Infiltrating the Outer Vilani worlds
In reply to LT David Gardner (msg # 2):
You gain some general information about the region, but for more detailed information, select the influence roll that reflects how you are trying to gather information, and make a roll. If you want to use different techniques for officers and enlisted men, you can roll for both separately. They will be opposed rolls, as per Basics, Campaigns, P359.
Orgill similarly has just a small spaceport, really, and supporting population, but nothing else. Beta Port is where there is a moderate farming community numbering nearly 1,000, but Ceti Command is where the majority of the Sectors populace are, commanded by Commodore Eleni Managudeli, with over 10,000 Geonee, many farmers, but also a Military Battalion and the Naval Base, if it could be called that. The sector primarily exports supplies and foodstuffs, as well as some live animals.
Managudeli has recently purchased a single Kargash class cruiser, but has patrols based at Beta Port and Orgill. It seems that most of the engineering section are not in favour of Managudeli, but have family in vulnerable positions. Typical of Vilani dictators. It will take them a month to realize they have lost the patrol.
