For the people who have signed up :Industrial Experiment, Xessmithia, Free Eagles, Chronosia, Christoniac, Rinceweed, Gronde, Falcania (and myself) have to list what we're using in the RP here. Include main characters (coppied, or origonal(made up)), Ships, space stations, land assault vehicals, and troop choice you will be using. I'll be posting up the rules.

EDIT: This list is staying as it is. There will be no more sign ups as of now. Again, you have till wednesday to post up your navy/army/characters.

Put me down for the Romulans

Put me down for the Romulans

Confirmed (Yea! Romulons are involved!) I need to know what you're using though, how many, and what characters.

Please put me down for Borg. I will list my stats later.

hmmm

Please put me down for Borg. I will list my stats later.

Confirmed. Don't forget your characters, being borg generic, or made up.

Don't forget! You may include your own origonal technologies that could be ST, SW, or 40k related! I myself have my own list of technologies that I'll be posting up soon.

I think thats about it, is it too excessive? Considering i send at the most only 3 ships per fleet.

Wow, this sounds pretty cool. I wish I could join, but it's been my experience that RP's on this site demand that you're online 24/7, and I don't have that kind of time on my hands.

Not really. Considering the size of my fleet, and army. You and The Phoenix Milita are both going up against two chaos hordes factions, one tau faction (one unsure), three Galactic Empire Factions, one Sith faction (me), one Blood Angels Faction, one Space Wolfs Faction and one inquisiton faction. This RP will get very nasty.

I'm new to Rp's too. I just thought this would be a cool idea and I got a lot of responces. So, Ryanania you could just choose a faction if you wish. This could be your first, big RP. Who knows? Your universe may win (ultimatly, that means all participants of the universe win).

The problem is that I'm an intelligence specialist in the US Navy, and I hardly have any time to go online these days, and I don't want to take a faction only to end up neglecting it.

Good idea for an RP, though.

Then i better increase my numbers........lol......

Cool, good luck in the Navy.

I'm very interested in playing Pre-Civil War era Empire. Just when they develop gravity well generators, just before the Battle of Yavin, etc. I'd prefer to be in command of the imperial navy, but I'll take whatever chunk of it I can get.

EDIT:

If you want me to list my groupings...

I'll be as accurate as possible.
8 Executor Class Star Dreadnoughts *
1 Mandator Class Star Dreadnought
4 Admiral Giel Class Star Battleships

3000 Ranat Type-B Class Star Destroyer ^^^
5000 Harrow Class Star Destroyer **^
2000 Battle Class Star Destroyer *^^
12000 Victory Class Star Destroyer **

Several tens of thousands of frigates and corvettes of a few dozen different classes, notables being the Lancer Class, the Dreadnought Class, amd the Carrack Class

An un-determinably large number of star fighters, mainly Tie/ln Space superiority fighters, TIE Interceptors, TIE Bombers, and a limited run of TIE Advanced/Avengers

* 9 including the Lusankya, but that's buried on Coruscant

** This is an old, very out-dated design, hence the large numbers

*** Presumably, one of the newer designs, hence the smaller numbers

^ Though produced in relativily small numbers for its ship type, usually seen in high concentrations during large fleet actions and related activities

^* As the personal command ship of Darth Vader prior to the completion of the Executor, this is merely an upgraded version of the rest of the class

^^* As the standard Imperial archetype of its ship-type, this class is the most common but also the most diffuse in terms of patrol assignments

^^^ The Ranat Class Destroyers are special case destroyers, originally meant to fill the role that the Imperator class ended up in, the two types of Ranat class destroyers were to be paired together, one type A and one type B, with the type A being mainly anti-capitalship and the type B being mainly a carrier, but the Imperator managed to accomplish both of these roles in one ship. Thus, the limited run of Ranat class ships were generally given to the command of minor officers at outposts along the rim of the Empire

**^ Meant to be a replacement for the aging Victory class, the Harrow class was yet another victim of the success of the Imperator class. They were generally given to small-time sector moffs or kept in reserve for minor fleet actions

*^^ A very early precursor to the Victory class, the Battle class ships are now most scrapped or disarmed and sold into the private sector. A small number, however, have been maintained by the Imperial Navy as back-up ships for patrolling Victory and Imperator class vessels

PLEASE NOTE

While these numbers may seem god-modishly large, please remember that all of these ships are spread thoughout an Empire of over a million inhabited and patrolled systems. Yes, this is more than 200,000 ships in total, but the number that could ever really be brought to bear for any one battle would be an insignificant fraction of an insignificant fraction of a percent of the total force.

I'm very interested in playing Pre-Civil War era Empire. Just when they develop gravity well generators, just before the Battle of Yavin, etc. I'd prefer to be in command of the imperial navy, but I'll take whatever chunk of it I can get.

Doesn't matter to me if you choose to be a part of the imperial navy, army, or Juma Juice salesman (sarcasim by the way).

Bump.

I would like to claim the tyranids! I will post stats and what not later.

Interesting fleet you got there I.E. Where did you find all of the other ships? I had no idea there were so many different types of star destroyers (is there a site for this?).

Confirmed. List updated.

I've already claimed CSM; since its only 2 claiming them so far; can we split the legions down the middle?

Most of the class names are based entire on things I thought up that fit their abilities. Several of the stories are there to explain how they got into their current positions in the Imperial Navy, with the Ranat class being the only one with an "official" (meaning published) story.

ooh ooh ooh can I PLEASE be the Culture? All I want is a general service vessel and a couple of rapid offencive units =)

Say...

GSV Ships Have Feelings Too
ROU Did I Mean To Do That?
ROU Life's Better When It's Artificial
ROU Unexpected Situation
ROU Move It Or Lose It
ROU Suffusion of Yellow

For some reason this didn't tag... so umm... TAG

Funny. I've come across this sight several times. I should pay more attention. I'll probably up date my store front to include these ships....

I've already claimed CSM; since its only 2 claiming them so far; can we split the legions down the middle?

Well, you would have to negociate that with Christoniac. Otherwise I'd say yes. I'm more in charge of the SW universe though...

Bump.

Culture is the Culture universe... It wouldn't really be fair though. In one of the wars the Culture was involved with, only six starts were destroyed. Casualties on both sides (including sentient machines) were about half a trillion. Fifty six planets destroyed, and more orbital habitats burned. And the Culture's main issue with the war was that it was boring. And really, I can't see anything standing up to an escort drone's compliment of semi-sentient knife missiles short of... I can't actually think of anything.

The Culture is a utopian society of sentient AIs and humans. The humans (a generic term for bipedal interfertile carbon/water based lifeforms) can change gender at will, regrow major body parts, turn pain on and off, and have a large pharimcopia of drug producing glands that can generate virtually any drug. Other, more specialized adaptations usually done to mercenaries or Special Circomstances agents include poison resevoirs beneath fingernails and in teeth, and the ability to sweat a mild acid.

Computers are fully sentient (and very crazy) and they basically run the culture as they are smarter than humans ever will be and can actually arrange things so that no one in the Culture has any wants. It's a perfect communism, simply because there is enough of everything. Drones are AIs in levitating bodies that can project force fields, both defencively and offencively (if you don't see how a force field can be used offencively, you;ve never had a drone project one inside you). Escort drones also carry knife missiles which are smaller, dumber, but faster and deadlier drones. Drones also carry CREWs which are very very powerful frequency jumping lasers.

The ships are sentient, like the drones, and don't really need crews though they like the company. They carry large, military grade Effectors which can take over electrical equipment from a long way away, can travel at about 20 light years an hour, are able to transport things a la startreck (but much more useful and messy... they can ignore sheilds, and you never see startrek vessels transporting away bits of the enemy ship, conversly, if you move suddenly while being transported by a culture ship, you might leave a limb behind), carry heavy CREWS, and even the lightest armed GCU is capable of destroying a planet (with a little work, admitedly).


Can I play them please? They won't be invincible... they try not to get into wars. Unless they're interesting wars. Likely they'll just be in an interesting battle or two. And it's really just a chance to RP smartass ships and drones.

Alright here is the first of 3 hivefleets. It is hivefleet behemoth.

The Tyranids

Hive Fleet Behemoth
1 Great Devourer Hive Ship

10 Pyro Acid Hive Ships
Pyro Acid Batteries all around

30 Ferocious Hive Ships
Feeder Tentacles/ Enormous Claws, Bio Plasma Discharge, Pyro Acid Battery

30 Terror Hive Ships
Torpedoes, Launch Bay, Launch Bay

30 Consumer Hive Ships

75 Pyro Heavy Escorts
2 Pyro Acid Batteries

150 Consumer Heavy Escorts
Feeder Tentacles

125 Torpedo Heavy Escorts

150 Invader Heavy Escorts
Launch Bays

200 Pyro Acid Medium Escorts
Pyro Acid Battery

200 Consumer Medium Escorts
Feeder Tentacles

200 Torpedo Medium Escorts
Torpedoes

Does that seem like too much? Remember they are weaker than the average ship, so they rely on huge numbers. Also the hive fleets will show up sporadically. If one is wiped out before another shows up, you should be able keep the numbers reasonable.

Other things:
The Shadow in the Warp
Tyranids cause a massive disturbance in the warp where ever they are in large numbers. This brings anything that uses the warp to a grinding halt. I dont know how this would affect star wars or star trek, but I asked some people and they thought it would:
Disable the force
Prevent Warp Speed in Star Trek
Make Life hell for scottie ;)

It is up to you to decide whether it would affect those things, but that is just what I heard.

It is up to you to decide whether it would affect those things, but that is just what I heard.

Actually, no it is hardly big enough. But since you are adding in two other fleets, then it probably would be. After all, you are going against my Star Forge, which has the ability to spit out 10,000 ships a year (really! Play KOTOR if there is any doubt. The sith ending gives you the example of how many ships the Star Forge can produce). For this RP, Navy is going to be the most important, for anyone could bombard a planet and decimate the troops down below... If they want to be cheap.

On the scientific scale, almost nothing can Disable the force, except for special force adapted creatures (read the Trawn series for more detail). So far as I know of, the only way you could disable the force would be if you are a SW nation. I beleive the Yuusong Vong had special abilities to somewhat disable the force...

Also, just so everyone knows. When they consume a planet, their numbers increase by almost double as every ship calves. This is of course only from the remaining ships. Dead ones can't double.

Also, for ground operations. The larger ships hold about 1 million nids each and the smaller ones hold around 250k.

Also look out for splinter fleets. They are small fleets, less then a hundred ships, but they can move about almost undetected.

Sorry, I only just found this thread. I'll post my numbers for the Old Republic just as soon as I put them together.
Does anyone know if they had any big star cruisers, or do those huge transports count?

Considering that this is a WH40K/SW/ST Rp I doubt you can play the Culture.

Oh and IE can I use some of your fleet as a we're the GE?

Actually falcania, I'm also kind of a trekie. That is one of the reasons why I included it in this thread. I know a lot of what happens/ed in the ST universe, as well as the SW, and 40k.

Not much of a Battlefleet man, But I'll do my best. Watch

---> <--- that space for details.

Hehe put me on ST deffintly!!!!

Considering that this is a WH40K/SW/ST Rp I doubt you can play the Culture.

Oh and IE can I use some of your fleet as a we're the GE?

Of course, that's the entire GE fleet as far as I've been able to gather. Considering the placement is pre-Yavin, Zarin was still in the Emperor's good graces and most likely not even considering going traitor yet, so I wouldn't mind playing as him. You could be a different admiral and we could turn this into a decidedly more character oriented RP. Or you could always be Vader =P

We do need someone to play as Clone Emperor Era GE, though, Galaxy Gun, Centerpoint Station, Sun Crusher, all that hat.

SW Galactic Empire for me

I'll be using mostly space forces:
800 Victory-class Star Destroyers
100 Interdictor-class Cruisers
300 Leviathan-clas sStar Destroyers
300 Conqueror-class star destroyers
2 Super-clas sStar Destroyers
Assuming that each star destroyer can carry 6 wings (3 squadrons of 12 in each wing) of TIEs, each Interdictor with 2 wing, and that an SSD Can carry 15 wings of TIES, i'll state the amount of ties i have:

8630 total TIE wings:
3236 (3/8) are TIE Fighter wings
2157 (1/4) are TIE Interceptor wings
2156 (1/4) are TIE bomber wings
1079 (1/8) are TIE Advanced wings

Each wing is 3 squadrons, so i have
25890 TIE squadrons:
9708 (3/8) are TIE Fighter wings
6471 (1/4) are TIE Interceptor wings
6468 (1/4) are TIE bomber wings
3237 (1/8) are TIE Advanced wings

And given that each squadron is 12 fighters (At least in the SW universe a full squadron is) I have:
310680 TIEs:
116496 (3/8) are TIE Fighter wings
77652 (1/4) are TIE Interceptor wings
77616 (1/4) are TIE bomber wings
38844 (1/8) are TIE Advanced wings

I would go into the amount of weaponry total, but that isn'tnesicary

I'm joining as the Tau, posting my fleet later.

Definetly my Hunter Cadre is from one of the more militaristic Tau worlds.

I wanna see how Tau ships would compete versus the ships of Star Trek......

Finalised fleet list:

3 Space Marine Battle Barge: Spirit of the Primarch (with Commander of the Fleet & Honour Guard), Wings of the Falcon, Wrath of Sanguinius

10 Space Marine Strike Cruisers: Endurance, Persistance, Diligence, Harmony, Resonance, Perseverance, Severity, Courage, Heroism, Retribution

10 squads of 5 Firestorm, 5 Sword and 5 Cobra rapid strike vessels each: Victory group, Destiny group, Serenity group,

Inhibitance group, Mortality group, Destructor group, Annihilator group, Radiance group, Vigilance group, Luminance Group

2 wings of 75 Nova and 75 Gladius frigates each: Equinox wing and Solstice wing

500 Hunter Class Destroyers

2000 Imperial Transports

Totals:
3 Battle Barges
10 Strike Cruisers
150 Rapid strike vessels
300 Frigates
500 Destroyers
2000 Transports

All painted in charming Blood Red...

Can I play spieces 8472?

Sigh. So no Culture I assume? Pity.

Sigh. So no Culture I assume? Pity.

WTF doesn't quite cover that post.

Upper Xen-Tau, confirmed.
Neo Cannen-8472, confirmed.
Stellar Nations-Galactic Empire (definatly now)
The Fedral Union- I need to know what ST faction you're going to play as. I can't just have you sign up as "ST." Who are you?

Can I play spieces 8472?

Some reason, I'm actually pleased that someone chose 8472. This will add more intresting plots for ST. Cool.

Stellar Nations, you are aware that ImpStars carry 6 squadrons of TIEs, not 6 wings, right. And VicStars carry less. The Interdictor class carries 2 squadrons, not 2 wings. I think these are right, but if they're not, I'm pretty damn sure the numbers aren't as high as you suggested. Therefore I assume the SSD only carries 15 squadrons, not wings. Anyone else?

And the SW Old Republic, did they have any proper capital warships at all, or do I steal some from RoTJ? I need this answer now so I can put forces together.

I think they did... But I'm honistly not positive. Try a "Google" search on it.
Something like "Pre-Republic Capital Ships." You could get some results that way.

Of course, that's the entire GE fleet as far as I've been able to gather. Considering the placement is pre-Yavin, Zarin was still in the Emperor's good graces and most likely not even considering going traitor yet, so I wouldn't mind playing as him. You could be a different admiral and we could turn this into a decidedly more character oriented RP. Or you could always be Vader =P

We do need someone to play as Clone Emperor Era GE, though, Galaxy Gun, Centerpoint Station, Sun Crusher, all that hat.


I'm sorta in the Thrawn campaign if the Emperor died but the DS2 never got destroyed and was instead finished. And thanks.

Since I can no find no info on Old Republic vessels, I'm going to use the oldest Imperial ones (Victory Mk.Is, Dreadnoughts, others?).

I also request that the Old Republic have Corellia as its central world for this, as all Old Republic ships come from Corellian drive yards, whereas the GE has Kuat, Fondor, Star Forge, etc. Is this just going to be SW vs 40K vs ST, or are there going to be internal fights as well, eg. GE vs Rebels, CSM vs Tau?

That depends uppon the players will. There could be fights between the GE and Rebels, CSM vs Tau. Or it they wish, they could form alliances with the factions from their universe, or the other universes (likely examples: Tau with Federation ("for the greater good") G.E./S.E. (Sith Empire) with IoM.
CSM with Borg... Etc)

You could use Corellia if you wish. and you may use pre-imperial warships
(Republic Star Destroyer, VSD, ect.). If I end up finding any info about the Old Republic ships.

Well I dont think I am going to be allying with anyone. The nids aren't in the habbit of negotiating. Also if anyone wishes I can start a thread with the frist scouts of hive fleet behemoth entering the galaxy from the void. Wont be anything huge, but they always send in scouts ahead of their fleets to find tasty targets. Just give me telegram.

OOC: Chaos Marines with the Borg!? That would be a terrible thing indeed.....


Anyway, I updated my forces. And my Tau sept world is Tau'n, the explorers' world.

(OOC: At least until the RP starts. Then, the forces you bring are the forces you keep. Unless you count the obvious losses, the stolen ships, the new replacements...

I suggest that people periodically update their list of avaiable forces as the RP goes on. It should sort out some of the confusion that so often plauges so many promising RPs such as this one. )

Is it OK if we kinda point your hive-fleets in the direction of the Empire and let you do the rest? Hehehe, if 40K get teh nids then the Empire is going to become short of a few trillion stormtroopers...

I think the Tech Priests of the Adeptus Mechanus would end up allied with the Necron'tyr and the Borg :p An Axis of Steel like no other; the raw power of the servants of the Machine Gods; with the true Spirits of the Machine

Well, I have begun to clone ancient sith lords. So since my cloning facilities are up and running, I won't have that many problems with replaicing troops. Remember the amount of clones thrawn was able to produce? That was like, within a year(I beleive). So, the Old Republic has a small chance if they decide to use their cloneing options. The S.E. and G.E. can create clones in more than half the time it took the clones in AotC.

I think the Tech Priests of the Adeptus Mechanus would end up allied with the Necron'tyr and the Borg :p An Axis of Steel like no other; the raw power of the servants of the Machine Gods; with the true Spirits of the Machine

Well, considering that no one is playing as the Necrons(or Necron'tyr), this wouldn't happen. REMINDER: There will be no gods, as it is godmodish. That includes the Q, C'tan, Machine Gods, Chaos gods, ect. It just wouldn't add any competition.

Carrack's are another older one, IIRC.

Carrack's are another older one, IIRC.

If I remember correctly, there are pre-empire Tie fighters that the Republic made before it's collapse. They're obviously not as good as the G.E. Tie's...

Fighters I was fine with. Just use Delta-7 Aethersprites. Plus a slightly modified version with internal hyperdrive and a proton torpedo launcher for pilots who aren't Jedi. (dubbed Delta-8 Clonesprite). Plus I get Z-95 Headhunters (Whoop-de-doo [/Sarcasm]). Although TIEs are cool.

Thanks for the Carrack info, IE.

Oh, and Huntaer. I planned to use the cloning facilities from the very beginning. My entire military force is made up of clones. How long did it take to grow new ones? I can't remember.

Ten years for full maturity in the alien cloning facilities, Spaarti (sp) cloning cylinders (the ones in use at Mount Tantis) with force-cancellers nearby are significantly quicker.

Time to talk about tyranids some more... :p

They are opportunistic bastards... They will rarely attack a well defended position, rather feeding on undefended world until they are strong enough to hit a big target. They will often target areas that have just been through hell, another battle, and attack them.

First they discover a planet.
They then send down a scout force of genestealers.
These then just mess with the populous for a generation. (Thats why I want to do a small intro rp now)
Then they show up.
Kill the defenders.
Drain the oceans. Consume ALL bio-mass. And suck out the atmophere.
They then almost double in size (if it was about and earth sized planet) and move on.

The GE approach.
If inhabited:
-Find a new planet with a probe droid.
-Send an ISD to quell them and bring them into the empire.
-Bring up to galactic level of technology.
-Add one more world to the million you already have

If unihabited:
- Find with probe droid.
- Scout resources
- eat planet with World Devastot
- this can also be done with rebellions planets as punishemt

If rebellius:
- Perform BDZ turning the planet into molten slag
- Blow it up with the Death Star
- Blow it up with the Galaxy Gun
- Render it unhibatable with an Eclipse/Sovereign Superlaser
- Blow up star with Sun Crusher
- Blow up star with Centerpoint Station
- Invade with millions of War Droids.

(OOC: That's because you're too stuck with those words, "To seek out new life...", and "to bodly go where now man ( or "one", if your into political correctness) has gone before." You still think of the Federation, and Star Fleet as a bunch of explorer pussies, and that their ships are nothing more than heavily armed exploratory vessels. Believe me, the Feddie ships are no longer only geared for exploration, with some self defense weapons. Their more numerous ships, such as the Defiant, and Akira class are more than capable as dedicated warships. Come on, get over your sterotypes.


EDIT: I'm not saying that the Feddies are uber, invincible, or anything of that sort. I'm just saying that I'm a little sick of everbody thinking that the Feddies, or the rest of ST for that matter are a bunch of pansies...)

But then, all it would take would by one squad of Mandrakes or Incubi getting on board, and its bye-bye warship. In HTH combat, or even ground based combat, The Feddies don't stand a chance.

I would try to dispute that, but then I'd just seem like a closed minded fool. Hope lies in trying to make sure they never board the ship. And site to site tranport might, and I say might allow them to simply transport them right off the ship, and far away in space. All I'm hoping for is that there is a way.

Depends. A Mandrake or Haemonculus could drop a portal on the bridge or in the engineering room. Seconds later, you've got lots of pissed off Dark Eldar on board. Try site-to-sites when your crew are mixed up with them, and your warp core is failing.

Site to site will actually still work even if they're mixed together, (At least I think you mean as in a tight pack) but if they're in the warp core, and the warp core is allowed to remain on the ship (Most newer vessels can eject it.) then the ship is most definately screwed. Either way, you'll notice that it at least takes some effort, however little, to take them down, and with that, I feel that my point is made.


Before I go any further, this isn't just going to be some long winded dispute on who could beat who is it? Because, quite honestly, and I speak from experience, they never really end. Argh, I feel like I want to join this as the Feddies just to RP against you...

OOC: Well, I'll give you that....... :(

Still, I guess it depends on style and personal preference. I picked the Tau mainly because they have railguns and long-distance killing power. Thier Spine Gun Torpedoes, with their TOW-like manuverability, are a plus as well.

It would be intruguing to see different factions from different universes join up....A Tau Air Caste Kor'el Admiral in the hands of a Sovereign-class would be a HUGE threat. In an Eclipse Star Destroyer, same deal. ;)

XV-88s and Rebel Snowspeeders vs AT-STs and AT-ATs? Damn, I should have chosen Tau. I love the little guys.

We should really get someone to play the necrons. I would play them... but I dont think they would be too fun. They are a god moders wet dream.

Guys: I killed half your army!
Necron: Half come back to life!
Guy:I kill all of them!
Necron: They all come back to life on some other planet!
Guy: I blow up the planet!
Necron: The phase out and your total kills comes to 0.

Not to mention they can show up anywhere in the galaxy in a second with their incredibly advanced tech.

OCC: By the way, I sometimes have to laugh at some of the conversations that're going on here (Especially between Kyanges and U.X.). Not that I'm making fun of them or anything(seriously) I just like to read other conversations....

*Sigh*, sure, why not. But I will want acess to all the ships, and technologies available to the Federation and Starfleet. It is an alliance of many races after all. There really are many techs available only to the Feddies that truely aren't available anywhere else.

From planet killers that romp through quantum slipstreams, to stolen Borg tech, and cloaking systems on deadly Defiant class ships that strike like ghosts. Let the phrase on Picard's first command, the Stargazer, "Bring Light to the Darkness" forever shed its peaceful rhetoric, and bring nightmares of the light of a galactic inferno instead.

*Insert ridiculously long winded evil laugh here.*

Kyanges,

I have telegramed you your fleet if you haven't already noticed.

id wouldnt mind joinin, but i have no idea what you do for this thing, so if anyone could gimmie a hand an explain, ill take chaos for sure

Put me down fo the Galactic Empire

Wait, if the Federation is also partially controled by "The Fedral Union", then forget it. I rescind my claims. Thank you.

I would like to have in a fleet:
1Daemon prince to lead it
1blackstone fortress
2planet killers(with fighters/bombers)
20assorted chaos ships(with fighters/bombers)
1000 Chaos space marines(all types)
20 psykers(with the ability to summon daemons)
50 land raiders
150 other tanks(including super heavy)
10 dreadnaughts

A Blackstone is a major godmod; so I think thats probably a no-no; given it needs a god to activate it. Also you're terms are a little off; you're being very vague. I plan on RPing as the World Eaters, Thousand Sons, Emperors Children, Word Bearers and Alpha Legion; which leaves you with the Black Legion, Iron Warriors, Nightlords and whoever else is left. Now; my inital breakdown of forces will come soon. Also; can we go more than one side, cause if no ones taking the Necron'tyr; I'd love to have a crack at 'em

Put me down fo the Galactic Empire

Wow, another G.E. faction. This is sweet! five nations that use G.E. Technology (yes, sith empire is going to use G.E. tech.).

A black stone fortress is definatly a godmod, considering the fact, as you mentioned, it's required to be activated by a god. So, no go there. Someone has to change their fleet.

Now I hope with each person coming in as the galactic empire they dont get a whole new force. With every person that joins the GE the forces would be split. If 5 people are playing each person commands 20% of the total armed forces assets. Otherwise both chaos players could have every legion twice.

Also I am waiting for anyone who would want to RP the early tyranid scouts.

OOC: Are we going to have a rule abord boarding in space-combat? Since the Dark Eldar have got, as far as I can find, two official ship classes, one a cruiser, the other an escort, I could do with boarding and capturing some vessels

*Dreams of a Dark Eldar controlled SSD*

We better have boarding actions. All the fire power in the world doesn't matter if you have thousands of bio killing machines running around in your ship. The death star will be in trouble if it get boarded.

Also, if a blackstone fortress is god moding why wouldn't the start forge and seath star be god moding. They are both just as powerful.

Star forge, as I have already said, is stupidly pathetic compared to a forge world, as I have stated before.

Boarding would be fun too, seeing as the space marines have specifically designed boarding torpedoes. These are like ordinary torpedoes, only when they strike, instead of exploding, they clamp to the hull and let in the Space Marines inside, who promptly kill anything that moves. Especially if there were terminators boarding.

Just a quick warning: Some Tau players I *beat* used the old ploy of trying to convince me that infantry railguns were the same as battlesuit railguns, which is like saying that a foot-soldier can carry a tank cannon. Needless to say this is not the case. I assume you won't be godmoding your railguns?

OOC: No! :mad:

Sir, I do not godmod, that is a very serious assumption.......what makes you think I would get those two mixed up?

I know very well the Infantry Pulse Rifle is less powerful than the Broadside Railgun, so please, do not assume otherwise.

*Dreams of a Dark Eldar controlled SSD*

OOC: A terrifying thought indeed.......

OOC:*Dreams of a Dark Eldar controlled SSD*

OOC:SSD? What are SSD's? I've got ESD's! I've got Sovereign SD's! Sure, I have SSD's, but man, Dark Eldar should dream about owning a ESD! ESD will wipe out a SSD in no time! For the ESD has a Planet Ahnialating Laser onboard!

so; can I also RP as Necrons?

OOC: No! :mad:

Sir, I do not godmod, that is a very serious assumption.......what makes you think I would get those two mixed up?

Just checking ;)

so; can I also RP as Necrons?

You'd have to be knowledgable of the necrons (I would've chosen them if I wasn't tempted to play as sith). So, you kindof have to also be flexible when swiching from the Chaos, to the Necrons. So, I guess you could...

I'm kind of both Sith and the G.E. at the same time.

I have Codex Necrons; so I know about the troop types and their operation :)
I should be fine ;)

Meh... Necrons are for poofters. Regeneration, teleportation, C'tans... I prefer good old fashioned genetically engineered Space Marines.

and I prefer Chaos; pure evil seeking to subjugate humanity and plunge into reality; using the corrupted Space Marines, Daemons and other servants to pursue their ends; badass

And the Necrons, pure, soulless evil; bent on destroying life that their masters can feed, killing all before them, without moral or hesitance....Perfection

And the Necrons, pure, soulless evil; bent on destroying life that their masters can feed, killing all before them, without moral or hesitance....Perfection

OCC: That is why I chose to collect them for my 40k army! I mean, they are just as bad as terminators (btw, I painted my Necrons a "Skynet" color style).

Also dont forget to find the necron ships on the web. You can get them from their website for free with a little searching. That is how I got my nid ships.

Boarding would be fun too, seeing as the space marines have specifically designed boarding torpedoes. These are like ordinary torpedoes, only when they strike, instead of exploding, they clamp to the hull and let in the Space Marines inside, who promptly kill anything that moves. Especially if there were terminators boarding.

"Sir the enemy launched boarding torpedoes."

"We're doomed. Our hugely powerful particle shielding, thick dense Dura-Armor and legions of Storm Troopers will be useless." Pause. "Hey, wait a minute..."

Hmm... I am curious...

Do any types of shields affect biological matter? I know some stop lazers and others stop missiles and what not, but do any stop biological organisms?

Let's see:

Storm Trooper - White plastic armour, liable to run into bulkheads. Carries blaster rifle, possibly blaster pistol. Unlikely to use thermal detonators on own ship. Concussion grenades, maybe.

Incubi - Dark armour, poncy helmet, huge two handed pole-axe that will cleave through armour with ease, couldn't give a toss about blowing up ship, using grenades, causing fear just by looking at people, webway portal with thousands of Dark Eldar warriors, Haemonculi, grotesques, Wyches, and those weird scouty dudes whose names I can't remember, just waiting to pour through(Can't remember the name of the DE equivalent, but just for fun).

I wonder who'd win in a boarding action? BUt that's not the point of this thread. That's what an RP's for.

Spoken like a true 'nid player.

Hmm... I know some of you have asked me exactly what the rules are. I'll probably post them sometime this weekend.

Great underestimation of Storm Troopers.

OCC: Umm... A dark eldar is far more likely to fall in battle first than a stormtrooper is. Their armor saves suck when it comes to 40k tabletop battles. Stormtroopers are more than capable of winning a boarding action. Remember the Rebel Blockade Runner seen in ANH? It took only... twenty four. A stormtrooper doesn't use plastic for armor. And my twenty four Dark Eldar were playing against my brother's space marines and I lost...

Just another worthless plug... for myself

I think out of every force nids will be the best at boarding actions. I dont know how well a ship could hold up to 100k nids boarding it. Remember ships are almost all close quarters combat and a nid can move twice as fast as a sprinting human. Sure your volleys of fire may kill the first 30 or so in a passage but then theres the many thousands behind them.

Anyway, I was seriously wondering, are there any shields that can stop biological material.

Also think of the moral damage that would be caused when you see a SD be torn to shreds in close combat by a nid ship.

Yeah; The Empire and others would balk at the concept of a super-organism wanting to make them part of its genetic makeup....They'd lose the nerve and retreat. What would happen if the Borg met the Nids? :D

Two words:

Oh my.

techno-nids.

They are basicly the same thing, exept borg can speak, and they use technology. They'd get along great, once they got over the communications thing... though I belive the Borg could get over that.

Used properly, you should have owned him. An Incubi squad is more than a match for most units on the table, used correctly. Stormtroopers are very rarely seen in close quarters action, and with those rifles, I can't imagine they are much use up close and personal. Which is wear units like Incubi, Haemonculi, Wyches, and Archons excel, especially with terrorfexes and properly used grenades.

Storm Troopers rareley seen in close quarter action? Have you even seen the Star Wars movies?

Let's see, there's them boarding the blockade runner in ANH. There's the Storm Troopers winning in the jail break scene in ANH. There's the Storm Trooper's chasing the Rebels in the Death Star in ANH.

They invade Echo base in TESB. They are trying to capture, and so are intentionnaly missing, the rebels in Cloud City in TESB.

Then there's them fighting in a jungle in ROTJ. Which is iffy, but it is a jungle so I include it.

Storm Troopers have always been seen carrying Blaster Carbines, only Scout Troopers, techs and officers had pistols. Blaster Carbine's are a mix between a SMG and a carbine looking at them. This makes them ideal for close quarter combat in starships.

Storm Troopers would not hesitate to use TD's while repelling boarders.

Storm Troopers rareley seen in close quarter action? Have you even seen the Star Wars movies?


Sorry, i'll specify exactly what I mean. When their enemy is two feet away, swinging a six foot long pole axe with a blade than can cleave through the thickest armour with ease, a Stormtrooper is screwed. At that range, a carbine is gonna be too dangerous to fire, and probably too difficult to even wield.

THAT is what I mean by close quarters. Which is where boarding actions I take part in will take place.

Lets face it, stormies have rubbish aim...

I still think the most obvious aliance would be Adeptus Mechanus (Is anyone RPing as them?), Borg and Necrons. The Adeptus serve the C'tan, mostly unknowingly, and venerate the Necrons as living Machine spirits. The Borg would probably recieve the same glorys, and end up beign assimilated; thus giving the Borg Imperial technology. :P

The Necron'tyr....God knows if they can be assimilated; the Borg are probably more used to assimilating organic species, as opposed to robots. But it would be an alliance of convenience, not that the Necrons have a preference, but if their gods willed it...I doubt the Borg would oppose the power of a C'tan if it was demonstrated.

I can't wait for this. The void will run red with blood, and be filled with flesh, bone and necrodermis :P

I think we are getting close to everyone we will get for the rp, we may want to start soon. Once again, does anyone want to rp the initial nids showing up?

I think we will start soon. I'll post up the rules this weakend, and we'll start somethime next week (I'm looking at either monday, or tuesday afternoon, as it is my schedual is busy at night). Some factions haven't listed all of what they are using. You have till this weekend to do so. Otherwise, when you say you're going to send out "498384755736347 soldiers," (which case, that number is godmoding) you won't beable to participate. I need the facts, in this case.

I think we are getting close to everyone we will get for the rp, we may want to start soon. Once again, does anyone want to rp the initial nids showing up?

meh, wtf not? Gimme a link...

My entire battle force will be:

Codicier Veneraus (librarian) with honour guard (techmarine, sanguinary priest, standard bearer and six veteran marines)

4 tactical squads of 10 each, each one with 1 missile launcher, 1 flamer and 1 plasma gun, 6 bolters and 1 sergeant with bolt pistol and close combat weapon. Two squads will be mounted in Rhino APCs (10 marines) with a storm bolter each.

1 tactical squad of 4, all with bolters, led by Fce Cmmr Sangre (force commander) and mounted in a Razorback APC (capacity of 6 marines as opposed to ten but with twin-linked plasma cannons and a lascannon in a turret)

2 devastator squads of 5 each, each with 1 missile launcher, 1 lascannon, 1 heavy bolter, 1 plasma cannon and 1 sergeant with bolt pistol and close combat weapon.

2 assault squads of ten each with jump packs, bolt pistols and close combat weapons, and melta bombs (anti-vehicle bombs)

1 veteran assault squads (as above, but the troops are better trained.)

1 terminator squad of 5, 4 with storm bolter and power fist (cumbersome but powerful), sergeant with storm bolter and power sword (sword with armour-breaching disruptive energy field) mounted in 1 of the land raiders.

Father Corrosius and Father Chanus (Chaplains) leading the Death Company (blood angels that have succumbed to the black rage prior to battle) with bolters mounted in Rhino APC.

Brother Pexius and Brother Visius (Furioso Dreadnought) with two dreadnought close combat weapons (can tear tanks apart :D ), one stormbolter and one multi-melta each.

2 Blood Angels Scouts squads (lightly armed and armoured but covert and good at moving through cover) of 5 each, armed with bolt pistols and close combat weapons.

1 scout squad (as blood angel scouts but not as aggressive) of 5, armed with sniper rifles.

3 Predator Annihilators (tanks with turret-mounted lascannons and lascannons in the side-sponsons)

3 Baal Predators (Tanks with turret-mounted assault cannons [like gatling guns only better] and heavy bolters in the side sponsons)

2 vindicators (tanks with hull-mounted heavy cannons for blowing big stuff up at close range)

2 whirlwinds (tanks with turret-mounted missiles, like artillery rockets. Long range and deadly :D )

2 Land Raider (massive tanks with heavy bolters in a mini-turret and two lascannons in each side sponson. And the toughest armour known to the universe!!!)

2 bike squads of 5 bikes and one attack bike each. Bike has stormbolter, attack bike has stormbolter and turret mounted weapon in sidecar (1 with multi-melta, 1 with heavy bolter.)

Landspeeder squadron of 3 speeders, 2 with heavy bolters, 1 with multi-melta. Landspeeders are skimmers hovering a few metres off the ground, but fast!

Phew, that's it. So to summarise:

4 HQ (Fce Cmmr Sangre, Venelaus & honour guard, 2 chaplains)

5 elites (2 furioso dreadnoughts, 1 terminator sqd, 1 death company, 1 vet. assault sqd)

7 troops (4 tactical sqd, 2 BA scout sqd, 1 scout sqd)

5 fast attack (2 assault sqd, 2 bike sqd, 1 landspeeder sqd)

14 heavy support (2 devastator sqd, 2 pred annihilators, 2 baal preds, 2 vindicator, 2 whirlwind, 2 land raider)

Of course, I won't necessarily use it all at the same time.

I think we will start soon. I'll post up the rules this weakend, and we'll start somethime next week (I'm looking at either monday, or tuesday afternoon, as it is my schedual is busy at night).

I'll get some numbers up tomorrow, if I can find my codex. If not, I'll have to try and remember the character names.

cool.

And that's just my starting forces, I am free to deploy more troops from Baal Secundus should I wish, assuming there is not a blockade...

OOC: :eek: Good thing I have Hammerheads....

Basically, even with less than 200 troops, I am still a Tau-slaughtering megaman, seeing as the average Space Marine is ten times as good as as a trooper.

Run away, bitch! *runs after xen streaming lascannon fire*

I'll sign up for this, as the Tyranids if I can, for those scout drones, though I'd like something bigger eventually, Hive fleet Kraken or Leviathan would be nice. and as a 40k fanatic I can answer many questions between Rper's for anything 40k.

1. Shield can repulse tyranid ammunition but they don't stop bio-plasma or any creatures divig at the ship, one because they move too slowly and two, they are either too big or in a assualt boat creature

2. No, the borg could not control Nids, even techno ones, at least not any that are in synapse range, the great devourer is considered a god, the borg merely are a collection of concienses.

3. The force is unaffected by the shadow in the warp, it isn't as far as I can tell a psychic ability, nor would it Affect warp drive or Hyperdrive as neither involve entering the warp, merely going really really fast.

I learned about 40k from the second edition books and the old white dwarfs seven years ago, so I can simply find what I need to know if anyone wants to know any other comparisons. I.E. Star Trek Lasers are different in both scale and power to SW or 40K lasers. Though phasers may be comparable to lances.

But should I make my own scout force or does IC want to make one for me?

2. No, the borg could not control Nids, even techno ones, at least not any that are in synapse range, the great devourer is considered a god, the borg merely are a collection of concienses.


Considered Gods, maybe, but not actually gods. They are real flesh and bone, and terrificational claws and spikes etc etc. Still lascannon fodder though.

I'd suggest to make your own. Request to play as the Tyranids, confirmed.

Run away, bitch! *runs after xen streaming lascannon fire*

Get some! *Fires Broadside Slugs and Hammerhead Submunition Shot at Falcania*

OOC: Ladies, ladies! The Rp hasn't started yet! You can start bichn' at eachother all you want when the Rp starts (LOL!!!!)

'Nids don't consider the Hive Mind a God. They aren't aware of anything outside of it. They are parts of it; aspects of a singular conciousness, not concerned with worship or evangelising; its not the Emperor....its an all consuming force; one that will not stop until yet another galaxy is part of it.

Sighn me up as the tyranids for 40k.

I'll take 20% of the fleet and forces that IE posted. I believe there are 5 GE nations so that's 20%.

I also want a fully complete DS2 and 2 World Devastators.

Don't start without me. I promise I'll post the forces by Sunday. The Clone Army will be here.

Gronde TGed me to say he was dropping out of teh RP.

Considered Gods, maybe, but not actually gods. They are real flesh and bone, and terrificational claws and spikes etc etc. Still lascannon fodder though.

no no no, the hive mind, the hive mind, the great devourer is the name of the tyranid hive mind,

and I know the tyranid don't consider the GD a god, they are bugs and lack that intelligence, the other races consider it a god, psykers of other races have felt its powerful conscience, psykers are driven mad by its mere shadow. All except the Grand Librarian of the Ultramarines Tigurius.

I'm very interested in playing Pre-Civil War era Empire. Just when they develop gravity well generators, just before the Battle of Yavin, etc. I'd prefer to be in command of the imperial navy, but I'll take whatever chunk of it I can get.

EDIT:

If you want me to list my groupings...

I'll be as accurate as possible.

3000 Ranat Type-B Class Star Destroyer ^^^
5000 Harrow Class Star Destroyer **^
2000 Battle Class Star Destroyer *^^
12000 Victory Class Star Destroyer **

Several tens of thousands of frigates and corvettes of a few dozen different classes, notables being the Lancer Class, the Dreadnought Class, amd the Carrack Class

An un-determinably large number of star fighters, mainly Tie/ln Space superiority fighters, TIE Interceptors, TIE Bombers, and a limited run of TIE Advanced/Avengers

* 9 including the Lusankya, but that's buried on Coruscant

** This is an old, very out-dated design, hence the large numbers

*** Presumably, one of the newer designs, hence the smaller numbers

^ Though produced in relativily small numbers for its ship type, usually seen in high concentrations during large fleet actions and related activities

^* As the personal command ship of Darth Vader prior to the completion of the Executor, this is merely an upgraded version of the rest of the class

^^* As the standard Imperial archetype of its ship-type, this class is the most common but also the most diffuse in terms of patrol assignments

^^^ The Ranat Class Destroyers are special case destroyers, originally meant to fill the role that the Imperator class ended up in, the two types of Ranat class destroyers were to be paired together, one type A and one type B, with the type A being mainly anti-capitalship and the type B being mainly a carrier, but the Imperator managed to accomplish both of these roles in one ship. Thus, the limited run of Ranat class ships were generally given to the command of minor officers at outposts along the rim of the Empire

**^ Meant to be a replacement for the aging Victory class, the Harrow class was yet another victim of the success of the Imperator class. They were generally given to small-time sector moffs or kept in reserve for minor fleet actions

*^^ A very early precursor to the Victory class, the Battle class ships are now most scrapped or disarmed and sold into the private sector. A small number, however, have been maintained by the Imperial Navy as back-up ships for patrolling Victory and Imperator class vessels

PLEASE NOTE

While these numbers may seem god-modishly large, please remember that all of these ships are spread thoughout an Empire of over a million inhabited and patrolled systems. Yes, this is more than 200,000 ships in total, but the number that could ever really be brought to bear for any one battle would be an insignificant fraction of an insignificant fraction of a percent of the total force.

Sorry about the three in a row posts here but the Executor, or Super Class didn't exist until after Yavin, Vader got the first one and in A New Hope Vaders ship was the SD MKI Devestator, or the ship that chased Leia

no no no, the hive mind, the hive mind, the great devourer is the name of the tyranid hive mind,

Sighn me up as the tyranids for 40k.

Request to play as the tyranids confirmed.

A black stone fortress is definatly a godmod, considering the fact, as you mentioned, it's required to be activated by a god. So, no go there. Someone has to change their fleet.

I never meant an activated one just one as a "fort" if that's not ok i'll change it.

well, that'd just be pointless, as it'd be stationary. The Imperium used them as shipyards...So unless you want an entirely stationary unarmed weapon....go ahead

Finalised fleet list:

3 Space Marine Battle Barge: Spirit of the Primarch (with Commander of the Fleet & Honour Guard), Wings of the Falcon, Wrath of Sanguinius

10 Space Marine Strike Cruisers: Endurance, Persistance, Diligence, Harmony, Resonance, Perseverance, Severity, Courage, Heroism, Retribution

10 squads of 5 Firestorm, 5 Sword and 5 Cobra rapid strike vessels each: Victory group, Destiny group, Serenity group,

Inhibitance group, Mortality group, Destructor group, Annihilator group, Radiance group, Vigilance group, Luminance Group

2 wings of 75 Nova and 75 Gladius frigates each: Equinox wing and Solstice wing

500 Hunter Class Destroyers

2000 Imperial Transports

Totals:
3 Battle Barges
10 Strike Cruisers
150 Rapid strike vessels
300 Frigates
500 Destroyers
2000 Transports

All painted in charming Blood Red...

Just to let you know I finalised my fleet list.

Hey, that's cool. If I was to do BFG, I probably would choose space marines (which chapter, I don't know. Probably Space Wolfs, or Blood Angels just to piss my brother off(he's Dark Angels)), even though I play Necrons in 40k.

Bump!!

Bump!

Tyranids have commanders? *scratchs head with rending claws* I think its just the Hive Mind, and you may want to reconsider your fleet, three hive ships can't control that many ships and if all your hive ships die your fleet is toast, think one Hive ship per twenty other ships and thats the bear minimum

I'm bringing in almost all of my fleet (that means all command ships, space stations, heavy, medium, light star ships. Here is what I'm definatly going to have for a fleet and I will not change it. Will Industrial Experiment, Stellar Nations, Xessmithia, or Soviet leaders useing any ground forces? I will be, but I mainly invested in my navy.

Ship Yards:
40

Ship Production Planet (a whole planet based solely on ship production)
30

Space Stations:
Star Forge (produces 60% of the fleet), Death Star 2

*Whew* Large fleet for me (though, I don't think it's as large as Industrial Experiments). As I said, I invested heavily in my fleet.

Again, like Industrial Experiments Fleet, this fleet is spread through out the galaxy. I also have access to this amount of ships due to the star forge.

I dont think you guys should be able to claim the imperial fleet multiple times over. If Huntaer's and the other guys fleet are different forces then it is ok, but it seems like you guys are using overlapping forces. With that same logic each of us could play all 3 major hive fleets and numerous smaller hive fleets. I am starting to feel like I am going to have to up my numbers to be able to compete.

OOC: It's Late at Night, so sorry for this, but I want in.

**************

Write Me Down For the Klingons!

Tyranids have commanders? *scratchs head with rending claws* I think its just the Hive Mind, and you may want to reconsider your fleet, three hive ships can't control that many ships and if all your hive ships die your fleet is toast, think one Hive ship per twenty other ships and thats the bear minimum

They're called synapse creatures. Hive mind affects all tyranids, so three synapse creatures should be fine.

The Clone Army: (These numbers seem very small, but the Old Republic didn't seem to have much in the way of armed forces. If anyone knows any different, please tell me)

1000 Acclamator-class Transports
2000 Dreadnaughts
2000 Victory Mk1 Star Destroyers
500 Leviathan-class Cruisers
4000 Carrack-class Cruisers
16000 CR-90 Corvettes
24000 CR-20 Attack Shuttles

1000 Independant Fighter Squadrons

(plus however many Jedi there were, I couldn't find that out)

Put simply, I need to find some allies. I'm good on the ground, but the numbers are still small.

OH OH OH OH OH !

I'm soooooooo sorry.

But the dominion is still open, Can i have them instead of the klingons, I LOVE the Dominion!

I'm still working on it; but I wanna know...whats my limit? How much can I have? You never did post rules like you said you would!!!

Also; we're lacking several 40K main players; Orks, Necrons...Eldar? I mean, come on! dudes!

East Coast Federation: you may switch.

Chronosia: I know, I know. I was so damn busy during this weekend (and week). It came as unsuspected. I'll try to quickly type up the rules and hopefully have them posted up later on during the Super Bowl. I'm Going to get right on it (or at least, very soon. Damn :headbang: )

Are we using Our Nations population for size?

Or Actual Cannon Numbers.

If it was Cannon, Dominion Ship numbers would be at least 1 million.

not 1 million.. more like 65 thousand

not 1 million.. more like 65 thousand

I think TFU is correct in this. If you have a pop. of say, 56 mill, then I beleive that you take 20% of that and that will be your army, excluding any droids or clones that you may have. Those are seperate from your population, that I do know.

BTW, I've posted up the rules for those who haven't noticed.

Here is the thread:

40k, ST, SW Collision Rules (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=395559)

I've read estimates anywhere from 70,000 to a Million. But 70,000 sounds about right for the Dominion.

So, when can my gribbly little hordes get dinner? I.E. When and what post are we starting in?

I'll anounce thursday. Then, we'll start the champains. There are other nations who still haven't posted, or Telegramed me their army/navy.

Hey can the nid players use all the nids in existance? How many were there... oh yea, a billion times a billion! Yes that is what 40k fluff says about how many nids there are, each one of those is a killing machine. So amazing...

I wont use that many though.

Wow, those rules are...constricting...

I might drop out.

OK i read half of this whole thing and iv had time to think, ok here goes.

sign me up for SW Imperal
Leaders: General Collanas
Commander Natron

Space Stations:
IF SA1
IF SA2
IF SA3
IF SA4
IF SA5

Crusers:
IF CA1
IF CA2
IF CA3
IF CA4
IF CA5
IF CA6
IF CA7

and so on if i could build more that would be cool.

and IF stands for Imperal Fleet.

No kidding. And I'm so close to dropping out, I'm going to go right on ahead and do it. I am no longer participating in this RP.

Although on a final note, I must say that SW would wipe the floor with both ST and WH40K.

They ARE very restricting. I'm prepared to stay in, but I think it would be better if we could use the proper forces available, like the list I.E. found for the Galactic Empire.

No More Sign Ups!
SORRY.

if the things still gonna be on can i also rp a small sith fleet allied with chaos?

But then, all it would take would by one squad of Mandrakes or Incubi getting on board, and its bye-bye warship. In HTH combat, or even ground based combat, The Feddies don't stand a chance.

Actually, All the feddies have to do is put up shields in the corridors and other areas and you are in serious trouble, and site to site teleportation is very dangerous in such a closed environment people tend to end up in walls with just a touch of inacurracy in the teleport, a single squad would not take a fed capital ship any more than it would take one full of Imperial Guard, phasers would slaugter the dark eldar with its abiltity to simply beam out shots continuously, trust me I have read up on every Universe we are playing in, One squad may do lots of damage, but they wouldn't kill it anymore than one brood of Hormogaunts could, Genestealers maybe, since they are specialized at ship taking but little else

When's this gonna happen, eh? I've been waiting 3 months!
