I attended part 4 as my first weekender....and I am a suck for this type of punishment. Info and story below. Yes it's a wall of text. More info on the Territory Facebook page. 

 

I will be full larping this time round as a member of the Sovereign team.

 

The Territory part 6 - The Fight For New Acropolis 

 

It is the year 2028.

 

The Territory’s across the former United Kingdom have survived new waves of Covid, enforced vaccination protocols from corporations who have acquired land en masse and all European and International antagonists have either been exiled or indoctrinated in their respective captures culture. 

 

Fuel crises are all but non existent as the transition from fossil fuel to electrification progresses throughout the Territory’s however the Cornish Lithium Mines are now of major international interest and pressure beckons on the mines and the local citizens to make hard decisions before choice is no longer an option. 

 

Whilst the Northern Hemisphere focuses on the logistic benefits of trading with Cornwall for its Lithium, the local Cornish territory’s that both advocate or protest against the mining developments face an even bigger challenge. 

 

The increased mining and ever present Radon radiation, synonymous with Cornwall has both positive and negative effects. Soil deposits tested after crops have been harvested detected immensely higher degrees of nutritional value. It is speculated that there has been a genetic mutation between Radon radiated areas and lithium seeping into the water which has created what the locals call, “The New Acropolis”. TNA for short, the food substance byproduct is considered a highly effective antidepressant, an anticarcinogenic when mixed with CBD and according to independent research, has the highest nutritional density then any food substance in the U.K. 

 

Scientific findings and rumours of TNA’s health and recreational properties have leaked out to neighbouring Territory’s and interested corporate parties. In addition, this AONB, whilst free from
government control and running under separatist jurisdiction, still has one last bastion of the former United Kingdom and Great Britain. The Duchy Of Cornwall…… Prince Charles and his immediate heirs.

 

Who will fight to protect resources for the few?


Who will fight to ensure resources reach the many?


Who will fight for King and a lost country?


Who will fight for the sovereignty of the Territory’s?

 

Team Backstory and Weapons.

 

 

Team Cornwall.

 

The original landowners, creators and cultivators of the TNA crop. Team Cornwall hold the initial high hand in determining the fate of their region and the rest of the former U.K. They know the terrain, the shortcuts around the area and how to fight across the Territory. 

The vulnerabilities in this team are bribery, corruption, greed, coupled with defensive pride and ostracisation of non-locals. Without the successful retention of TNA manufacturing materials and crops, Team Cornwall will have little to barter or bargain with. 

In fighting with this team may lead to betrayal, mutiny and allegiances to some of the Team Outsider, Team Corporate and Team Sovereign members. 

Armed with bolt action rifles, semi automatic DMR high powered rifles and shotguns, allegiances with criminal elements of the Outsiders, Corporates and/or Sovereigns may facilitate the acquisition of military grade, fully automatic weapons.

Due to mining and quarrying locations in the immediate area, it is foreseeable a quantity of explosives may be used for booby traps and assaults.

 

——————————————————————————

Team Outsider

 

Mixed with occupants, visitors and infiltrators to The New Acropolis, some will be trusted, some will neutral and some will almost certainly conceal ulterior and possibly, criminal motives. They will be able barter and bond with Team Cornwall and almost certainly elevate the capability and capacity to maintain control of the Territory. 

The vulnerability of this team will be its ambiguous nature of not having clear allegiances to any side but it’s own. In fighting may occur and connections to Team Corporate, Team Eco and Team Patriate may be exposed and even manipulated.

Armed with single shot small arms PDW’s, assault rifles and competition style marksmen rifles, it is likely that a criminal element may also be in possession of weapons converted to fully automatic capability. 

Whilst having no immediate possession of high explosives, it is believed that manufacturing capabilities will be acquired to provide additional force to subdue areas of interest and achieve objectives if necessary.

 

——————————————————————————

 

Team Corporate 

 

A combination of effective negotiation skills and refined and proven hostile acquisition techniques mean that Team Corporate are able to manipulate and/or escalate a situation to achieve its ultimate goal which is to acquire all potential commercial assets and recruit key personnel into its organisation. 

The vulnerability of this team is that it is a mobile force with limited resources in terms of ammunition and logistics. Resupply and reorganisation in terms of resources and manpower will need to take place on the outskirts of this Territory.

This team will armed with state of the art Western weapons systems and technology, some of which are not yet available to any known armed forces unit. 

 

——————————————————————————

Team EcoTerror 

 

This team are likely to be manic, sporadic, chaotic and disruptive. It will seem like there is no motive but to be a nuisance at best and danger at worst. Seeing everyone as the enemy of the land and earth, the aggressive nature of this team to inflict its moral high ground could be the bane of any logical outcome or negotiations.

The main vulnerability is likely to be there being little to no advantage to form and alliance as its main objective is disrupt commercial distribution of TNA but to steal and redistribute the crop throughout its network. It is not likely, but not impossible for this team to acquire and maintain a base to conduct operations from. 

Typically armed with black market weapons purchased from organised criminal gangs, a full range of weapons, minus professional accessories such as scopes, IR and mounted torches are likely to be in circulation. Home made explosives are also likely to in circulation but not launched as a projectile weapon. 

 

——————————————————————————

Team Patriate 

 

Since the inception of the Territory act, the central government of London had dispatched its forces to areas of concern. At the new acropolis, there are multiple threats and opportunities that can be simultaneously handled through negotiation of force.

The vulnerabilities of this team are its potential inability to win over the other 5 elements of the game and will be forced into continuous engagement or hostile negotiations. Some allegiance to Team Sovereign as the line between King and Country are blurred if or when facing off against Team Sovereign. 

This team will possess state of the art firepower but in limited supply and will need to operate an FOB on the border of the New Acropolis 

 

——————————————————————————

 

Team Sovereign

 

This team is last remnants of the monarchy’s old order, swearing allegiances to The Former Prince Charles, now recognised only as the unofficial King of Old Britannia but still, the Duchy of Cornwall. Funded, paid and valued by Charles, there’s growing belief that holding the purse strings to the crops on TNA could reinstate a national leader figure to challenge Londonium and its protectors and vested interests. 

The vulnerabilities with this team are a lack of trust of anyone other than the Cornwall locals, and even then, that allegiance may be questioned when money and wealth are used as tools for bribery and corruption. They may need to convince members of Team Patriate to form an allegiance by organising a coup against central Londonium.

It is highly likely Team Sovereign will have a heavily supplied and fortified location on Territory which will have state of the art firepower and military grade munitions and explosives.
