Baryon Ops Printable version

Baryon Ops​

"Gentlemen, thank you for coming today. On behalf of the Commonwealth, I ask for your assistance in dealing with the rebels that have sprouted up across our territories, convinced our personnel to defect, and seized our assets. Talks with rebel sympathizers on the Council have broken down, as they will accept nothing short of complete economic and martial independence, threatening violence upon loyalist strongholds in the Silbern System and the Outer Planets. In particular danger are the antimatter production and research facilities on Titan, along with the logistical network that supplies it. I'm sure you can imagine the catastrophe if they all fall into unpredictable hands." --- Admiral Vencencio, Berlin Arcology

Operation: Black Baryon is a multi-theatre military campaign spanning two star systems, aiming to liberate strategic GDW infrastructure from rebel hands. The One Month War destabilized the Commonwealth, kickstarting rebel uprisings on spaceborn colonies. As the superstate grapples with the long journey towards restoration of internal peace, a violent, precise first strike is necessary to secure its most important military assets.

Plot Style and Expectations

Baryon Ops will be split into three smaller arcs, all happening simultaneously in the setting's timeline, thus three separate groups of characters. These will all be military operations. Posts will occur on the forum on a weekly basis minimum. Player enthusiasm permitting, civilian perspectives can also be explored in an episodic manner.

Neptunian Theatre

Join the GDW 4th Neptunian Fleet and the SSM 3rd Neptunian Swarm as they secure the gas collectors in low orbit of Neptune and the refineries on Triton. Beware of the Neptunian Assembly, a neutral tech-cult obsessed with cryo-technology, disturbed by the increasing violence in the system.

Saturnian Theatre

Join the GDW 3rd Saturnian Fleet, the SSM 3rd Saturnian Swarm, and the AU 4th Saturnian Fleet to clear out Titan orbit-space of rebels. If successful, present ships can be refitted with antimatter technology to clear out any rebels that dare to approach.

Silbernian Theatre

The most arduous campaign of the three. Join the GDW 2nd Silbernian Fleet and the AU 1st Silbernian Fleet to slip into the star system and secure the Daimler Gate, Magnuski Station, capital of the system, and Otto Shipyard. Expect heavy rebel resistance and commandeered, high-end GDW corvettes.
