I know it is an older thread, but I though I join in
1: the name for my faction is The Vergesso Empire,
1.5: My empire wouldn't have a solid capital. I would rule from my flagship insted. The name comes from the main shipyard's location. Oh, yeah. I would transform the Vergesso asteroids into a hidden shipyard like the rebels did once. Nobody would count on that
2: Strategist, mainly conducting hit and run tactics on the supply routes of other warlords disguised as pirates or an another warlord's forces to get further resources while not turning them all against me, but each other. Divide and conquer as the Romans said. I would definitely forget about being human-centric, since I can't be picky about my people when I am a warlord in the outer rim.
3. My forces... god damnit...
A. MY primary captial ship would be ISD IIs, since it pack a much bigger punch than it's little sister, yet not much more expensive
B. Well, this is my own design I like to call Reaper-class Star Destroyer. A smaller star destroyer with Black paintjob instead of the normal grey. It's purpouse is to pack much more of a punch bringing al little heavier armament as the ISD I, but in a smaller frame.(it is only more that I would replace the quad Turbolasers to Octople, and the Duals to Quads. Not much of an improvement, but still. Though to get this, it has a much smaller Hangar, only able to carry 12 TIEs)
C. For support ships I would use the Immobilizer 418-Class interdictor cruiser for one to use with my convoy hijacking tactics.
CR92a Assassin Corvettes as my main anti-fighter cruisers
and finally Escort Carriers for extra fighter support, since Reaper-classes lack hangar space.
D. My cannon fodder would be the Nebulon B-2s if a Star Destroyer would be an overkill, but need Frigates
E. My ground vehicles would be AT-PTs as my main anti infantry units since they are both fast and small compared to AT-ST.
AT-STh in case I need some heavier anti-Infantry firepower
AT-TE as my heaviest unit. I know, why not AT-AT? Cuz' there is nothing more vulnearable than the Imperial Chrome Cammels.(IMO)
TX-130 Saber tanks as anti-vehicle
Chairot LAVs for anti air
And finally AT-OTs as troop transports. In case you don't know what that is:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/AT-OTF. TIE Fighter, TIE Bomber, TIE Interceptor since they are easy to come by from Sienar and cheap. If I need heavy firepower TIE/IT Interdictor as heavy bomber and TIE Reapers as advanced fighter, only given to interceptor pilots whom survived 25 missions. The one in Darksaber's Ultimate Craft Pack for X-Wing Alliance. I fell in love with them so much they gave the name for my own SD design and Elite infantry
G. My elite infantry would be called Reaper troopers whom would be in black armor with only the faceplate being white
General Stormies as base infantry
Flametroopers for sticky situations
Shock Troopers for anti-vehicle
Sniper troopers for obvious reasons
Navy Commandoes for missions requiring special forces
And Scout troopers for scouting...
As I said, I wouldn't have a direct Capital
And something you forgot to ask, being one of the most important things:
MY FLAGSHIP!: It would be a one of a kind ship: Destructor
It would be a 5000 meters long star destroyer with large hangar spaces. There would be 3 separate hangar entrances(tipical SD style) but with "doors" so I would be able to close the whole hangar area down to cover up the weakness in the bottom of the ship in case of emergency. It would bring less firepower than a Praetor II, but that's not it's point. It is a huge carrier fitted to balance out the lack of fighters from the Reaper-class SDs. The main reason not an executor or something smaller like an ISD is simple. The my empire's location. Being in the Southeast territories of the galaxy in the outer rim lets me some space without serious enemies other than the NR. I don't need anything massive like an Executor-class as a show of power, but need something bigger than an ISD to keep the NR at bay.
As you might see, I have a lot of custom stuff, but I would like to be a bit unique between Imperials. I would spend most of my credits(YES, MY OWN creits too, not just my empire's) to fund researches and get a technological advantage.
It was my first command and only command I ever had, plus her role is of a star destroyer or carrier but I turn her in to both carrier and destroyer.
