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!

The 'Porthole' bar, as discussed in this story.

The Black Hole bar, as discussed in this story.

Pieces of history right there.. Additionally, I think we should have a sort of 'Nexus' for VENI on board the ship somewhere. A headquarters away from home, per se.

Finally, I think there needs to be a specific gymnasium. I myself used the gym in a few of my stories; I know I'm not the only one.. so..yeah, gym.

Raivor, out.

I'm really happy to see the renewed interest, guys!  I like the gym/pool suggestions, and I'm glad we're fleshing out the 19-km-long behemoth a bit. 

Keep it up and take advantage of the Heart of the Fleet thread while you wait for the new official story arc - it's going to be a big one, and it's coming really soon!

All great ideas!  Crew news would be fun, and yes, a VENI hub would be a must on the flagship.  And Raivor, I shall have a look at those stories when I get a chance, thanks for the links!

Keep the ideas coming folks!

Trykon: I might get a post up on HotF soon -- VENI action on board seems interesting.

Serpent: Don't worry about checking those links out. I used them for reference, squadron stories which took place largely in the two bars..

I'd love to get a post up detailing a grav-ball game further, in the next week!

Okay here's my idea for the bar

Name: A Lil Bit Like Home

Also I think that the banners from the past Elite Squadrons' should be in there.
There are many aspects of the Force we have no knowledge of. The subject still requires further research and study.
