the st. thomas buffoonery

there has been a family of jokaero on st. thomas for as long as records go back. true, from time to time, when the buffoonery reaches a certain critical size, the jokaero build themselves the framework of an improbable spacecraft and a new group splits off to colonise some other part of the jamaica system or even the wider caribbean viii sector, but a core always remains on st. thomas.
for the most part, they keep to themselves in the more sparsely occupied parts of the interior, but it is not uncommon for them to visit the remote settlements, and just occasionally they can be found roaming the streets of one of the planet's larger cities such as spanglish town.
when the buffoonery does interact with the other intelligent denizens of st. thomas, it is almost inevitably because they need some unusual component for whatever mechanical device they are currently constructing. having no way of communicating, or at least none that the other residents of st. thomas understand, the jokaero just take what they need, usually leaving something else in its stead. sometimes this is of obvious utility, but at other times it can take months or years before its purpose is discerned by the new owner. those less wise have been known to take objection to this unmediated exchange, bringing them into conflict with the jokaero.

^Excellent! How did they do? I can't wait for the after action report. :)

hopefully they'll feature in our next game.

finally got to play them. details of the scenario are here: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=31354

the jokaero completed their main objective, killed all the guards and the silent partners' dreadnought and drove the rest of the silent partners off the table. they took heavy losses themselves though - the powerboard riding champion and all the flightpack jokaero (they were really hampered by the low acceleration of a couple of the flightpacks) along with the one wielding a chainsword. they won the scenario by one victory point! the pivotal moment was the jokaero dreadnought taking out heisenberg at an early stage.

I have to admit, I do not think I have ever seen anyone attempt to make a Jokaero army.

i won't claim an army - just one family group.
an internet image search will turn up a few others.

That's so wacky. Why all the web solvent XD ?

thank you.
i randomly generated them using the tables in rogue trader (details on my wip thread: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=28992&start=60). they each had a 90% chance of d6 doses, presumably to reflect that they are 'largely impossible' to capture. it's the high number of unnecessary suspensors that mostly draws my attention, though.
