Hi everyone and welcome to my first forum battle! I sincerely hope you will enjoy it and that you will make good use of this battlefield.

Location: Planet Noxar (Fleurdelys System)
Sector IV: Noxar capital
Noxarian Station Omega II.
Status: Maximum security. President is on site.

NoxSec troops (Noxarian Security) are deployed all around the stage to ensure the safety of the President. To attend to the speech, the public had to go through a security checkpoint where some items were confiscated.
Image

The event has not failed to attract protesters. The presence of a riot squad prevent them from disturbing the speech.
Image

The frigate used to carry the President and his advisors is on the roof of the building while the cruiser NSS-Conqueror is patrolling over the area.
Image

The strong military deployed in the area is not only due to the presence of the President but also to the fact that an object of great value is currently in the building: The strange artifact recovered during an expedition on planet Akurr. Although its use and real power remain a mystery, its high content of ORANGE TRANSPARENT ORE leaves no doubt about its potential power. The artefact is kept here until the Noxarian autorities agree on what they will do with it.
Image

The artifact is guarded by one of the most decorated men of the Order of the Equinox, Agent Matt Artin. He is leading a squad of Troopers deployed inside the building.
Image

A group of Raiders was informed of the presence of the artifact and want to steal it.
Image

The Space Pirates are also on their way with a small fleet. Secretly sponsored by a corrupted advisor, they come to assassinate the President.
Image

By an interesting coincidence, a group of Savages is also in the area with their newest war machine.

Stats for all units and some additional information about the battlefield can be found in this thread


Avalaible factions and objectives (in order of play, decided by the mighty dices):

1- Rioters:heavyfishcannon
- Disrupt the speech
- Get the crowd to join the riot
- Occupy the building
* The crowd is under propaganda effect for as long as the towers are broadcasting. The Rioters need to take over the console behind the stage or knock down both propaganda towers if they want to get the crowd attention.

2- Noxarian Raiders:Alex
- Steal the artifact
- Secret objective (1)

3- Space Pirates: Silverdream
- Kill the President
- Do not kill the corrupted advisor
- Secret objective (1)

4- Order of the Equinox / NoxSec mgb519
- Keep the scene area cleared long enough for the president to complete his speech (6 turns required).
- Protect the artifact and the President by securing the area.
* The President can be evacuated with the presidential frigate if things gets too dangerous.

5- Savages:Silent-sigfig
- Gather as much heads as possible

THIS IS NOT SIGN-UP.
Seriously, what happens if two people ask for the same faction in the same minute on the separate threads?

Yeah, I found out about a minute after I posted it. Now it looks like I spammed the threads.

Oh I see what I did there.

"Signup" in the top thread was only meant to indicate the status. This should be better now.
Thank you for pointing that out.

Is Order of E. and NoxSec the same? Or can two people have them. If they can, I'll take OoE.

Sorry Ross.. Savages were claimed by Silent-sigfig a few minutes before you in the top thread (sorry about the signup confusion :?) but you can have priority to get the first secret faction that might show up if you want.

I decided not to split the Order of the Equinox and NoxSec troops so yes, it is a single faction.

Bonus/Secret objectives were given to the appropriate players. You can now send your orders for turn 1.
