Aida Swanson, our new Shasvastii lady

Any news on who she is or why she is in NCA as well?

I was hoping they would go more alien and less speculo myself.

 

Her title is Criminal/Underworld Smuggler.

Gonna guess she's smuggling.

 

She was in the Kurage and I think Wotan camping document, she is a smuggler and she played train simulator 2118 to bring that CA army that did absolutely nothing to Dawn.

So just a taxi driver really. And all the uber guys are on her hit list.

 

A shock CCW and knife? I guess she wants to make sure you die when she kills you.

 

with a Viral pistol as well.

all works fantastically with the scavenger ;)

 

At least SMG's have AP. Geeze she's got so much shock it makes my hairs stand on end.

 

Knife is Shock and Silent, so she just chosses: Silent or +1 to melee damage...

Also the concept has a shotgun besides the SMG, so we either have seen a single profile out of two or more, or they don't even know what they are doing XD

 

Makes me wanna play Shas again... if only I was any good at making shas lists that aren't Ltd Insertion.

 

Sweet and cheap profile, for sure.

 

Here's hoping it's in Onyx... still annoyed that vanilla human factions have Krakots but the CA sectorials don't.

 

Morats have Krakots.

 

And Morats is the only sectorial they would make sense in. Shasvastii are about steatlh so they would likely not hire a drugged up morat. Onyx is a first contact force, and declarations of the EI's overwhelming power would be undercut somewhat if they also had to explain that they had to hire some mercenaries to help them...and those mercenaries are drug addled criminals...from one of the species they supposedly rule over.

Krakots make sense in vanilla and Morats because it is probably just one of the Morats helping out one of its down and out cousins by giving them some work, (though this could be a problem of co-dependency because the Morat must know that its cousin is only going to spend the money on drugs, and not get the help it really needs).

 

@nehemiah the Krakots in MAF or Vanilla CA are supposed to represent Krakots who haven't escaped. In that context they'd make a great example of the "or else" in Onyx's "join us... or else" spiel.

 

Consider that the Krakots are criminal morat, or morats unworthy of being called as such! Onyx is an "elite, shock and awe" first contact team, much in the way of the "morat diplomats", so inycting penal soldiers there is not great...

 

Kinda bugs me that they don't bring any morat diplomats, but thats just me i guess.

 

Krakots who haven't escaped are not allowed weapons as that is the ultimate insult to a Morat, any armed Krakots are renegade mercs.

I'd argue that they shouldn't be in Vanilla as I can't see an Umbra or EI Aspects being particularly fond of hiring bona fide traitors, but like most ITS mercs they're added to all Vanilla armies.

 

Yeah, well, they're in MAF so clearly they're allowed weapons of some sort, despite the fluff blurb. Chalk it up to Li Feifei making a mistake.

 

That´s no shasvastii. An Asura with camo cloak and pants at best -.-
maybe toha with dreadlocks.

I like the profile.

 

Also mini Yay for CA getting some viral, like the profile and possibly comes with a glimpse of what the shas rule is going to be for the rest of the sectorial
