The Astral was a place full of mystery, but many brave Astral
navigators, League and Empire alike, decided to face the mysterious
astral in order to unravel their treasures. Astral battles were often
carried between the League and Empire crews, adding an extra danger to
those not experienced in the precise art of navigation.
Now the word in Yasker's Tower's hallways is that Aidenus' best crews
are on the way to attack the Silicon sector! Stories say that after a
long, but successful journey from the furthest and most dangerous
Allods, a tired Emperical Astral crew spotted the sails of a Gibberling
ship. Could it be some lost League travellers straying into the Silicon
sector, or would it be something altogether more worrying for the
Empire? Surely, not even a Gibberling would fall asleep on its ship, and
drift into the Empire's territory. Yasker, being a cautious man, and
not wanting to send a full fleet to the sector, gathered his best crews
and asked his most trusted commandants to eliminate the threat of this
League ship in his sector as quickly as possible.
The commanders reached out to the best Astral navigators of the Empire,
from all over Sarnaut, to gather the most impressive fleet available to
confront any who may be bold enough to think of taking on the Empire.
And what of Aidenus? Was he really behind this seemingly innocent ship,
or was it for a greater design? Nevertheless, in spite of the mystery
surrounding the League's intentions, the Empire won't sit still and wait
for the League to move.
So, what does this mean for League and Empire players? The Empire's
fleets will have to protect the motherland and defend the pride of the
Empire, at all costs, during the 60 minutes the League are given in the
Silicon sector.
The League crews will need to come to this sector and destroy, also at all costs, the main imperial battleship for Aidenus!
This will be the procedure of the event.
- The Imperial Battleship, which will be handled by a GM, will be the
target of this event, and will be navigating through the Silicon Sector
(Empire). League players will need to get rid of the Empire’s shields
and destroy this ship.
- This event will last for 60 minutes.
- If the League destroy the ship, the League wins.
- If the Empire succeed in keeping the ship in one piece during the 60
minutes, or annihilate the League’s ships whatever the state of the
Empire’s crews, the Empire wins.
- Even though the imperial Battleship is the target, it won’t stay
still or and will be protecting itself. League players, be careful of
what to expect, Game Masters will be handling this ship with their crew
after all...
- We will need 5 volunteers to help the GM to manoeuvre and annihilate
the League’s ships, or League players if they are bold enough to step a
foot on the GM's ship. Keep in mind you may die in your service for
Yasker, so prepare your Phylacteries and kiss your wives (or husbands)
goodbye before joining us!
- If cameramen or reporters are interested in capturing this epic
battle, please report to the GM’s by private message on the Guild
Portal. We will make sure to keep you a warm seat on the GM's ship,
although we can’t assure your survival!

all.
- If any unrecognised Astral ships, aka those unknown to the list made
under the Port Authority, take part in one way or another in the Astral
battle, they will be asked to pull away. If they do not comply with the
GM's orders they will be destroyed instantly, with no possibility of
repairs from the Port Authority. No Pirates Allowed!
Yasker and Aidenus would like to offer rewards to the braves sailors and
Astral fighters, fighting for the pride of the motherland!
This is what await the ships of the losing faction. The rewards will be
given to the Captain of the ship who will distribute these items to his
crew:
- Hardware for ship repairs, will be given the Ship’s captain.
And for the winning faction's ships that are left in one piece:
- 60 Acid Flasks
