-Things are not stable in the Imperium. Between DATASS falling apart and Sky Marshal Sanders' coup, the cracks of unrest are clear to see. The Imperium's enemies look on in glee, waiting to pick up the pieces of the flailing nation. Can this be fixed? Can the Imperium return its golden years? Only with the help of the IPG's Omniscience Division. And one of the officers they picked to  keep Nepleslia and her colonies safe is [[character:joshua_bates]], a Captain that has been part of the [[nepleslia:ipg]] since its founding.+Things were'nt stable in the Imperium.

 In preparation for his new assignment and given all the leeway he needs, Captain Bates has recruited a team of Commandos to go wherever he thinks the Imperium needs help. But first, he needs to make sure the new team is up to the task and their name, Bates' Reprobates. Their motto? Make love and war. In preparation for his new assignment and given all the leeway he needs, Captain Bates has recruited a team of Commandos to go wherever he thinks the Imperium needs help.

-Trouble started though. The Crew was rend in two when the IPG made a sudden order to execute three members of the ship: [[character:Cleo_OConner]], [[character:Daran_Ist_Laderen]], and [[character:Thame_Sra_Kiraten]]. The crew, split by the decision, underwent a massive mutiny that ended in most of the crew dead, and the survivors on the run. With bounties on their heads, the remaining crew of the Interregnum is on the run for Planet Komodo, where they hope to seek refuge.+Trouble started though.

 ==== Concept ==== ==== Concept ====
-{{faction:nepleslia:hray_new.png?600|}} 
  
-An [[nepleslia:ipg|IPG]] Commando plot based around a [[nepleslia:hray_gunship]], the NSS Interregnum, and its crew, dealing with whatever problems the Imperium comes up against. The plot's members will be the IPG's troubleshooters in dealing with threats to Nepleslia. Depending on future events, the Interregnum could be doing a whole slew of things, from policing rebelling systems to infiltrating Yamataian territory.+A special forces/intelligence agent plot based around a group of ex-[[faction:nepleslia:intelligence_and_pacification_group|IPG Commandos]] as they help establish the new nation of [[faction:asteria]], taking the jobs that their Machiavellian boss gives them as they try to earn enough money to get out from under her. Players will be given the opportunity to take a significant role in Asteria's founding and stabilizing a shaky foundation for moral and monetary benefit. 
 + 
 +Current mission plan is as follows: 
 + 
 +Mission 4: Hired by Chloe to guard a crime boss meeting on Asura III.
  
-The first mission will be some training, setting the tone for the plot, etc. Second one will most likely be a trip to Nepleslia Prime and dealing with some rumors that have come to the IPG's ears. Players will have the ability to choose how the plot deals with the issues that come up, with a focus on whether to support the military coup of the government, hilarity should ensue and we'll deal with the fallout.

-Have you ever wanted to be the MIB? The secret police? Any and all of those comic book anti-hero stereotypes? Well, your in luck, because this is the plot just for you. The setting is Nepleslia, specifically IPG Commandos, Omniscience Division. We'll be flying in an upgraded Hray gunship, NSS Interregnum, dealing with all the issues that have cropped up in the Imperium due to internal instability and the virtual disintegration of DATASS.+Have you ever wanted to be the MIB? The secret police? Any and all of those comic book anti-hero stereotypes? Well, your in luck, because this is the plot just for you. The setting is [[faction:asteria]], in the Free Company (TBD), as we go about supporting our new masters as a new nation is born, and working to get a better ship, since we blew up the last one.
  
-So, besides the setting, what else does this plot bring to the table? Well, a problem that I've seen come up in play and be expressed by other people is that having a character focused either on ship stuff like a starship operator or focused on ground-based combat like a Marine makes for boring play when the plot is focused on an area that doesn't include there specialty. I was interested in Fred's recent attempt at the problem by letting players make side characters to play while their main characters are left twiddling their thumbs. What I would like to do is build this directly into the plot, with players controlling two characters, a member of the Commando team and one of the starship's crew.+So, besides the setting, what else does this plot bring to the table?

-This, did not happen. After a successful breach of the enemy ship by means of Power Armoured soldiers, they faced a startling amount of controlled, prepared resistance. Further more, on the Interregnum, Lieutenant Hunters had been providing the Interregnums location to the pirates, while failing to warn the Captain of approaching enemies, allowing the Interregnum to be boarded.+This, did not happen.
