SOLO Campaign Notes (10/22/18)

I have been playing Paul Elliott's SOLO now for several months, and it's been an interesting experience. This SOLO campaign is being used to develop some additional backstory for a future gaming campaign I hope to start with some of my friends who role play. Here is a some additional information about what is happening so far.

The "Dean Team" SOLO campaign has been set 13 years prior to the time of my future multi-player campaign. According to the Backstory Timeline, the Republic of Krax has recently won the Krax Civil War and is in the process of consolidating power. Due to the chaos of the war, the Republic of Krax (ROK) is not able to fully control every system. The leadership of the ROK, the 3 Fists Triumvirate (3FT), is in the process of expanding its intelligence service and secret police. The Shattered Planet Security Service (SPS) has been given huge financial support to implement the will of the 3FT leadership. The process of recruiting loyal agents, training, and placing them throughout ROK systems will take years to accomplish. The 3FT leadership is placing priority on those systems near their bases of operation, and along the borders with interstellar governments hostile to the 3FT regime. Those systems near Imperium borders have the highest priority. Systems closer to friendly governments have the lowest priority.

The "Dean Team" campaign is focusing its operations in one of the regions of the ROK that has a low priority for SPS bases of operation. This doesn't mean SPS security agents are not present, but it does mean their numbers and intelligence-gathering abilities are limited. The Dean Team must first enter the ROK through systems close to the Imperium. SPS agents in these systems are much more concentrated than where the Dean Team will set up its base of operations.

The year is 1120. Will the Dean Team be able to successfully carry out its mission? Will an insurgency take root and overthrow the 3FT dictators? Will the player characters in my multi-player campaign find an active resistance present in 1133 when their campaign begins? Only time will tell.
