*Cough* Kind of *Cough*

But I've always liked to think of us as kind of a definitionless group.  I like the way Dar put it though.  Will that work?  Still need some names, btw, or I'll just make something stupid up.

The actual names I come up with arn't that bad, but Jaden seemed to think that they were 'pretty gay,' so I'll try to keep myself from using them, lol. 

Listen, I'm going to be taking off this afternoon, dunno if I'll make it to the meeting, so whoever's around and has the highest Naval rank, go on ahead and take a look at my report on the Commanders Comnet.  I think we have enough to make a story- I'll think it over during the afternoon and try to organize.  Othewise, keep putting in ideas.  Rock on.

Well, I thought of this name for our stuck-up Imperial Intelligence officer: Agent Derkson. It sounds sort-of cheesy, but it's a shortened form of my friend's full name (Derek Gibson). Let me know what you think of the name.

If you like, I can make up a short bio on him tonight and post it here tomorrow afternoon.

I don't exactly understand one thing though.  That is: is there going to be a commando group to grab the guy, or some of our guys, like, DJ and myself as an example?

Just commando's with maybe one or two of us piloting the craft.  Otherwise, according to your plan, Dar, we back them up because the commandos become to distracted with NR personell.  How bout now?

With what?  TIE's don't have Hyperdrives man, thus the need for a transport.  And I suppose the Lambda class shuttles are pretty fast, but how many commando's are we talkin about?

I probably own more personal Tie than anyone in the Navy

I'll allow them if they are TIE class.  The Strike-class medium cruiser (not ours), that we are taking is going to be modified to hold two squadron hangers.  They're speficically TIE outletted though, thus the need for a TIE class personal craft.

Speaking of the two hangers, one will be for us of course and the other will carry a back-up group of NPC's that stay with the ship after it jumps out.  These are in case of a group tracking the cruiser through hyperspace and attacking after it has come to a rest.  If all goes well and the cruiser isn't under to heavy of fire, it will jump in at our call and we will board.  HOWEVER, if it is under such heavy fire an evacuation is necessary, we will be given a time limit.  What happens if we don't return under that time?  They leave us.  And as you might now know, we don't have hyperdrives on our interceptors or really any TIE craft- (we won't be adding hyperdrives btw), so basically, we'd be screwed.  I think we'll use that to force us onto the ground. 

And, real quick, yes, the Lambda Class Shuttle would be able to carry a good amount of troops.  Might question wasn't "Is it too many?"  but "Is it enough?"  We picked Nar Shadda and that changes the game.  That place is naturally filled with pirates, gangsters, and of course some rebel pilots.  I think we might need to upgrade to a Sentinal Landing Craft which is basically the same thing, but has a longer hull to carry a maximum of 54 troops, not to mention a significantly stronger sheilding, more powerful weaponry, and larger storage facilities.  Seeings how we'll be running around quite a bit, we might need the extra armor.

Imaging this Lamda Class Shuttle with a longer backend:


Other than that, I only have one other thing to add.  Since this little rescue has become slightly larger, despite my best efforts- trust me...  I think we need another reason to storm that base.  I can recommend we make the hostage a Seinar Fleet Systems head engineer, which would make him invaluable - definite rescue minssion possible.  But we might as well be getting something else out of it.  Any ideas' before I post a story post?

From what you mentioned earlier, "Due to the experience" I would say yes.  However, you would be left with the shuttle and maybe a few commando's to defend it and set up a perimeter.  Still got your sniper rifle?

(Edit- Story starter is up, I'd like everyone to get themselves introduced into this story, maybe include some backstory as far as what's happened since the wing story, although of course, we didn't finish it.  Never the less, I'd like a firm representation of each character before we really move.

There won't be a seperate topic for the story discussion, we'll just use this topic to prevent loss of translation.  Plus, you'll only need to come here or look at the specific story.  Les have some fun.)

The story is up, but you need to introduce yourself into the story so I can start the breifing (which I basically go over the more vague details of what we've already discussed), then we can depart.

I would have gone with that, but there was no intelligence to be had.  If there would've been a futher reasoning for going after the base, i would have put it into your idea.  However, I didn't see one, so I changed it to Sienar Fleet Systems' head engineer, that way we know specifically why we need that person back.  But if you've got another idea, I havn't posted the breifing yet- shoot.

Sure, why not.  Might you add something about meeting up with us Jack, or does Jen wish to do so?

That'd be just me man, Jen's off to somewhere else, we'll all meet up at the breifing room anyways.  Don't worry about it though, I'll post myself into the story again and keep it goin smooth.

DJ, you should probably know that you can't equip a cloaking device to a ship as small as one in the TIE-Class.  They're mostly used for ISDs (credit goes to Kairo on that info.)

Otherwise, excellent so far guys, your having actual fun with the story, bringin out character, and that's what I wanna see.  I still need to see a post from Tokijin, Glaius, Trevor and Jen though.  Did I forget anyone?  Lets keep it up guys, I think this'll really shape into something.
