This thread is to help co-ordinate story ideas. Now, I'm going to give the first contribution and list the Sled teams. Here's the deal: each of you are paired with another squad. I tried my best with Riqimo to balance the Sleds so the squads are mixed 50/50. Some sleds got tossed in a spare Iron Horse or Wraith member so we could have an even 6 instead of having 5 here and there. Now before a lot of you start getting all bent out of shape, you are not seperating from your squad. You are travelling by sled in groups of 3 sleds. The only unforunate ones are I'm afraid Wraiths: you have to get mixed in. You have my apologies but I don't think you'll inconvenienve the other groups too much. To clear things up though when we are on foot you will be with your squad. However when we're in sleds this is the driving arrangement. I leave it up to you 6 in the sled together to decide what 2 drive and what 4 man the weapons.

Considering some of our locations are 100 km apart, I doubt we are going to stop at the same spot.

mmm thought

I'm sorry that you won't be participating any further in the HSC.  If you change your mind and want to join in with the Horsies then you are more than welcome to join us.

Stand down Lucky, Iron Horse asked for him first  LOL

Uh, Dante?

that's what I meant

Seeing as what I have posted based upon the discussion in the CC has been well accepted so far I think it is what we are going for, so I'll touch it up a bit and you will have details by the end of tonight.  Basically you will have a general outline of what has happened, and then what we are basically dealing with, and what will most likely happen in the future.  If played out right, this campaign could have other campaigns branch off the storyline if played correctly.

So look for it sometime today.

Apologies on the delay, life likes to keep me busy and distracted.

Our story starts back in the end of the Clone Wars, Alderaan establishes it’s “Peaceful” policy, removing all weapons from the planet.  Rather than destroyed to common thought, they were placed in caches on remote planets, Yuka being one of the main caches.  Surviving Alderaan extremists (terrorists if you will) seek some form of revenge against the Imperial factions.  They have near half a decade to develop some form of scheme to strike at the Imperial remnant.

Lucky for the VE, we happen to be the closest to Yuka and thus the first ideal objective of their strike.  But what is the plan of these extremists?  Motivation is the lost of their planet, a civilian target is considered a low blow in war and they most likely want to return the ‘favor’

Motivation, check.

Goal, check.

Method?  That will be revealed when the time is right

Technicalities aside, how does this direct our storyline besides identifying our opposition and their goals?

Raiders and DD:  In a mine currently.  Most likely the passage to the cache, which was later developed into a mine to produce a source of revenue to fund their planned attack against the Imperial Remnant.  So basically you can expect to see mining droids and operations as such and perhaps the cache facility which is most likely a warehouse of sorts.

Wraith and IH:  Scouting, for what?  Interesting question, and here is a suggestion that you may ignore or expand upon, or just plain use as it is.  They need to provide their operation in some manner by contact off planet, and thus need some form of hangar or star port.  Whoa! There is a deep and steep valley ahead! And in the cliff side of the valley is such a hangar, hidden by the terrain.  Two squads, one hangar, not good odds I would say.  Heck, you have a sled with AWOLs, let them “find” the valley for you. *cough*

Eclipse and Pally: Lala off in the canyons.  What could possibly be here?  Oh is that a tunnel?  Ooo... look a caravan up ahead in the canyon, backtrack, some explosives avalanche from the top... smoooooth...  Probably Eclipse scout bottom while Paladin is along the top of the canyon, keeps radio contact.

After all that, regroup at base.  And we enter actual phases.

Phase I

OOC:

Objective Aurek – Wraith (Special Forces)
Your group will return  to the hangar that you reported when you re-entered base and find some means of destructing it, perhaps a beacon that can send in a bombing run. (just get out of the way in time)  Then in theory there should be enough chaos that you can sneak into one of the tunnels in stolen uniforms and see if you can pinpoint something that leads to what their operations are.  Basically an underground ice tunnel system,  maybe with golf cart like vehicles.  (Think Hoth tunnels)

OOC:

Objective Besh – Raiders (Multi-Environment)
You will be paired with an NPC crew to begin with, namely the crew of an AT-AT Walker.  Dark Dragoons will be with you for a while as well.  The AT-AT was landed while you folks went out to the mines.  The vehicle will move southwest, towards a small outpost that is a communications array.  The ISD Dominion is currently jamming that region extensively, regardless of friend or foe communications so you will not be able to even use short range communications.  Your objective is to rappel out of the AT-AT a while a whileout of the comm outpost (maybe 5 kilometers) and move on it in some manner. Your objective will be to clean down the base, barracks, turrets, w/e.  Just keep the comm building and the generator operational until DD completes its objective.  The AT-AT is there to help, don’t forget

OOC:

Objective Cresh – Dark Dragoons (Counter-Operations)
Same as above with Raiders, except that you are to head for the communications array building and download any and all information you can find.  It will most likely be highly encrypted and unable to be read properly, just download and let intel crack it.  Then proceed with havoc as the Raiders, have fun

OOC:

Objective Dorn – Iron Horse (Recon)
The ISD Dominion’s scans revealed some sort of structures north west of the current base, you will eventually be sent up to those via your sleds.  They will be revealed to be labs of some sort, factory droids manufacturing bacta (think the Geonosis droid factory, only making bacta, not droids and on a much smaller scale).  Basically you have the nice facility to wander about, with few guards (ten, fifteen or so).  Then a subway system that takes the bacta somewhere.  Why not hop a ride after reporting what you found via comlink?

OOC:

Objective Esk – Paladin (Unconventional Warfare)
Fun spec to work with, perfect for being assigned to that tunnel that was discovered later.  Basically travel through it and determine where it runs supplies too. You can probably expect some sort of opposition, not many people.  Odds are the tunnel will lead to either the bacta factories, hangar, or the warehouse within the mines.  Take your pick and have some fun.

OOC:

Objective Forn – Eclipse (Long Range Recon)
The convoy had to come from somewhere, so Eclipse gets to go beyond the Canyon, living up to it’s long range recon spec.  What’s past there is most likely some sort of command facility and a few more factories.  There should be no engagement at this time, pull off and report.  Phase II will deal with this facility.

There you have it, basic phase I orders. When we get around to phase II you will see those orders.  For now, complete up the basic stuff and regroup at the base so we can kick off phase I.  From there it should be smooth sailing.  Ask any questions you have


REMEMBER, we still do NOT know what the opposing faction is.  That will be determined sometime before Phase II.

Good luck and most importantly have fun

oh its finished, believe me, you didn't read Mako's post?
