"admiral drake we are picking up a transmission from the firestorm" one of the ensigns said

"Thats one of that traitorus mavericks ship right, What does it say"

"yes it is one of his ships, one of the crewmembers is still loyal to the empire he sent us the coordinates to where they are repairing the calvary"

"plot a jump there imediatley send the devatator the coordinates, tell them we will have 5 nebula b's stay with them and ask if they have any other ships with them"

"Sir! We've detected an unauthorized transmission from the Firestorm just before we hit hyperspace!"
"Hmm. Have the fleet revert to realspace." The fleet then reverted in the middle of nowhere.
"Contact the Firestorm, and report on this incident. We may have a traitor or traitors onboard that ship. Also ask Cavalry how she's doing."
"Yes sir!" Some minutes later... "Cavalry reports more than 50% damage, but hyperspace and sublights are fine. Shields are being restored, slowly, and new weapons are needed. The Firestorm acknowledged and will root out the traitor or traitors. They ask what to do with them if they're found."
"Throw them out an airlock. If they're young, it's the brig and a Court-Martial."
"Very well." The comms officer replied what the Captain ordered, and got an acknowledgement.
"Return to hyperspace!"Captain Mavrik ordered. The engines glowed once again, and the ships jumped into hyperspace again.

OOC- CoreWorlds, I'm Imperial.

OOC: Ok. Better steer clear...

OOC- We don't mind if you drop in. :D
Actually, it would make for some interesting RP'ing as you try to talk your way out of it.

OOC: I have kids on board, of course.

IC:
The Ravager fleet (really Freedom's Price, but the former is how the ship always is tagged) jumped out of hyperspace near Sullust. The sensor crews reported Imperial presence in the area.
"Okay, let's stay cool, and see if they hail us." The captain said.

A startled officer on board one of the ISD's glanced up from his controls.
"Sir- we've picked up some signals of other Imperial ships."

------On board the Judicator-----

"-And this scan confirmed the presence of another Imperial task force. Your orders sir?"
"Bring the fleet around and hail them. I want to know what they're doing here. They're not going to get those rebels ahead of us!"
"Yes Sir. Judicator out'
With that, the image of an Imperial captain's hologram faded from the deck. Admiral Evanston turned to his comm officer. "Get us transmissions now. I want to be able to communicate to the task force's captain."
The admiral seethed inwardly. These gloryhogs were coming in at the moment he expected to capture the rebels. This didn't bode well with him.

OOC- Until tomorrow then.

OOC: Right.

"Sir, we're being hailed by the Admiral of the other fleet!"
"Right. Establish communications."
"Yes sir."

OOC: Guess it OK for me to join in then. my fleet will be as follows

60 Skipray blastboats
12 X-Wings
6 B-Wings
16 A-Wings
100 Corellian Y-2100 light frieghters (heavily modified for extra cargo space, shields and sensors - only one light gun turret)
20 robot ramships
150 uglies (assorted, no diewings)
12 TIE-Bombers
23 TIE Fighters
16 TIE-Interceptors
2 TIE Defender Prototypes (no shields - mainly a tie fighter with 3 wings and concussion missles)
6 blockade runners
1 galaxy destroyer
1 busted up victory class star destroyer
80 delta-probes (probe droids with all weapons and independent thinking systems removed. controlled by remote but have advanced sensor packages and dont show up on radar. were hijacked from an imperial shipment, and imperials havn't seen any yet.) i will allow imperials to RP getting shipments of delta probes. one hit will destroy a delta probe, even if its a low powered blaster shot. an ion blast will cvause the magnetic field holding the pieces together to stop working, and it will fall apart, all the pieces drifting off, making them very hard to capture. the perfect espionage droid for deep space - can do atmosphere but is limited by its lack of manipulator appendages.


OOC:
be easy on the fleet there. At the start of the game i had 1 neb B frigate, 2 modified corvettes (blockade runners) 6 correlian gunboats, and around 24 light freighters, a couple of bul;k freighters and around 40 fighters.

its only now that i am adding a heavy ship into my fleet.

and it ram ships arent realy great for defense, rather they are better for offense

OOC: emperor Joe.

you dont know that i dropped out of hyperspace until you arrive. unless you put a tracking device on one of my ships you wouldnt know where i was if i dropped out of hyperspace unexpectantly

"alert the devastator that we are going after the traitors"
"are all the fighters recalled"
"yes admiral"
"good send the coordinates to all our ships and prepare to make the jump to light speed"

as soon as the fleet entered realspace the admiral saw what the traitors were probably going to do
"alert the other fleet that the ravager and the rest of it's fleet are traitors"
"turn on the gravity wells, and send a message to Maverick tell him he iss trapped and he should surrender if he dosn't want all his people to die

Suddenly two Mon Cal star Ships came out of hyperspace near the Freedoms Price. The Justic and Dauntless began to change vectors as they scanned the other ships around.

"Captain." An Ensign came up to the Captain of the Dauntless.
"Yes, Ensign"
"Picking up a number of Imperial class ships in the region."
"Right, Put out a destress call and prepare to do battle."
"Yes sir"


"This is the Dauntless, Calling all Alliance ships withing Range. We have come out of hyperspace in the Sullast system. Our Hyperdrives are offline and we require assistance. Dauntless out."

"Start engaging the Alliance ships with Ion Cannons. We have to capture them before the others do." Captain Mavrik said. "Cavalry, how much have you repaired?"
"Up to 75%-80%" was the reply.
"Sir, a message from the Interdictor fleet."
"What? Me, surrender? Tell those ships that they must be mistaken. We happen to be helping the others capture this small fleet that just came in! You just want this prize, right?"

"order all ships to fire on the mon cal cruisers, after we kill them everyone fire on the calvary"

OOC I will have 1 super star destroyer and a few normal ones. All up my fleet has 21 impirial ships that muntenyed agaist the impirials and now are with the rebels with the base on Yavin while we bild a space station to move everything on.

IC The ships where moving to the abandoed rebal base to salvage anything they could and make a new type of fighter from anything they could salvege from the base and the ties to suit the troops he had. They would also make a space station to move the base of ops to anywhere they needed. His men where Morehedel (a crossbread between elves and Humans) and where all together ready for anything. If the rebals where would allow him to join The allience he would hit that trade convoy he new was heading for corisont.


Message

To The rebal leader
From F'lar caption of the Star Ravenger.

We wish to join the allience and will await your reply with antisipation.

Out.

The Dauntless changes course towards the Freedoms Price. Its Turbo Lasers firing.

The Justic directs towards the other fleet. Its weapons pounding.

"Sir, We wont stand a chance."
"IM aware of that ensign. How long till we can jump into hyperspace?"
"The Dauntless will be ready before the Justic. 5 minutes tops."
"We may not be here in 5 minutes."

OOC my figthers are the same class used by naboo and hips from the trade federation. They have tanks from the federation along with the transport ships used in episode 2 by the sorm troopers and the transport used by the trade federation in episod 1.

The traitor aboard the Firestorm was found, and thrown out of an airlock.

A private, secure communication shoots from the Freedom's Price to the Dauntless.

[code:1:69c909ffdf]Imperial Encryption Engaged.
Let us capture you. It'll be worse if you get captured by the others out there. Beside, we wish to jump ship, but not in a way that will alert these others until it's too late.[/code:1:69c909ffdf]

If the Imperial fleets descramble the code it will be like this: [code:1:69c909ffdf]You will surrender now, or die, Rebel scum![/code:1:69c909ffdf]

OOC: lesser Tsurani, You can't have an SSD. I'm not sure if you can have 21 ships, either. Tone it down a bit.

"Sir, Recieving encrypted transmission. Its the FireStorm. Its one of those ships that attacked us."
"On Screen."

"Let us capture you. It'll be worse if you get captured by the others out there. Beside, we wish to jump ship, but not in a way that will alert these others until it's too late."

"End transmission. And take us with in range of the ship. Power down weapons."

The Dauntless moves towards the Firestorm, while the Justic continues to do battle with the Firestorms persuers.

[code:1:b88e08e52b]We will board you, to complete the charade. Just so you know to recieve us.[/code:1:b88e08e52b]

A few assault boats were launched from the Star Destroyer. One of them held the Captain, and they all held stormtroopers.

The Imperial fleet slowly moved towards the rebel ships.
"Imperial Task Force- We are moving to help you capture the rebels."
Evanston smiled. The other commander may get the rebels while they were occupied, but he would get the glory.
"Ensign, jam the other fleet's communications."
"Sir?"
"You heard me. They are suspected of being rebel sympathizers. And get out a holonet transmission. I want the authorities to be notified we have found and are engaging a rebel fleet."
"Uh, yes sir."

Jamming began at once, as the ships began to slowly split and come around so as to get the best fire lanes o the rebel ships. Thich incidentally happened to be around the outside of the SSD perimeter, in the best encirclement position possible. The ships began to train their guns inwards, as TIEs prepared to launch out of fighter bays.

OOC- Where will this go? You have your communications jammed and ships maneuvering around you and you don't know why. Wonder what you'll assume...

"Sir! We're being jammed!" an officer yelled in the assault ship.
"What?! Who?" The captain exclaimed.
"Unknown, sir! I suspect one of the fleets!"
"Evanston." The captain growled. "What are you planning? An attack on an Imperial task force? Two fleets? The whole crowd just so you can get all the glory?" he spat out the word like a curse.
It's like a game of sabacc, but the stakes are higher, much higher. Two fleet commanders, two strategy-minded leaders.
"Get back to the Price, now!" He ordered his pilot. "That's an order!"
The ship turned around, and so did the others. As he got out of the ship, he ordered. "Get the fleet on the defense, I don't want everyone to get killed by a wrong mistake! Use couriers to have my orders carried out!"
"Yes, sir!"

The Dauntless wasted no time in tractoring the assult boats aboard. If this was a trap, they will deal with that later.

The captain looked around. The Sensors were working but the Comm system was not.
"Sir, there all aboard"
"Lets go. Laser signle the Justic."
"Right."

The justic and dauntless broke off what they were doing.

(OOC: Not sure if you have any indictors, so i'll assume you dont)

The Justic and Dauntless jumped into hyperspace, towards a vast location.

OOC OK I will have 5 ships 3 of which are star destroyers 1 is a rebal cruser and The flagship is a Desorlater ( use in the chaos fleet I asme it is ok to use this)

The fleet of 4 Star Destroyers proceeded towards the Commenor System. All if its crew were hoping for a little shore leave, and a chance to get out of their ships and take a look around at the planet's famous sites.
Or, at least, that's what they hoped people would think.
Rebel High Command, desperate for a victory after the evacuation of Yavin 4, was sending a small strike force to do some damage on Commenor. If the Rebels could penetrate such a heavly defended Imperial planet as this, then it would show the Imperials that the Rebels, while still scattered, were not to be taken lightly.
The plan went this way: 3 of the Imp Stars would stay within the mass shadow of Commenor's outermost moon, and make an in-system jump only if needed. The reamaining Imp Star would drop of a shuttle full of "officers and pilots" (the commandos), and then make a jump out-system. Then, the Imp Star would take a gamble and rendezvous with the 3 other Imp Stars, waiting the required 5 days before they were supposed to pick up the "crew" from shore leave"; of course, they were ready to jump in a lot sooner than that.
Finally, the first Imp Star unloaded its shuttle, the mission going fine so far. Now, it was up to the commandos en route to the planet: would this mission succeed, or not?

"Sir, the Rebel ships left for hyperspace!"
"Great." The captain said. "Send a courier to Evanston's fleet with this message." He wrote something on a piece of paper, and gave it to his aide.
The aide asked for a shuttle, and headed out for Everston's fleet.

The contents:
[code:1:94886989d5]Will pursue enemy ships. May the best fleet win.[/code:1:94886989d5]

After that shuttle left, hyperspace engines powered up, and the task force jumped into hyperspace.

Commander Corlis Maksyn was on one of the other assault ships when it was tractored. As he disembarked, he felt the air was humid, and searched for a high-ranking officer among the suspicious Rebels.

Thwe Dauntless and Justic jumped out of hyperspace in the Commenor System.

"Oh, F&$%&" The ensign swore.
"Ensign!"
"Sorry sir, just we jumped out where there is a star destroyer."
"Have they spotted us?"
"Dont think so."
"Right, hide behind that planet and lower everything but lifesupport."
"Yes sir"

Both ships move behind the closest planet, and shut down engines, shields, weapons etc. But the dauntless left sensors online.

dang this rp exploded.
Srry I havnt been on to play as the empire. My computer has been on the fritz.
IC:
"Sir, our pilots are ready to commence the war games." 1st Lt.Gregors announced.
"Tell them to commence with the exercise." Admiral Lugar ordered.
"Yes, sir!" repsonded Lt. Gregors.
On the vidscreen an armada of assualt ships manuvered into position around an interdicter Star Deystroyer.
"Armada in position sir." a young bridge officer anounces.
"Good, tell the 'Delifance' to power up her generators." Lugar orders," beta flight should be flying through the hyperspace lane now."
The 'Delifance' powers up its gravity well generators effectively cutting off
any hyperspace traffic.

OOC I will have 1 super star destroyer and a few normal ones. All up my fleet has 21 impirial ships that muntenyed agaist the impirials and now are with the rebels with the base on Yavin while we bild a space station to move everything on.

occ they couldn't have went to hyperspace i had 2 interdictors

OOC Can I use a desorlator. PLESE

OOC: now im really really lost....

go away for 4 days and suddenly the rp explodes and a space bettle has been fought...


IC:
At the smuggler base, the calamari cruiser 'well-rat' was being commisioned, flanked by the recently commisioned maurauder corvette 'currey' the smuggler fleet was amasing quite a force, it would now be able to repel a small assault force on the base.

OOC I will assume that the scilence means i can.

OOC: I don't know. What is a desorlator?

OOC2: Sorry about forgetting about the Interdictors. Let's just say that we moved out of the influence of the projectors before jumping.

IC:
The task force also jumped to Commenor, and sensors indicated that there is an Imperial fleet in the area, on planetary leave, it looks like.
"Well, we'd best be careful here, too." The captain said.

Meanwhile, aboard the Dauntless, Commander Corlis Maksyn stepped out of the assault ship that ws tractored in, along with his stormtrooper guards.

occ i guess that's all right

ic "**** they got away again"
"alert the other imperial fleet that the ravager fleet are traitors,then we will go back to fondor"
"send the widowmaker (neb b)to see how the devastator's doing and tell the other neb bs we left with the devastator to report back to fondor and tell the devastator we will repair it in our shipyards if the commamnder wishes

One of the guards on that Dauntless turns the the commander.
"Ok, Drop your weapons. Nice and easy." He looked around. Every guard in the docking bay had their weapons pointed at the stormtroopers.

"Stand down, and safety your weapons." The Commander ordered his stormtroopers. They compiled. "I am Commander Maksyn, XO of the Freedom's Price, formerly the Ravager. I have been charged by my captain to formally defect to the Rebellion. I believe the capships are right behind us."

On cue, the now-munitious fleet jumped insystem, and just pretended to be a minor Imperial task force seething at a Rebel victory.

sorry :oops: , school is realy annoying

All hands to battlestations, this is not a drill. Piet listened to the alarm and nodded. 4 Blockade runners had appeared in front of his small ship. tHe executor was in for repairs, and so was most of the fleet. The four ships would decimate his Victory star destroyer. "Launch all ties. By us some time. Warn all imperial ships within 5 minutes distance. We need to survive long enouph for the backup to arrive." He heard several reports of incoming ships. Notably, the Interdictor Cruiser Dark Blast, useful for kind of situation where they didn't want any survivors. 4 Victory star destroyers on their way, ETA 1 minute. "Were taking heavy fire sir!" shouted his damage control officer. "Sir, they have 24 turbolasers on all their ships combined, and if we don't do something about it, we'll be ripped apart." The luetenant shook his head. "They've launched their own fighters." Boom "Damage report!" shouted the admiral. "Shields are down, main turbolasers down, Tie losses 95%." The luetenant was scared, it showed in his paling face. "Sir!" shouted his Fire control officer, "We have disabled 1 of the Corvettes," then he saw his his navigational officer laugh. "The cavalry has arrived." 6 Victory Star destoyers, the Dark Blast, and 4 Imperial star destroyers all appeared around the Rebel corvettes. As they retreated, the fire ovewhelmed all but 1 ship, which soon remembered the Dark Blast's gravity well generators.

I am imperial. But seeing how this has gone way to far for me to join in the middle of it. I'll just become a commentator.And turn all my fleets over to the first Imperials who speaks first.

The guard laughed, but lowered his weapon, The others did not.
"Your capital ships wont find us in the astroid belt." He said, pointing out the window.

occ im an imperial iill take all your fleets just tell me what all you got

ic the widowmakeer came out of hyperspace in commenor the devatator and five neb bs were still there

"this is the widowmaker from the fondor fleet, the traitors got away all the neb bs are to return to fondor the admiral said you can come to devastator and we will repar you"

The guard laughed, but lowered his weapon, The others did not.
"Your capital ships wont find us in the astroid belt." He said, pointing out the window.

OOC: The Dauntless and Justic are in an astroid belt that gives off interferance.
Also the systems are all power down, so, scanners wont pick it up. :P

The Desorlater moved towards the small ship. How foolish to have no markings giving him the perfect excuse to attack and if anyone questioned him he would just say "It had no markings how was I sopposed to know it was carring weapons to the Impirial base."
He made a signel to the weapons area.
"Fire on my order all canons and try only to disengage its sheilds"

OOC I know this has nothing to do with the story but we are otfitting our men as we are not normal storm troopers. We are conscripeds from a planet that was conquered long ago.

OOC: Guess it OK for me to join in then. my fleet will be as follows

60 Skipray blastboats
12 X-Wings
6 B-Wings
16 A-Wings
100 Corellian Y-2100 light frieghters (heavily modified for extra cargo space, shields and sensors - only one light gun turret)

Not yet :twisted:

i said in that post to make it heavily coded enough so it would take you at least 5 hours to decode it, and after i dropped out of hyperspace, if i re jumped you wouldnty know how far or which direction :)

BIC: "Fine, but storm troppers stay here." He said, and turned towards the door. "This way please."

Having ordered the stormtroopers to stay in the hangar bay, Commander Maksyn followed the guard.

The guard walks through three rooms before coming to a stop out side of an office labled Commander Parker.

"You will go in here. I will leave you now. Be warned through. There are guards and weapons all over the ship, so dont try anything foolish." The guard turned and leaved.

"As you wish." The Commander said, and entered the office. Inside, he saw...

occ after acquiring granendalfs fleet i now have 1 super stardestroyer 54 mark 2 stardestroyers 120 carrack 100 neb b 5 interdictors 10 stardestroyers and 14 victory stardestroyers
my admiral is now on the ssd

ic "sir we have been getting reports of some rebel sypathisers raiding our ships in the hoth sector"
"send 14 victorys 10 stardestroyers and 20 carracks to destroy them" the fleet jumped out

"As you wish." The Commander said, and entered the office. Inside, he saw...
Inside, a tall, Brown haird man sat at a desk, with a Data pad infront of him.
"Welcome, im Captain Verbatim, Captain of the Dauntless." He said. "What brings you to this side of the galaxy," he said, eying the blaster the commander was wearing.

OOC: For lack of better name. lol :P

hey yall I haven't posted in a bit so some one that is on the rebellion side that is still playing can have my fleet. It lists my fleet on the first couple of pages so someone take it and have fun! :P

I'kll take your fleet for you, thanks.

THIS IS AN OPEN BRODCAST TO ANY MILITARY FORCES IN THIS SECTOR, I REPEAT THIS IS AN OPEN BRODCAST TO ANY MILITARY FORCES IN THE SULLUST SECTOR....

I am Cap-ten Lontzam offering my mercinary services to any who wish to purchess them, for a suitable price of cource. my fleet is old but my crews and techs are good and with the right reasources we could be a significant fighting force a documentation of my fleet follows

3 cruisers, Class to be disclosed upon contract
4 frigates, same situation as above
10 modifyed medium transports
60 fighters, same situation as first two
a few nice suprises

once again, my fleet is mostly old republic era and must be refurbished

payment can be made in imperial credits, raw materials, or ships

plesure doing buissness with you
:mesage ends:

Evanston frowned. They had gotten away, to who knows where, and that damned other fleet had interfered with the tracking signals.
"Sir, we've got a fleet coming out of the shadow of the planet."
Evanston turned. "This may be interersting. Who is it?"
"Rouges sir. Mercs. Offering their services to the highest bidder."
Evanston smiled. Sucess would not elude him. "Bring us around. Keep formation. Close to close range. Oh, and hail them. I want their leader on board and their ships close to us."
"Yes sir. Communication going out."

THYe fleet accelerated towards the battered ships, TIEs still in the launch bays and shields still up. Upon nearing the ships, the TIEs billowed out, in an awesome display of Imperial might. The ships slowly turned and presented their broadsides to the mercenaries. And the Imperials waited for a reply.

BUMP to all in this.

OOC: Ok, thats it, im coming out of hiding to piss off some imps.

Several weeks after the hitts had being dropped off at the location they desired, the Lapse smuggler commander was getting restless. The imperials had causedhim and his family much grief in the past. The ruthless animals had destroyed his family when he was a child nad he had being forced to grow up himself in the underworld or correllia. It was time to take the offensive against the imps.

The commander walked over to a star map. On this map the bases of all imperial and rebels were marked. Either side would kill for this information if they knew it existed. As he studied the map, a small isolated imperial trade base caught his eye. It was at least 10 hours from help. On a closer look, he realised that it was relatively lightly defended with only a single Victory class star destroyer and a few frigates. He made his descision then. He would capture this base.

"Order the fleet to prepare for hyperspace"he told a suboordinate

IC: I been out of it for so long I don't even know whats going on. So any RP I posted, Forget it. I never left Courasant. Is this still going?

Its called Star Wars Galaxies people...go buy it NOW!!!

Best game in the GALAXY!

"CAP!"
The Bothan on sensors's fur was sanding on end as he nearly hyperventilated from hysterics
"The Imperial fleet is launching TIE's"
"Calm down crewman, TIE's don't have shields, our Anti-Fighter turrets on the Lohebad will shred that wing"
"Sir the imperial fleet is hailing us, the want a meeting with you on their flagship"
well wasn't that like the Imperials? Lontzam mused. They come up guns blazing knowing full well that they could destroy my battered fleet, how long had it been since those ships had had an overhaul. Then rather than reducing my whole force to a fragment of inter-steller plasma, they draw you close enough to get rid of you the way that the powerfull had rid themselves of annoyinces a quiet blaster to the temple.

"tell them I'll be over in one of our Z-95's and wake Baired I've got a special mission for him"

the Imperial Navy would soon discover that the Terminia Fleet where not mere pirates turned mercaneries.

All 5 ships where moving towards the planet saw the battle between the rouges and Impirials.

"Sir can you see that, they are moving in on each other." Said The piolt of the Desolator. "Looks like we piked the wrong planet to meet the station."
mused Sardukar. He had the station on the other side of the moon and wif discoved it would be toast. He made a mental note to equipt it with weapons the next chance he got. Damn those Impirials he would have to spend most of his pay on this endevor on the repair and feeding his men and ships because they could not kill a reabel allience in the time it took him to sipithize him.

I dont know where the hell my chars are, so i'll place them in this battle...

IC: "Captain"
"Yes ensign" The captain said to the comlink.
"You better get up here sir, Loads of ships just showed on the sensors. Sensors indictate the Desolator. I think its a allied ship."
"Lets give it a hand." The captain said, getting up. "Nice meating you Commander, now if you dont mind." He said and hurryed to the bridge. The justic and the Dauntless had their systems powered up by the time he got there.
"Lets go, nice and easy."
Both ships moved into sensor range of both sides. Keeping their shields and full power, the weapons began blazing at the imperial star destroyers. The two ships launched several X-wings, who moved towards the battle.

"All right." The Commander decided to watch the battle unfold.

Meanwhile, the rogue task force of the Justice decided to aid the Rebels, and the rogue Star Destroyers also started blazing away at the Impstars and launched lighter colored TIEs to distinguish from the enemy.

ooc:accidently submited multiple times

"Okay you self-ritous Imperial gornt feed, just because you own the galaxy dosn't mean you can come launch you fighters and target us with your turbolasers, I have good mind to join the Rebellion right here and now"
the diminuitive Sullutian screamed making some rather rude mid rim gestures at the Stormtroopers surounding him.
"Sir" asked one of the offended gaurds "should I just get him out of our way."
"Don't try that!" belowed the pirate "I've got a sensor planted under my jacket and a little sac of a nerve toxin that'll kill every one on this bridge who isn't wearing a resperator."
he had just risked his life on the infamous Imperial gullibility, knowing that if they checked him over he was good as dead.
"Listen Admiral or whoever you are, put your opening offer on the table or my fleet will turn and leave, I hope you arn't as stupid as you are confident pal because if you try somthing funny you're going to regret it"
Meanwhile a tiny fighter took of from the surface and before either side noticed it was gone

ooc: is this sim pre or post Hoth

OOC-Khandibar, you are not on the bridge yet. You'll be treated to a little display of... Imperial might... in the landing bay first.

Evanston smiled. Judgiing from the message of one of the stormtrooper officers, the ...guests...had arrived.
"What is it commander?"
"Sir! One of the merc scum says that they have nerve gas on their body!"
"Well, how many essential personnel are down there without rebreathers?"
"Not many sir. This is a landing bay after all."
"Well, I think we can call his bluff. Simply remind him how little the Empire cares for the deaths of a few dozen techs."
"Yes sir."
Another channel was quickly opened up by Evanston. "Put plan Alpha-12 into motion."
"Yes sir."
That channel clicked off as well.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Docking bay A-2
------------------------------------
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp- The sound of marching stormtroopers drew nearer. The nervous mercenaries peered around at their escort, which had just doubled in size. The new troopers signaled to the leader of the band of mercanaries. "You, come with us. You're to meet with the admiral. The rest of you stay here."

well, no. they would hve moved to hoth during 4 and 5. and they would have moved to Yavin 4 between 3 and 4. between 5 and 6 who knows where they are. probably just floating artound in space.

OCC:Sorry I wasn't able to post last month, for some reason the forum wouldn't work for me. Lotsa "The page cannot be displayed" messages. Anyways, the Rebellion didn't move to Hoth until about 2 1/2 years after the Battle of Yavin. Now I need to review the rest of the topic and I can pick up where I left off...

OOC: Hey guys, can I join in? I'm a big star wars fan and it sounds interesting

OCC:Well, no one's posted in a while...2 weeks, seems like.


IC:The battered Imperial fleet finally arrived back at Commenor and spread out around the planet. The Devastator joined the Vengeance in the repair docks. Drisna frowned as he checked the planet's spaceport records.
"That's odd...it says a Star Destroyer stopped here and dropped off some officers for shore leave...Why wasn't I notified? There aren't any leaves scheduled for the next two weeks! Tell the planetary governor to get an arrest warrant out on those "officers"!"

OOC: Okay here goes...


In the Blockade Runner Talus Captain Elesto looked out of the Bridge window at the battered Imperial fleet. They'd spread themselves evenly over the planet, and it didn't look like the Rebel Blockade Runner would make it through.

"Crewman." Elesto said. A crew member walked up to him. "Yessir?" he asked, holding his Blaster. Elesto turned, to him. "Send a message to Alliance High Command, tell them that Commenor has be re-taken by the Imperials. They seem to be battered and worn down, so I sugest we attack soon, and do some serious damage." he said. The crewman nodded and walked off.

"Helm, take a quick ring around the Commenor and then enter Hyperspace. i want to see how many ships there are." Elesto said.
"Aye sir." Helmsman Kishner said. Turning the ship he activated the engines, and started to head closer towards Commenor...

"Sir" the distraught captan of the CEC corvette Firestreak muttered over the private com chanel the ship commanders shared
"Cesa hasn't responded for a while "I must offer a personal tactical recomendation permision to continue sir"
Kerlbin coughed heartely regreting, not for the first time, Lontzam's descion to recruit form planetary millitas
"Comrade, this isn't the navy; I may be in charge, but i can no more order you around than you could me, we're democratic, say what you want"
"If our men aren't back, for better or for worse, in ten standard hours, we make a run for it"
"Sithspawn captan! those are imperial TIE/in fighters, the Firestreak might escape, but the Yutahold would be chewed to bit's, think can we afford to lose a Kaloth Battlecruise just like that, that ship is the only technologicly modern tin can we've got."
"will you at least withdraw Sigma and send them to Falleen"
"Consider it done"

the merc toasted to the imperial admiral. he may have been some tactical genius, good with psychological warfare, but he had no decent sense in how to conduct good buisness.

OOC: Khandibar, where are you posistioned?

hello old chaps i saw this and i would like to join it if that is possible i would like to join on the side of the empire please reply with a yes or no

OOC: Heh, it's an open RPG, jsut pick a system and join in, Commenor is taken by me, check the board to see what planets are left open for imps.

OCC:Er...I'm in Commenor, though Crystata has positioned a large fleet in the shadow of the moon without my knowledge.

IC:Sir, one of the patrols reports a Corellian Corvette in system. Wait, it just jumped to hyperspace," the sensor officer reported.

"What could he be doing, I wonder? Signal Coruscant. I want some reinforcements, preferable 2 Star Destroyers and support vessels. That'll replace our losses. We've fought 3 seperate Rebel fleets over the past few hours, and knowing our luck, another's on it's way." Drisna said. He frowned. Something was troubling him...those "officers" on shore leave. Probably Rebel infiltrators...They had to have a way to extract them somehow...a small ship wouldn't stand a chance, now that a warrant was out for their arrest and the fleet in orbit...that meant there had to be another fleet nearby.

"Double the patrols. Get fighters out to every corner of this system. Be sure to check asteriod belts, rings, and in the sensor shadow of the system's moons. There has got to be Rebels around here somewhere...."

ooc:what the hell..i'll just be a bunch of thugs that sit around Dathomir..with stolen ships.

Itzosxis Owwi was in the bridge of his modified Star Destroyer. His minor fleet was orbiting Dathomir. The Trandoshan was going to intercept a group of supply carry transports for the Imperial prison on Dathomir.

ooc: My little fleet 1 Star Destroyer
3 Corellian cruisers
1 Bothan ship
and a mass of fighters

Within a few hours Elesto had got the word out to the Rebellion, been promoted to Admiral, and started to lead his new fleet to Commenor. Elesto decided this was a GREAT day, and sat in his Command Chair sighing.

He looked over to Ensign Nosho. "Ensign, report on our ships?" Elesto asked. The Ensign pulled it up on her console. " Everything seems to be in order. Although the Nebulon-B Frigate Chastler had problems with their Hyperdrive, but they've reported it's sorted out." the Ensign replied. Elesto nodded and watched the Blue flurry of Hyperspace speed past him...

Within an hour the Rebel Fleet pulled out of Hyperspace 5KM away from the damaged Imperial Fleet. Five Correlian Gunships, two Calamari Cruisers, three Blockade Runners, one Nebulon-B Frigate and a Troop Transport each came out, guns locked on target. The Rebel Fighters launched and started patrolling around the Rebel Fleet. Elesto hailed all channels: "To all Imperial ships, this is Captain Kartion Elesto of the Alliance to restore the Republic! Power down your weapons and shields and prepare to surrender!" he boomed. He stopped hailing, anmd waited for the Imperial's response...

OOC: Guys what's happening here? Why isn't anyone responding to posts or anything? I really want to do this, so c'mon and make this a post worthy for the archives! If anyone else wants to join in it's kool as far as I'm concerned.

OOC: sorry school got really tough for a while, and by the way I am stationed in Eriadu near Sullust but I'm unsure of my current location.

In The Falleen system
IC: :Distress call to the Star Destroyer Justice, our force of civillian merchants is being assaulted by a Imperial Fleet, Please send aid.:

At the flashpoint
"Lontzam this is Kerlbin,"
"Go ahead"
"we should withdraw sigma, in the event of a firefight we don't want the whole fleet gone"
"Kerlbin, if Sigma withdraws, we will lose over half of our fighters with it, if the imperials pursue Sigma they cannot survive without Shimil and Say and vica versa"
"We could lay an ambush"
"Withdraw Sigma 1,2,3,4,5 and Sigma Beta 1"
"Yes Lontzam"
for the first time the Merc Fleet aimed its turrets at the Imperial Frigates and Cruisers, Avoiding the massive Destroyer, doing there best to appease the Admiral
