imperial summons....where?

Shads · Dec 25, 2014

i just got an imperial summons mission as part of the empire rank progression but never took notice of where it was because I assumed it would be in my transactions log but its not there. Anyone know where i am supposed to go?

You'll find the mission gave you a permit, you don't actually have to go there though.

It was Achenar. I went to the station around Capitol last night and nothing special happened. Nice station though.

And when you go there nothing happens anyway.

Uhhhhh...

I've progressed to 'Earl' rank, I'm allied with over 15 Empire affiliated systems (Even with Allied with 'Empire Party', which is the main party in control of Achenar...)

And I'm only 'Friendly' with the Empire, and also, my summons was to 'FACECE', not Achenar.

I've not seen any other 'special missions'.. and even though I've been all over 'FACECE' (which has an interesting backstory about being a 'Training Ground' for the Empire, even though the Planet is 'Independent' as opposed to Empire-aligned...

Are there more Ranks than 'Earl'?

How do I get the 'Achenar' invite?

It just randomly turned up in the bulletin board, I was just grinding trades. Maybe you got a different system because you are in a different area?

I'm building rep in all systems about 20ly from Achenar...

I've always noticed FACECE was permit-only, but knowing nothing about the lore other than what I'm finding out in-game... I just knew that Achenar was the center of the Empire, and that I wanted to become 'Allied' with all the surrounding systems and factions (especially the ones shown in Achenar)

So right now, I have no idea how to get an 'Achenar' permit, nor what the benefit of getting that permit (Or ranking up in Empire) will do!

:/

Is Achenar oblate or a sphere?

I assume it's a sphere, but that's a shame. IRL the star spins so fast that it's egg shaped. That would look pretty odd.

I am not going to try to make sense of these, but after I got Achenar permit mission I did a few more missions and then got an imperial summons to Summerland mission.

Actually Empire Party controls FACECE. Achenar controlled by Emprire League there is one station that is controlled by Empire Party though. My first permit was to Summerland there is nothing special. If you want to see a beautiful place go to Cemis near FACECE

Empire Party needs your help there too(do missions for Empire Party only).

It did look like a sphere but I'll need to check again.

Thanks for the tip... Will do.

I just got my Achenar summons at Master rank, it just randomly turned up on the bulletin board at McKenzie Relay in Cemiess. Not sure what triggered it.
