Ongoing Events and Campaign Hooks
### 🔹 Ongoing Events and Campaign Hooks (2333 [Present]–)
- Mating Accord quotas are escalated; assigned companions now number in thousands. Earth civilians are divided: some resist, others seek to profit or ascend through compliance. Resistance never subsides. A recent bombing at Fort Drakonis (Mars) has been blamed on the HLF.
- The Venus Protocol Scandal: Plantoid diplomats on Venus are accused of releasing subtle emotional pollen to sway human negotiators—blurring the line between diplomacy and manipulation.
- Border Smuggling Wars: In asteroid belts and fringe stations, human miners and rogue haulers battle Arthropoid raiders over trafficking lanes. A single miner’s spouse getting kidnapped can spark guerrilla retaliation across entire sectors.
- The Consort Reclamation Protocol: A radical plan hatched by the Human Liberty Front: simultaneously abduct multiple high-profile consorts from noble houses to force negotiations. Twist: What is it that HLF wants? Why don't they simply liberate these women? HLF may not be that selfless as they claim to be. Intels have been telling the HLF's activities near Erebus Gate (Kuiper Belt).
- The Breeder Registry Rebellion: On Ganymede and Callisto, as human women are forcibly listed in alien databases, Underground networks forge fake deaths, evacuate endangered families, and sometimes resort to assassinating CPB/SIC officials (alien).
- Bar Brawls & Bounty Hunts: Mid-tier clubs like The Black Nebula become hotspots for plots: bounty hunters stalk women with “companion warrants,” mercs run blackmail rings, and rumors fly of a human assassin working within an alien noble house.
- Human companion auctions are hosted every 7 Cycles at Zenthara Spire (Cosmopolis). It is always followed by the gala within the Gossamer Grid (Cosmopolis). On the gala, Human consorts, especially first-timers, and trade candidates (for next Cycles) display in elegant anonymity under the guise of diplomacy, performance, or fashion. A player (or NPC ally) may be invited. Also, a rebellion cell might plan to hijack the broadcast, a noble might recognize a former consort presumed dead.
- The Gala of Blood and Silk: A human delegate (female) attending a gala within the Gossamer Grid (Cosmopolis) for diplomatic/politic/social assignment finds herself being secretly auctioned.
- Echoes of a Sister: A human female was recruited into an alien noble house under duress. Her siblings may infiltrate to rescue her.
- The Pactbreaker’s Code: The players (either human or alien) intercept an alien noble's private courier revealing plans to maximize the Mating Accord's imposition through covert military annexation of Nova Terra (Mars). Do they leak it, negotiate, or kill the messenger?
- Arthropoid Clans: One male Arthropoid nobel plots to produce his own colony with human women, throwing evolutionary wars against his queen.
- Necroid Nomad hijack CPB shipments, selling females on fringe black markets.
- Rogue Consort Ring: is an all-female rebel pirate fleet formed by escaped consorts and elite spies. They reject both human and alien control, believing the only path to liberation is disruptive transcendence: hacking, sabotaging, and destroying Confederation bio-markets entirely. They are radical feminists, saboteurs, and mythmakers—viewed as terrorists by both sides.
- Tasks for alien player characters (nobles, enforcers, officials, tacticians, etc.) are:
Acquiring high-status consorts,
Enforcing quotas,
Suppressing rebellions,
Expanding dominion in the Sol System.
