Okay folks!
Here are some ideas I've had for our fleet run-on story,
VEN: Heart of the Fleet.
We need to add a few locations to the
Atrus. Remember, the idea of the run-on is for character development and non-combat posts, and I feel that we need to flesh out some parts of the colossal ship to encourage that sort of writing.
Firstly, and this is one I will use in my own next post for HotF, is a
grav-ball court. This sport was played in the old Imperial Academy, and it would be great to make it a background feature of the VEN too. We can write posts about watching or even participating in games, representing our ships and squadrons in matters of inter-fleet pride!
Second location is a Tactical Hologram Simulator. Games of pitting virtual fleets against each other are also part of the Star Wars canon for the Imperial Academy and Navy, so I think that the VEN would have this too. Think of a room with pool-table sized hologram projectors, where naval personnel can battle each other for fun (and pride) in their downtime. These posts will be about great tactical fleet encounters, using simulated forces from Star Wars history. Want to write a post about the Republic and Sith Empire fleets clashing during the Great Galactic War? Go for it!
Third location is going to be a bar. I imagine that a ship of 250,000 people would have several bars, so people can write about any they wish. However, I would like to create a 'special' bar, fully detailed, complete with a theme, a name, NPCs, and more. This would give us a familiar place to set the ever-popular "bar stories" that make up so much CD!
So I will leave this thread open for discussion. What would you all like to see from our special bar? Indeed, what other locations do you think the
Atrus should have? Remember, is a
big ship, with a population comparable to a city. It must have a
lot on it!
