By order of the Emperor, the dice have rolled in the Imperium's favor.
Yes, that Commisar is right.
I broke the tie with a coinflip, so..Mobius gets to meet the 'Perium.
Simple things:
You can be a GLORIOUS servant of the IMPERIUM OF MAN, or a Mobia-Filthy heretical Xeno.
Ahem.
Mobius is advanced a la pre-slipspace UNSC, and has barely explored their star system. However, an Adeptus MEchanicus Explorator Fleet has arrived in their star system. First contact was...edgy, but the supposed "Maygos Errant" is coming down to Mobius to convene with the Queen, a miss Adria Acorn. IF all goes well...there will be little to no conflict.
And now for the Imperium's view.
There are reports of xenos life on that planet, Techpriests. They are vile and unclean, and that world MUST hold an STC with their advancements as they are. Attempt their relocation to a more suitable site to massacre them, but if they refuse the bargain, we will have to rip the planet from their clutches. I am sending you a fleet of escorts as soon as possible, for this will be ugly either way.
Ave Imperator.
-Lord Inquisitor Brigand
So as for gameplay, you can be on either side. Depending on your choice of occupation, you may be preoccupied before your deployment for a varied time. With the Imperium, since this is an Explorator, your quickest route to the battlefield is as a Skitarii. As a Mobian, your quickest is as a Royal Guard.
List of Mobian Army occupations, if you want to fight:
Trooper
Sargeant
Company Captain
SAIT Trooper (Jetpacks YES)
Heavy Gunner
Sniper
Freedom Fighter (by now, this is a title for Mobian Commandos)
Freedom Guardian (Basically the Mobian version of Halo's SPARTANs.)
Comm Ops (You're the guy with the radio)
Kong Pilot (MOBIAN MECHS.)
OR you could be a run-of-the-mill any-civilian-job average joe who picks up a gun to fight.
As for the IMPERIUM, first phase of deployment will have these positions:
Skitarii (cyborg soldiers of awesome.)
Techpriest (oil down those machines, talk dirty to them.)
Technographer (one of the thousands of Techpriests that tinkers with the Fleet's finds. The newbies in the Mechanicus)
Electro-Priest (other than the BADASS name, these guys know everything there is to know about electricity.)
Techmarine (A super-heavily armored marine with tech knowledge.)
Xenologist (these guys want to dissect some Mobian tonight.)
Any jobs you pick beyond 1st phase will have you on assignments across the Mobian System's other planets or a few outer systems until your phase comes up.
2nd phase, Navy Deployment, has these:
Navy Officer
Munitions Officer (you get to point at continents and say "Nuke here pls.")
Slave/NAVAL SERF (exactly what it sounds like. You're a slave. On a ship.)
Guardsman (probably awaiting 3rd phase.)
3rd phase, Imperial Guard Deployment, has this:
Guardsman (your garden-variety soldier with a lasgun)
Heavy Weapons Crewman (loader or gunner)
Commisar (You can be like me! Executing cowards and incompetents and putting FEAR in all!)
Ogryn (An ogre with a brutally murderous shotgun and a short intelligence, being a Bone 'Ead gives you slightly better smarts. SLIGHTLY.)
Ratling (You can cook or snipe, either way, you're a hobbit.)
Imperial Officer (Boss around the guardsmen! Boss around the Commisars! Flee in terror!)
Sanctioned Psyker (a crazy guy with MIND POWERS!)
Priest (spout Emprah-worship while murdering mobians with a chainsaw as big as YOU.)
Operator (operate a vehicle!)
Artilleryman (Plot Basilisk strikes, be the safest guardsman in all of the Imperial Guard.)
4th phase, Inquisitorial Intrigue, has some fun ones:
Stormtrooper (blast em with automatic lasguns -Hellguns-, look awesome.)
Acolyte (Enforce the will of the Inquisition, be the boss of every guardsman ever until Space Marines/an Inquisitor shows up)
Calculus Logi (you're the nerd with the calculator who does paperwork and tells the Inquisitor attack advice)
Scholar (study the Xenos, kill them when you finish)
DeathWatch (Only LATE in the deployment. A SPace Marine who knows EVERY SINGLE WAY to kill the foul xenos.)
Xenos Inquisitor (be all you can be. Be a possibly sane psyker who can beat up xenos for shits and giggles. Damn that Drogan. Be the only one who can make the decision to be nice to mobians and possibly be a FILTHY HERETIC and join their side.)
Assasin (pick your flavor, sniping -Vindicare-, disguises and blades-Callidus-, Or even brutally slaughtering millions while hopped up on so many drugs and screaming WWWRRRRYYYYYYY-Eversor-)
5th and final phase, Space Marine Deployment, has these, all in the Sons of Steel chapter:
Tactical Marine (a supersoldier with an automatic minigrenade launcher called a Bolter and a knife/Chainsword.)
Devastator Marine (you're the hunk of funk carrying the Heavy Bolter into battle.)
Assault Marine (Jetpack Supersoldiers.)
Sternguard (a hulking supersoldier....with a sniper weapon (Stalker Bolter))
Vanguard (RIP AND TEAR MAIM KILL BURN AAAGH FOR THE EMPEROR)
Initiate (pseudo supersoldier)
Now, there WILL be Chaos taint surfacing. players on either side can convert to Chaos once it comes into play, be it voluntarily or involuntarily.
