With the destruction of Atka and the subsequent shortage in stabiline supply, there has been an increased demand for cardamine to sustain the lives of those dependent on the susbstance. Cryer's main market in particular, Liberty, has taken by far the biggest hit from this unfortunate chain of events, coupled with the local cardamine dealers still struggling with shortages from the previous failed attempt to flood the market, great opportunities seem to lay ahead the Orange Road.
The Outcast cartels in turn haven't totally fallen from grace after the slave revolt, in recent years working tirelessly to replace some of the slave labour with improved practices by automatic machines. Now, with cardamine supplies rolling, the Dons have decidedly made an agreement to also tap in the stockpiled reserves and flood the markets once again aiming for, at the minimum, a return to the previous distribution status quo; only this time the planned convoys will be escorted en masse by Malta's best pilots.
The Convoy was scheduled to pass through Leeds then into Magellan then Liberty. The Bretonian Intelligence Service have picked on the information and together with the Armed Forces decided to set on an intercept and destroy course. But Leeds is no longer the safe system it used to be, other unlawful elements might take on the opportunity to scrape away at the Crown's mighty fleets.
If the Outcasts manage to outmaneuver this hurdle, the real challenge lay ahead. Although still rebuilding from past conflicts, Liberty has seen unprecedented renewal, with the Navy's flourishing armada ever present on patrols. To counter this, the Maltese have contacted the usual suspects to come to their aid. Aroused by the smell of profits but also to stockpile their own supplies, the Lane Hackers are expected to join the convoy in Magellan while the Rogues are due to make an appearance in California.
Details
The convoy will consist of 2 barges in addition to any other transport ships that are willing to join in. The Convoy will be escorted in its entirety by an Outcast fleet.
The convoy will set course on the following route: Starting at Cali base in Tau-23 > Tau-31 > Leeds > Magellan > ending with California's Alcatraz.
The convoy on its route will take part in 2 large engagements:
First engagement will take place in Leeds south of where Stokes used to be. Outcasts engage with Lawfuls first, Mollys join the fray soon after.
If the convoy survives, it will continue ahead towards Magellan where the Lane Hackers will join in with the escorts.
The second engagement will take place in California just north of Planet California minor. Outcasts engage with Lawfuls first while Rogues carry out a surprise attack from the rear.
Roster - Sign up Only factions mentioned in the engagements are allowed to sign:
18:00 UTC The main Outcast forces rendezvous at Leeds JG in Tau-31. (*)Dont think its necessary to start at Cali base as it would eat a lot of time.
~ 18:15 UTC Leeds Engagement.
~ 19:30- 20:00 UTC California Engagement.
Rules
Only signed participants can partake in the event.
Standard PvP dead timer: if you're killed you're out.
Don't engage the barges until the last Outcast cap is dead.
The convoy is allowed to repair after the first fight.
Rewards Lawful side - you get to blow 2 barges full of cardamine that can be sold at Halifax/Fontana.
Convoy - split the credits if we succeed. (*) the cardamine for the barges will be on me so not to worry
Notes
If there is a God-forsaken soul with a barge that would like to take on the job he will be my hero, otherwise I have a VERY reluctant backup.
Haven't included the Dread class but if there are participants willing to play I'm up to open slots. Depending on how popular this will be more slots might be opened for the other ship types too.
I've tried to balance the ship roster best to my knowledge, keep in mind Sarissa is a light bs compared to the others and the molly/rogue reinforcements are not present at the beginning for the convoy. Feel free question it with arguments and it can be changed as well.
Would it be possible to add Sairs for the Leeds part?
I've tried to balance the sides, adding a 3rd party that could shoot who they wish on either side could and will tilt it too much as it usually happens unfortunately. Feel free to sign on the available factions if you wish.

If more people show interest in dreads sure, meanwhile I'll add you as Molly reserve until its clear.
