The White Rose Conventicle

Luxiris was college drop out and now had a long police record, Luxiris was in his early twenties with few options left to gain the career of his dreams. He came from a spoiled background, could not live up to his parents expectations and was cut off completely from their money after he was caught using their credit for his own revolutionary projects. Luxiris despised the Amarr system of government, he despised children and family too but it was politics that kept him plotting more ways to disrupt peoples lives to further his cause. He believed that by causing chaos and getting it blamed on the government would force a revolution, he did not care about the cost. Luxiris thought he had it all figured out because he met some people that were part of a galactic revolutionary scheme. Who he was working with was the greater part of the mystery, not even Imperial Intelligence had that figured out. Luxiris had no idea that the Empire had hired people that could bring his world crashing down and possibly dig deeper into those who funded him.

In a remote part of the solar system, the Sigil class ship named Disrupt to Victory, moved at a mere 20 meters per second. Luxiris was on the bridge of the ship looking at his officers. The ships captain Magnus, reported all clear for the electronics officer to begin the transmissions. So moments later the vast array of electronics in the ships belly began to send its signal, first to disrupt and second to replace broadcasts on all planets and less secure stations with its own.

Within minutes billions of people across the solar system went from watching their favorite programs or news to watching a video of Imperial soldiers shooting people execution style. Messages flashing across their screens about laws recently passed and oppression.

At a huge sports stadium, two hundred thousand people stopped watching the game on the field because of the video showing never before seen footage of their local governor giving the order to “tax the peasants to hell”.

Luxiris smiled as he watched from the bridge, he knew once again his plan was working flawlessly. That already after weeks of this, trouble was brewing for Imperial Politicians and the Military.

The electronics officer reported “Captain Magnus, I am picking up signals from an incoming ship.”

“Check your frequency, no one can probe our location out that fast.” The Captain said

After a minute the electronics officer shouted “No sir, enemy ship exiting warp on our starboard side, frigate class moving in for attack”
“Maximum power, set warp drives, get us out of here” Magnus shouted with alarm
Luxiris was a bit shocked, he turned to Magnus “Captain, I thought you said this ship can’t be locked down, we can warp right?”

“Yes, yes but I don’t want to take any chances” the captain stroked his short beard and kept his cool.

Electronics reported “Captain, second ship exiting warp on our port side, another frigate”

“Who in the hell are they? I want reports now” The Captain demanded.

“No sir they are showing a foreign code, mercs I think, Rieos Coalition” the officer replied

“I never heard of them” Luxiris turned to the captain.

“Damn Imperial lap dogs, warp us out now, engage warp drives” Magnus barked.

“Warp drives off line, interference sir”

“No! you said we could escape, you said this…” Luxiris shouted at the captain, worry in his eyes.

“Captain a third ship, a cruiser directly ahead exiting warp, drones being deployed, they are neutralizing our capacitor” the electronics officer reported.

“shut up Lux, if you had followed my procedures we wouldn’t be here but you keep stalling for more time for your damn transmission.” Captain Magnus knew he was in trouble, and he didn’t hold back his displeasure with Luxiris.

“We are paying you good money, this is your fault” Luxiris told the captain pointing a finger at him.

“you better get off my ship before I change my mind whose side I am on” Anger flashed in Magnus eyes towards Luxiris.

“Pray my employer doesn’t hear you say that” Luxiris narrowed his eyes at the captain.

“Oh so now you are suddenly a man of god” Magnus replied

Luxiris cared more about saving his own skin, he rushed down the corridor towards escape pods, sirens were going off all over the ship as the small crew grabbed guns preparing for a fight.

Explosions rocked the ship. The pressure hull was breached and space marines swung in through the large hole. A few of the ships crew nearby were slammed against the bulkhead and died quickly as air escaped into the vaccum of space. The ships hatches all closed but one blast of a marines grenade gun blew one open again, killing two more crewmen.

Luxiris scrambled into an escape pod and just before the doors closed there was a huge explosion that almost knocked him unconscious from hitting the ceiling. Marines rushed in and grabbed him before he blacked out due to lack of oxygen

The gold plated shuttle of the Amarrian Baroness arrived to the offices of the Admiral without much notification. The tall, dark haired diplomat hurried to greet the Admiral Lucius Britannia politely as always and presented him with a letter with an Imperial Seal, she did so with a smile. Admiral Lucius knew this must be something good. He opened the letter and it read.

“After negotiations with various diplomats the Rieos Coalition has been chosen by the Amarr Empire for a special mission.” The Admiral looked up from the letter with a raised eyebrow toward his diplomat however she had already turned away with a sly grin, he continued to read “A radical liberal named Luxiris Galant has teamed up with his wealthy allies who wish to disrupt Imperial Society. Our Intel agents have not been able to identify his allies yet. These allies have however provided Luxiris with a large enough ship, packed with electronics, to jam broadcasts across the Ordion System. His broadcasts are rebellious and heretical and must be stopped. Instructions will be given to your fleet commander once this task is accepted. Meet the Imperial Agent at the Amarr Navy Testing Facility in Ordion at the given time. Have your fleet prepared for anything. You will have to probe the ship out most likely.”

The Admiral of the Rieos Coalition accepted the Amarr Empires offer to hunt down and bring Luxiris to them. The Rieos fleet was assembled by Lord Balthasar Dorian and the flagship was HK-9, an Arbitrator class cruiser. Two frigates joined the fleet and provided probing and other support capabilities.

Lord Dorian met with the Imperial Agent at a space station in the Ordion System. There was a short briefing to discuss how Luxiris operates. The Agent explained that the enemy ship had a host of electronics on board to disrupt frequencies and broadcasts across the Ordion system. They were not fast enough in tracking down and intercepting the rogue ship so that is why they hired the Rieos Coalition. Though it was a larger vessel that Luxiris used, the size of a hauler, the Imperial Command could not probe the ship down fast enough before It completed its disruptions and cloaked. Fleet Commander Dorian took the instructions from the Imperial Agent and in short time he deployed his fleet.
