Operation: Asteroid Ambush (Event)
Operation: Asteroid Ambush
Operation: Asteroid Ambush is a joint operation roleplaying event between the exotic tribals of the Winged Cobra Tribe (Wicotees), the covert agents of the Galactic Intelligence Agency (GIA), and the villains of the Relentless. The Wicotees and the GIA has a secret meeting in an asteroid belt. They want to exchange something very important, but the Relentless know about this meeting, and they ambush the participants, trying to grab all the loot.
Everybody is welcome to join us in this event, choose whichever side you prefer!
Background story
I'm Cmdr Fremen, member of the Relentless. I was in the Morgor Astronavigator's Inn at Romanek's Folly drinking Teveriian Evil Juice (after being chased by the ship Bad Karma... don't even ask), when I've overheard a conversation by "those tribal types over there in the corner, [who are] mostly harmless".
It was about a secret treaty between the Wicotees and an undercover GIA agent sitting in the darkest corner (I couldn't see his face, to tell you the truth). So the treaty was about an exchange of a sacred artifact that the nomads wants to use against a rival tribe, and in return the Tribals will pay the GIA with cannisters containing a special virus that they want to use for their shady businesses.
We need to get all of those cannisters to blackmail them, and later to sell them at the Black Market!
Update! We have decoded a leaked transmission:
The plan
Our vicious plan is the following: we jump in the asteroid belt before they arrive from SuperCruise. We hide behind the asteroids nearby the entry point and wait for them in stealth mode until they arrive. When they have arrived, we abush them and grab the precious cargo or shoot the carriers until they drop the cannisters!
Here's the Relentless plan in details:
The event is going to take place at Asellus Primus. We are going to get together at Beagle 2, and fly in groups to the nearest asteroid field. The groups will wait for each other in SuperCruise mode, and enter the asteroid field together. The Reletless group arrives first so they can hide, and the GIA + Tribe groups arrive next. Here's a video by Cmdr Musashi of the scene:

All of the Relentless / GIA / Tribe members should communicate on their dedicated Mumble channel ideally (on our server, see details below). I'll be in touch with Cmdr Blatant (head of the GIA) and with Cmdr Old Boar (chief of the Wicotees) on the built-in chat to coordiate the process together.
It's a victory for us if we manage to pick up the cannisters and get away with them. It's a victory for them if they manage to finish the exchange and get away in one piece. We have to finish shooting plus they have to jettison the cargo if they are under 30% hull. After dropping though, they will have to flee. Just like us, if they get the lead somehow.

Here's the Relentless plan in details:
- Meet at the asteroid field, stay near the entry point (the yellow marker).
- Hide with systems shut down behind asteroids (pick a steady one), and wait.
- Occasionally attack a ship not to be bored while waiting.
- When the GIA and the Tribe arrive, switch on all systems.
- Concentrated attack on both parties until they reach 30% hull.
- Pick up the goods and flee back to the station in one piece to sell them!
