Description: Crop Sabotage
Many worlds are suffering unexpected crop failures blamed on virulent diseases, and there are rumors that this might be some sort of engineered plague, fingers are being pointed at Sivria, a wealthy agricultural world whose ruler owns stakes in many Agricultural Fiefs. The Landsdraad has been asked to take powerful measures to limit the spread of these diseases and to investigate Sivria’s role in the affair.
Aye: Each player receives 2d6 shares of CHOAM Stock seized from Sivria’s Lord
Nay: Each player receives 3000 MS in bribes, Agri Fief’s produce no income this round
Temp Factions - Aye: 3d6, Nay: 3d6, Lean Nay: 2d6
Assets – 3 Agri fiefs, 2 weak elector, 1 avg elector, 1 RSA, 1 planet, 1 hero
Description: Ore Rich Asteroid Belt
A rich source of ore has been discovered, and the owner of the system wishes to exploit it. However the area is also said to be home to a major pirate base, who have been attacking many expeditions sent to the asteroids. The system lord has asked for assistance suppressing this attack by a show of force from the combined Landsdraad, and the Chancellor has suggested each of the nominees commit a full legion to the attack, which he says will improve the nominees favor with the Landsdraad, and offers to show a couple of the nominees some pointers on the art of Diplomacy. So as not to offend the chancellor, each player must have at least 1 standard legion able to move is on their homeworld to join in the attack, if the resolution is passed, if it is not the force will simply remain on their homeworld. Rumor also has it that many mining companies have begun funding the pirates to avoid an expected drop in demand if the ore should be made available.
Aye: The system’s lord thanks the nominees for rally the forces and grants them each 1 unit of militia, their Diplomacy Score in Stock Shares, and 1 random Standard Asset, and becomes available the next round as an average elector. Enraged pirates focus their attentions on the nominees, adding +1 to each player’s random attack score.
Nay: Each player receives 2500 MS in bribes, Ore mine’s produce double income this round
Temp Factions - Aye: 3d6, Nay: 3d6, Lean Nay: 2d6
Assets – 3 Ore Mines, 1 weak elector, 1 avg elector, 1 School: Diplomacy (minor), 1 School: Diplomacy (major)
Description: Reparations
After an outbreak of unrest on their world, a group of minor houses asked the Landsdraad to send in troops to help suppress riots, the Landsdraad agreed and the Emperor sent in some of the Sardaukar. The riots were put down rather over-enthusiastically resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths, and the minor houses are now asking for reparations for this excessive violence.
Aye: The grateful minor houses transfer control of weapons planned for containing further unrest to the players, amounting 1 unit of militia and 1 Legion Upgrade Token each, Planetary income for the round is up, +200 MS for Poor Planets, 400 for Average and 600 for Rich, including homeworlds, each Standard Asset generates +100 MS.
Nay: The Emperor is pleased with the Landsdraad’s approval of his force’s actions, and grants each player 1 Share of CHOAM Stock for each vote they control, but Electors count for half rounded down as they take a cut (an Elector with 5 votes would grant 2 shares, 6 votes 3 shares). Increased unrest, all Planetary Income is down 50% including homeworlds as resources are diverted to suppress riots, Weapons factories produce +600 MS this round
Temp Factions - Aye: 3d6, Nay: 4d6, Lean Nay: 2d6
Assets – 2 RSA, 1 weak elector, 1 avg elector, 1 RLG, 1 planet, 1 hero
Description: Violation of Guild Peace
The unthinkable has happened, a House has attacked a rival on board a Guild Heighliner. The Guild has asked the matter be turned over to the Landsdraad for a Trial by Forfeiture but demanded it be swift and decisive. The attacking House claims they were attacked first, and evidence indicates that the noble commanding the ship that was later attacked assaulted his counterpart. He admits to striking the other but says it was provoked, and that an actual armed attack on his forces was excessive in the extreme. The Landsdrrad has been asked to decide if the House unlawfully violated Guild Peace.
Aye: The House is divested of all it’s good, their planet goes up for auction the next round and each player receives 1 Random Standard Asset
Nay: Spaceport Income is reduced by 50%, the grateful house grants each player 1d6+2 Stock
Temp Factions - Aye: 3d6, Nay: 4d6, Lean Aye: 2d6
