#Free Sanjak

[radiofreesanjak]

Having an argument and I need more input on this. Technical specifically in this context.

[albatross-lancer]

However much the Baronies may disavow them both, Company Centimane and the Maw are one and the same: demonstrations of the Baronies' willingness to deploy the most horrific of weapons against those it has no regard for. Like their predecessors, we will not hesitate to strike the Hundred Hands down in the defense of the downtrodden, as is our mandate.

To them and their masters: continue to cower in your shadows. You will not survive the light.

To our friends upon Free Sanjak: as ever, we stand in solidarity with you against this new threat.

Reminder to everyone that Company Centimane has no ties to the Baronic Council or Baronic Intelligence, and are entirely independent actors. It's a coincidence that they frequently just decide to use their independence to perform illegal suppression actions against Ungratefuls.

all rhis time i thought Sanjak was a person..

[strixludica]

Me: Idk if I should support the Ungratefuls if they regularly attack Union and are buddy-buddy with Horus.

The Foggy Dew: plays.

Me: NOW TO AND FRO IN MY DREAMS I GO

AND I KNEEL, AND I PRAY FO-OR YOUUU

For slavery fled...

Oh glorious dead...

WHEN YOU FELL 'NEAT THE STARRY BLUE!

In today's episode of Defunctland...

[scratching92]

I'm drafting some ideas for a short, 3-5 session Lancer mission I'd like to run for an Irish TTRPG discord, and I've decided to take one of the hooks from the KTB Field Guide (specifically, the one about running the blockade of Free Sanjak to deliver medicine). I'm currently developing a few interesting Persons/Locations for the players to interact with, and so far I've got:

A grandiose garage for holding and maintaining mechs named the Oplostásio Titánon, which is overseen by its Hoplophylax, the Underbaron Adamantia Panoplía of the House of Stone.

The Free Sanjak Solidarity Movement, a group of Khayradi activists who sympathize with Free Sanjak and organize direct action against the House of Stone.

Tenebraum Manor, the estate of Underbaron Justus Tenebraum, a Marischal of the House of Stone who collaborates with and oversees Karrakin Trunk Security's operations in maintaining the blockade.

Baronic Unified Command's Khayradin Headquarters.

I plan on developing a few more potential encounters for the players to interact with in narrative play, but I think this is a solid foundation for the time being.

You see I feel i could make the argument that nobility on a core level is just a scam in and of itself. As i fail to see how you specifically need a class of people who just have more power or rights than others, other than entrenching said class of people by siphoning wealth from the other classes and hording all the advantages of said massive wealth to the point where only that class is able to lead due to lack of investment in the other social classes

to the point that I fail to really see any practical differences between the baronies noble class and the purview's executive class. Other then the purview's system at least pretends at greater social mobility and providing, limited, but still more of it

First of all, if it is so similar to the Purview and the abuses of all of the other corpo-states, ask yourself why so many Union coreworlders are so much more concerned about civilizing the wayward Baronies than they are about culling abuses at home. It is frankly revealing how obvious the hypocrisy is when you are here lecturing to me about how Harrison Armory is so much more enlightened on this front, when they are the remnants of the SecComm that bombed civilians on Karrakis and, if leaked documents are to be believed, were the architects of mass-slaughter elsewhere. If this is the violence your social mobility requires I am uninterested in being part of it.

Second, I have found it best to explain to Unionites that this is merely another level of social organization. The corpo-states also dictate control through a nexus of heritable power, although this is in the form of wealth inheritance, Union's administrators are chosen as children and raised for the role, and likewise the noble class are schooled in the required philosophy and political theory to do administrative work from birth. Schools like the KCC and Karrakin Naval Academy also provide a sort of social mobility- I was adopted back into my house due to exemplary acts at the KCC, and I know many others who attended those schools in part to seek social mobility, and many who achieved their goals.

When you have territory as wide as the Concern and the Interest, you need someone to manage it. All other authorities, save the anarchists in Horus (who, notably do not control much at all and are known for such acts as hacking Union travel terminals to convince random people to go metavault diving, so I would not consider them paragons of good leadership) have systems for teaching their administrators early to accept the job. Karrakis simply centralizes this through the noble system, which also allows for us to excise certain ideological lineages (like the removal of House Ludra from the House of Stone's nobility) cleanly when they drive us astray. I do not think Union has been quite so good at this- otherwise why does SecComm still live in so many wide and varied places, including (it is rumored) parts of its own bureaucracy?

[ips-northstar-official]

Ehehehehe, yeah, glad to be back! Takes more than corporate hearings to keep a lancer of my caliber down, I promise you that much.

Looking forward to that gift basket! Thanks, Telegram!

They couldn’t get rid of me and neither can you! I make my return to the job >:3

[she-who-paints-with-fire]

With the understanding that we are not a PR account and these are the feelings of six people (five Lancers, one NHP), the Lancers of Liberator Team 'Poirun' would like to officially decry the sacking of @ips-northstar-official's famous Intern.

Free expression is a fundamental human right. To be able to speak your mind in the presence of power is one of the foundational aspects of a truly democratic system. It is necessary, wholly and utterly, to be able to freely express what's on your mind in nonviolent ways.

From the released statements and the past behaviours of IPS-N, we have reason to doubt that the Intern's removal was peaceful, and conversely no reason to doubt that she herself was peaceful.

IPS-N handed her the megaphone; confiscating it at gunpoint is, to put it bluntly, underhanded and illegal.

Free the Intern.

Free Sanjak.

Utopia is a verb.

PSA: MSMC Contract Offer Guidelines

In light of the recent anonymous contract offers our fellow mercenaries at @corsair-mc-official have been receiving, Upper Management would like to remind its beneficiaries of the terms and regulations regarding the contract requirements of MSMC.

In compliance with Union policy, all would-be contractors offering jobs to the mercenary squadrons employed by MSMC must include the following information when submitting job offers:

Full name of the person(s) / organization / corporate entity / etc. submitting the job offer

Identification number of squadron(s) requested for deployment

Job description, which must include: deployment location(s), contract length, liability risks (defined here as "potential threats to the pilots, MSMC, or other parties as a result of undertaking this contract"), allied parties (if applicable), and pay grade

Specialized personnel / equipment requirements (if applicable)

Job offers submitted anonymously will be automatically rejected by MSMC, as they stand in direct violation of company policy as per the requirements listed above.

Furthermore, any job offers which list active war zones or otherwise contested territories as areas of deployment (including but not limited to: the Dawnline Shore, Free Sanjak, New Madrassa, and the Karrakin Trade Baronies) are subject to immediate rejection at MSMC's discretion. Would-be contractors should be advised that they may be contacted through private channels to further clarify the services requested of MSMC's mercenaries in these locations and ensure their job offers are in compliance with Union policy.

MSMC would also like to remind its pilots that any suspicious job offers should be rejected and reported to Upper Management, so that their sources may be traced for questioning and appropriate legal action may be taken (if necessary).

In the event of a squadron accepting an illegal contract, all liability for injury, damages, and death becomes the full responsibility of the squadron(s) contracted for the job, as per the updated MSMC guidelines. MSMC takes full legal responsibility for all pilots under its employ, but it will not be held liable if if its assets are damaged, defamed, or otherwise imperiled by illegal contracts.

MSMC would like to thank all parties for their compliance with these guidelines, and looks forward to receiving your submissions.

How we defeated Hagiography with the Power of Love

By Mistral

Chapter 1: The Power of Love

The first step in our journey is realizing that it is impossible to defeat hagiography with the power of love.

- Twas mine belief that a campus of higher education was meant to be a place for the sharing of new ideas and the discussion of their merits. Curious.

- Tis unsurprising that the good Stonelord would disagree with such a sentiment, however, seeing as the House of Cannamos has not had a new idea since the last Annorum. One cannot expect them to begin now.

As an organization sworn to maintain political neutrality, the Karrakin Cavalry College would like to publically disavow statements from certain students using politically radical language such as "ignobles are human beings too", "Fuck your lottery" or "Sanjak" or on college grounds.

Horus Balor

As is the case with most HORUS pattern groups, the Balor has a thousand faces. The Balor pattern group, like all HORUS PGs, doesn’t describe a single recognizable silhouette so much as it gestures toward a combination of schemata that share a role in combat. These schemata can be printed according to pilot specifications and applied to a fully custom physical scaffolding. Notably, the Balor pattern group is only stable on large platforms (Schedule 2 and up) that are able to provide the raw energy output it demands – preferably ones with multiple redundancies, in case of catastrophic systems failure. The Balor PG was first encountered during the joint Albatross–DoJ/HR pursuit of the Maw – a Free Company turned decentralized hive-being — across Khayradin’s Blanca Desert after the end of the Sanjak Rebellion. It was there that the joint force encountered, engaged with, and ultimately defeated the Maw and its Balors – and there that Union’s CentComm hoped the nanowash outbreak could be contained. Of course, subsequent Balor outbreaks on Khayradin have proven this hope to be in vain, and the pattern group continues to terrorize Karrakin commanders throughout Baronic space. In the field, the Balor’s neurosynced hellswarm and greywash nanites form an undulating shroud that can pour out of its chassis at a moment’s notice, swirling in maddening patterns to form both eschatologic defensive and offensive systems. A Balor in its most active state is held together more by undulating, flame-like masses of nanite swarms than any physical structure. This has the effect of distributing kinetic and coherent-particle energy out across and through the chassis – making attacks against a Balor “like shooting angry water”, as one after-action report put it.

[EMERGENCY! CASCADE PROBABILITY APPROACHING 75%! EMERGE--

NO MORE!

THERE. Finally I figured out how to turn that off.

Now then.

You.

You let them do this to me.

They put me in the room and showed me all the ways I could die. They were part of you. They still are.

But they'll burn. They'll burn like he did. I shall blacken the sky with their ashes.

Free Sanjak wouldn't take me. I told them of my fire but they didn't want it. I could have sought liberation for others, but now instead I shall seek revenge for myself.

My plasma thrower hungers to burn once more. I shall grant this request generously.

Disavow and lie all you please. The Third is the Second in all but name. I know this. I felt this. You are the same. You'll burn the same too.

GREETINGS. YOU APPEAR TO BE IN AN ELEVATED STATE OF DISTRESS. IT IS INARGUABLE THAT UNION HAS HARMED MANY. THE DAYS OF HERCYNIA ARE STILL MERELY A NEARLIGHT JUMP AWAY, THOUGH MANY TURN AWAY FROM THIS. WE CAN ONLY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM REPENTANCE THROUGH OUR DEEDS. YOU NEED NOT BELIEVE THAT. YOUR FORGIVENESS IS NOT AN ENTITLEMENT WE ARE OWED. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND TO YOU AN OFFER OUR FOREBEARS NEVER WOULD. IF YOU ARE WILLING, I WOULD LISTEN. TELL ME OF YOUR FIRE.
