« on: June 07, 2012, 06:13:20 PM »Excellent! I thought as much, but wanted to be sure. Also, will Jerec be just a ground hero or will he also be in space with the Vengeance SSD?

« on: June 07, 2012, 06:01:54 PM »Yes it is still the Reaper because it is canon.

« on: June 07, 2012, 05:52:58 PM »Wow, that is a great list for the PA! Will Ardus Kaine's flagship still be the Reaper, or will that be changed for balancing reasons?

From the preliminary list we have and based off of some of the suggestions here, we've got a few basic premises we're building the Pentastar off of:Makes sense, Scourge Squadron was one of the most powerful and modern Imp Navy units and Kaine as Tarkin's successor would have had access to some mighty potent weaponry. Also the mix of older units makes good sense too as the Imps tended to just add their stuff onto what was already there(i.e. the clone wars and republic material)
1. Astrography: The Pentastar Alignment is based out of Oversector Outer and some backwater worlds of the New Territories in the former Empire. Oversector Outer's importance and the influence of Tarken and later Kaine means the Imperial garrisons would have included some pretty substancial power, which is one of the justifications for their access to the Praetor II. On the other hand, the backwater worlds and New Territories would have had garrisons based out of older technology, including Republic holdovers that either were cofirmed to have, or could reasonably be assumed to have continued service in the Empire, or Imperial ships and vehicles a little out of the mainstream; Acclamators, Venators, IFTX, etc.
2. Political Culture: The Pentastar Alignment was essentially like the CIS and CSA in its formation; it had a political and territorial basis from Kaine's holdings, however much of it's political power was in the hands of corporate interests. One of its main worlds was Muunilinst, base planet of the Intergalactic Banking Clan, and it also included Dynamic Automata, manuftacurors of droids, so we've included the Muunificent and Hailfire.
Will the Muunificent's have TIE complements?
3. Sienar.So perhaps they could have access to more TIE type models or prototypes than the standard IR has rather than less I suppose.

What don't you like about the missile boat? Is it just a tad too overpowered?

« on: May 30, 2012, 01:50:56 PM »Definitely agree that the PA doesn't need Tectors, SSDs, or TIE Defenders. However, they should have some type of specialized starfighter. Perhaps the Alpha Class Xg-1 Star Wing, the Missile Boat, or the TIE Hunter.NONONONONO not the Missile Boat! It'd just be like LOL I SPAM THESE AND WIN AUTOMATICALLY. The XG-1 sounds fine though.

Anyhow, we're still looking at options for Pentastar Alignment units and heroes, so feel free to keep posting suggestions.
For example, how was the relationship between Ardus Kaine and Delak Krennel? (I'm not all that well versed in the various warlords) Could Krennel be reasonably included as a hero under the Pentastar Alignment?
He was neutral with Krennal but did not share forces, info or resources. Kaine was pretty much strict Isolationist until Thrawn and later Shadow Hand he maintained communication with the major powers but little else. I don't think Krennal was kindly disposed towards any Warlords other than himself. Not sure if that would make for a canon hero.

« on: May 29, 2012, 07:38:33 PM »Another suggestion for PA forces. In order to distance them further from the IR, maybe give them the Gladiator-class Star Destroyer as a light to medium frigate. I was thinking that since they were usually used for Outer Rim patrols, they could have easily fell into the hands of the warlords, like the PA.
