Here's something that may spruce up the Omegas and beyond with a new smuggling commodity. The Coalition has always role-played it's own line of weapons such as assault rifles and the like, with very few things being traded within Omega-52 at the moment aside from Vodka it would be nice to have more options for folks rather than 'Vodka or leave'.
In any case I'm interested to hear the team's opinions and even the opinions of some of my fellow members. Thank you and try to be constructive rather than destructive.
Name: Volgograd Light Arms Infocard: As the Coalition waged it's war throughout Sirius they realized that employing House-crafted armaments was not sustainable in the long-run. Engineers working under the Coalition's command designed and tested a variety of prototypes until they settled on a selection of weaponry that was found to be easy to manufacture and highly reliable. However the weapons were found to be heavier than House-made arms such as Detroit Munition's. Still there are those in the Black Market who seek to cater to revolutionary and terrorist movements across Sirius found these Coalition weapons to be popular amongst both groups.
Sold at:
- Omega-52, Mykolaiv Research Station,
Possible trade routes:
- Baffin - Shasta Orbital Skyhook [ Justification: Moderate-Ranged Route, some risk due to passing through Bretonian/Gallic controlled systems or even skirting Libertonian Territory not to mention those who use the Coronado corridor to pirate/smuggle in/near Liberty ]
- Dresden, Vogtland Base [justification: The Red Hessians are the Coalition's closer allies and would see these as useful in their efforts to overthrow the Federal Republic, the short route is not without it's dangers with Corsairs and even the Rheinlandic Lawfuls seeking to choke the trade of these weaponry and thus weaken their foes. ]
- New Berlin, Kaiserslautern Depot [ Justification: Similar to above the LWB wouldn't turn down another source of weaponry if they find themselves unable to 'liberate' a shipment, being in the heart of the Rheinland Federal Republic poses several risks from both Law Enforcement and perhaps even the Unioners who are attempting to cozy up with the Corsairs according to Lore.]
- Sigma-13, Newport Station [Justification: Eventually these weapons may find their way to 'other' hands, Freelance traders seeking to find new markets may try to sell them to various pirates, mercenaries and even Paramilitary forces in order to earn some Credits. Both the Corsairs and the Outcasts in the system wouldn't look kindly upon those hauling such weaponry due to them both despising the Coalition due to the trouble the small nation has caused them both.]
There may be others who would be interested in acquiring these Light Arms, perhaps the Zoners or Mollys, however that would be up to future RP and development.
