR Krane out.

Thank you CMDR....pass by on your way back..hopefully by then Santjalan will be free and Martinez City can happily pay for the data and process your scientific findings of your exploration for the SEPP.
 
That's really interesting! How long has the war been going so far? How much of your story is user-created? How many players or player groups are involved?

I moved to Eleu early in January. Things started to get interesting towards the end of January when I noticed that me running missions for the SEPP to Santjalan had spurted a SEPP presence there! That was pleasant! Then things started to get really weird: the SEPP had a 95% influence in Eleu at the time and over the course of two weeks went to under 50%. I was on an exploration 12,500 ly away so couldn't do much but see from afar that "something" was up.

I returned early March, after 3 weeks absence, determined to straighten things up. SEPP's influence was back to 54%...I pushed it past the 70%. Once that was put tp bed, I concentrated on raising SEPP's influence in Santjalan. It was 25% at the moment.

Then I had to go and fight for Lugh, because if anything, the outcome of Lugh will tell me a lot of what to expect in my little experiment with these two systems and factions.

Came back last week from War and started grinding the influences again, this time focused on Martinez City -the minor of the stations in Santjalan- and before I knew it, SEPP and SCo were head to head in influence, at 34%. "Pending States: CIVIL WAR".

All these kept me so excited!!! See, I'm a explorer, and I love the scientific outposts...I just couldn't bring myself to sell data to the SCo, and sold it to Eleu's, which is my home but, truth be told, it doesn't as much with the data as a scientific hi-tech outpost could!!! ;-)

Anyways....yesterday, when I logged, there it was: STATE: CIVIL WAR. Checked for combat zones, and there they were: Low Intensity Combat Zones, in Santjalan!!! This is it! Weeks waiting for this...we made it!!! -Now I need advertisement!! Cause is only me at this point!!! LOL....I am not part of a group or something...some occasional cmdr here and there but we are in a low traffic corner...

As per the story, it's all my invention...lol...I know a little silly, I mean I have never played roleplay or anything like it...I just let my imagination go with what I imagine these systems as....and my relationship to them....I just hope I didn't break any rules or somebody had another story going and I messed that up!!! LOL...

One of the wonders of ED is that I thought I would be a forever roamer or wanderer of the galaxy...it showed me that my need for rooting might be stronger than I thought....also I figured all corners of galaxy are similar, but if I make one my own, it will give me a sense of ownership way more engaging that the current options....

I'm impressed that you managed to do all that alone!

Since we're talking about two unknown minor factions in two relatively minor independent systems, I honestly doubt that your little roleplay experiment is going to mess with the lore of the game.

We'll see if it's possible to feature you in a Galnet News video, they always look for interesting player-related events.
