White Pawns
Round 6, Region 23
His Excellency Elia Eramo, Imperial Plenipotentiary for Kan
Diplomacy: 7
Military: 9
Economy: 2
Faith: 2
Intrigue: 6

Rolls: at bottom of post

Actions:

1. [Military] Invade region 102 with 2 space units and 2 ground units, joining the RRE- and BCC-led coalition.
   0 distance penalty (route: direct through space)
   Cpt. Sekira joins the army in fluff (and leads it up to the rendezvous point, though that's unlikely to matter).
   The moon, uninhabited and thus diplomatically and ethically simple to take over and convenient to build military bases on, in addition to possibly having good sites for archaeological digs and astronomical observation, is a territory coveted by the White Pawns. The Captains' Council was rather slow in deciding how to best respond to the Fiorid Principality preempting our colonization efforts. This decision was made easy now that in the unfolding of a larger conflict, the White Pawns have been hired to fight against the Principality. After expelling the enemy, Cpt. Sekira will simply plant the glorious Stripes and Stripes flag on the moon.
2. [Military] Sack TP 1 in region 33 (Coedd), belonging to COE 2d6+9 Mil, committing one ground unit to it
   The attack on the embassy of our liege will not go unanswered, anc there is nothing more to say about it! Well, okay, Coedd also owes the White Pawns, and as several countries accrue unpaid debts with them, the soldiers get itchy. An all-inclusive vacation to the exotic continent is expected to improve morale.
3. [Diplomacy 5] Create Cultural Identity: 2d8 to Sacks (+gain 1 REN from [Culture] Rising Stars?; If too broad then just 2d8 to Sack TPs)
   Hardened by numerous battles in battlefields as far as Mekhala, the White Pawns' mercenaries become experts at quick deployment and logistics, including foraging, or in case the aforementioned is useless, as it is really anywhere except on Sansar, looting from the civilian populace. This skillset also serves as a useful tool to control hostile civilian sentiments at home.
4. [Diplomacy] Improve relationship with EMP 2>3 (TN 14) 2d6 + 7 Dip
   A political faction, the Imperialists, arises in Kan, calling for the establishment of a closer relationship with Ophon - the relationship which they claim has stagnated over the past few years - and the immediate purge of all traitors, pirates, and other agents of violence and chaos in Tekhum, to fulfill the Kanites' vassal obligations.
5. [Diplomacy] Establish confederation claim on region 21 2d6 + 7 Dip + 1 Renown (TN 12)
   The urgency of securing the borderlands hits Elia Eramo afresh with Coedd's strike - not that it was aimed at Kan, but it demonstrates the ease with which a hostile power could send refugees or militants across the border. The White Pawns are also bound to benefit from an annexation, as they operate at the limits of the capacity of the workforce pool in Kan. Of course, it will be more of an incorporation than annexation properly speaking, as it will be discussed with region 21's leaders and diplomats, and the Imperial subjects in region 21 will be granted the same rights as the subjects in Kan, though that does not involve the right to vote or otherwise directly select one's leadership, after all, the Empire is not a democracy either...

Technology previously unavailable to WTP	0.5-1.5 depending on rarity and utility
Trade Route/Embassy with WTP	3

Services rendered:

Service	Price in MWG
Ground / Space unit deployed	1.1
General / Admiral deployed	1
Delivery (i.e. war actions taken by WTP)	Free
Technologies etc. used by WTP in assisting you	Free
Sack (a)	2
Trade Route Blockade	1 in first round of blockade and 1 each odd round thereafter
Protection (WTP cannot be hired against you, valid once you have paid at least 2 MWG for it)	1 in first round of protection and 1 each odd round thereafter
Investigation (a)	2.5
Theft (a)	2.5
Slander (a)	2.5
Undermine Support etc. (a)	2.5

a) repeated until successful/rendered irrelevant by circumstances

Terms and Conditions:

Any offer may be refused by the Imperial Plenipotentiary for Kan or the Council of Captains for any reason. The White Pawns will refuse one of a set of contradictory missions, e.g. if requested to attack and defend a region. 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. Rebellion against the Empire will not be backed by the White Pawns. The customer is responsible for accounting for distance penalties travel times.

A cancellation fee of 20% applies when a client announces their intention to hire WTP units or other services and the leverage provided by this fact resolves the issue at hand, obviating the need for the service initially requested. In complicated cases, the Council of Captains decides whether the fee is charged. It may also apply when the late decision of a client to cancel prevents WTP from using resources elsewhere.
