LANCER Lore: Karrakin Trade Baronies | Mech Knights and Sci-fi Nobles
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- Hi hello, and welcome to the Karrakin Trade Baronies. THE industrialists of the galaxy with generations of advancement, sci-fi tech, mechs, and inherited planets. Within the ancient history of the KTB we've got a 7000 head start history wise compared to Union, with some noble lines able to trace their lineage all the way back to the initial warlord monopolists from the Melee. We've got feudal mech knights marching out across the galaxy in house companies fighting battles on a half built ring world above cracking planets being extracted. It's rad.

Warhammer wise I'm already a sucker for Imperial Knights. This was a show-in to be one of the things that drew me into the setting initially.

i wonder why this took so- GOOD LORD
It's Aurora borealis
My eyes shot out my head when I saw this
Great vidya
WORTH IT, BABYYY!!

DM: "Welcome to our 2nd Lancer campaign. We are playing core rules with the KTB expansion. So to start, you need to pick a House as your starting employer. We have House Liao, House Kurita, House Davion, House Marik, House Steiner."
Players: "Wait...What???"
Remember to pay the telephone company 👀
Also some weird Harrison guys, who won't shut up about this guy or guys called Kerensky, piloting super mechs.
@@bthsr7113 Camp fire at the end of the day in an undisclosed location and planet.
Lancer A: "Kerensky? Ain't he the one that survived HA hit squads and got his people off planet and disappeared towards the Galactic Rim? "
Lancer B: "Yeah, that's the guy."
Lancer A: ..............
Lancer A: "Never heard of him." Then slowly turns to look into the fire and takes a long sip on his tin cup.
On Lancer A's suit is a patch with the word "EXODUS".
Nearly an hour of a funny nerd explaining the space knights in mechs. Love this channel.
this guy is basically the Bricky of Lancer
"TOM PARKINSON MORGAN! YOU HACK!" ~ Zak
Except a good version of him.
I love that they just Ignore the 3 pillars and there isn’t anything that 3rd Committee can do about it.
It’s just perfect.
I mean, Don't forget about the grey lmao. When it comes down to it, Union will easily look the other way if it get's there goals accomplished. All for uniting humanity!
Doesn't mean they're happy about it. Or that they wouldn't pounce on kharakis the micro second they don't need to rely on them any more. Or that the Baronies don't consider the feeling mutual.
After all, the Fourth Colum and deniable mercenaries exist, and i'm just saying, H0rus can't be supplying ALL of the guns the Sanjaks and Ungratefuls have...

"Nooo-"

Welcome to the backrooms
Good ol' Spooky Dave. Gotta love Spooky Dave.
"Karakus is the seat of Humanity, Earth fell", I mean if one faction of humanity is capable of mega structures ala ring worlds, then it is deserving of the "Throne of humanity"
I dont know why but this line,
"Karakis is the seat of humanity. Earth fell"
Is like HEAT bro
I wouldn't agree with how Karakis runs, but for their perspective, it is a perfect summation of why they shouldn't answer to Union, and should run the show themselves.
( 38:01 ) poor Egregorians. The only other sapient species in the universe, wiped out. Dead. By sec-comm’s hands.
(This is me subtly asking for an Egregorian video 🙏 )
Lets not be subtle about it, this lore video would be awesome!!! :D
I second this!
LETS GO I've been so excited to learn about the Trade Baronies. The Knight Houses in 40k are my favorite factions so that Feudal Mech vibe is so far up my alley I'm so excited.
Imperials knight's is what initially drew me to the system. Karrakin Trade Baronies sunk the hook on getting into the setting.
@@Zaktact Hey man I really like your content but you do need to do some editing of your scripts/videos. Maybe cause you're talking very off the cuff and its hard to edit stuff, especially when you had a good take but here are some errors that are just irksome. Your enthusiasm is great though! Your intro to Lancer video is what got me into the universe and its quickly become my favorite scifi setting =). So here are some things I noticed, I hope you find this helpful. Its not meant to be mean, its just some editing notes.
12:40 "can be predicted years in advanced." You mean advance. There are lots of little mistakes like this, its ok. I get it, its a bit like finding typos. But if you're not careful these sorts of mistakes can add up and make a video difficult to parse.
You can't just throw -wise in as a suffix where ever you want. An example of this is 13:08 "union has to respect nobility-wise." I'm not even sure what you mean, I assume you mean that union has to respect the nobilities' requests as well.
At 16:42 you say "The planets even under lightspeed-wise being very close" this sentence is also nearly entirely unintelligible. I think you're trying to say that "even at lightspeed they are very close" so just say that. Then at 10:15 you say "internal politics-wise". I can't really make out what you mean at all, I guess there's some aspects of internal politics that are concerning. At 34:00 "Black Witch-wise" so on and so forth, its a bad habit you have. If you catch yourself about to add -wise anywhere stop, take a breath and rephrase that sentence is my advice. Your videos will benefit from doing this.
I just want to point out that in 1984, part of Newspeak was to just slap -wise onto any word to turn it into an adjective. If you've read 1984 you should know Newspeak was an intentional attempt to limit thought and expression and dumb down the population. You are unintentionally replicating it here, just meditate on this a bit. Sorry to be harsh.
25:25 "Again some people are looking across internally in the concern." This is unintelligible, I have no idea what you're trying to express.
I actually had to stop watching because it became difficult to follow. Overall good video, I hope this is helpful. Its not meant to be mean.
@anguscampbell3020 Heyo, scripts-wise (a joke) I'm not the best. It is honestly one of my weak points when it comes to video production. The use of "wise" has slipped it's way into my general grammar similar to "like" being used to compare something. This doesn't excuse it, especially if it confuses and irritates. Though when using it, it generally alluded to a summation of that subject. "Nobility-wise" meaning virtually everything involving the nobility. The nobles, their property, their traditions, their bloodlines, their internal politics. There are even more lazy uses of it and slips. "Lightspeed-wise" being a good example of a slip up.
"Advanced" was a slip of the tongue I didn't notice till WAY after.
"Again some people are looking across internally in the concern." Meant to be clarification that it wasn't the totality of the concerns military goals outsiders were investigating, but the internal goals within the concern. The physical systems and the major houses inside them. This is just really poor wording on my part though.
In short, I hope this cleared some of the confusion and showed that this comment and it's suggestion are noted. Not the first comment I've gotten that I've listened.
I will admit though, the 1984 Newspeak comparison threw me.
@@Zaktact Your videos are really great-wise and I think you're funny. Enthusiasm-wise, double plus good for the setting :P Your analogies are also great. The newspeak comment was a bit of a joke, hope it didn't go too far lol. I imagine its hard putting together and summing up this lore. The way they write it can be dry, and dense but the content is great. Its good to have other communicators like you come along and share it in a less dry manner.
Your off the cuff script has drawbacks and benefits, I imagine good analogies spring to mind while you're recording which would be hard to replicate with a script. And part of the fun is seeing how much you just enjoy the lore and the spontaneity you exhibit. This will come at the expense of intelligibility though, and make your job editing more difficult. I don't know, what the right answer is honestly. Your presentation style is clearly working already so maybe my suggestions are best ignored.
@@Zaktact
Keep doing you
There are entire books about style, but there's MLA APA Chicago-something....
And this is RUclips where the individual is appreciated more than the style. Style is a guide, an outline, something to follow.
But you my guy? You have STYLE. A style. Your style.
Take the good, leave the bad love yourself, and moderation in all things, including moderation.
“Wake up, babe! New Zaktact Lancer video!”
*And it’s a big one*
that Drake fade in at 36:04 really got me
The surprise transition to a federal monarchy with no major civil war caught me off guard the most in the video. Thanks for the video.
There was NOT enough time in the video to go into detail on the Dynasticlade- and you are very right, it is incredible no civil war broke out!
But to expand on why: 1) Tyrannus was an unquestionable authority after winning the succession war, one that no-one wanted to even attempt to fight. 2) Calendula (the namesake of the frame), Tyrannus’ daughter, reigned over the transition- and reigned well! 3) The major houses, the forces that could conceivably wage a civil war if they weren’t scared shitless of Tyrannus, got a pretty good deal out of the Dynasticlade, gaining more power since they would no longer be beholden to a monarch. And 4) After the long low Passacaglian period and the succession war that followed, there was little love left for the crown. A lot of people, noble and ignoble, were happy to see it gone.
If you couldn’t tell, I do recommend reading the field guide.
The CALENDULA is my favorite mech, it's so fun and complex; Shred, CC, DPR + so tanky. And may the Passions have mercy upon your enemies, if you find a BROOD-SIBLING’S MOLT.
You sold me on the Trade Baronies. They make the sausage Union needs to survive. With the constant reminders that Lancer is supporting be optimistic, I probably am not supposed to like them, but they are honest in their evil, and I can respect that more than a post-scarcity society that is still dealing with modern day problems.
Honestly there not even bad guys other then the hyper militaristic political party that the house of stone is under that tend to do questionable stuff and very bad things every one else just have there own agendas and goals including stuff they think is best for the nation and its people some of which do coincides some what with each other frankly I am not necessarily support of a probably ment to be good guys your suppose to want win well I do sympathize with them I don't think what there immediately going for is good or for the best I am all in on the house of remembrance and there liberal party more moderate progressive stance on how to not treat none nobles as second class citizens and soften the divide between them and make some real changes with out getting rid of the nobility or the existing power structure but working with and modifying it well still retaining the culture and society and making more accepting of relationships between noble and non noble people of the society that are not just working relationships the only problem is they have the some of the lest political power with only control of one major house and no real intentional support by union compared to the ungratefuls this just makes it more fun tho to root for them and see how they come out on top somehow because they are kinda the underdog in the game and they got my favorite major house company crimson memory such a cool name
Post scarcity societies are going to be plagued by issues even more than scarce ones. When man has nothing to do but busy himself with bread and circuses, he'll find new ways of upending the status quo.
@@AndrewChumKaser The status quo is that your every need and whim is met at a moment's notice. Once they are safe and fed, humans tend to stop caring about much else. Even if someone does want to shake things up, getting backing is hard, especially if your goal isn't to take responsibility for caring for the masses. Punching Ted to take his sandwich isn't as fun when he can just immediately get medical care and a new sandwich at no cost
40 minutes of pure unadulterated Zachary Tactical content? Its a Christmas miracle in June!
Yes! Inject more Lancer lore into my veins!
FORTY MINUTES?! AT THIS TIME OF YEAR?! IN THIS PART OF THE INTERNET?! LOCALIZED ENTIRELY WITHIN YOUR CHANNEL?!
When you hear house of stone
“ROCK AND STONE”
After reading the whole KTB book because one of my players wanted to be from the Baronies, yeah, a 40 minute video is nice and short.
Add on the core book and I've read...what must have been *literal* hundreds of pages of lore.
The claims about Throne Karraka's size comes from a fanmade World-Anvil page. I looked through the Field Guide and couldn't find a concrete sqaure-kilometre figure about Throne Karraka. Not saying that Throne Karraka can't get that big, but just an FYI for those who don't have the actual Field Guide. Great work on the vid Zaktract!!!
EDIT: ignore me, the figures are in the core book
I actually grabbed it from the Core Book, not the Field Guide. Page 387 talking about Fulcrum Worlds.
@@Zaktact oh shit, my bad chief
Mega engineering and mechs to hell with learning about union I want to learn more about these folks
LETS GOOO
Been waiting for this one for nearly a year now lol
Thanks for the video lancer man
Thanks for the man, lancer video
I love the world of Lancer so much! Thanks for showing it off and allowing myself and others to find it and learn how cool it is!
I love the use of the Nebulous OSP cargo ships for the wake traders.
it didn't even feel like 40 minutes. those are the best videos.
Waking up to a 40 minute zaktact lancer vid is like waking up on Christmas morning
THE 30+ MINUTES THRESH HOLD HAS BEEN PASSED. A NEW ERA OF ZAK HAS BEGUN
This was absolutely incredible. I had no idea just how fascinating and multilayered the trade baronies were. Thank you so much for this monster of a video and for all the other ones you've made so far.
Great video as always man. You make a lot of this lore easy to digest and it honestly makes me want to play as a minor noble trying to get his house higher in the ranks.
Man, I love your style. I'm sitting at work listening to your video -- it's the vibe.
God I LOVE this video You put so much effort into it and it shows So excited to learn more about the baronies
Selling Ghengis MK1 licenses to albatros operatives is based and justified.
I HAVE BEEN DYING FOR THIS ONE !!! Dragon lancer does alot with them, but your videos have that editing i adore !!! So much easier to understand, thank you soo much !!!
Honestly two hours would have been a great watch
Im literally running a game involving the trade baronies in a week, your timing is impeccable my friend😂
This was super fun to watch through and learn about. Thank you!
You do what you need to do to keep the content flowing as you see fit. Would I have watched a 2 hour video? Absolutely! Would I want the sacrifices on you that would require? Absolutely not! Post when you can, as you can because to me, it's all gold!
Finally!
I have watched your other lancer videos like three times now in lack of more good content lancer
These videos have been awesome! Thanks for the help, planning on running a lancer game next week.
I loved the video ❤ and I can't wait for the many others coming (especially the video about 3rd com ❤)
This is perfect! my next session will have my players going to the Karrakin Trade Baronies
Respect. Loving the videos mate, the editing is solid, love the little touches to other games and such.
Take all the time you need. Love your stuff. Plus, hey - more videos means more content!
This was incredible 🤩
Absolutely fantastic job mate. Man I can't wait to play some Lancer 😃
I love these videos so much, it’s thanks to this that I even know lancer exists
Fun science fact: The best way to do wave freight is via something nicknamed a "flying castle". Take a massive O'Neill
cylinder loaded with cargo spaces and set it in a years long orbit around the two planets. Lander ships bring freight and passengers to and from it while it is near one of the planets, but it never stops moving. People live out their entire lives in the O'Neill cylinder operating the flying castle, even farming the area on the inner cylinder to provide food and oxygen.
I imagine like union asking for some resources:
"So we neeed to build a few stations"
"Yeah sure how many"
"Like 3-"
"3000 sure no problem we can make it in a week"
P.s. fun fact; it is estimated that we could dismantle pluto whithin 60 years with current tecnology and self replicating robots, cool.
I love Tyranus story, I wish their's a lancer novels detailing his story
Ooh boy, Tyranus. In my version of the Baronies Him and his children have there marks everywhere. Old relics, prayers, traditions, house histories. The Karrakin history was essentially burned and re-founded under his reign. A very storied family.
Ive been so pumped for this one karrakin is my favourite faction love the space knights
Hurray! Been looking forward to this video!
Incredible video
Code Gease eat your heart out. This is what nobles with mechs should look like!
Nice and informative round-up, thank you, mr. Lancer-man
Very much interested in hearing about KTB religions, it's pretty neat from what I know
A real interesting non-centralized... something. Hard to summarize the millions of versions across the KTB. It is really cool though.
Omg yes i love long form video. Thanks for this
I've been looking forward to this one!
Fun fact: the passacaglia is also a type of musical composition, possibly of Spanish origin ^^
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR LETS GOOO
Ah yes. The knights of 40K
What’s that? This is the Karrakin Trade Baronies from Lancer?
Oh. Eh. Potato Tomato or whatever. Basically the same.
HOT DAMN, THAT WAS A RIDE!
I love them so much!
Hey, I've been waiting for this.
Best channel by far
Holy crap, Planetside 2 trailer background footage. Nice.
Unless it's mentioned in one of the books by Massif, personally, I'm gonna say that the calendula was something tested and successful by the KTB and Ra did a "that looks nice, I'm gonna copy that tech."
Oh boy this is the longest lore vid so far. And also thank you I'm about to introduce KTB in my star system
17:55 showing the imperial palace is fitting
Omg Dude, Please make more on the Trade Baronies. I LOVE fuedal societies in a hyper futuristic state! Also.please make a public discord! I'd love to takk and speculate with people who also love this
Such a good video.
Keep 'em comming! :D
40 minutes of Lancer Lore from Zaktact and it's not even my birthday. 😩
Looking forward to learning more about te baronies after they've been mentioned in previous videos, so time to dive into this vid immediately!
There is so much good lore, sometimes i forget that there is a game attached to it
This was one of my favorite videos you've produced so far, I can see why it took so long to produce this video. I can't wait till the next one.
So the baronies are the Mechanicum to Union's Imperium?
Not a bad comparison. A client state which the larger power relies upon for a majority of it's industry, holding onto ancient inherited tech, with it's own military. Fits quite well.
with the added intrigue of the increadibly strained relation between them that the mechanicus and imperim simply cannot have, being a "good guy" faction and a "bad guy" faction forced to work so closely simply from how much they rely on the othee
UNGRATEFUL MENTION! WOO!
When you segued into the colony ships I thought you were about to drop a raid shadow legends on us. Thanks for keeping away from that stuff, but with vids this detailed you’ve definitely earned the right to cash in on that lol.
Bro inspired me to buy the books.
God i love Lancer lore so much. I hope someday i can find the right group to play it
40 MINUTES?!
welp, now i have something to listen to while nyoooming in Warframe
God you did such a good job
We're getting an HOUR OR TWO??!??!
YAY!!
I like how this sits between 40k and Dune.
Coriolis Rpg is similar but without the mechs.
I enjoy these and look forward to the big ones!
Noble Houses, expansive medieval-like cultures, knight mechs and a claim on humanity similar to the claim of Byzantium over the Roman legacy? Oh yeah, this is my kind of stuff.
I see more Zaktact covering Lancer, I hit like
I'm currently playing a comp/con who was a political, and military advisor for a duke of House of Stone. Baronic Intelligence deemed this comp/con as a threat, and he was shipped off to forge world adjacent to Free Sanjak. He was freed by a HORUS cell, and given a Salamander (homebrew Kobold alt in Expanded and Enhanced Combat). He was picked up by the Ungratefuls after being a free intelligence, causing havok within the forgeworld, and was deemed to be a valuable enough asset to be a captain of a company. Shit went down, and now he's on the run. AWOL, and in the pocket of a UIB handler in exchange for a life free of conflict.
AND HE HAS DELIVERED!!!!
Oh yeah let's gooooo🎉🎉
Hell yes!
Oh, glorious day, we have been fed well my brothers and sisters!
My lowd I thought this was 25 mins or so but damnn. Lovin it tho
So much for their head start, they lost every war lol
cool
With a bit more unity, closing the tech gaps could make the Baronies THE dominant powers. If they get on par with Union and the megacorps best, they might decide to do away with Union, and SSC is already trying to cozy up to the Baronies.
Because no other faction seems to be able to achieve planetary and solar cracking materials. So Union has to increase the tech edge or find alternative material extraction on vast scale to dilute Karokan power. The biggest thing holding the Baronies back is their neo feudalism, but with this level of material wealth that the other big boys rely on.... that only hurts them so much.
what this says to me, is that the number 1 most pressing issue for the union, as well as its greatest source of potential issues. is its heavy reliance on the baronies for reaources. as it stands they cannot opperate without them, which means they have no leverage to enforce demands for them to respect the pillars, but without that. they have a major source of potential political unrest completely unplugged
Fun fact! Orcus is based on White Glint from Armored Core 4 and 4A!
LETS GOOOOOOO THANK YOU KING, Keep up the excellent work, Do you think you will make videos on cain once it comes out too?
The art of Cain (and of course Abaddon working on it) has caught my attention. I'd have to see if the lore grabs me though. Definitely am giving it an earnest look when it comes out.
Your the only channel I can watch and not feel empty atm because my recently croked. I have all old fucking systems. Only person in my friends list to use a XBox one anymore im sure, I live leeching of family as I just mintally have no desire or will to work. When it do it's a small jist clip. Vid to some feasable on RUclips. Small time thing. Mostly ment to give me bussy work so I can deal with depression. But now I have nothing. I feel dead with out any pc to work/live on.
Pc dam auto on phones suck ass when ot fails.
3:53 in case someone was wondering, these ship are from the game Nebulous fleet command.
You can tell SSC didn't build the Orchis because it has hooves instead of creepy feet.
