- [Roleplay] General von Willmont\'s personall report: Tranch - Written by: Manesni Date: Friday 04.06.2010
Personal Report, General Viktor Alexander von Willmont.
well, where to start, I suppose it might be a good idea to start keeping notes and reports of my activities so that
I can read back and think about my actions in the past at some later time in the future, and who knows... perhaps some future descendant of the von Willmont will
need these reports to see what my line has been doing in the past and who owes us.
Its been a pretty interesting start of my new career as a rogue trader, very unlike my previous experience as a General in the Imperial Guard, but I must say the combined command of fleet and guard assets is to my liking.
our journey to the Kormisoshi dockyards was rather uneventfull, although we did make a small stop at Tranch I was not yet aware of the situation on the planet and wasn\\\'t expecting to head back there in force shortly afterwards....
it would seem that our real work started as soon as we arrived at the dockyards, Colonel Monforte and myself had to deal with an excessive amount of paperwork before we could get things underway,
in addition we had to recruit a new command crew, and deal with remnants of the old command crew in the form of Seneschal Braxton Bragg, his loyalty and ability is still something I am not entirely sure about....
most of the command crew members I was looking for were available at the dockyards so it didn\\\'t take long for us to find and recruit the types I as looking for...
we have
Praetor Vos Postulo, A rather quiet navigator who occasionally shows brilliant insights into developing situations and who i\\\'ve been told is a genius when it comes to surveying, both planetary and in space.
Tiberius Valerius Secundus, a so called Astropath Transcendant...... he has shown he\\\'s capable as an astropath and potentially a good source of information and spying..... but he remains a psyker so he must be watched at all times.
Martellus Tezzeret, a brilliant all be it absent minded member of the cult mechanicus, easily distracted but when you can keep him focussed on the task at hand I\\\'m pretty sure he can turn a pile of scrap into a battle titan.
and of course...
Braxton Bragg..... who i\\\'ve mentioned previously.
after having recruited my bridge crew I found out that leaving would turn out to be problematic as some traiterous noble family on tranch decided it would be a good idea to stop the supply of fuel to the dockyards, meaning we couldn\\\'t really refuel.
after negotiating with a certain Pell Alaricus, leader of the house that normally supplies the fuel and the commander of the dockyards it was decided that my ship, the Telum Volponus would receive enough fuel to fly us to Tranch where
we would resolve the situation one way or another. inviting Lord alaricus aboard my ship after a failed assassination attempt on his life we departed the dockyard and headed for Tranch once more.
after arriving in the tranch system we encountered some space pirates chasing another ship, which it turns out was piloted by ex imperial navy ace pilot Elizabeth Hartmann.
shooting down the pirates following her and allowing her to land her ship in one of our docking bays we later recruited her as one of my new command crew. A decision I am now glad I made because she played a decisive role later on.
arriving in orbit of tranch it turns out that the situation might be a bit more complicated than we thought, inviting the head of the rival noble house onto our ship as well we negotiated and discussed the situation with both sides.
while our auspex scanned the surface of tranch to see what the situation was like.
it turns out that both noble houses were blockading the other houses primary production facility essentially deadlocking the entire system of trade on the planet.
hearing that there was another rogue trader by the name of Adoa who was selling arms and equipment to both sides of the conflict I decided it was time to confront both leaders and see if I could create a united front against this potential rival or Enemy.
Unfortunatly it would seem this so called \\\"Lady Adoa\\\" had brainwashed both leaders into unquestioning loyalty and they refused to see the facts presented to them, it would seem the only option open to me was to deal with one of the noble houses and move on.
In the mean time we\\\'ll have to keep an eye out for this Adoa, and if possible bring her down.... brainwashing noble houses does not sit well with me and I wonder if it could be considered heresy.
It didn\\\'t take us long to figure out that the easiest way to get the fuel flowing again and making a tidy profit in the mean time was by supporting house Pascal in a bold takeover of the entire world, discussing a plan with my second in command
Colonel monforte it was decided to send a small strike team to the planet and have them use laser designators to call down airstrikes on the troops stationed around his factories so that his own forces would be free to capture any remaining Alaricus facilities.
after having made my decision and letting lord Alaricus leave my ship, telling him I would contact him shortly to make final preparations we proceeded with stage one of the plan, the Shuttle which was supposed to be carrying Alaricus never made it back to the planet.
in what appears to have been an accident all the passengers onboard including the pilot were killed..... as for lord Alaricus himself.... well, he never made it to the shuttle and remains in one of our cells.
The only people who are aware of this fact are Colonel Monforte, myself and the small group of troopers who kidnapped him on the way to his shuttle. what we do to him remains to be seen, but he may prove a usefull source of information on Lady Adoa.
having dealt with that particular lose end we moved on to stage two, after a quick recon sweep of the target facility and a covert raid on the house alaricus astropathic facilities by mr Secundus we aquired intell which pointed out that there were actually two Adoa\\\'s.
in addition, Colonel Monforte managed to steal a leman russ tank and returned a few hours later to remove any remaining hostile forces, destroying them with the aid of Elizabeth Hartmann and her bomber wing. Having dealt with all hostiles in the area
I ordered our Explorator Martellus planetside to see if anything of use could be salvaged, at this moment I still await his report on the matter.
Now that essentially the entire planet is under house Pascal control, or at least will be under house Pascal control our work here is done, I am not entirely sure what our next steps will be for now, but I believe we will head back to the kormasoshi dockyards
and check up on a astropathic message we have received and follow this up by taking a short trip to these \\\"lathe planets\\\" I have heard about.... it would seem they are the most important forge worlds in this sector and hopefully they can provide us with
some extra arms, armour and other equipment as well as troop training facilities for our first trip into the koronus expanse.
General Viktor Alexander von Willmont, first Rogue Trader of the von Willmont line, Count of Normandius, and heir apparent to the House von Willmont
