The INQ might be very interested in the alliance tech that has been scheming up. How they would have found out would have to be worked out of course. Mebe a traitor in the alliance ala the Toxic Six?
Anyone want to play a small with a small squad or two of INQ soldiers crashing the party during the mayhem?
Will the fleet be needed in this? I did not think anyone was writing the alliance fleet part. And is the goal still make an example of the wookies and to raze Kashyyyk? If the goal of the Alliance is to escape and get as many off planet as possible I can write some fleet evac stuff. Otherwise Kraken is NPCing the alliance fleet involvment I think.
someone let a fish know.....
From what I understand is happening.
Stage 1: Imperial forces are attempting to land ground forces and push their way into the depths of Kashyyk to flush out Wookie Sympathizers/Rebel fighters.
Stage 2: The Imperial ground forces get beaten back.
Stage 3: The Imperial in fleet in orbit (very much a large one from what it sounds like) bombs the planet from orbit. Leaving those below to try to fight the fires/flee from planet/ hide, etc.
Stage 4: The actual conclusion of how this thread would end hasn't been very clear. Kraken mentioned the Imperial forces pulling back after the bombing. There was also mentions of rebels attempting to punch through the blockading Imps to try and rescue/carry off any surviving wookies.
Reshmar - I was going to have the Rebs call in Colonel Starborn (Dash's father) at some point and whatever naval power he has, so if you want to send some reinforcements along with him that would be great. Probbably at Stage 3/4 as people make their fleeing escape.
The tech we came for is obviously just a macguffin which will probably explode spectacularly during some firefoght!

OK cool I was just wondering what was going on and if I needed to help out. Sounds like its under control I look forward to reading.
I can bring my INQ assassin into the ploy as a field agent leading a squad of INQs. Should be interesting to have him fight wookies.
I think the Empire will go ahead and occupy the planet, with the Rebel fleet staging a feint attack on the blockade to allow evacuees to flee to safe haven.
Wanna just barge in and hot-drop from high altitude with style?
I was thinking of getting either Sarah or Jakys involved. I'm good with your INQ character as well. Which ever of the two involved with be overall in charge but on the ground the scouts (your character and any seekers) would go out ahead on their own.
Does that work for you or do you have something else in mind? I can write up an intro post as soon as you get back to me.
If no one minds I would like to join in with the Triumphant. She and her escort could be close by and provide a massive amount of fighters to assist with the Evacuation. Anyone wishing to do a bit of fighter jock writing can just jump in as part of any of Triumphant's fighter wings or attack freighters.
It wont be much just a small bit of supporting the evac and jump out and background fluff stuff. the Triumphant wont even be in system she will launch her fighters and they will jump in and assist the force attempting to escape. anyone who feels free to NPC any sort of fighter protection or foghter action can do so. I figure on sending in 36 out of the 48 squadrons to assist. a dozen assault shuttles plus a half dozen or so freighters to help evac people and offer search and rescue for ejected fighter pilots.
It would be very helpful to have some cavalry, when we do need to start getting people off-world - though I suppose the majority of the Wookiee population will end up Imperial slaves.
I figure they will. The reason the Triumphant is in the area is to run raids on slave trader convoys coming out of Kashyyk so I figure we can liberate a few that way down the line.
Another INQ character would like to get in on this (as soon as he gets off his lazy rump and finishes his work, that is); though it'd likely be Vel Aath instead of Atrapes. This could serve as a neat little backdrop for Vel Aath's one unfinished assignment coming to a close...
I don't mind being commanded by some INQ agent up in orbit, just so long as I get to kill and blow up stuff in style.
I could also bring in my alliance character and her taskforce to run starfighter interference.
Orbit? No no no, I'll be hot-dropping in with you boys. Cause all the havok you wish, my goal is the rebel research facility. As long as you keep them distract them away from Mr. Rossos and I, you may have your fun.
:: cracks knuckles ::
This will be fun to watch.
Destroy them. All of them
How long have you been waiting to say that?
I could also bring in my alliance character and her taskforce to run starfighter interference
Your group could Assist Colonel Starborn and his group and escort in the Calamari Evacuation Cruiser Hope and protect it while it lands and escapes with survivors. The fighters and armored freighters from the Triumphant will keep the SSD and Imps busy
Post will be up later today. One last final left and I'm home free to do whatever.
Mmmkay then. For future reference, the section of battles happening will occur on an isolated continent full of forests. The continent will be razed towards the end of the thread, but the rest of the continents will be spared and occupied by the Empire.
The battlefleet, or at least part of it, will split up and pursue the evacuating Alliance personnel. This will be covered in followup threads, but I'm thinking maybe the Alliance will gain some measure of revenge by severly damaging and driving off one of the Imperial pursuit Taskforces, and I have a plan for another taskforce pursuing my Alliance character that will bring about some interesting changes for the balance of power.
As a note, the Inquisitors are flying one of these:

Sorry I didn't make a mention before. The sucker is fairly big and will be taking a lot of flak-fire (I figure even with the big guns down, the rebels have been suppling at AA guns and the like).
We'll be taking drop-pods in to avoid flak turrets and get in the fight as fast as possible.
INQ soldiers will be mostly equipped with E-11s modified for short-range and high-power, climbing equipment, side arms, and close combat weapons. The a few will be carrying specialized equipment and ammo. Don't get too carried away, though, still gotta play by the rules.
About a dozen soldiers in addition to Shadow, Val, and Sarah.
