You your own warlord

[commander praji]

Now imagine you being a imperial officer of high rank  and  your dick boss known as the emperor has just died and your fighting with former friends and your rivals to gather as much resources as you possibly can.  Congrats you are now a warlord!  Below you will need several things. Keep in mine you have a limit

1. A name for your faction

2. What kind of person are you? (Ex strategic as thrown himself, as cruel and unforgiving as vader?)

3. Your forces, which include
---–------------------------------

A. Your primary captial ship  (ex a star destroyer or venator )

B.  A secondary capital ship ( ex something less expensive )

C. At least two support ships ( something like a designated carrier or a interdictor

D. Canon fodder ships ( like a tartan or broadside)

E. Your ground vehicles of choice? (You are limited to 7)

F. Your aircraft of choice ( limited to 5)

G.  Your infantry of choice (ex the different storm trooper types, limited to 8 )

And finally your  capital planet of choice ( anyone except bastion, byss, corusacent, or any for the new warlord groups in 2.2)

Let your mine go wild :3 (sorry me new)

[Pentastar Enforcer]

Okay You got me interested - I'll play your game here then:

1. The Corellian Imperial Federation/Confederation

2. Grand Admiral who fought at Endor, retreated with the rest. Respectful officer and all that what not, sympathizes with Imperial rule due to order, and how this New Republic would never be able to successfully govern the galaxy, yet dislikes these new upstart imperials. Consolidates with sympathizers in Corellia and starts a new warlord faction.

3. My forces (oh boy):

A: ISD II & I's as obvious choices (personal ship would probably be a heavily modified ISD II or heavily modified Praetor with all the goodies attached.)

B: Secondary Capitals would include things like the Dreadnaught cruiser, Venators, and Corellian Engineering Corporation Frigates and what not.

C: Immobilizer 418 as a good starter, with other ships such as the Proficient light cruiser (Corellian) CC-7700 cruisers, and Strike Cruisers would make up the majority.

D: CR90 Corvettes, CR92 Assassin Corvettes, Corellian Gunboats, Imperial Escort Carriers (both kinds), and my favorite ship - the Nebulon-B Frigate, oh and Interceptor IV frigates cuz of Corellia.

E: AT-AT's to start, along with AT-ST's (and not how they're presented in EaW, they're aren't really fleshed out in the game, great modders tried fixing it some, but then game limitations killed it.) AT-MP's because Air Speeders. A type of troop transport like the Juggernaut, the IDT, a type of the repulsorlift tank like the Saber tank, and finally the T2/3B tank.

F: TIE series fighters - TIE Fighter, Interceptor, Bomber, Defender, and Skipray Blastboats. (If I could do one or two more, it would be TIE-Hunters because of those darned Escort Carriers, and Preybirds or the A9 Vigilance)

G: Imperial Stormtroopers, along with Navy Troopers & volunteer troops. Scout Troopers with speeder bikes and what not as well (makes 3 unit types.) Storm Commandos as it goes along with the whole theme of Escort Carriers, TIE Hunters, etc. support troops like Imperial Engineer troops, Anti-Vehicle troops, and finally some sort of independent Corellian guard troop, makes 7 unit types, I can't really think of anything else.

Capital Planet would be Corellia and use the Engineering Corporation and the amazing trade routes to gain power.

Hope I did okay as a start!

[tlmiller]

1. No idea.

2. Basically like Pellaeon or Kaine.  I wouldn't believe in the humanocentric policies or rule by fear of the Empires forces.  Like the EoTH I'd be more concerned with protecting my own borders rather than destroying my opponents.

3. Your forces, which include
---–------------------------------

A.  ISD-II's probably, simply because they're the most logical, but I would definitely want Praetor-II's.

B.  Venators & Vic-II's working in conjunction.

C. Procursators, Strike-cruisers, and vindicators/enforcers/immobilizers (since they all use the same hull).

D. Carrack's, they've got beefy shields for something of their size.

E. I'm a fan of speed, so Turbo Tanks, Hailfires, Swamp Speeders, etc.

F. I'm a fan of the NR strategy of survivability.  I-7 howlrunner as the primary fighter.  Tie Avenger as the primary Interceptor.  Assault Gunboat as the primary multi-purpose ship.  Skipray Blastboat as the primary bomber.  Tie Defender as the elite forces ship.

G.  Stormtroopers who aren't incompetent would be sufficient for me for the Navy, with Imperial fleet and army regiments for "general" duty.

Not sure of where I'd wish to make my capital.

[Lord Xizer]

A combination of Zsinj and Kaine. Defense and stability while engaging in high profile raids with my flagship coupled with insurgent cells.
I'd build Vic deuces mainly with TIE Defenders and a stealth black ssd like Night Hammer and focus on elite troops like the Raptors.
This way i look strong to other Imp groups attracting support but also stable to bring in business.

Name: The Imperial Authority

Mix of Kaine and Zsinj. Focus on fortifying and economy so my faction is stable. Then high profile raids in my flagship to show the other Imp factions I am no friend to the rebels.

Night Hammer SSD(Though I would christen it Anguish)

Primarily VSDIIs

Anchored around ISDIIs save 1 ISDII for every 6 VSDIIs

Lancers

TIE Defenders. i believe in quality for my fighters.

Ground would be focus on fast deployment so IDTs, SPMATs and Juggernauts

Elite infantry like what Zsinj did with the Raptors to personify my rule and presence as well as differentiate me from the rest

Capital would either be Bastion or Serenno. Both are important and have personal meaning to me.
 

[Pali]

1. Reformed Empire.  Simple and gets across a message: we're the Empire, but we're scrapping some of the flaws of Palpatine's time.

2. Similar to the others above, I'd say something close to Pellaeon - not a xenophobe, nor would power be held purely through fear of imperial might.  Expansion would be the overall goal, of course, but ideally to be done diplomatically and culturally rather than through outright conquest.

3. I'm going to assume we're sticking with traditional Imperial designs, rather than using just any Star Wars design.

A) ISD2 would be the ideal core of my capital ship force.  Dreadnoughts/battlecruisers are too expensive to build/run, and offer far less versatility per cost.  A couple of them we bring out for use in very specific situations, but else largely kept in drydock?  Sure.  Nothing more though.

B) Have to agree with tlmiller, Venators and Vic2s is a potent combo.  However, if we've only got one choice here, I'd take Vic 1s.  A massed missile barrage is nothing to be laughed at.

C) If I can afford Immobilizers, they go here, along with Gladiators.  The utility of the Immobilizer is just too much to ignore, and the Gladiator is it's size's version of the ISD - decent firepower itself, good amount of fighters.

D) Corellian gunships.  Lots of them. If they're not allowed, or I've got no access to Corellian designs, then Carracks.

E) TIE Crawlers, Saber tanks, AT-ST/AT/AA, SPHA, Juggernauts.

F) Primary fighter would be Preybirds.  Interceptor would depend on the cost/benefit analysis of a shield-equipped Interceptor vs Avenger - the latter is certainly better, but it's an open question on whether it's so much better to be worth the extra cost.  Scimitar for primary bomber, Skiprays serving as gunboats and ground assault support, and Defenders of course for elites.

G) Scrap the Stormtrooper - I want my people to look like people.  Troops would have armor, naturally, but anything covering the face would be transparent.  Separate police and military forces.  Having the military serve as the police, or vice versa, does not go well.

Capital planet?  Muunilinst.  Control the banks, control the flow of money, and the galaxy is already halfway yours.  Else Thyferra, as bacta production is similarly important to the entire galaxy.

[SteelHand]

1. The Tarisian Supremacy

2. A firm handed negotiator, similar to Kaine I would say.  The Supremacy's goal is to put Taris back on the galactic stage, but without the failings of old Taris millennia before.  Humanocentrism has died a hard death, as the Supremacy needs everyone it can get to swell its ranks.  That being said, I am still High Commander, and Head-of-State.

3. The Supreme Fleet/Army

A) ISD II's/I's for sure, but maybe the Supremacy got away with a single Bellator as a flagship and deterrent

B) Vic II's and Providence's, an atypical choice, but those guns combined with the fighters make a difference

C) Strikes and Carracks for general support

D) CR90's or Marauders, anti-fighter duty and missles (who doesn't love missles?)

E) AT-AT's, AT-ST's, TX-130's, Hailfires, Speeder Bikes, TIE Crawlers, and Tank Droids

F) TIE's: Basic, Interceptors, Phantoms (got to have surprises in store for unwanted guests), and Defenders.  In addition, LAAT's for CAS on the ground.

G) Stormtroopers of course, along with Storm Commandos and Scout Troopers.  A planetary guard would exist independently for each world in the Supremacy, equipped with scaled down Stormtrooper armor and standard E-11's

Capital: The (Former) Coruscant of the Outer Rim, Taris itself

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

1. The Enclave Principality

2. Like Kaine and Pellaeon somewhat, wanting to undo the unnecessary evils and counter-productive practices of Palpatine's order, yet instating my own order with heavy propaganda, informants and re-education. I'd be seemingly benevolent in granting rights to aliens and people would have to be happy about that or face re-education. I'd preach peace to the New Republic while conducting trade with the other Imperials, try and be everyone's friend. Meanwhile, we'll be consolidating our military which is split into three branches: the Defence Force which consists of a fleet of speedy starships, a huge array of starfighters, highly trained infantry, and vehicles with high mobility. The Deterrence Administration is responsible for developing and operating weapons of last resort - and I mean last resort, we don't go destroying inhabited planets as a demonstration. Who knows, we may use superlasers as a tool for asteroid mining and claim they're for non-military purposes. Finally, the Intelligence Commission is responsible for seeking out enemies within and without, identifying civilian and military personnel in need of re-educating, and conducting clandestine operations outside the Principality within our interests.

3. These choices are between units that fit my theme or are simply to be different.

A. Venator

B.  Victory II Star Destroyers

C. Immobilisers and Escort Carriers

D. Raider corvettes

E. A5 battle tanks, A5 Juggernauts, Hailfires, SPMA, ATAA, LAAT/i, Lancet

F. TIE Interceptor, TIE Phantom, TIE Oppressor, TIE Hunter, TIE Interdictor

G.  Stormtroopers, E-Web squads, Shock Troopers, Scout Troopers, Heavy Troopers, Riot Troopers, Storm Commandos, spies

Capital planet is Ziost (I don't know whose territory that puts me in)

[ElvenSithLord]

1) Kuati-Corulagi Conglomerate

2) I'm the type to try and establish as many alliances, non-aggression pacts, and trade agreements as I can. Those whose non-hostility I cannot secure, I put on a watchlist and fortify my borders with them. Then, once I am secure and my fleets built - being in charge of Kuat and Corulag, the homeworlds of KDY and SFS, that should be pretty easy - I begin my strategy. I steadily expand into enemy territory, hitting every single border world at once. I take what I can, hopefully having successfully gaining footholds on all of them, and ensure my forces are not spread too thin. I secure my holds, reinforce my fleets. Then I attack again. Rinse, lather, repeat. I'm pretty rigid when it comes to this strategy, and it will take a lot of convincing for me to change strategies. I'd also be the type to invest heavily in infrastructure.

3)A) I'd like to have an Executor as my flagship. Failing that, a Bellator would do. Otherwise, no Dreadnoughts for me. My primary ships of the line would be a combo of Secutor SD's and Allegiance Battlecruisers. They fit their own niches very well and would function as a nice combination.

B) Venators (preferably upgraded)

C) Immobilizer and Lancer

D) The Carrack, probably.

E) A9 Foating Fortress, TIE Crawler, SPMA-T, AT-ST, AT-AA

F) I'd probably invest in the heavy and the fast. TIE/d DEfender is an obvious choice, and though it's an elite ship, I would try to make it much more common in my fleet. I'd also go for the Skipray Blastboat as my primary bomber. TIE/in Interceptor is fragile but pretty decent. TIE/d droid for my spamming purposes. TIE/ad Avenger for my secondary elite aircraft.

G) Scout Troopers and Shock Troopers, definitely. I would also place heavy emphasis on Sniper Troopers, and I don't suppose my own cell of the Storm Commandos is out of the question. Definitely Navy Troopers and Space Troopers. I will then encourage the development of our unique troopers. Kuati Guardian Troopers and Corulagi Sentinel Troopers. They'd be distinct from each other in armor and in specialization.

4) My Capital would probably be Corulag.

[Goldzeoranger]

1 Warlord Khan

2 I am strategies who now when to fight and when to not fight choice my own battleground, I Sever with the Republic so my Loyal are to it and not the  empire or new republic same go for the crew and men under my command. I am many out in the outer rim force to do the empires will well to what he thinks. What I was do was trying to build up a army and fleet to take on the Empire and being back the system I loved, but I then realize that it not be possible so I build up my own commonwealth of systems to get together to help each other out. All my ships have been upgrade because of the Commonwealth

3 Venator Mrk II. 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.

4 ISD she was attach at the last minute and I had no should about the crew but they support me(some upgardes like better armor and shield)

5 Lancer and Dreadnought

6 Carrack

7 The fighters and bomber are the Tie and TIE/in Interceptor TieBomber and  arc 170(upgrade) Since I was not in the empire space much I was left out there with what I had so from the start I had to make do with what I could find have in to I made the Commonwealth.

8 Troop be Stormtroopers and Shock Troopers. I also have some AT-AT AT-ST'.

9 Akiva be my capital

[commander praji]

Well done my fellow warlords, now I the great praji will take my turn

My faction name? Simple the praji dominion

What kind of ruler? One who is a mixed bag, I can be kind and generous giving my subordinates their due, or I can be ruthless and something you'd rather not piss off. I would also have ties with the remains of old CIS companies like techno Union and trade federation and establish my own properganda like Arcturus mengsk from star craft XD.

my ships?
-------------------------

A. Venators

B. Hammerheads (rather old models but would use skeleton crews)

C. Imp Interdictors and munificents

D. Quasar fires

E. At-at, at-te, sphah-t artillery, at-sts, at-mps, juggernauts, and century tanks

F. V-wings, arc-170s, y-wings, dianogas, and hyena droid bombers

G. Stormtroopers, scout troopers, swamp troopers, shadow troopers, jumptroopers, incinerator troopers, and various models of old confederacy droids, most built from spare or old parts (like that one episode in clone wars with that boy who had a small army of b1s with different parts)

As a side note I would bring back the traditional unit markings clones used in the war, my personal favorite being.

A new 41st elite

A new 91st

A new nova corps

You get the point

My capital would be  kamino due to my love for the kaminoans

[GEARREX_11]

Oh I like this very much!! I will give this a shot.
1. The Deep Core Empire
2. I was a very tactical commander and a fierce rival of Thrawn for the attentions of the Emperor. After the Battle of Endor I felt it necessary to declare myself independent of the Empire. However, I saw the danger of being isolated like the other warlords and kept ties to the Imperial Remnant. I am very calm in battle, but the stupidity of some of the former Imperial leaders has made me somewhat on edge since the future of the Empire is uncertain. I try to be a leader my troops will want to remain loyal to rather than force them to fight for me. As such I have no problem recruiting aliens to fight for my cause.
3. Now for my fleet!
A. My flagship would be a 8km long Super class star destroyer named Bloodfin that was the prototype for the larger Executor class and is what spawned the misconception about the size of the Executor. Torpedo Spheres would be the staple of my fleet since they are so powerful and the Empire had hundreds under construction before the battle of Endor so I would just make good use of them.
B. My second capital ship would be the Corellian Reaver class battlecruiser since it is easy to use and still packs a punch. plus it just looks epic and can take on ISDs. this ship can be seen in the operation shadow hand picture in front of Byss.
C. Some support ships would be The Modular Taskforce Cruiser, Vindicator class heavy cruiser, Bakura class Star Destroyer, and Assault frigate MK II
D. additional vessels would be IPV-4, Assassin class corvette, Nebulon B2 frigate, and Victory II cruiser
E. ground units would include AT-ATs (with the light turbolaser modification), XR-85 droid tanks, TIE crawlers, NR-N99 Tank droids, Homing spider droids, B6 Juggernauts, and X-1 vipers
F. TIE Defender, TIE Avenger, Missile Boat, Preybird Starfighter, and TIE/D droid fighter
G. My infantry would be made up mostly of Storm troopers, SSi-Ruuk troops that I recruited after thier failed Bakura invasion, and Droideka MK2s, but I would also have Storm Commandoes for special ops missions and to serve as my body guards.
My Capital would be the Planet Eclipse located in the Deep Core region of the Galaxy.

[kucsidave]

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-OT
F. 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.

OK, I know this is a late reply, but hey, if you want to, my warlord faction is always open for trade
But if you really want corporations to back your empire, you can forget the no racism policy. Slave work is free workforce, which corporations love.
If you ban racism that also means you are going against the ruling council and deemed the enemy of the empire instantly which leads to 90% of the empire and at least 50% of your own human population hating you.
You have to be careful, my friend. All warlords danced on thin ice. The big ones survived because they pretended to be loyal while doing their own business.
Zsinj used his tytle of Warlord of the Empire to legitimize his stuff, making it an almost offical name for breakaways.
And we have seen what happens when the empire wants no more of your stuff. Zsinj is the perfect example

ahhhh my friend I would love to trade some Gladiators for some corellain and hutts ships.
And as for that my friend I have made sure that the cooperations understand how much value you money has(plus I give them Imperial Prisoners and advance Imperial work Droid designs to compensate for the loss of slaves) and as for the ruling council... well I have friends everywhere. Rich friends.
and If someone questions my reasoning I make sure they learn why not to question me.
