The party this evening, being held at the Bregan Estates on Danteven Prime, is to celebrate the defeat of the Psion forces and act as a fundraiser for the recovery efforts already underway. Many of the major political, military and economic personages of the region will be in attendance, and the RBL has been specifically invited at the behest of the Empire due to its work against the Psion invasion. There are also expected to be a number of political announcements about new programs in the Rimward Barrens to deal with the after math of the Psion threat. Your job is to represent the RBL at this meeting, putting our best foot forward in an attempt to gain allies and information. A lot of powerful people are going to be at this meeting so we'd best not look the fool.
An RBL diplomatic advisor, Sarin Kedji, will be waiting for you at the ball and she will have up to the minute information on the major guests at the party with whom you may make contact. She knows what is going on so pay her proper heed. If she gives you advice on behavior or protocol take it; this is not the time to use the wrong fork. Above all do not cause a disturbance. Do not start a fight or cause a scene if it can be avoided. Chartuan is well known for the displeasure she places on those who disturb her parties. If someone pulls a gun on you ask them to step outside and then deal with them. If this means you get shot, there's a great hospital nearby.
You will all be outfitted with appropriate clothes if you do not possess them. The security forces for the ball are large and well trained, which will hopefully provide you with some comfort because no weapons are allowed in the ball except for ceremonial melee weapons. If you are caught trying to sneak a weapon into the ball the RBL will not lend you support and will distance its self from you entirely. A lot of these people think we are gun totting borderworld yahoos and we need to convince them otherwise. Arriving armed to the nines will not do so. Talk to as many people as you can, and try to gain their goodwill towards our cause.
The following people will be at the party:
Mr. Tapin
An officer of NNT, he has been instrumental in fighting back the Psion forces. He has had several favorable interactions with the RBL in the past and is a valued ally. You should check in with him and say hello, just to let him know we appreciate his assistance.
Lord Silas Rasser, Head of NNT Aristocorps
This is going to be our first direct contact with Lord Rasser, the CEO of NNT, and we want to have his continued support, so be extra polite. He wants to meet the people he's been working with, so this may mean he is reevaluating his company's relationship with the RBL. Be forthcoming with him as his assistance his very valuable.
Lady “Whitescar” Chartuan, Imperial Representative
The host of the party, she is not likely to speak with you at the party as none of you are of sufficient noble rank. Just avoid offending her.
Lord General Toregat II
One of the highest ranking officers in the Imperial Navy in this region, we need his support in getting more escort ships for our recovery efforts. While you are at the party convince him that we need his ships to protect and assist the people of the Rimward Barrens.
