I am ordering 1 Scythe class Gunship into production. It will be ready by tomorrow morning OOC time.

[Park Kraken]

1 Glorious class Battleship: Completion Date: 7/28/03.

[Park Kraken]

Okay, I asked Agent Charley about ship build times, and the 250 meter per day rule has long since been abandoned. So I am enforcing a new 1000 Meter a day rule, which is fitting for such a large yard as the Corellian Shipyards. So everything will be completed by the time I get back from vacation. By then, hopefully, Telan will be back, and we can organize a "Shakedown" cruise for this new fleet on a Rebel world.

[Teleran Balades]

Have a good time. Does this mean Tchort and I will have to take care of the soveriegnty if something odd pops up while you're away.:uhoh

[Park Kraken]

I will leave a lengthy list of manuevers and tatics if need be. But by the time I leave, my new battlefleet should be comissioned, so use it as a emergency response fleet if need be. It will be deployed to Thyferra nominally.

[Jarek T'chort]

With the current rate of production and the new weapons systems Thyferra has little to fear from any attack.
Admiral, will you be able to assemble for Grand Admiral Desaria an armada reminiscent as Lord Vaders or Admiral Giels?
I have to point out, however, that with all the new systems, perhaps resources are being diverted from the standard production lines?

[Telan Desaria]

Production times are irrelevant. completion dates are irrelevant.

The common sense rules state that the bean counting, that is keeping a list of ships, is against the rules. That is to stop anyone from saying I have this and you don't. Everythingis know based on one's ability as a writer.

My orders are as follows:

Admiral Kracken will make a brief rp in the Royal Courtyard forum. It must be at least five posts long and stretch over seven days. This will be your overseeing the construction of a small kampfgruppe for your personal use.

Thyferra is well defended. It has its own defense force, and no additional forces are to be stationed there. You may travel there and reinforce it wih your personal flagships when you arrive, but it's defense is well taken care of. Pickets, mines, an interdiction net, and four defense platforms as well as a sizeable Destroyer squadron are protecting her.

Note- The Centurion-class Star Destroyer is a massive beattleship whose purpose is to act alone. It is also still in r and d.

Kracken - our ship at Hilari is Centurion you said. Then you must note some design flaws and shakedown compensations as it would have to be a prototype. The line is not ready for production. The Corellian yards are producing Star Destroyers. I have plans. Please trust me.

[Park Kraken]

So, in other words, a thread 5 posts long, lasting seven OOC days, with me overseeing the construction of my personal warfleet? Just to clarify, I don't know what a kampfgruppe is.

[Teleran Balades]

Kampfgruppe is German for fighter group

[Jarek T'chort]

^Actually it means Battlegroup. As in 'Kampfgruppe Peiper' etc.

[Telan Desaria]

well done. You've just earned a medal.

Yes. I want this to be more involved than just statistics. Believe me, I have a talent for logistics and organization and I love lists of fleets. I do it for fun, but I do not post them as it would not be liked by others.

And that was not a mandate, just a guideline. If you write one smashing, long,. detailed post that is good enough for me. The more you put in, the more you can get out.

[Park Kraken]

Ah, so this will cover the construction, orginization, and shakedowning, as well as posting, of the battlegroup, my Kido Butai.

[Park Kraken]

So what vessels are to make up my fleet? Approved types only, or can I build prototypes of the designs that were denied?

[Telan Desaria]

designs that were denied I did so because they were superfluous. They are unneeded, Look at it from a logistical stanbdpoint. Why would we manufacture seven differnet kinds of light cruisers to do the same task? That would create a hell when it came to creating spare parts and organizing refits. Training crews would take forever and transfering one from ione class to another would require its entire reschooling in new systems, layout, and command and control procedure.

Your battlegroup, whose purpose has yet to be made lcear, may comprise six ships and shall be officially dubbed the 10th Rapid Assault squadron. Whether you include light fast attack vessels or plodding battleships is no difference, for security purposes we shall title it as such. Limit yourself to six. Build only three or four and add your Centurion prototype as another and one support vessel of an undetermined class as your escort.

Construction will take place at the Thyferran yards. You will have six bays at your disposal.

IC time is to be a month. You may rp the time directly before the Hilari campaign and at the very end receive workd of it and be transferred there to command. The reason your fleet is not with you is because it is being organized for fleet trials and maneuvers.
