The Three Point Rim Sector

Welcome to the Three-Point Rim Sector.

Across all of Rimspace, this sector is perhaps the most promising and the most hazardous. The birthplace of civilisation in this expanse is Icarue, the planet that has pioneered colonisation throughout these newly mapped constellations. Through the Icarue Imperium new territories are established, threats conquered and resources pillaged. Whatever the Pioneers need, the Icarue Imperium gets. The investment has been great, making the need for success and rewards even greater and more urgent.

New opportunities constantly arise to research new sites, aid in the development of colonies and industrial plants, and discover new assets. Of course, with these comes a steady flow of rescue missions and SOS signals.

Operations, Missions & the Icarue Imperium.

While primarily a military superpower, Imperium makes use of all operations under the protection of their marines. These operations are assigned to small, well funded groups recognised by their vessel. The more advanced and larger staffed the vessel is usually represents a higher class tier of operatives. These vessels are assigned or offered operations from their command ship within the Fleet. Individual operating vessels can go years without returning to their Fleet, able to carry out minor repairs and restocks as needed. New crew members are often deployed from the Fleet to travel and join these vessels as needed.

In recent years, Conscription has been employed by the Pioneers. Under Conscription, Icarue Imperium Fleet commands are entitled to order the recruitment of any individuals, providing whatever training and resources desired. Often Conscription is provided with a detailed Lapse Clause. Once the requirements of the Lapse Clause is met, such as a certain period of employment, completion of a specific set of objectives, or an assigned debt is paid off.

A Quick Guide to this West Marches.

Based on the Mothership System, it is encouraged that you as players create characters with other players you would like to frequently play with. These will form your Crew. Generally speaking, it is encouraged that you begin as a member of the Icarue Imperium. In universe, this provides you with a spacecraft, a way to acquire operations (aka quests) and a reason to work together.

Don't worry, even if your character does not agree with the Icarue Imperium, they could still have been recruited under Conscription. This can also benefit you as an easy motivation: To fulfill your Lapse Clause and be free.

While primarily Marines, vessels often have a variety of teamsters, scientists and the occassional couple of androids onboard too. This allows the crew to operate effectively, but also to complete missions varying from acquisitions, SOS, support, elimination and more.
