I'll take a shot at it.

Disease on Perth

Handling all of the Gaian Wildlife on Perth Station, Edinburgh, eventually leads to complications- disease, parasites, and all those problems. The crew of the Perth has begun falling ill to bizarre, alien diseases. They have desperately began importing medicine from all over Sirius in attempts to find a cure. Meanwhile, Cold Bay station will no longer take these sickly animals. But Cambride Research Station is intrigued by this development, and will pay rather nicely to get their hands on these biological anomalies. Biological Weapons might be what Bretonia needs to win the war. The Gaians still have deep-seated objections to this misuse of animals and would rather see the sickly things euthanized than used for experiments.

1) The names of all bases where different prices are temporarily desired. Match commodity names to those bases. (Keep these as short as possible to create the event. Changing 10 commodities at 30 bases is a huge amount of work). Make sure to indicate whether prices should go up or down if that is not obvious (most likely they'll go up). List commodities and bases in order of importance from most important to least important.

Cold Bay, Hudson- Gaian Wildlife, down.
Cambridge Research Station, Cambride- Wildlife, up
Perth, Edinburgh, Pharmaseuticals, up

2) Factions that would be involved in promoting the event.

Planetform, BAF, BPA on the lawful end


3) Factions that could be involved in hostility towards the event (they want to interfere with the event and interdict the trading/smuggling).

Gaians oppose. The other factions see it as an opportunity to win the war

4) Links to any relevant forum stories, threads, or background. Provide post numbers if the link refers to a post instead of the entire thread.

None

5) List the participants and promoters of the event : player factions, or individual players not related to involved factions

This is a normal trade route fluctuation, so indie traders, and faction traders could be involved

6) Provide a brief summary of how you intend to promote the event on the forums, and on the server. Include the server-side activities that will support the event. In other words, how will people find out about the event, and what will cause them to want to participate (apart from profits).

I, being a member of the (currently) unofficial Planetform| corporation, will organize convoys inside our corporation, doing this trade route in an open and flamboyant manner, attracting not only Planetform indie traders, but also attract unlawful attention to the route, which will then trigger the BPA and BAF to react.

7) Explain how the event will support current or planned roleplaying of the factions or individuals involved in the event. What mod, factional, or individual storylines are affected?

It's been widely shown that Gaian Wildlife are desired for terraforming, so they've been exported in gross, large amounts. This is sure to lead to error. Which leads to disease outbreak. With a major pharmaceutical output nearby, it all makes sense that Bretonia would look to save it's major terraforming outpost. And the Gaians oppose this, of course. This would increase inter-Bretonian trading, which we all know, it needs. Right now, Bretonia is either a stop, or a shortcut.
