I guess this marks the end of the jester race, or atleast sorta. It's been nice having you a leader. you have tought us alot. Even though we sometimes weren't the best troopers you hung in there.
I have been with you since Jester and I rememver all the great missions we used to do, even though they were story. you helped me become a better writer, I thank you, I may have quit if it wasn't for you, but you shwed me I can do anything if I put my mind to it.
Thanks for hanging in with us through everything, I hope one day you will come back, maybe not as a leader , butas a trooper. Thanks for everything. goodbye.

*RK salutes Garet

You will be missed.

"I am the best at what I do, only what I do isn't very nice" - wolverine

Eclipse is gonna miss ya Garet.  You may think I have been better all along, but I had to learn from somewhere

Now the rest of you... *smiles*  You are all mine *Cackles like a maniac*

Ahem, sorry about that...

On a more serious note, there are several things I like to address for the squad:

Firstly, activity.  I know we are in a slow period, but I hope to change that.  In fact I would like to take this moment to perform an AWOL check, so post here if you are still breathing, else I might have found a new dummy to practice CPR on.

Secondly, the Gauntlet/Waters story line continuation wouldn't change to much.  But if we want, i can "speed up" this process and get us on a new storyline, so put your vote in with the AWOL check.

Then finally, I know that some of you will be bugging me about this: ASL spot.  At this time it will remain empty.  I am not enirely sure if I will even choose one at all.  The reason is that I see many of our troopers in equal light (well... all the active ones *cough*)  I hope to instead of applying an ASL spot, put in two FTC positions.  This would reorganize Eclipse in the following way:

Eclipse Squad
|
|--Fire Team Alpha
|    |--SL
|    |---TRP
|    |---TRP
|
|--Fire Team Beta
|    |--FTC
|    |---TRP
|    |---TRP
|
|--Fire Team Delta
|    |--FTC
|    |---TRP
|    |---TRP


Of course that will require a full squad, which we lack, so it will be shortened to:

Eclipse Squad
|
|--Fire Team Alpha
|    |--SL
|    |---TRP
|    |---TRP
|    |---TRP
|
|--Fire Team Beta
|    |--FTC
|    |---TRP
|    |---TRP
|    |---TRP

So... VIA PM please send me who you believe is best for a spot as my second.  The reason for this is that I want someone that people will follow, not someone that I just pick and you may not feel has leadership potential.  Remember PM it.


Current Squad Roster:

1 SL : Riqimo
2 Trooper : RK
3 Trooper : Jelly Bean
4 Trooper : Wicket
5 Trooper : Lain
6 Trooper : Mandor (Missing?)

7 Trooper : Brightstar (Higher up, please add her back on roster when changing Garet)

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): 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

This is more of a subordinate mission to distract local forces from concentrating on the other missions. That said, it is key to hampering the enemy's response to our campaign. Eclipse squad is to target a key armory/ammunition dump in the heart of the capital city, near the government centers. Specifically placing demolition charges would be the best operational tactic, though a barrage of mortars could equally do the job given proper intelligence and accurate artillery.

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: As other squads are beginning their missions alongside this one, plan for one day of recon and setup with a quick activation of the plan once news of other Imperial operations begin. Plan for no more than a quick strike against the facility plus mopping up of guards. If possible to do so, enter facility if pacified and allow local units to loot remaining weapons. This will assist in creating disorder to further our goals.

C. Medical Evacuation:

Contingent on local resources

D. Personnel:

Literally, take no prisoners.

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

Jayne: You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with 'til you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Okay, we got 8.5 Story!  Let's post our hearts out!

Anywho details, details...

===

We have an NPC Fire Team Gamma they are:

FTC: Sergeant Sheila "Mustang" Devens - A veteran Stormtrooper of renowned skill with a chip on her shoulder, an ace with an attitude.  Always ready for a fight, in or out of her armor, she lives by the motto "It ain't braggin' if you can do it."  A real Stomrtrooper cowgirl.

TRP: PFC Seth "Scooter" Anders - A fun loving young trooper, excitable and oftentimes inappropriately verbose on the comms.  ALthough not neccessarily the most skilled Stormtrooper, he has enthusiasm that is refreshing.

TRP: Kent "Goblin" Barlow - An irascible oddball bringing new meaning to the word 'weird.'  Goblin enjoys a bit of reputaion as a fierce infighter.  His loyalty and dedication are well worth his eccentricies.

===

Then our current RZ point:

We are headed to a cantina owned by a Hutt, there are appartments attached and we will stay in those. The Hutt is supporting a small resistance group because his smuggling operations are severly damaged by the current government.  He has agreeded to shelter us on the condition we don't bring "unwanted" guests to his little hotel/cantina,

Questions?  Please ask here or on irc, or via message/email, etc.
