Alrighty boys and girls, I apologize for this delay in our story. Kami's been having comp trouble, so I'm going to blame her.
And I'm lazy, of course, but that's obviously not the problem here.
Post, and advancement, sometime tomorrow. I hope you're all ready to go.

Alight, Dec has set the scene nicely for the rest of y'all to do some writing. I'm not the best at describing space battles so I'm going to amuse myself by hacking up everyone I run into on the Star Destroyer, but it would muchly appreciate it if the rest of you Captains (and swabbies) still in the air could keep things flowing outside.
In regards to Helm's pirates: There's a fair few of them (they outnumber Osk), mostly uglies and smaller support craft, so feel free to kill off a few dozen if you need scapegoats. We don't want them to get too mauled however as I have need of them later on. As we charge suicidally at our ISD they'll be tackling the trio of Lancer Frigates at our back.
The planet's location, and description of the moon we will eventually be assaulting have been left deliberately vague. The intel which Kami originally received is FUBAR so it's she and the other Senior Captains are basically making things up as they go. Feel free to identify the nameless defence force we're fighting (it is private corporation run so will be well equipped and trained) and fill in any other details that you need to.
The actual loot...well we still haven't managed to agree on that. Suggestions most welcome. Posts on the thread even more so.

Why does the loot need to be a thing?
Ever seen pulp fiction? The briefcase Vince is carrying? You never find out what it is, you just know its important and makes people gawk in awe when they look upon it.
Things for for losers anyway. Everyone has things. But a vague, poorly described thing? They are few and far between

I thought it was thoroughly explained in Pulp Fiction that there was pure, solid gold bars in there.

Jager, my idea exactly. Pull a Pulp Fiction.
And actually the only explanation we ever got for what was in the case was from Tarantino "A bunch of lights" more or less.

The only problem I can forsee with the loot being something vague and poorly described (like Rons mother), is that you can only let one, or at most, two people see it. IE; only Kami lays eyes upon it, everyone else just either sees what its carried in, or hears second/third/tenth hand accounts of it. Otherwise you'll have us all talking about something we, literally, dont know a damned thing about. Which leads into another problem, suddenly the entire story is pushed forward by one person (The person who's seen the loot). And last time I checked, that was something we were trying to avoid... Anyway. Thats my two cents (five cents if we're working with Aus currency). I still think the tarantino-briefcase loot is the best idea so far. lets go with that. Quote:I thought it was thoroughly explained in Pulp Fiction that there was pure, solid gold bars in there.
And yet Vince carries it around with ease? Gold is heavy, man.

I like the briefcase concept, and I now have a pretty solid idea of what will be inside.
Anyhow, plan is: Knock out the defenses in the air with the help of Helm's pirates, then assault the compound/base on the nearby moon to retrieve this mysterious case. And then get terribly drunk.
...or just get drunk and then do the first two things. Post away!

Right. I've moved us forward again since the thread has seemed to grind to a halt. We can now move onto the assault on Sketan II. Defense systems and any resistance we meet there can be as varied as you like. Have some fun and kill some peeps.
Raz, hope you don't mind me stealing you momentarily

I'm already down there with the three ships that slipped the battle. Its a slaughter house. 75-90% casualties from the new guys and two ships, with the third grounded for good but providing cover for the last 10%.
But a rough beachhead has been... established, I guess. I figured they'd have some sort of atmospheric sheild up, or whatever you'd call a habitable bubble over their facility.
Either way, they've been backed into a corner and they've had time to prepare.
I'm busy on and off for the next two-three days, might try and post before then. If not. meh.

Alright, the story thread is locked. Thanks to those of you who participated the whole way through. We really lost momentum at the halfway mark and that was the death knell to a potentially extensive story.
Snipes is already in the process of coming up with our next story: So those of you who have drifted off over the last few weeks keep your eyes peeled for the next topic on the tales board.
