Thanks Zafo. Good to be here, I'm anxiously waiting whatever Sam has planned for us, all the while cracking down on some good old fashion Spec stories. 4 down, 16 to go. I think....

Alright, here is what is going down. While DD is in this rebuilding phase, I would like to encourage those still around to work on the platoon story. That would be priority over a squad story anyhow. Then if you are at a stand still on that story, which really shouldn't happen, then you are welcome to take a stab at specialty stories.

Any questions about this feel free to ask.

First off, Welcome Tanus to the Dark Dragoons and Congratulations to ZaFo in moving to ASL.

We've lost a number of people off the roster, but they weren't there when they were on the roster so it isn't too big of a loss.

Fury has posted the Dark Dragoons' orders for Chapter 8.5 and here they are!

History:
Abregado-rae is a manufacturing and trade-oriented planet in the Abregado system in the Core Worlds, sitting at the beginning of the Rimma Trade Route. It is also the beginning of the Shapani Bypass or the "Bacta Run".

The planet was first discovered in 10,000 BBY when Galactic Republic scouts discovered the planet while exploring what would become the Rimma Trade Route, though colonization would not occur for millennia yet.

Before the Clone Wars, a number of residents of Abregado-rae, along with other natives on the Rimma Trade Route joined the Nebula Front. This organization was against corporate monopoly and decadent government, but was dissolved when it's leaders were killed or arrested by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

During the Clone Wars, Abregado-rae was the origin of the Shapani Bypass, a shortcut along the Rimma Trade Route that was used to quicken the delivery of Bacta from Thyferra to the Core Worlds.

During the Galactic Civil War, the local Humans sided with the Rebellion when they arrived to liberate the planet.

The planet eventually saw the founding of the Tundei regime, led by the Tundei Tribunal, by a Herglic named Shelov who along with other offworlders, promised a planet without crime. They installed harsh limits on freedom and stopped all legal shipments of food to separatists in the mountains in an attempt to stifle opposition. This caused it to be a common smuggling destination for foodstuffs. The regime eventually made the cost of running illegal operations on the planet so costly, that all illegal investment in Abregado-rae swiftly pulled out, nearly destroying the economy.

The regime has also allowed virtually the entire Moocher population be destroyed when the possible outbreak of Veizen Fever, a disease which drove Moochers mad, was thought capable of spreading to the resident Gados.

Operation Order

I. Situation

A. Enemy Forces

1. Identification of enemy forces:  Mix of local militia, planetary forces and New Republic "advisors". Dependent on your mission you may run into all three.

2. Location(s): Detention facilities, spaceports, government installations, military bases, routine patrols

3. Strength, morale, and capabilities/equipment: Well-equipped, highly motivated, and confident. The local forces are concerned about the threat of Thrawn and other Imperial forces, so your armor should be a force multiplier against these forces.

4. Probable course(s) of action: Will stand their fight and attempt to encircle Imperial forces for reinforcements to mop up.

B. Friendly Forces

1. Vast Empire forces and whatever allied rebel groups you may come into contact with.

II. Mission

Dark Dragoons are to identify key individual dissidents held in a light security facility outside of the capital city. These are independence leaders imprisoned by the regime for advocating no alliances with any outside force, NR/Empire/anyone. A quick break-in and release is key, as well as getting the primary leaders away and turned over to planetary resistance groups.

III. Execution

Intent

A. Concept of the Operation

1. Maneuver:

Get on planet, avoid detection, plot an effective escape route for next mission.

2. Fires:

Variable on mission goals.

B. Coordinating Instructions

1. Departure and reentry of friendly lines.
Once dirtside, you are operating alone. Other squads may be performing additional missions but you are not to

2. Actions on enemy contact:  Quickly neutralize any enemy contact to avoid discovery.

3. Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIR): Obtain list of targets and schedules

4. Timeframe:  Once one the ground, consider one day of combined reconnaissance and contact with local resistance groups who will assist with providing the list of leaders needed. You may consider working with the locals as well as making this op look like a local operation. This will be up to the squad leader.

C. Medical Evacuation:

Contingent on local resources

D. Personnel:

Literally, take no prisoners. Except, you know, the ones you are trying to release.

E. Miscellaneous:

1. Special equipment.

N/A

2. Captured equipment.

TBD by squad leader

IV. Command & Signal

A. Command
TBD by squad leader

B. Signal
TBD by squad leader


There you all have it. keep this in mind when the story begins.

Well, it seems I should've checked the roster before tossing out that rant eh? I didn't realize how many people had been removed and that there are only four of us, including Sam and Myself.

Let this be a clean start for the Dragoons, we've been plagued with a long time of in-activity, and I think it's about time that ended!

Though there are much fewer of us than I thought, I think we should still dish out at least one Specialty story to get us back in the writing grove. Anyone lacking a specialty should get in touch with Rizzit.

Oh, and how could I forget,
Welcome to the Squad, Tanus.


Leets dooo thiis.

Alright guys, our chapter 8.5 topic is up. So let's get going and have some fun!

Just so everyone is clear as to where we are currently, we are on the VSD Dominion, which means we are on a Victory class Star Destroyer and thus in space. Just felt that needed to be said so that nobody does something that would normally be done planet side and not in space.

Anyhow, let's go have fun.

You guys do know that there is a competition going on correct? Yes that is correct. You should check out the Army main comnet for more information on it. I say let's make DD take all categories of this event. Read up on it and let's take it by the horns!!

Guys, we are doing quite well on the story. Let's keep it up. Way to take the initiative. Should we maintain this pace or better (which is what I'd kinda like) something tells me we will be able to take this mission in new creative directions.

Remember to have fun with this, that is what it is for.
