Mass Effect Factions: Undercurrent [OOC|Closed]

[Ralnis]

Anyone want to try and have relations with the Batarians?

[G-Tech Corporation]

Anyone want to try and have relations with the Batarians?

Tbf, it is basically the Batarian's idea to be in isolation anyway. You'll probably have to reopen those channels yourselves.

[Versail]

Anyone want to try and have relations with the Batarians?

Get rid of the slavery and maybe.

[Ralnis]

Anyone want to try and have relations with the Batarians?

Get rid of the slavery and maybe.

So you're saying a Batarain civil war?

[Revlona]

I officially sent stuff to the council this time

[Revlona]

Get rid of the slavery and maybe.

So you're saying a Batarain civil war?

oooh fun

[Versail]

So you're saying a Batarain civil war?

If that's what's needed and you want relations with the ABCF than yeah.

So you're saying a Batarain civil war?

oooh fun

And did you get my TG?

[Ralnis]

oooh fun

And did you get my TG?

I'll take galaxy's largest Vorcha migration and galactic slave trade than having relations with a minor faction at the expense of my government.

uhhh

Lemme check

Edit: I don't see one

Oh I see you're not the GSA.
Had a brain fart so that was my mistake sorry.

[Segmentia]

Oh no, the human factions are plotting.

[Ralnis]

Oh no, the human factions are plotting.

I should really just bow to their might.

[Versail]

Oh no, the human factions are plotting.

Nah they haven't responded to my question of "hey do you do things in my area of the traverse?"
Edit: Though the GSA guy was last online 10 days ago so that's prolly a factor.

[Prusslandia]

Oh no, the human factions are plotting.

The Asari should become friends with Okeer. He’s civilized! He went to university!

[Nuxipal]

Oh no, the human factions are plotting.

I mean, idk about the Republics, but Illium is always open for civilized business. I for one could find a use for Krogan soldiers.

If only they liked Batarian slaver money.

I'm sure there are some Batarians somewhere on Illium. Not enough to fill out any major positions, but security work is still work.

Oh yeah, they should be around in major numbers. Their language is the standard for trade in the Terminus and I would expect that they would have some corporations in Illium. This might come from the fact that they have an economy that's able to compete with the Alliance and other Council races unlike in canon.

Illium, in the canon, collects loads of credits primarily because it straddles the lines between Asari Space and Terminus Systems. Its lax regulations are what permit it to grow quickly and why its known for its wealth in most parts of the galaxy. The faction itself doesn't have enormously great pro/cons. I just always go in hard on economics as a player early on, hoping to catch up on the military on the back end of it all. That sorta backfired this game because of the early conflict.

Oh no, I understand that. I was just saying that the Batarains having the economy power to compete with other Council races, let alone Humanity is hilariously non-canon. So I was thinking that would be a cool post to do something about wealthy Batarian state-sanctioned companies in the Terminus doing things. Show that they are the second most influential species in the Terminus as of right now.

I don't see why not. Batarian State Arms (BSA) is a major provider of weapons to nearly every terminus pirate organization. And that was with the economic sanctions in place.

True, never actually saw any lore that showed just how big the Hegemony's grip on the Terminus but just seeing how big the economy is right now I could see them being that big in the IC.

I don't think that the Hegemony has any actual grip on the Terminus as much as the Batarian race is well spread throughout it, not all have loyalty to the Hegemony. It would be interesting to see how the Hegemony-Systems Alliance treaty holds up and how other factions handle that situation.

Fair enough, just want to make a post that's not me doing a faction-specific thing. As for the treaty, I'm trying to figure out ways to deepen the relationship between humanity and the Batarains but ehh. The Council doesn't actually care what the Batarians do I think since for the most part they haven't done anything except make an economy based solely on trade with the Terminus and exploiting the Vorcha. One might have the Hegemony with some more scrutiny due to having a rising economy on the scale of the Humans and are still competing with the Council. But it's up to them really. I don't anyone truly cares about a powerful slaver state that hasn't done anything except be a slaver state.

Well, from what I can see: They aren't really raiding Citadel Space for their slaves and that's a big thing. If they were to start getting up to their old shenanigans, annexing Asari colonies, bombarding Salarian ones, etc.. then the Council might turn to deal with them. Aside from that, I think our Council players are content to let the Humans and Batarians finally work things out.
