I'm feeling the need to flex my nation's combat muscles!

To this end I've come up with a small military fleet that has gone rouge and is resorting to piracy to finance their lives on the run from the official Blasfisian Navy.

So, I'm going to want to attack a small outpost/colony/convoy with some minor defences... obviously you could call for help and bring in a fleet to deal with my pirates once they attack.

Anyone fancy being my target?

Obviously at the end of the RP, whatever happens, the regular Blasfisian Navy will show up and help you mop up whatever remains of the pirates, rebuild/repair your damaged ships/builings and open up diplomatic relations with the nation in question.

The Pirate fleet will consist of:

1 x Command Carrier (with full fighter compliament of 400 BF-12's)
2 x BF-15's
8 x BF-1401's

So you can get a feel for what you'd be up against should you apply - the Blasfisian factbook: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=559686 (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=559686)

If you'd like to be the 'victim' of my pirate attack please post the following in this thread:

Race/Nation: Empire of Greywatch
Target for attack (colony, convoy etc): A small military academy on a small moon around a gas giant near the edge of Greywatch Empire space
Military strength of escort/garrison: A few AA batteries in case of an invasion, one Anti-orbital cannon on the surface. There will be some unarmed training craft and transports, maybe ten single-man combat ships.
Special requests/circumstances: Most of this people are going to be cadets and fresh recruits, they're pretty much defenseless. The people training them are Drones (Elite supersoldiers possessing awesome physical and cryptic abilities) and Leanorians (Soldiers who're awesome medics and physical combat experts)

Oh and the moon is more-or-less a baren, rocky, canyon-y area. There are no other outposts, the acedemy is on a mesa and has several underground areas, a hanger in on the side of the Mesa. So this place kinda stick out. The rest of the mesa is a training ground, fake building, obstical courses and whatnot.

Would a pirate attack upon this training camp influence our other thread?

Not at all, I can change the timeline, or have it happen somewhere remote... Plus it would be great as a lead into a first contact thread, well, first contact between our to worlds rather than just forces. Greywatch may be a little far from you but this could alays be based a little in the future when your race has made some tech advancements or something.

Unless you want it to influence our other thread.

I think it would be cool if it slightly influenced the other thread... and it would give an excuse for first contact between the nations (rather than just my colony force)... + It could be an opportunity for my nation to learn details about the fate of my colony force?

And that's how you create amazing background stories, linking a lot of stuff together. Its fine with me.
