White Pawns
Round 3, Region 23
His Excellency Elia Eramo, Imperial Plenipotentiary for Kan
Diplomacy: 6
Military: 7
Economy: 2
Faith: 2
Intrigue: 4
Rolls: TODO
Actions:
- [Military] Assault region 110 together with RAT. Send 1 space unit, 1 land unit and Captain Sekira, who will lead the Combined Front using the Measured Advance tactic. Upon victory, the region will be bequeathed to RAT. Aside from the RAT units and treasure, I do not think there are any other modifiers.
- Although Cpt. Sekira has earned many victories against bandits or in border skirmishes in Zabava, the first truly international campaign now stands before him. The Durats appear to be very motivated to make their first colony theirs, although one would perhaps choose another nation to fight a campaign with, as their natural aptitude to combat is questionable. The small size might not play such a great role with modern weapons, but the pods they form... if one member is gone, the intelligence of all members suffers? Not so desirable on a chaotic battlefield, and in Sekira's opinion, all battlefields are either tactically trivial or chaotic. Well, ultimately, it doesn't matter what is his opinion of them. Three million guilder is three million guilder, and if he didn't take the offer, his men would mutiny.
- Thinking of tactics, the Durats were wise to know to leave this to the professionals. Naturally, he decides to play it safe. Aside from this being the first battle on the Firmament, first battle with Durats, etc., mercenaries, although they have a job involving putting themselves in harm's way, are not fans of dying, nor do their life insurance companies like that. Let's just slowly siege down all the population centers, hopefully preserving as much of the forest that has economic value.
- Basu-Rahman reporters are cordially invited to live-stream the campaign (and give the White Pawns free advertising).
- [Intrigue] Secret action
- [Diplomacy] Attend the Second Hexenniel Conference for the Liberation of Knowledge and Fostering of Growth in Sansar
- Pay 1 treasure in taxes to the Empire
- Receive technologies from Arkhive (Aclaustrophobic Psychiatry, Algorithmic Imagination, Arcane Amplification, In Vivo Modification,
Nuclear Fusion(already owned), Xenolinguistic Cataloguing, Badalian Megadirigibles) The Arkhive receive 6*0.5 = 3 million White Guilder for their kindness and dedication to furthering the knowledge of humanity.- Elia Eramo votes IN FAVOR of Calpurnius' amendment, with the reservation that he would prefer the first item of it only, if it were possible. The second item gives back to the Patrons what undue power the first item took from them, and will enable two influential nations to bounce Patronage between each other. He votes AGAINST the Freedom of Conscience Amendment, which, although disguised as giving Arkhive the right of religious self-determination, serves plainly to entrench the official position of Coedd (and was surely brought to the table by Coedd lobbying for itself in the background), while Arkhivists come from many different backgrounds and hold a wide variety of religious beliefs.
- [Intrigue] Explore region 22 2d6 + 4 + 1 EMP rep = 11
- [Diplomacy] Sway govt support in region 21 (adjacent Open: TN 12) 2d6 + 6 + 1 EMP rep = 13

The White Pawns will also refuse missions if there is insufficient manpower to carry all missions out. You may pay more than the prices listed above; if you do, it may be taken into consideration when deciding which missions to refuse.
You may go in debt with the White Pawns and pay later, but if the debt is egregious, or it is mainained for an excessively long period, it may be collected on actively.
