Minor Repairs OOC (Kalidor... Termagant?)

[Bette Davis]

http://75.126.43.122/forum/showthread.php?p=341592#post341592

For Kalidor based characters, and maybe any Shadows that are still kicking around somewhere.

The RP is in the Kuat shipyards, where Kalidor has put in for some minor repairs. Hijinks or whatever can now ensue. However, if Termagant is also docked for supplies or repairs, then whatever Shadows there are can come out to play as well.

We could have a brawl between two groups, with Bette caught in the middle :p Or whatever. Very open to wherever the thing goes, even if someone decides that there's an attack and we all have to suit up and repel the Rebels who are skirmishing at the shipyards.

[Carré Inirial]

Love it :D

(let's pretend mobile-fans does not hate me and that this posted as Vitra)

Tavik! Wanna use this as my intro, too?

[Tiercel Habrok]

Shore leave!

That doesn't involve running errands!

:ohno

[Emelie Shadowstar]

(Tavik mode)

...I am highly amused by the fact I JUST sent you an IM suggesting that. XD

I figure we can tie in odd loose ends and clean up the wiki at this point too... *nod*

[Vikki Tavik]

Shore leave!

That doesn't involve running errands!

:ohno

Wystalin wants you to pick up his dry-cleaning.

:ohno

Again?

What is he doing with that saucy maids outfit that it needs professional cleaning so often? And why does it look suspiciously like it would fit you?

[Vikki Tavik]

...because Wystalin is a pervert and apparently had the garment made based upon the various averages of female members of the crew? :|

...ok, in all seriousness I'll probably post to the thread tomorrow since my brain is pretty much goo right now (I blame work)

[Tarrick Ragnus]

Mind if I crash the party with my ships?

[Vikki Tavik]

Well... I think this is more of an off-duty thread to start with so not sure what fun your ships would have. :p

But if you just wanted to be hanging around the repair yards and attempt to socialize with a bunch of pilots, I don't see why not. Bette... you started the thread though, you ok with Tarrick jumping in? :)

[Bette Davis]

Its pretty much open to Imps in general, characters in particular, not fleet RPing.

So, a character building RP, not a combat RP.

So, yes, is what I'm trying to say. The Kuat driveyards are a big and busy place. Try not to do anything too separate from the rest of the action though, that makes a roleplay hard to read. :)

[Tarrick Ragnus]

Cool. In my current thread, one of my ships will be damaged and putting in for repairs. Since I don't really care to stand on a bridge and watch a ship being repaired... to the bar that is most likely filled with drunk pilots with me. No turbolasers to fire, but that won't stop me from shooting off my mouth.

EDIT : This thought came to my mind and I just want to put it out there. If any Imperial Squadron wants to base itself from one of my ships, I'm more than happy to accomodate. It would give my character some interpersonal activity since not all my missions will be combat.

[Vikki Tavik]

I lied about posting tomorrow. :mischief

I figure whatever goes down in the bar will be a great "Welcome to the Kalidor" for dear Vitra.

Also keeps us all in more or less one place. Again... should keep things simple/moving at first. We can go crazy when we all get in the thread later, I figure. :)

Sounds good!

As far as being based on one of your ships we could possibly move the Shadows to your ship. Mayhaps!

edit: wrong account, this is Bette :p

[Tarrick Ragnus]

no problem. This is Bette too. You just don't know it yet.

[Bette Davis]

:uhoh

Spooky!

[Cael Bathala]

Welp, I threw both my pilots into the mix. Habrok is with Tavik, naturally, and Cael is just wandering off to the bar to drink/forget that he gave up a lucrative swoop racing career for this.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Still waiting on more people to post! :)

edit: and I see more have lol

edit edit: I was informed that Smix transferred out of Hellfire Squadron a while ago and is now a shuttle pilot (see RP Errand Boys), so I changed my first post to reflect that, btw.

[Cael Bathala]

:uhoh I better edit too.

[Kistra Dubreas]

We lost Smixxy? :(

*kicks Cael* update this then, dangit. http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=20300

...wait... so am I your wingman or are you mine? :uhoh And if I'm yours then doesn't it become wingwoman?

[Cael Bathala]

So long, Kidd. You will save us a hell of a lot in 'fighter bodywork and paintjob touch-ups.

I can be your wingman, no problem, Seven ;)

[Jakys Sei'trem]

Oi, mind if I join in? Not a pilot really, but I do work for the Government.....sorta.

Waiting for those damn transports back to Imperial Center and the like y'know.

[Bette Davis]

Go for it :)

[Tannis V'larr]

...wait... so am I your wingman or are you mine? :uhoh And if I'm yours then doesn't it become wingwoman?

I know it's still "wingman," just like if you were starting college you'd be a freshman...

But I'm actually a little fuzzy on the first part. I'd think it would be like partners, so you're each other's wingman... everybody has a wingman watching their back, even if one of them might be the senior officer. There's also such a thing as a wing commander, but that would have to be whoever's in charge of a whole wing (three squadrons), right?

The Wing Commander series messed me up by teaching me a wing was two fighters... >_<

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Wait, a wing is three squadrons?

*facepalm*

[Tannis V'larr]

Actually, according to Wookieepedia (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Fighter_wing), the Empire uses "wing" to refer to the full fighter complement of an ISD, which is six squadrons, or seventy-two fighters. Ground support wings, however, consist of ten flights of four fighters each. For the Rebel Alliance, a wing is three squadrons (thirty-six fighters).

Confused yet? Great.

[Karl Valten]

Different Air Force, different number of birds, same designation. Really the reason for this is that ISD carry 6 squadrons and Rebel Cruisers generally carry 3.

Makes sense from a logistical stand point.


Imperial:

Wing: 6 Squadrons (72 birds)
Squadron: 4 Flights (12 Birds)
Flight: 3 Birds

Technically each pilot would have 2 wingmen. Of course that's all bean counting and we really don't care.

[Tannis V'larr]

I thought it was three flights of four in a squadron? Regardless, that's how we've always done it here, and it's how we're planning to continue doing it.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Rogues operate on 4 fighters per flight, Hellfire on 3 per flight.

Oh the confusion!

(Does it really matter all that much?)

[Malick Raine]

Answer: No it really doesn't

On another note I will try to get to this thread later tonight and post my grand entrance. Itching to play this character again.

[Travis North]

Fighter squadrons are modular for different purposes. It's generally 3-4 per flight, sometimes pairs, and occasionally any other numerical division within 12. It really depends on the task at hand and which flight/attack pattern the squadron is using as a tactic to break the enemy.

[Travis North]

Double Post:

Given that this RP is already underway I'm not gonna barge in with orders right now. However, near the end of it Travis will be calling for Tarrick's ships, along with the Termagant, to head for the Bespin system.

[Tarrick Ragnus]

Cool I just posted arriving and dismissed my crew. Now time to really put them in the pisser by calling them back. Ah the life of an Imperial Captain.

EDIT: Since the pilots are all crowded into a cheap crappy sweaty bar, I think the Officers should be in the Officer's Club which is like a Bazillion times better eating rare food and getting our toes licked by Female Twi'leks and our back scratched by the horns of Female Zabraks.

[Jakys Sei'trem]

Bah, there's an officer's lounge in the Imperial forums. You git yourself down here with the rest of us.

[Karl Valten]

Hey, this would be right before the Admonisher and taskforce take off for Bespin right?

Crew transfers, new orders and assignments, and the like would make sense for part of the storyline.

Reason I'm mentioning is that Jakys Sei'Trem is going to be the new Inquisitoriate representative on Bespin. I think it would be amusing for him to hitch a ride with the task force...and see the reactions at "oh, shit, the alien is an Inquisitor" or whatever response happens.

Are people okay with Jakys tagging along?

[Bette Davis]

Sounds appropriately fraught with drama. :):thumbup

[Karl Valten]

It does seem to follow Shadow Squadron around doesn't it.

[Jakys Sei'trem]

On another note. Cael, great post! This will be fun to read.

[Malick Raine]

There a bunch of great posts had to dish out some rep. :)

[Aura Kolar]

Dude, you hit me with a glass. Are you sure your aren't a reaver? This will be a great underlying story for the rest of our stay in the squadron, that's for sure.

Kudos because I didn't see that one coming. Now time to post me getting my butt whooped. Hopefully Ker will step in and save my sorry hide.. and then drag me back to her bunk for "sweet tender mercies".

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Still waiting on Aliya. :) Don't get too carried away others, you'll lose everyone else.

[Malick Raine]

Um she posted just before I did so actually we are waiting on Bette and Tannis. :mischief

My Character may have a few issues. lol Yes it should make for some interesting stuff though.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

HA that's what I get for not reading the thread before I read the OOC one. ;) Sorry :p

[Nicky Raine]

Uh what kind of trouble has my brother caused?

[Malick Raine]

Now I think it's Cael and Kerr's turn or someone from Bloodfin

[Tannis V'larr]

Congratulations, Malick and Zethra! You've just earned a spot with Hellfire Squadron. :mad

;)

[Malick Raine]

*hands Tannis a note from Imperial High command with a cocky grin.*

Good luck with that request until I'm off protective custody (following the investigation into my father) unless I choose to transfer I'm Shadow Five.

That and I think the military has something against siblings being the same squadron.

[Nicky Raine]

Congratulations, Malick and Zethra! You've just earned a spot with Hellfire Squadron. :mad

;)


Oh frak no, no frakking god dam way is he going to be in the same squad as me.

[Malick Raine]

I was wondering though could we do sort of a BSG kind of thing where all do are Imperial duty and train these Nugget's? All of Shadow adding it's words of wisdom to these young doomed...erm future pilots?

Sort of a mentor program I guess you could say each pilot on shadow taking there turn or hell make it a group effort.

[Kerryna Khapst]

You've been rescued, Zeth ;)

[Rhinn Ikthoos]

Couldn't log in as Zethra, so this will have to do until I remember the password.


Congratulations, Malick and Zethra! You've just earned a spot with Hellfire Squadron. :mad ;)

Kaine and Raine at your service. We should travel around the Empire with an act.

I'll take Nicky Raine. Nothing like getting back at that bum-licker brother of hers than to date his sister.



You've been rescued, Zeth ;)


You're callsign should be Broadside since the Reavers never saw it coming.

[Tannis V'larr]

Broadside's not exactly complimentary...

She could be Bombshell. ;)




I do like the idea of cooperation between Shadows and Hellfires. Tannis has a strong flight training history (http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=20950) and doesn't want to completely dissolve the sparkling rapport that Bette has already formed with the trainees. ;)

Also, this barfight will most certainly have consequences. In a lot of ways, Tannis will be a more lenient squadron commander than Commander Grisham was, and he'll give his two flight leaders, Bette and Aliya, a great deal of latitude, but he will not turn a blind eye to insubordinate and downright dangerous behavior. Picking a fight with a rival squadron is bad enough; actively inviting several more squadrons to come beat on your squadmates is several degrees worse.

The Shadows will be lined up for their dressing-down after the barfight. ;)

[Aura Kolar]

Hey I figured it out. What my alter ego above me said.

You already know I agree with it on an OOC stance. :clap IC I do not yet know what Malick will think of such a concept.

Malick: You better stay the hell away from sister Kaine. If you don't, you will find out what your turds taste like and I got hundred cred's riding on it ain't chocolate.

[Bette Davis]

A dressing down? Tannis, I had no idea you felt that way. :love

:lol

And I'm TRYING to do the right thing for once!

[Cael Bathala]

Since Hellfire Squadron doesn't have a leader, I'm assuming I can do whatever I want and get no reprocussions. I mean, what more punishment can I get than to be assigned to this frakkin squadron?

[Malick Raine]

It's any of the Bloodfins turn (if they wish to go) and Jakys and Aliyas turn.

[Karl Valten]

I will post as Jakys as soon as I finish cooking and eating dinner.

Until then, keep the barfight going. This amuses me.

[Tarrick Ragnus]

I wonder if I should request for the Reavers to join the Admonisher as well.

[Dasquian Belargic]

That will end well :lol

[Kerryna Khapst]

I'm not sure the Admonisher has a large enough med-bay for that *lol*

[Tannis V'larr]

"Captain Ragnus, it is my unfortunate duty to inform you that all ships in Reaver Squadron suffered a spontaneous IFF malfunction during our joint mission. They appeared to our targeting scanners as Rebel X-Wings. I'm afraid in the resulting confusion the entire squadron was lost."

*sniff*

[Aliya Vahlshalynn]

(sniffs too and then downs a shot)

Poor guys.

(downs another)

Really. Terrible

(gets another and wonders where the frell Shooter is)

;)

[Rhinn Ikthoos]

Well that's too bad. I guess I better console all the female widows that are left. Turn them from the darkside to the bedside.

yeah baby.

[Nagal Aursoni]

Guess I'll see you all on the Admonisher. Naga and the Shadows who didn't show at the bar will be transferring the TIE Defenders to the Admonisher's bay.

[Cael Bathala]

Bette - are we done in this thread?

[Tannis V'larr]

I do intend to deliver some judgment on our two troublemakers, Zethra Kaine and Malick Raine. That was pretty much going to end the thread, so I didn't want to do it prematurely.

Plus, kind of awkward for everyone to just write their character showing up in the hangar when all that's really happening is a speech from Tannis. I'll put some kind of cap on it whenever y'all are done. :)

[Tiercel Habrok]

We (me, Vitra and Vikki) are still playing out a bit of story :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

We may be running into Aliya on our way to Kalidor to pack our things, but if she doesnt' post then we're done.

[Miranda Tarkin]

Crap! I forgot to post >_<

I'll kick Chipper in the ass

[Karl Valten]

Jeez, I'm the one that's behind.

I'll catch up on reading and quick post.
