I just have one thing to say. In Hunter's post, he has the ship already departing from the docking bay. Art, I thought you said you would make that post instead. Plus, Hunter, that's way too soon to have the shuttle depart.

The taskforce leaves in two hours, we have to ferry over there.  There are three shuttles, one for each squadron.  I had Nazgul's lift off.  That does not in any way mean you cannot post something before that happens.

"The way of war is a way of deception. When able, feign inability; when deploying troops, appear not to be. When near, appear far; when far, appear near. Lure with bait; strike with chaos. If the enemy is full, be prepared. If strong, avoid him. If he is angry, disconcert him. If he is weak, stir him to pride. If he is relaxed, harry him; if his men are harmonious, split them. Attack where he is unprepared; appear where you are unexpected. This is victory in warfare; it cannot be divulged in advance. Victory belongs to the side that scores most in the temple calculations before battle. Most spells victory; least spells defeat; none, surer defeat. I see it in this way, and the outcome is apparent." -- Sun Tzu

No problem, just make sure you get all the details from all of the posts and as I said before, if you had something to say before the shuttle left, just indicate a *before the shuttle leaves* and do what needs to be done for your character.

Oh crap, sorry, forgot that the A-Wings were coming after us, I'll go edit my post now.


Great for me to f*ck up on my first post back.

Think my ship is capable of shooting down a lone missle?  Lol, thought I'd make my character a bit self absorbed as well...
 
(OH...) And I was wondering what those transports were for?  I just read through the whole thing and everything is kind of blending together so maybe a more clear explanation would help me.

They disable the ship?>  Huh.  Must have missed that.  Alright, rock on.

Nazgul Five would be myself, and Nazgul One is Shazam (would that have changed now that Shazam is semi-retired, or will that be made clear in Nazgul's next story?).

Kaph Five would be my old pal Willtconq. It's all on the roster, Gemini.

The terminology might have been mangled a bit on the story but yes the cargo vessels are gone.  They self-destructed when the bulk of the rebel capital ships and fighters were destroyed.  The rebels don't want us to get our hands on a built prototype or the location of the facility's location so since they were not able to escape, they incinerated their ships hoping that it would destroy the prototypes, making them useless for us to study, and destroy their computers so we can't analyze the harddrives to find out where they arrived from.

Phase 2 will begin tonight.  It will consist of two major posts by me.  The first one will wrap up phase one and place us back on the Coruscant.  We will have to wait there for debris to be collected and analyzed so we can move on to our second target.  We will have a short time for as we head to the rendezvous point with our reinforcements.  From there, we will move to blockade the system that has the facility and we will begin the operation.  Phase two will take longer than phase one for reasons which you will see once it begins.

Art, you forgot the new guy that got put into Kaph the same time as Trevor during Sk8's debreif at the near end of your post.

I'm self conscious about my head thank you.  And besides, I'm stating what happened last time she got a helmet when they messed up her measurements, not this time in particular.

Anyway, one thing I thought I would point out is that, even though we took on the Nebulon-B with fighters, that isn't what a tactical mind would consider.

After the first Death Star was destroyed by the Rebel starfighters, the Empire realized that it's larger ships were vulnerable to smaller, strike-craft based assaults, not the large ship-to-ship engagements that took place during the Clone Wars.

The Nebulon-B design came to mind with the Empire's new fast-moving turret design that used smaller turbolasers to target and eliminate strike-craft.  But, because they were built in an anti-fighter role, they were often targets of Rebel capital ships, and thus many fell into Rebel hands, where they were reconfigured to serve a variety of roles, such as a medical frigate in Episode V.

So basically what we have are a variety of ships that fall into basic categories and I'll do my best to point each one out for future referance, though I am NOT saying that it isn't impossible for strike craft to take out an anti-fighter platform.  I'm just saying that they were designed with that function in mind.

[Edit: Removed List of Starship and Starfighter Classification because I'm obviously not smart enough to put one up.]

*Sigh* Look, I'm just trying to establish for referance how differant things are used against other things.  It's for REFERANCE.  I've got a headache this morning and I'm very, very sore so please don't complain I'm not feeling that great.

If you want to redo my work into a type of referance chart based on your information, please do so.  You obviously have more information than I do.

I do have a question about the thread though.  How far are we going? To a certain number of posts, until we completely defeat the enemy, or just until we run out of ideas?  I'm curious about that.
