In the far reaches of the Pacific, the Ninja Clan are on a mission spanning multiple continents, sailing a vessel commissioned by the Emperor himself. Without warning, the Ninja are besieged by the unyielding winds of the sea and find themselves shipwrecked on a remote island deep in the archaic waters of the Pacific. As they forage for wood to rebuild their ship, they can not help but bear witness to the toil of a society with little food or water, slaving away for a ruthless king. This confrontation with social injustice is more than the Ninja can bear and they demand to be taken to the Sacred temple to negotiate the inhabitants freedom. An offer is made. If they are able to please Undun, Supreme God of the island, with their Ninjaskill, the souls of every man, woman and child on the island will be set free from bondage. If not, they will live amongst the people, never to complete their mission, enslaved amongst the residents of the village forever. And so, the Ninja endeavor to appease the God of the island with music culled from the ends of the earth. Help the Ninja in their quest. It is their most important evening ever as they attempt to bring justice and peace to Forbidden Island.

Caladan IX - "Bringin' It Home"

July 7, 2007

The Story:

Once upon a time about eight years ago, there was this party called Dune and ... no, wait! You've heard this story a thousand times. This year though, our story takes a different turn.

Caladan has happened for the past eight years. We're on our ninth one. In the history of the desert and renegade party crews, that's an eternity. We've outlasted alot of our brethren and we've seen new crews come and grow. We've seen older crews keep going strong and others slowly fade away. We've been busted by the man. We've lost partners-in-crime. We've been around a long ass time.

Steampmunk Defined

They were said to have been some of the best minds of the 19th century. The Raja Mark Zabala and his team of assistants had only recently finished construction of the world's most advanced steam plant, and it had already given the outlaw port of El Pueblo de Los Angeles a significant technological advantage. It was made up of an elaborate array of glass lenses that, once uncovered, would focus the sun's rays tightly on the collected dam water. The tides themselves generated much energy on their own, but the steam generated from the heat of the sun was what made the port the envy of the Victorian Empire. The plant was self-sustaining. There were no workers required to pump wood and coal into boiler rooms. In fact, other than the initial construction of the plant, few natural resources were needed at all. So long as there was sun, wind and water, El Pueblo de Los Angeles would never run out of energy.

The Raja's team assembled on the shores waiting for the airship HGS Ecstasy to land. The mercenaries on board were said to have possessed a new invention that would revolutionize the very nature of travel. Tesla's new machine had never been tested before, but in theory, it would overlap any two points in space making it possible to instantly travel from one point to another. However, the Raja had read some of the stolen papers, and he had another theory. With the massive amounts of energy generated from the steam plant, perhaps it would be possible to bend time as well.

What was taking that airship so long to land?
