Fall Of Osman

Fall Of Osman is a roleplaying plot run by GM Charmaylarg.

Status: The plot is currently in its planning phase and is collecting players.

Symbol of the SOS Coalition, issued as a pin to every participating force for posterity

The plot takes place on the planet Planet Osman in the system of the same name. Invaded months prior by the NMX only now as the sector prepares for war against a reemergence of the Mishu has it been discovered that they have a foothold far from the sectors core for reasons unknown.

Too far to send any forces to confirm or judge the size of the threat the larger of the sectors power bases cannot commit to Osmans liberation.

But they are not the only ones who live there.

The call has gone out. Mercenaries from this sector and those left over from the war, stray forces within range of Osman from the various powers of the Kikyo sector, those who once conquered and then abandoned Osman once; All come together under under the banner of the S.O.S. Coalition.

The coalition now rallies to either liberate Osman, or save what remains.

The Saviors of Osman's Salvation (SOS) is a coalition committed to the salvation of Osman's inhabitants. On Paper SOS's mission is to restore sovereignty, safeguard lives, and secure a brighter future for Osman. In reality, the coalition is made up of loosely aligned forces with their own agendas and priorities with some of them holding the liberation of Osman secondary. The coalition is made up the following groups:

• Shasta No Sekai
• Fujiko Development Corporation
• Galactic Horizon

The plot will be an SP format with the chance for occasional JPs. Pacing is once a week in the forums.

The plot, unlike the norm, does not follow the actions of Player characters but instead of groups and forces under the control of players. Each player will either bring to the Coalition a force they already control (Army, mercenaries, corporation, etc.) and will play their respective force the same way they would play a single character by dictating the action of the forces they have at play in each thread allocated to them.

Their actions will then be at play within a large theater of operations in each thread controlled by the GM (Char) much like a grand strategy game.

The types of units and forces are up to the discretion of the player of what they will bring but must be put onto a page that can be linked here. Forces are limited to Ten Companies¹⁾ in number. For simplicity's sake each company will be treated as one single unit to be controlled. Each company can be made up of one single type of unit such as:

• Infantry
• Powered Armor
• Vehicles
• Tanks
• Mechs/Mecha
• Fighters/Bombers/Etc.
• Logistics
• Etc.

For balance sake a company is roughly 150-200 soldiers on average but does not mean a company of tanks will contain 150-200 tanks, etc. Forces can be larger or smaller than ten companies and are not required to be the max. But any forces with above ten companies will only have ten to choose from.

Other players may also bring their own corporations and non-combat entities if they wish to participate in one way or another, or simply wish for their group to be involved in the background.

Flagship of the Osman Liberation Operation

Operated by Shasta No Sekai

The HMMMS Stupendamonia, often simply referred to as the “Stupendamonia,” stands as the flagship of the Osman Liberation Operation. A colossal converted container ship, it plays a pivotal role in the coalition's mission to liberate the planet Osman. Operated by Shasta No Sekai, this engineering marvel has been transformed into a versatile and formidable asset.

The Stupendamonia's journey to its current state began with a significant investment. Purchased by Shasta No Sekai for a staggering 3 million KS, this behemoth had a humble origin as a bulk cargo transporter already almost a century old, predating some starfaring nations in the Kikyo sector itself.

Once acquired, the ship underwent a remarkable transformation. The first major modification involved replacing all of its large storage containers with specialized drop pods. These pods are designed for rapid deployment and can be used to transport troops, equipment, and supplies planetside, ensuring swift and efficient ground operations.

In addition to the drop pods, the Stupendamonia was equipped with extensive fabricators to support groundside operations. These fabricators are invaluable logistical support to the coalition forces.

To bolster its defenses, the ship saw the hazardous installation of anti-ship turrets. These turrets serve as a deterrent against hostile vessels and provide an added layer of protection to the Stupendamonia and its precious cargo. They also offer limited groundside fire support.

Furthermore, armored plates were meticulously bolted onto the ship's exterior, enhancing its resilience in combat situations. These plates provide additional protection against enemy fire and environmental hazards, ensuring the ship's durability during its vital missions.

The Stupendamonia's adaptability is further highlighted by the installation of missile batteries within some of its modified containers. These batteries offer ranged firepower to support ground operations and are capable of launching precision strikes against enemy positions.

The HMMMS Stupendamonia serves as a symbol of determination and resourcefulness, epitomizing the spirit of the Osman Liberation Operation. With its diverse capabilities, this colossal vessel plays a central role in the coalition's mission to reclaim Osman and secure the freedom of its people.
