Booo!

[Reshmar]

OK you Imperials I'm going to attack someplace. still working that out. WHo is here that can Fight me?

[Karl Valten]

Breaded salmon filets are my specialty....served with rice and veggies of course.

[Danni Reyok]

*meekly raises hand*

I can fight :D

And Karl, your salmon fillets are good, but I made them the other day . . . let's just say mine are way better.

[Park Kraken]

Should we order the fish fillets to go or should we eat in?


You want to come to us, or shall we come to you?

[Reshmar]

Im coming to you. I'll let you know where once I figure out exactly where it will be. I figure this one will be a route. Sullust is still being fought for by various members of the Alliance, I beleive. This basiclly runs in unison with the Sullust battle thread. I want to hit something just to let the Empire know the Rebellion isn't dead. I dont plan on winning but I dont plan on losing either. If anyone has any ideas COOL ! lets hear them. I would like to get this set up and over by the first of next year.

oh and HAHA funny fish jokes.

[Karl Valten]

Despite the fish jokes, we're glad to have you back. Umm, there might be a possible collaboration thread with rebel intel, talk to Aurelias Kazzar or Estelle Russard about the Sarapin thread.

Unless you want something strictly fleet wise, I have to think a bit.

[Reshmar]

something fleet. I want to show the Alliance fleet can still muster an attack. More of a show then anything. The Empire has been kicking us in the tail since Endor now is time to show we can kick back alittle. It more or less shows we can pull off more then one assault at a time. The sullust thing and this. Nothing really big just a small fleet engagment thread. Ill jump in make an attack Imperial forces will rally and I will jump out doing minor damage.

[Karl Valten]

Alrighty, you going to hit somewhere nearer to the core, maybe inner rim or something. That'd shake things up,would be noticed by the public, and gives you plenty of strategic targets without putting you too near a large military base.

[Travis North]

Mmm Fleet.

[Reshmar]

sounds good. I will think it over and pick a target tonight.

[Park Kraken]

I would be happy to be your opponent, if you wanted just one. I'll throw a PM your way, and see what you think.

[Reshmar]

Ladies and gentilmen the target is Lianna.

Basiclly I plan on slowing down the Tie construction facilities.
Seeing as it is an independant system I plan on making this interesting. The Empire protects the planet so whatever you impeiral scum can think of as defense is cool. is cool.
What we need to know is Who wants to Be in on this. I know Kraken and myself for sure Who else?
There will be alot of fighter writing in this so fighter pilots polish off your boots and jump in.
I have an idea of how thisis going to go and get started but any ideas are usefull.

[Karl Valten]

Kraken is lead on this one, take it away Admiral. Fighter command was my original role with the SOV, but I switched fairly quickly and I'm rusty. I'll still take a role here, though. Once things are a bit organized Kraken can assign taskforces to whom he chooses. You in on this Travis?

Oh, Mr. Reshmar, you want a wingman on this? I have an alliance fleet character that's established along the corellian tradespine.

[Travis North]

I can field a squadron or two. Maybe snag some Shadows for you, gotta be one or two of them catching a glimse of this thread.

Also on a completely different subject, I picked up 40K today, the Battle for Macragge.

[Karl Valten]

Damn, now I'm going to have to start playing that too. Which army you looking at? (sorry to hijack the thread) I've looked at IG, Daemonhunters, and Tyranids as my top 3.

[Travis North]

I'm planning on forming a Witch Hunter army. I really like the flame weapons they have, although their a bit point heavy to field a good size army. I'm thinking just have them as an addition to either a Guardsman or Marine army because of the support they can get.

I also really like the long range abilities the Tau offer. If they didn't hurt so much in melee, I'd start with an army of them. Their models are pretty sleek looking.

[Reshmar]

The macragge is a good starter set. I bought a couple of them just for the nids. I added a bunch of gaunts, a tyrant some warriors, and two carnifex and I had a swarm. If you want to do Nids it is the best way to do it. The marines look ok but they are limited. the boxed Marines are much better. I did demon hunters. if you got money they are good. 50 plus bucks for 5 terminators. 30 for 5 marines. Witch hunters are the same way. No Plastic models. I like the Sisters. They are awesome. They have the best fast attack choices. the Seraphim squads can jump in and the dominion squads can offer a fast hard hitting squad. Don't go too crazy with flamer though. Meltas and Stormbolters work good together. Same goes for retribution squads. two heavy bolters and two multi-meltas kick but. Just put a flamer in each squad. and dont forget Inquisitorial stormtroopers. These are awesome. I could talk 40 k all day. I have spent way too much in that game.Waaaaaaaay toooo much! Tau have a bunch of plastics. fun fun . so do orks, guard. My first army was Eldar. enough said. Money is the key. either way they are loads of fun. I will get some pics of my modified Stormtroopers on asap. I modded one with a sniper rifle and made one with a hell cannon. I will start a 40 k discussion thread. now about Lianna.

This will be a hit and run thing. real fast. I plan on having fighters enter the system from three different sides. They will then race past the defenses and into the planets atmosphere. I will be sending special Y-wings with 4 heavy bombs each. They will hit the Shield projector and clear the way for the B-wings to come in and hit the factories. A-wings and X-wings will provide escort. 3 Gunships will also provide support. They are meant more or less to draw fire while the fighters hit their target. I hope to have the fighters outbound before most of the imperial forces even know whats going on.

[Reshmar]

hey guys I made a thread in collecting for the 40 k chit chat.

[Travis North]

Sounds good, since Lianna is a TIE production facility I'm sure there will be two or three trained Interceptor squadrons planet side or on an orbital platform with some additional defences, that's Kraken's call on what's orbital though.

And just a suggestion to spice it up, I think there could be two Escort Carriers in orbit being loaded with TIEs, auto-piloted of course. Make a bonus objective for destroying/protecting them.

[Reshmar]

Not a bad idea about the carriers. As far as defenses I know of one ISD Duce in dock. I tought 2 Carracks and a Gollan III in orbit as defense. IM not bringing anything big in just fighters and 3 gunships. I dont want to be in system long enough to have to turn a cruiser around.

[Karl Valten]

Impstar Deuce isn't going to have enough time to get out of drydock to respond to a raid. You're still getting her fighters on you though :). Carracks are a good idea, my personal favorite ship (next to the Aurora SD).

[Travis North]

That's quite a large number of Imperial fighter squadrons engaging in combat.

Two from an orbital station, one patroling squadron, two or three from the Duece, and one combined from the carracks. Not to mention what's available from the surface. Your escorts better be crackshots.

[Park Kraken]

Reshmar mentioned to me bringing in two wings, plus change, of Rebel starfighters, about evenly split between fighter escorts and attack craft. The ImpStar duece would have four fighter squadrons, the Golan-II another two squadrons, plus another wing on the ground, so it would be a fairly even fight straight up.

So is Shadow Squadron coming in for a scrape, or are there just going to be a couple of us?

[Reshmar]

another thing is you guys have to launch. My fighters will be running WFO to their targets. Ill have 3 gunships to help them out also. 36 a wings and 48 x wings. should be matched more or less.


Carracks are a good idea, my personal favorite ship (next to the Aurora SD).

I can't agree more. it's like you read my mind. I miss the Termagant

[Karl Valten]

Trav, carracks only carry four TIE scouts, two light laser cannons and an advanced sensor package, they're not doing anything. And we do only have eyeballs and squints, we need to outnumber them 2:1. As I told Reshmar before, I miss my Defenders and Scimitars.

[Reshmar]

You guys have onyx Squadron. it was at Endor and had Defenders. I figure you guys can start producing defenders in limited numbers. This would give me a reson to attack Lianna. many Bothan spies died getting me the information that Lianna has begun Defender Production. I figure they would have some laying around. Throw in an elite defender squadron

[Park Kraken]

Umm, not to burst your bubble or anything, but Carracks actually have 10 Heavy Turbolaser Cannons, 20 Ion Cannons, and 4 TIE Scouts. They are intended as capital-ship killers, an answer to the Rebel's Corellian Corvette.

Now a Lancer Frigate, which is smaller than a Carrack, has 20 Quad Laser cannons, and is meant as a counter to Rebel starfighters.

[Travis North]

My mistake about the Carracks' fighter compliment. I think now it's a pretty even match in terms of fighters.

I don't think the Shadows are gonna jump in.

[Reshmar]

The planet could have some elite squad. use defenders,oppressors, or avengers.
The empire had all of them by Endor.

[Karl Valten]

Oh I know, that is why I love them. That and they are really freaking hard to kill for a ship their size.

[Reshmar]

Depends on what you use to kill them with

[Travis North]

A cybernetically enhanced Gamorrean with a laser cannon.



A sector of space to anyone who gets that reference.

[Karl Valten]

Wraith Squadron series, I forget the specific book.

And it was a Corellian Corvette he hit, not a carrack. :cool:

[Travis North]

Impressive.

Now that I think about it, the ship was a Corvette. I'm amazed I'm forgeting the small details of stuff.

[Park Kraken]

Ah, good ole Voort SanBinring, aka, Piggy. That was the Night Caller book, which was the first of the series, so it would be Book Five, titled Wraith Squadron.

[Reshmar]

Nub.....Nub....

[Park Kraken]

We could have Avenger squadron present, from the X-wing VS TIE Fighter video game, along with the 181st present as well.

[Reshmar]

Ok So for Imperial Forces. A Golan 3 with full fighter complement. 2 Carrack Cruisers with their 8 scout ties, two full wings planet side, A docked Imp with full fighter compalment. 2 docked Escort Carriers. loading nonpiloted ties for transport. 1 Elite Squadron with Defenders. divided between the imps. anything else?

Rebel Forces. 4 Y-wing Squadrons, 3 B-wing Squadrons, 3 A-wing Squadrons, 4 X-wing Squadrons, and 3 DP-90 Corellian Gunships
Who else is doing Alliance characters? whoever that is i think we can split this up. I will do the Y-wings, B-wings, and A-wings. Someone else will handle the 3 Gunships and X wings which will stay in orbit drawing fire from my attack wing.
How does this look?

[Karl Valten]

Looks fine too me, a little more fighter heavy than I'm used to, but it will work.

[Travis North]

Can't forget in system traffic. Need some civilians in here as well.

Thinking maybe a passenger ship with workers headed planetside. And add a convoy of materials, modular transports, jumping in while the fighters are making the assault. Depending on how severe the casualties are they would either jump or request escort until the are covered by the Golan.

[Park Kraken]

Sounds good to me. I'll be personally commanding the Imperial forces main fleet, while I have an NPC running around commanding a fighter wing. Does someone else want to pick up other fighter squadrons (or wings?)?

[Karl Valten]

I'll have an NPC take a planetside wing. Reshmar, you want me to take some fighter squadrons, or bring my rebel character in if the crap hits the fan somehow?

[Reshmar]

Take Command of the Gunships. They need to draw as much heat as they can without getting killed.They will be the first to jump in with the X wings. We will target the Carriers going in and make a run on them. draw away some fighters and mabey the carracks. Then the Attack wing will jump in from the back side of the planet and head in to hit the shield gens and the factories.
