I have been watching the boards very closely-as much as I could, and there has been no response from the New Republic to the Imperial Incursion into Rebel Territory. This surprises me. One would think that the final meeting between the two galactic archnemises would bring about the most titantic series of threads and posts we've ever seen. But instead, an entire armada of fully armed and operational-sound familiar?-Imperial warships sit at the doorstep of the NR without opposition. What has become of us-I ask, rhetorically, philisopihcally, and realisitcally.
The Empire, in all rights, should be taking advantage of the 36-hr time frame and cutting broad swathes out of colonized enemy space. But instead, the most powerful unified armada it has fielded in months sits, prostrate, at the edge and brink of war. Why is this, when one single, Guild-class Star Destroyer, venturing into NR space, caused a flurry of excitement and brought about an SSD and a number of smaller warships to surround it with all dispatch.
I
I guess my only answers come in theories. The New Republic may be scared of starting a Galactic War, and thus will allow the Empire to take whatever it wants, maim and destroy whatever and whomever it wills, and then hope it leaves for the bases and sectors it calls home; then, the healing can begin. Or, the second, more painful analysis, is that the NR hasn't the resources to combat an invasion of this size-and I mean not eman and matierale-I speak of leaders who stand of the bridges of warships and issue commands and enthralling words that encourage and galvanize a crew to higher things it had never thought possible.
I have seen the roster for the New Republic Fleet and it is indeed impressive-I for one would like to know where it got all those Star Destroyers-it was surely before I became Inspecter General of the Imperial Destroyerate, because no one's thefted any from my yards. So resources are not lacking. A titantic battle looms on the horizon, and space must soon erput into a conflagraion that will change the galaxy for ever. But I propose it will be for the better.
OOC, the prospect of a war between the two superpower creates a welth of story ideas, all the way from bounty hunters cashing in on one sides bid to capture an infamous commerce raider or fleet commander-ahem-to the Jedi, gallantly defending Yavin IV from an asault again, or given coy advice to an Admiral who needs counsel in the heat of battle. To the Sith, who could take advantage of the chaos to rebuild their wartorn Empire, or seek rvenge on the Jedi. To those elusive Conclaves, who could quickly rise to be a thorn in both aggressor's sides...the possibilities are endless. I only ask that all parties give it the needed consideration and allow the war to begin and see where it turns. I for one, and looking to hone my war record and find love on my flagship-sotry ideas I've planned out already-
This from the perspective of an Imperial. But we too need the war. We have bcome stagnate. To be honest, while our Fleet is large and our army the rival of any that marches in the galaxy, we have barely enough central staffing to control it. We lose leaders to other things, or keep them sporadically. A war would entice people to all sides and rivet the community for many months to come...
