People ask me why I hate e-mail.  The reason is it doesn't always work for me.  The AWOL check should've had a message on it.  It obiviously didn't.  [sigh]

Btw, you know how Kad put in that whole message dealy at the top.  I'm going to say, if you want, use that as your report/AWOL message creater thing...  Since you, Dar, don't seem to like e-mail especially, go for it.  But yea, I know your here.

Now, that I seem to have most of my internal members back around, I'm kind of interested into why no one has really posted on the story...  And actually, I'm curious as to why no one else, thats all squadrons, arn't posting.  It is VEN right?  I'm not going to double post, but I do extend them significantly if no one else post.  Whatever you guys can do, try and have a good time with it.  Don't get so worked up on it, you'll just make it into a chore.  I used to do that...  Just, not good.  Rock on.

Discouraging at best...  But we'll get through. 

Now, everyone says they can't post, but I see them hanging around IRC or the coment for hours.  I just don't get it, that would be the reasoning behind my ranting, or atleast the most part of it.  That and when I go to check the storynet someone has posted, but not on the story.  Alls I'm saying is, I think people are making it more difficult than it really is, just to post on the story.  Half a page in MS word is all you need.  Thats like three paragraphs.  I gtg, but I'm just asking you guys, do your best.  The AWOL check will be in by this Friday.  By that time we should be able to make some position changes, really update the site, and if we don't start doin somethin with this story, I'll try to discuss with Japheth the option of a different story.  Les go, people.

I'd be honored to take the lead of Flight Three for the time being. I have found out that I do have spare time on weekends/holidays/other days off, and I plan to devote as much as possible to working with the VE.

So, Flight Three: Please send in reports to me, Jen, and Shazam by Friday. Just let me know what you've been doing in the past week.

Suggestion for Squadron Story: A rescue mission on Nar Shaddaa. An Imperial officer is being held captive by a Rebel cell on the moon and we're sent to rescue him in, let's say, a Lambda-class shuttle. We run into more Rebels, pirates, smugglers, and even a few Hutt crime lords. Any comments/questions?

Of course, it's just a suggestion.

Well, Reaper can be a NPC character. I forget which squadron that the NPC's are placed in; I'm pretty sure that's on the roster.

M'kay...  Rescue, eh?  We seem to be pretty good at that.  As for what we'd be doing, I suppose we'd have to fly escort and take somet things out?  I mean, lets keep in mind we're Navy, and yes, I know...  Who cares?  My point is, we're supposed to be up in the air, but things do tend to happen to get us onto the ground.  Although, if you'd like I suppose we could call it a special mission or something where we'd have to land after we've taken out enemy fighters for rescue...  I like that.  Any more suggestions.  Terrain, plot, characters?  Whatever?

Sounds like fun to me.



Is there anyone else that would like to propose their idea for a story?

i agree the person that is being rescued should be important if we need to rescue. and make sure that the enemy officer has some kind of role in the story.

So we do want a singular enemy officer.  One that creates problems for us.  I say-  He's not evil.  He's respectable in fact, very honorable.  As for the guy we're picking up, lets make him an total ass.  One of the super snooty officers who probably doesn't belong in thier position but is an asset for other reasons (i.e. rich family, excellent tactics officer, superier intellect...)  Any names or terrain that would like to be put into the story?  Or maybe if Dar's around he can give some kind of little known facts about the planet.  I'll look it up...

Here's info on Nar Shaddaa from Star Wars Wikipedia:

Nar Shaddaa was the largest moon of Nal Hutta. More commonly known as the Smuggler's Moon and Little Coruscant, Nar Shaddaa was similar to Coruscant in that its surface was entirely overgrown with city sprawl since 24,500 BBY.

When the Hutts left their homeworld of Varl, they displaced the Evocii, native to Nal Hutta, to Nar Shaddaa. Eventually the moon was annexed by the Hutts, whom started building spaceports and docking bays across its surface, some stretching out into orbit. Over the centuries, Nar Shaddaa grew as an important centre of interstellar trade. Ancient refueling spires and loading docks reached out from the native soil into orbit. In between these ports, massive vertical cities grew. The urban areas on Nar Shaddaa were known as vertical cities since new layers of housing and entertainment buildings were built on top of older layers. Like Coruscant and Taris, the lower levels fell into disrepair and became havens for the lowest lifeforms (particularly the descendants of the Evocii which mutated into unwholesome savages) on the moon. The Hutts continued to exploit the Evocii in their new home, buying up their land and using them as a cheap labor source.

Though Nar Shaddaa was once a prosperous trade center, it lost its glory as the trade lanes shifted. Eventually, Nar Shaddaa became a criminal haven and gained a reputation of being the center of illegal operations in the galaxy. While much of Coruscant was filled with gleaming apartments and well-maintained skywalks, the entire moon was dominated by decaying urban landscape and congested, polluted cities. Now distant from most galactic trade centers, the moon was allowed to run its own affairs with little outside interference. The moon was protected by often-malfunctioning planetary shields. Anything illegal elsewhere could be bought and sold on Nar Shaddaa, and many young smugglers, pirates and criminals started their careers on the Smugglers' Moon. Various sections of Nar Shaddaa were controlled by the Hutts and other criminal organizations. Sections of the urbanised moon's vertical city include the Duros sector and the Corellian sector, which contains three bars popular with bounty hunters-- the Burning Deck, the Slag Pit, and the Meltdown Cafe, and another corner tavern called the Orange Lady.

In 3,951 BBY, the moon was visited by the Jedi Exile in his search for Zez-Kai Ell, a Jedi Master who cast him out of the order. In 1,000 BBY, after the Battle of Ruusan, Set Harth and Bal Serinus dueled on the moon, but were both imprisoned by a Hutt crimelord. In 28 BBY, the Colicoids took over the spice processing on Nar Shaddaa. Han Solo spent part of his early career as a smuggler on Nar Shaddaa. There, he learned the tricks of the smuggling trade from some of the galaxy's best smugglers such as Salla Zend, Shug Ninx and Roa. He had an apartment on the Smuggler's Moon, but after he decided to leave the moon for the Corporate Sector, it was left unused.

Jaxxon and Amaiza Foxtrain teamed up as smugglers, headquartered on the moon. Lando Calrissian also spent his early career on Nar Shaddaa. Prior to serving Colton Antilles, C-3PO and R2-D2 traveled to the Smuggler's Moon in an attempt to apprehend the Olag Greck. The bounty hunter Greedo the Younger and his family lived in the moon's Corellian sector for several years, until an Imperial attack on a Rebel hideout resulted in the destruction and collapse of nearly twenty sector levels. Following the Battle of Yavin, Rebel agent Kyle Katarn traveled to Nar Shaddaa in order to find Imperial navigational charts related to the Dark Trooper Project.

In 10 ABY, Han returned with his wife, Leia Organa Solo, his apartment was still being maintained by his old house-keeping droid. There was yet another surprise for him; the dreaded bounty hunter Boba Fett, waiting on Nar Shaddaa to capture Solo. The Solos also encountered a Purge survivor named Vima-Da-Boda in the slums of the moon. After a chase through Nar Shaddaa's broken-down cities and an encounter with deadly vrblthers, the Solos escaped.

Twenty-some years ABY, the cities of the Smuggler's Moon were destroyed by the extragalactic Yuuzhan Vong. The Y'Toub system was surrounded by some of the Yuuzhan Vong's most deadly warships. Several organic creations were sent down to Nar Shaddaa for multiple purposes. Different types of bacteria would kill of the most of the inhabitants, then process their remains into the soil of Nal Shaddaa. Then all the technology on the moon would also be broken down and absorbed into the soil. Nar Shaddaa was then Vongformed to suit the invaders.
