My name is Yavapai, im a a 17 year old Serevi, i know, it's a stupid name.
..I'll be honest with you, things haven't been going our way recently they, the Confederacy is being shady and

as days pass, more and more of the population just starts dissapearing, leaving the planet in the

Confederacy's ships, and don't even tell us what for, or, at least don't tell ME what for. It's been like that for the last two years, and it has been a real nightmare. I just don't know what to belive anymore...

also, hi

Describe yourself!

>Tell us about the confederacy

>>399307
Who's that guy under the tree?

Yavapai is the best name. You should be proud to be named after such a great person as the first Yavapai.

What happened to your tail?

watchu eatin there

Look, Citizen, all you need to do is pay the Kroll Tax and you'll be fine.

Or if you don't believe that crap, get some weapons training, we'll need it to take control of our destiny.

Well...generally people don't really ask questions about me, so I'll make it brief.
I'm not really different than any other Serevii, but I like to think that space is something amazing, unlike most of them.
I'm also not really social, as I have only a few friends, despite the somewhat fun times we had together, life's pretty boring right now.

>>399309

I don't really know all that much about the Confederacy...not that I can know about them, since my father refuses to talk about them, aside from telling me that they are 'good' guys, but I'm doubtful on that one. The only thing I've seen about them is their droids...pretty odd things if you ask me.

>>399317

That's Yaaen, a friend of mine, he must be taking a break, he works at the west farm, i work at the south one.

>>399327

Eh, thanks, i guess, tough i preffer being called Yav.

>>399372

My species don't have tails

>>399380

Something i don't even wanna eat

>>399395

They don't really make us pay Taxes, not that i know of, at least, they just make us work for them.

And i don't even know what you mean with "take controll of our destiny", and we're not allowed to own weapons of any kind.

sounds like your dad is in denial and deluding himself. sad.

anyway, you aren't going to get anything done legally, you will need to break the rules if you want stuff, so weapons. get a massive bank loan and head into the seediest part of town you have

>>399447

Yeah well you're not allowed to not disappear either. I don't think you really want to obey someone who's obviously bent on annihilating you.

There are three ways I can think of off the top of my head to take power away from your planetnappers. The first is to do things you are not allowed to do. To do that, you must get something called 'privacy". That is, you must take away the power of these Vore ticks to know everything about what you're doing. It can be as simple as digging a hole to hide weapons in, or digging a hole to distract them from the holes being dug for weapons.

The second is passive aggression. Fondly regarded as nonviolent protest, this is actually a far more pervasive technique. The basic idea is you obey all the rules, but feign incompetence. As long as you creatively interpret the rules in order to take away power from those who impose them on you, but not break the rules, you can drain their resources (and thus their power). A particularly effective form of passive aggression is to make weapons out of non-weapons. That thing you use to thresh hay can thresh people. That thing you use to lop the heads off of wheat can lop the heads off of people. Weaponizing ordinary tools allows you to have a weapon to defend yourself with, or else be entirely useless to the aggressors (thus sapping their power passively). They can tie you up in a corner, but they can't tie everyone up in a corner or the farming won't get done.

And the third is to make friends. That is, you need to find people sympathetic to your freedom (and privacy (see above)), and successfully communicate with them, and enable them to communiate with each other. If you are not allowed to speak of your oppression, make up a language. Use words in the wrong way repetitively and consistently, and your friends will get the gist. Messages in holes works too. On napkins, toilet paper. If you aren't allowed ink you can use the grass around you for a crude green ink. The more friends who can help each other, the more power you all have, and if that power goes beyond that of your captors even momentarily, then you can win your freedom.

As an afterthought, be unpredictable. Obey one second and fight the next. Claim insanity even (re: the passive/aggressive thing). The less your enemies can predict your actions, the less power they will have over you. The more they can predict, say if they force all of a certain type to wear a certain arm band, the easier it is for them to annihilate you. Never forget that this is a life and death situation, as peaceful as it may seem.

>passive aggressive, thresh people
Uh, what? Also you're jumping the gun, here. We don't know if the Voretic Confederacy is evil. In fact, we're being told they aren't. All we know is that people are leaving the planet on their ships, and nobody's telling Yav why.

Personally I think there's a war going on, but it's being hidden from the general populous. Perhaps to prevent panic?

>>399447
Yav, I think you just need to find someone who knows what's going on and demand to know why people are leaving. Conspiracy theories are the result of fear combined with lack of information. Fix that second problem, and the first problem usually goes away.

fuck what they allow you or not. if they want you to do what they want, they should be cool about it as opposed to kidnapping your people and probably giving them anal probes aboard their spaseships.

don't eat what you don't want to eat. unless you're really hungry, I guess.

Now you're just talking like my crazy friend, Mahy. You should know that it's a whole GALACTIC EMPIRE what we're talking about here, we're not their only race they overpowered.
Well, Mahy is the one that tells me all of this, she has ben offworld a few times, i have no idea if what she sez is true or not, but either way, i don't think anyone here is in position to confront them... i think.

Besides, there's nothing really that can work as a weapon, most tools are compact thingies provided by the Confeds, except for the Digger, wich can actually break thru metal.

>>400153
I only got out of this farm like twice, the second time i messed some things up, and they don't allow me to go out anymore, and i don't remember having seen much, except the road the empire built for transporting shipments.
But if you mean around the farm, then right down the road here is the 2 Plantations, A and B, i work at A, with my father, and on the other side of this bridge is the warehouses the Confederacy uses to safekeep all of the stuff we make for them, i once got in there by sneaking around when the guard droids were distracted by something, i couldn't get in anywere, but i saw some weird barrles with black glass-like parts, im not really into technology that much.

As for rumors, there's one about that NOBODY at all has seen an actual Voretic, or "Imperial", as they nicknamed them, only their-

Woop, speak of the devil, it's coming this way.

Greet the ominous dark figure in the background

Hide and eavesdrop on the figure.

>>400253
What is it?

Pick up that can.

You should probably hide, I am assuming you're only allowed to take breaks during designated times?

Pretend you've some kind of sickness, maybe he'll lead you somewhere?

>>401466 Seconded

Wait wait wait - is that power suit he/she's wearing armed? 'Cause that looks awfully like and arm cannon on its left arm there. Might I recommend caution?

Hmmm. Tell us MOAR about the Confederacy.

>>400253

Be deferential. Speak when spoken to. If a request is made, be helpful. These Voretics have subjugated your world. Alone, you can't risk trouble. Keep your eyes open, look to learn whatever you can about them by observing and listening.

If you're going to get Derrken back under native control, you're going to need to understand your enemy.
