What is the Dimnus Directive?

[Sarias]

Lord Sarias’ calm, yet lacking voice would play as the newly established mission board flickered to life.

“In the wake of Operation Stormline and the Republic’s rapid mobilization efforts, the fleets of the Horuset Powerbase are expected to see engagements at an escalated rate not seen since the blockade over Anx Minor during our deployment to its fronts. The powerbase will need grander infrastructure in its shipyards, to keep its fires burning in the fronts”.

“The Sphere of Resurgence has identified a target for its harvest of resources - The Rocande Shipyards. Rocande is a neutral world of floating cities situated in the gas giant’s breathable atmosphere, with imperial leaning presence, the powerbase itself holding a foothold due to the efforts of Sith Zasa”.

“Its Shipyards are lesser but nonetheless a rival to that of Serpindals’ - The Dimnus Directive is being launched to seek and harvest the resources that flow into it. From production lines to persona of influence, political reach and off-world targets with ties to the Republic. We will reap it to further our own course”.

“5 initial targets have been marked via sources local to Rocande and the H.I.D. More will gradually be posted as they are located”.

“The Sphere of War is providing assistance towards these missions as is required”.

“Each mission will have a mission commander and a deadline. It befalls the commander of a mission to ensure a report is filed at the end - failure will be punished, success rewarded. Missions posted are open for any within the powerbase to attach themselves to”.

OOC how does this work?

Simple! Each mission is a premise that it will be up for each mission commander to plan out how to take on. Have any assets you wanna put to use? Wanna go in guns blazing or take a more diplomatic route? Maybe you do a bit of additional research or coordinate cover identities ahead of time.
As long as the primary objective is accomplished and a report posted? Go nuts.

Mentioned IC’ly above, those who participate stand to get compensated for a successful mission. Need a little bit of cash injection? Reputation to build? Or do you lack shuttles to get that idea off the ground. Or simply for the thrill of it?

How do I join?

1. All the missions are posted on this board in their own thread - I suggest reading through them, seeing if there’s one you like.
   
2. See one you like? You just sign up like you would an operation.
   
3. Once its full and a member of the team has marked themselves as a mission commander, the planning can begin.
   
4. Its up to whoever is marked as the commander to plan out the execution/approach to the mission. Its highly encouraged to communicate and roleplay with the team in-game regarding planning. Your squadmate might have assets, good ideas or connections to pull on!
   
5. Highly recommend creating a group in discord to coordinate! If you want to do any preliminary scouting/information gathering as part of planning, let Sab know.
   
6. Once a plan is settled on, find a GM amongst yourselves or use the LF-GM channel in the discord.
   

How many can I join?
You can join up to 2 at a time. More missions may appear, depending on interest in this directive. These do not count towards your operations limit.
