Every ship needs a name, and so does this!

[Quenn Yeartel]

I've run out of ideas for ship names, so if anyone wants to make some suggestions feel free. Let's make it something really pompous and horrible that only someone with an inflated ego would come up as an ideal name to charm a future empress with. That way, she can hate him even more for being an obnoxious git and rename the ship to her liking!

No, there won't be a prize for the one with the best suggestion - at least not anything other than having the ship named after his/her suggestion.

So go go go ahead and suggest away!

[Miranda Tarkin]

I still need to think of a ship when it is mine :uhoh

How about the Vigilance for the REAL name :p

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

The Majestic?

[Miranda Tarkin]

Good lord! So simple! :glomp

[Sanya Tagge]

The Black Pearl!

YARRRR

[Travis North]

Empress-class Grand Cruiser Empress - If we follow standard naming conventions for the first ship of a line.

or

Kills Rebels Dead

or even better

Quenn's Chick Magnet

[Reshmar]

Custos Imperatrix

[Quenn Yeartel]

Rebelkiller..... heh!

Yeah, Empress was my first thought but that's a bit too obvious. Besides, "the Empress residing on her ship, the Empress" just doesn't sound all that great.

[Miranda Tarkin]

The Majestic?

^^^ this one!

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Aw shucks ma'am ^_^;


Does this mean I'ma get a pardon, and you won't try and hunt me down or make a fur rug out of me?

[Miranda Tarkin]

No, Jedi scum :mad

I will do what any good Empress would do. Steal your idea and make it mine >D

[Quenn Yeartel]

Majestic for the renaming or for the original one?

[Miranda Tarkin]

For the renaming.

[Park Kraken]

A quick perusal of British battleship names comes up with the following -

Monarch
Royal Soveriegn
Magnificent
Majestic (already suggested)
Illustrious
Formidable
Irresistable
Implacable
Venerable
Queen
Superb
Vanguard
Conqueror
Thunderer
Valiant

Any one of these names could be used for ego and to flatter an Empress.

[Quenn Yeartel]

Well that's easy... the Irresistable!

[Miranda Tarkin]

:lol Well, at least the names are settled :)

[Kamvil Albrecht]

Great! Can I leave port for Coruscant now?

[Miranda Tarkin]

I don't know! Quenn might have something planned before that?

[Quenn Yeartel]

QUENN.

And no, you can't yet. But good to know who I'll be addressing when I come to call on the ship.

Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't it be Irresistible, not Irresistable?

[Miranda Tarkin]

So I type fast and missed it. Cope :p

Irresistible, Irresistable ... i think it can go either way?

[Quenn Yeartel]

Oy Kamvil! (that's a mouthful by the way) You're on the Irresistible, not the Majestic!

The Moff shall post soonish and visit you to give you your orders.

[Kamvil Albrecht]

I await his orders then.

[Yeart Quenn]

For some reason I keep forgetting your first name.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I posted.

[Kamvil Albrecht]

Hahah... I forgot it when I tried to login. There must be something to it that makes it forgetful.

I have replied.

[Yeart Quenn]

Oh my... one could certainly say that the Moff and Kamvil might make an impressing duo. Scary, but impressing.

But I want to punch your character a little less than my own. Let me see what I can do regarding a suitable reply.

Who is that in that picture anway? For some reason it reminds me of someone in "The Eagle has Landed".

[Kamvil Albrecht]

The person in the picture is the actor James Gerard (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0416541/).

[Sanya Tagge]

But I want to punch your character a little less than my own.

I love how we're all trying to out-do one another on who can be the most vile, arrogant bastard :lol

[Kamvil Albrecht]

Lets look at this in a different way.

Kamvil Albrecht - Lawful Evil
Yeart Quenn - Nuetral Evil
Sanya Tagge - I haven't figured out yet. Presumably Chaotic Evil.

[Yeart Quenn]

Ehhh... I claim Deranged Evil. The only thing neutral about Quenn is possibly the color of his underwear.

[Sanya Tagge]

Chaotic Evil? I'm hurt :(

[Park Kraken]

Park Kraken - Straight up Evil
S'Ilancy - Tomboy Evil
Telan Desaria - Aristocratic Evil
Millard - Refined Evil
Travis North - Plain Evil
Karl Valtin - Wannabe Evil
Mo...err...Empress Tarkin - In your face Evil

[Kamvil Albrecht]

Albrecht had that typical Imperial ramrod-stiff posture....

LMAO

That's one way to describe my character... I'm still laughing.

[Yeart Quenn]

Oh Weevil... errr... Kamvil - you can edit your post so it has the orders in there. I decided it might be a good way to introduce at least some of the plans in this way.

The orders should read (you may edit them a bit to make them more imperial if you like, I'm a bit rusty in that aspect):
"Proceed under my command to Imperial Center. There you and your ship will stand by until further notice, but ready your crew for inspection by my future wife. She may believe she has command over you - but your loyalty is with me and you will look to me for confirmation."

[Telan Desaria]

I prefer to think as myself as Noble Evil

There we go.



*it lives*

[Miranda Tarkin]

:rolleyes @ Yeart

Telan! :crack

[Morgan Evanar]

Lets look at this in a different way.

Kamvil Albrecht - Lawful Evil
Yeart Quenn - Nuetral Evil
Sanya Tagge - I haven't figured out yet. Presumably Chaotic Evil.Sanya Tagge - Incredibly Sexy Evil

[Kamvil Albrecht]

I made the edit to include the orders.


*Salutes the Grand Admiral.*

Long time no see.

<-- Is Travis.

[Yeart Quenn]

Eggshellent. I replied.

Now give me some time to get the other side progressed. Which means one post by either Elani or her telbun. Then we can arrive at IC.

[Telan Desaria]

Good to see you all. I'm baaaack

[Quenn Yeartel]

Hey Parky - I'm done, you can arrive on IC now.

And hi there Telan :)

[Park Kraken]

Huh? Arrive on IC?

[Quenn Yeartel]

Well I mean the Irresistible can arrive at Imperial Center now.

[Miranda Tarkin]

So to be clear, in this thread Miranda has already been proclaimed Empress? I just want to make sure because that changes how I write things.

Karl, Anar and I are working on the last thread that leads up to the official IC announcement we swear!

[Kamvil Albrecht]

I'd thought so. Why would the ship be dubbed Empress-class if not?

I can always make an edit if needed.

[Miranda Tarkin]

I know, but I like making sure. Studying all day makes me @_@ Your post was great, I guess I wasn't expecting to be her Highnessnessness!

[Telan Desaria]

So the Empire now has an Empress. have I missed anything else???

[Yeart Quenn]

Uhmm no. This is still happening before Miranda becomes Empress officially.

The reason it's called Empress-class is because the Moff is trying to wave that name in her face as bait - he doesn't know the truth, but he thinks if she and he get together they'd have enough power for one of them to become Emperor. The ship is to signify that he intends her to take the throne, whereas in actual fact he just intends to change that to Emperor-class once he's married to her and has usurped her power and influence.

And Kamvil wouldn't even know who is going to come inspect them. The orders don't state who Quenn is planning to make his wife.

Soooo... could you please edit? :p

[Miranda Tarkin]

So the Empire now has an Empress. have I missed anything else???

Well that's the biggie! Um, I can't think of anything besides the fleet threads going on

[Tiberius Anar]

Anar's just about to get the whole thing dropped on his head. Won't that be fun?

[Kamvil Albrecht]

Changed for great confusion.


... Kamvil wouldn't even know who is going to come inspect them. The orders don't state who Quenn is planning to make his wife.

Who would my character be left to suspect? Who above my character would believe they had command over me when they would not? As far as I know I only answer to the Sector Moff I am under, the Grand Admirals whom are all male as far as I know, and the Executor whom is also male.

In that sense my character would be confused to no end. Who else would be on Coruscant to be impressed by a warship as a wedding proposal? All the clues point to the Empress.

[Telan Desaria]

There is a female Inquisitor, R.S. Esalis and a female Grand Admiral who I plan on introducing shortly in a new thread.

[Miranda Tarkin]

Which Miranda would highly approve of ^_^

[Dasquian Belargic]

Why does no one ever bring me warships? :(

[Miranda Tarkin]

Because you and Grace are always off causing trouble?

[Kamvil Albrecht]

Why does no one ever bring me warships? :(

Your kind are always stealing them. Rebellious types think just because it's a weapon that could be used against them gives them right to take it. I say no, it does not.

[Quenn Yeartel]

Hahaha.... wouldn't it be too funny if Kamvil came to the conclusion that it might be Esalis that the Moff is after? Miranda might be the face of the Empire but the age difference between the two Moffs might actually make anyone else than my Moff consider her.

[Miranda Tarkin]

I believe such a big gap in age wouldn't be uncommon with political marriages :)

[Quenn Yeartel]

Yes but does Kamvil think in political terms?

[Kamvil Albrecht]

Poli-whats?

[Tiberius Anar]

*face-palm*

[Kamvil Albrecht]

To paraphrase Randal Graves.

All I know is killing and white uniforms.

[Miranda Tarkin]

:: is with Anar. Face-palm ::

[Morgan Evanar]

This thread

[Telan Desaria]

Gloria Imperium. Morg, I have not leant you toys to play with because you cannot promise to return them unbroken. HAHAHA

[Yeart Quenn]

My apologies to everyone involved in this - I'm being an exceptionally lazy git right now.... I just can't get my head around writing. I have half a post but it's not progressing.... hopefully I'll have something before the weekend.

[Quenn Yeartel]

Wheeee... managed to crank out a post. Okay folks, we can get back to moving this forward - Kamvil, would you get the Irresistible to Imperial Center now?

[Travis North]

Will do when I get the time. I've been busy these past few days and probably will not get back online again until Sunday evening.

[R. S. Esalis]

What's this about someone coming after me?

[Yeart Quenn]

Heheehe... yeah.... apparntly the Kuati council thinks the Moff is after you :p

[Park Kraken]

*Prods Yeart*

you have some posting to do mister.

[Quenn Yeartel]

Yeah yeah sorry, I've been busy translating a crappy children's book.... should have a post up tonight before I leave...

Oh, and I'll be gone from tomorrow until sunday night so don't look at me for new posts....

[Park Kraken]

Whoopsy, seems you've posted. And here I am still waiting on a post for you. My post should be up by tonight.

[Quenn Yeartel]

Ahh... well I don't really get the time to be much online but I'll look at it later or so and check if you posted, then I'll try to reply asap.

[Yeart Quenn]

Your turn, Parky!

[Park Kraken]

No, it's your turn silly.

[Yeart Quenn]

Ahhhh but...

[Yeart Quenn]

... now it's your turn again.

[Park Kraken]

Really? Last time I checked, it was your turn.

[Yeart Quenn]

You must have checked at the wrong time. Check again!

[Yeart Quenn]

You still around...?

[Park Kraken]

Yeah, I've been bogged down recently getting ready for the upcoming wedding. I'll try and post sometime tomorrow.

[Qourr Mhawat]

Guess we're both sort of bogged down by other stuff right now...

[Yeart Quenn]

Hey Parky - and Travis!

You both still around? We should continue these two threads....

[Park Kraken]

Yeah I'm still around, I've just been busy lately. Right now I have the flu, so until I get over that I won't be writingh mch of anything anytime soon.

[Yeart Quenn]

You know we've had this thread together and all....? I'm sorta waiting....

What were the plans for this again?

[Park Kraken]

Whoops, didn't realize it was my turn to post.

I'll post this evening, I promise. And the thread is about the refit of the VSDs. I think we'll keep it at that, instead of going into the extending after storyline.

[Yeart Quenn]

Alrightie.... so no meeting technicians and all that?

[Park Kraken]

No, I don't think so. I think this thread needs to end rather quick, before it stagnates and never ends up finishing.
