The New Mandalorian Wars

I'm happy to play whatever sort of enemy/villain you guys think would be fun to face and overcome. Creating a setting full of despair and dark imagery is something I think I excel at, so whether the enemy is Croakus the Corpulent and a slave empire out of Hutt Space, or Mandalmotors accidently opens an infinity gate to a Rakata world that escaped the fall of their empire and unleashes an army of darkside powered technology wielding evil doers on Mandalore , or just your garden variety Sith with an agenda, I will do my best to keep it entertaining.

That said, I really don't have a personal preference what sort of baddy I am playing, so whatever the group thinks would be most fun works for me.

Gar liser soletar bat ni!

As for story ideas, how about Dragus or Random Dastardly Enemy that is sure to be beyond awesome since Dragus is writing them gets a hold of the Blackwing virus or makes a variant of it without the limitations and either unleashes it on Mandalore or raises an army of undead vicious somethings on planet x and sends them to attack Mandalore to try and start a zombie apocalypse?

Covid got y'all pandemic crazy, lol. That said, there is something there between both those ideas.

- Nanogene spore
- Technobeast

Dragus is the father of mutants and tends to focus on flesh, so I'm thinking an errant pupil of his is out to make a name for himself and prove the superiority of his mechanical monstrosities. That way I have an opportunity to create a new and particularly vile character who stands a better chance of blending in, replete with a faux set of beskar'gam so you don't get a look at his face until the very end.

Maybe there are a couple incidents that appear like plague outbreaks, while he is getting the nanovirus right. The first couple attempts just leave everyone dead, but maybe during an attempt to investigate one of these scenes of viral contamination...the dead don't stay dead. Nothing quite so horrifying as having to face down the tortured faces of your people and loved ones as they've been transformed into mechanical nightmares.

Rather then necessarily for the sole intention of murdering everyone on Mandalore, since why waste all that delicious meat, the megalomaniacal plot is to transform the population into an army of beskar clad techno-horrors. There could be a couple different of different encounters all culminating in a final showdown on some ridiculous space station/ship/super weapon.

Unless that's too nuts. Alright, I had to get that idea out so I can actually sleep now, so I'm off to bed.

That’s what I was thinking of anyways. Small incidents where things are being done to sabotage the Mandalorian Assembly. I had thought of a major battle at Mandalore but also many of it’s important worlds under siege like Contruum, Concord Dawn, and Ordo before efforts are put forth to push against the enemy and strike for their base of operations.

Dragus consider not only these unconventional beasts but also followers and regular soldiers. Gotta have a campaign that brings us to the ultimate battle at some location out in the Unknown Regions after all!

I like your ideas! Maybe the smaller outbreaks take place on Ordo and so forth, with the final confrontation taking place on Manda'yaim and leading to the rise of the Mandalore?

May I suggest that my father not be allowed to nominate for Mand'alor?

Also some sort of massive sneak attack on Myrkr would be welcome. Something that forces Clan Australis to begin from a position of weakness, and adapt to the overwhelming force of the enemy's campaign.

Nominates Kaine for official DJ for the story ;p

That's a good point. I know you guys want a war and such.

So what if we start off on one of those Mando colonies there, doesn't really matter which, and he assaults it with a force of your typical stormtroopers or mercenaries. His intent for attacking would be to gather samples and to serve as a distraction while he tests out the virus, so we don't find out about it until more or less that first battle concludes. Then gradually the technobeasts are introduced over the course of several battles as the virus gets perfected and then towards the end they'd be more or less what he'd be using the most.

It will be hard to besiege multiple worlds simultaneously without way more RPers involved, so we could almost do a Mandalorian world crawl where we start with one...get a battle and plot brewing, then when that wraps up peeps have a bit of time recover and investigate, then the next world gets attacked, and so on and so forth.

I like it.

So we'd start of with the Battle of InsertPlanetHere, where Dragus's army begins drawing attention of Mandos. Calls for aid go out to the Clans, and forces are mobilized to meet the threat. While the Mandalorians are distracted, a devastating coordinated strike hits key targets; the yards at Mandalore, Clan Australis on Myrkr, maybe more. Myrkr is heavily depopulated and Australis military is decimated.

This is when the Mandalorians realize they are the true target and need to come together to meet this threat.
