| | + | *Expert 1 |

| | + | *Background: Noble |
| | + | *Training: Signal Officer |
| | + | *Bio: Ofeig would have been a footnote in his family line except for his terrible tenacity. Part of a petty squabble, he was targeted for an assassination at a young age. Defying the odds, he survived the attempt despite his terrible injury to a muscle degenerating poison which requires braces outside his suit mech. He's taken to diplomacy as a means to make up for his physical shortcomings. |
| | + | *Description: A small blond man whose musculature is not symmetrical, he walks with some difficulty but moves quickly. Even with the cane he sometimes needs and the braces under his clothing, he carries himself confidently. |

| − | *Bio: Leif has spent his short career as a communications officer in the merchant marine. Because of the fraught clan politics of shipping in orbit, this job is part unofficial diplomatic liaison (to jockey with other captains for docking priority and flight lanes), part business negotiator (to communicate directly with suppliers or buyers), but mostly computer-systems spy (peeling as much information as possible from ships from other clans). And so Leif's professional skills have developed along those lines. | + | *Bio: As a rare Edenite MESs, Remar was sent off to the Psychic Academy in Capital City once his powers began manifesting, and mercifully before he used them to hurt himself. He is of noble blood, but is somewhat detached from all that, having grown up away from his clan's estate. On a rare trip home, his clan informed him of his new assignment as the astrogator of a raiding starship. |
| − | *Description: A long droopy moustache that extends past his chin, but otherwise his head is hairless. His slight frame is a result of the years he's spent away from the gravity on New Eden's surface, training and then working in space. | + | *Description: Short dark hair, sunken eyes, pale complexion, clammy hands. He listens to a wide variety of "viking music", and spends most of his time observing social interactions, rather than participating in them. It's for the best. |

| |
| − | *Bio: The Jotunn are pressed by larger clans quite often, even in space, trying to dislodge their toehold on resource gathering. Hilde is one of the proud few orbital warriors who takes on challenges when diplomacy and horse-trading has failed, deploying in shuttles and mecha for the small-scale combat that is the way noble disputes are settled. She's been serving that way since she was an apprentice warrior at 16. She's far less blood and thunder than most nobles. The environment alone can kill you in a dozen ways in space, so she's far more thoughtful and quiet than the typical viking on the vids. Not that the Spear of Tyr gets on the vids much. She's as patriotic and brave as any warrior but is more thoughtful in battle and in peace, often studying something or other.

| − | === Orbital I === | + | === Planet === |
| − | Terrestrial Planet. Atmosphere looks breathable, gravity within human-tolerable norms. Very little liquid water, somewhat hot. This close to the sun, it might be bombarded with enough radiation that you wouldn't want to live out in the open.
| |
| | | | |
| − | === Orbital II === | + | === Planet === |
| − | Gas Giant: A small ball of what looks to be water in the core. It has some rocky moons, so a fair amount of the water is actually liquid. Lots of methane and nitrogen. Not particularly pleasant as a place to land.
| |
| | | | |
| − | === Orbital III === | + | === Planet === |
| − | Terrestrial Planet: Another world quite similar to the first in size and atmosphere, but darker and colder.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Orbital IV ===
| |
| − | Asteroid Belt: There's an asteroid field. Lots of heavy elements; you'd say it's a shattered planet rather than an accretion of mere dust and ice.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Orbital V ===
| |
| − | Terrestrial Planet: Earthlike in size, gravity, atmospheric composition, and water distribution. However, it's stony rather than possessing meaningful soil, and extremely dark and cold this far out. It has only a few tiny moons, but there is an orbiting space station, whose signature you have picked up.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Dirty Mike's Dead End Deli ===
| |
| − | You can detect the radio beacon of the system's trading post. It's a simple repeating signal, using slower-than-light broadcasting and including coordinates, not that it would be difficult for any reasonably-equipped ship to spot the source. It's orbiting a cold and rocky world, which itself orbits a dim red dwarf.

| |
| − | The Kanadan Corporate Confederacy sits mostly on a warm planet called New Gaia, although they've developed the system fairly thoroughly. They have a two-tiered society. It's essentially medieval outside the domed cities, but not too bad if you like renaissance festivals. Inside it's a corporatocracy. They're very much in favor of trade, but they'll cheat you and eat you up with fees and surcharges, too. But. They make some of the best light vehicles you've ever seen."

| − | The Verge is a fine place to do business, but do not fuck around. The population is divided into humans and what they call goons. Goons are a sort of replicant human, grown in tanks. There's a lot of them. A human can kill any goon by looking at them wrong or snapping their fingers or the like, so the goons know their place. Plus they're pretty heavily indoctrinated. You probably can't tell the difference between a human and a goon too easily, but the natives can.

| |
| − | Mechs have halved movement rates, but I think you're miscalculating how far that comes out to.
| |
| − | A shock suit has Speed 4. You multiply that by 10 meters to figure out their normal combat move, which is 40. Compare that to the [I]20[/I] that an un-enmeched* infantry moves. So, we divide your 40 meters in two to get 20 meters. Hexes are two meters. So you can move 10 hexes. 20 if you give up your action, or have the Melee skill to charge and choose to do so. Normal characters move 5 hexes, or 10 if they run or charge.
| |
| − | So! Shock and Psi suits move up to 10 hexes. Specialist suits move up to 15.

| − | *Area effect weapons are lethal against mobs. | + | *[U]Example:[/U] Lester is piloting his mech suit, the Unlikely, which is equipped with a suit-scale laser weapon. He fires it upon a small mob of rabble with 12HD and AC7. He hits with a 13. His damage, due to an excellent Intelligence score, is 3d8+2. He rolls 1, 5, 8. He decides to apply his damage bonus to the last die. The 1 deals 0HD, the 5 deals 1HD, and the (modified) 10 deals 4HD. This totals 5HD of damage. He has now reduced the mob to 7/12 HD, and his weapon is in cooldown. They pelt him with grenades and attacks from laser-pistols, to which the Unlikely is functionally invulnerable. Because his mech's laser is in Cooldown, he wades in with his monoblade side-arm to continue his bloody work. He now charges into melee. On a successful hit, he deals 2d6+[B]4[/B] (two from his suit's strength, and two from charging), rolling a 2 and a 6. He increases the 6 to a 10, and deals a total of (1+4=)5 HD again. The Unlikely slays men to the left and the right, cutting them down effortlessly. The mob now has only 2/12HD left, and will most likely be destroyed utterly in the next round. Actually I'd probably have rolled Morale for them before this, even, but them's the breaks. |

| |
| − | | |
| − | == Hacking ==
| |
| − | Complexes or large ships typically have a network of computing systems called Data Nodes. Each node is a component of a greater whole, carrying some portion of the system's permissions and capacity. If you're an authorized user you can do all manner of things remotely, but if you're an interloper you have to pry the system open one node at a time. If you're working with just a dataslab, hacking a node takes 2d4 rounds. If you have actual hacking gear, whether a neural interface and deck or a hacking module built into your mech, then things are easier. In that case, it takes your move to jack into an adjacent node, and your action to attempt to hack it. Rules follow.
| |
| − | *The initial hacking attempt is always a Computer roll.
| |
| − | *The difficulty of the computer roll is dependent on the system, and typically will not vary through a system.
| |
| − | **Essentially unsecured consumer-grade systems are Diff 6. We typically won't roll for them.
| |
| − | **Marginally secure consumer or small business systems are Diff 7.
| |
| − | **Systems that someone has made any real effort to secure are Diff 8. This includes most corporate systems, or military systems that in fact rely on physical security rather than electronic.
| |
| − | **Medium corporate or military security systems, or those run by serious hacker types, are Diff 9. There may also be countermeasures.
| |
| − | **High security systems are Diff 10. Expect failures on your rolls to carry potentially serious consequences.
| |
| − | *Success brings rewards!
| |
| − | **A simple success gives you control of that node. See below for benefits.
| |
| − | **A failure "locks" the node, it cannot be attempted again until circumstances change substantially.
| |
| − | **An exceptional success (You roll at least three points higher than the difficulty, for example a 10 or better on a Diff 7 system) brings further benefits. Roll 1d6.
| |
| − | ***1: You can immediately (on your next round) attempt to hack a nearby node without having to move adjacent to it. You gain knowledge of the location of that node whether you successfully hack it or not.
| |
| − | ***2: You gain a useful piece of information.
| |
| − | ***3: You gain a financially valuable piece of information.
| |
| − | ***4: You learn the location of 1d3+1 other undiscovered data nodes in the complex.
| |
| − | ***5: You can immediately make some alteration to a device related to this data node. For example, if you hacked a node in the life support system, you could attempt to make it highly uncomfortably hot or cold. Safety interlocks will typically prevent you from doing anything immediately lethal.
| |
| − | ***6: You can brain-burn an enemy hacker in the system for damage equal to 1d4 for each even level you have obtained. They may make a tech save to halve that damage. In either case, they'll be stunned and unable to hack for 1d6 rounds.
| |
| − | *The types of things you can attempt to do vary by the total number of nodes you control.
| |
| − | **Once you gain at least 25% of the nodes in a complex, you can attempt to make slightly advantageous changes using the node you are present at. So, changing the temperature from a life support node or opening or closing doors from a security node. | |
| − | **Once you gain at least 50% of the nodes in a complex, you can attempt to make substantial changes using any node you have control of, from any other node. | |
| − | **Once you gain at least 75% of the nodes in a complex, you can attempt to do make any change from any node you have control of.
| |
| − | **If you should gain 100% of the nodes, you no longer need to make rolls. The system is under your control.
| |
| − | *Enemy hackers are single, heroic troops rather than mobs.

| − | '''Overview'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * While New Eden may be a world in a greenhouse state, the poles are still an uninviting climate. Our clan comes from the small continent at the south pole, which is undergoing collisions and rifting at the same time. While it is mineral-rich, it is unable to support a great population; this limits the clan's ability to exploit its land. It does make it a logical place to build spaceships, which might be the only reason our poor clan is partaking in the new space race at all.
| |

| |
| − | * "I do like the idea of a poorer Clan. The backward agricultural landowners who are looking to get out from under their economic fate. So in a way we're Space Vikings, giving us even more reason to get out there and explore. Also, horned helmets." -- Heavy Josh
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * "I like the arctic thing. Even more than the cold, though, I like the idea of being a poor, formerly somewhat backwoods clan trying to vault ahead in the space race." -- Nicias
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Decisions are often made at huge meetings in the Clan-Hall, Bjorgfell, with a great deal of shouting. [[https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?785484-SWN-The-High-and-the-Mighty&p=20244069#post20244069]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * More delicate situations are often entrusted to select committees of elders. [[https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?785484-SWN-The-High-and-the-Mighty&p=20412206#post20412206]]

| |
| − | * The PCs are all from the same Clan, but aren't necessarily from the same nuclear family. "Cousin" is a highly generic term under these circumstances and is almost always appropriate unless one party is the direct lineal descendant of another. Your great-aunt twice removed is still "cousin." Calling your grandfather "cousin" is a serious mistake. Calling your brother or sister "cousin" may be a calculated distancing technique.

| |
| − | * "The way it works in practice is that your family/clan/something owns the salvage, but you get credit for bringing it back. Internal to the clan, you're on a kind of reputation/gift economy. You only use money and trade outside the clan. The peasants, like the captain, would get outright cash consideration. The way this works varies by clan. It might be easiest to think of this like some of those highly extended old-school asian families, where some matriarch with a mind like an abacus is always totaling up who's in favor, who's out of favor, who needs help and who isn't pulling their own weight, et cetera. So you guys aren't going to end up with some giant buried pod you have to figure out what to do with, but you're going to get consideration somewhere down the road that you wouldn't get otherwise."

| − | '''Clan Strengths:'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Our peasants have access to good medicine and education and are paid relatively well.
| |
| − | * We have particularly strong ties to the interstellar spy agency of New Eden.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Clan Flaws:'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *The class system is more rigidly enforced than the already-rigid structures in place elsewhere on New Eden, with churls placed above villeins placed above peons. Guest workers from other Estates are at the lowest rung.
| |
| − | *Over the past few generations our Clan fared really miserably in duels and in front of the Magistrate, leaving other Clans quick to try and muscle their way past us on minor matters. Every new generation seeks to restore our Clan's honor.
| |

| |
| − | '''Notable Personalities:'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Torgrimson is our "uncle," not literally an uncle but a family member who is our boss and patron and thus not properly referred to as "cousin." He's the type who argues for our project at clan meetings. He has a heavy cyborg fist that is fifty years out of fashion.

| − |
| |
| − | * Helvig is a wise and powerful clan elder who is heavily invested in ice mining operations further out-system. He was initially a prominent skeptic of our spike-drive project but came around (to a degree) after we helped investigate a problem at one of his outposts that turned out to be the Chittik menace.

| − | * Really serious issues get resolved by diplomacy or the Senate. If the issue is of real importance to the individual clans and it just can't be worked out via normal means, it goes to the Royal Court, which is literally run by an AI, The Magistrate. The Magistrate has some thoroughly scary powers and will make a ruling that serves the interests of justice. Most Clans don't really want to interact with the Magistrate. Problems that are basically bullshit, like something that isn't meaningful in real terms but nobody can back down without saving face, or there are mixed feelings about it within the Clan itself, might be resolved via duels. Duels are where champions in mechs go out and fight each other. [[https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?784701-Sorta-Recruitment-Stars-Without-Number-The-High-amp-the-Mighty&p=20217436#post20217436]]

| − | *Gladitorial fighting is ''in'' on some parts of New Eden, but forcibly drafting teens into it would be too far for most nobles. Convicted felons on the other hand might just work.
