The RP Thread

[GreyStar]

Since apparently RP keeps happening while I'm away I figure I should set up a semi-serious / joke RP thread. I don't know what I'm doing.

---
Rules section, will be updated as nesscary.

Ships rules thanks to Mr. Puerto.

I think we should establish some rules before going forward,

Here's a rough draft :
Keep fleet sizes reasonable, for example I may have a super large fleet size. But since I was sent away on a mission at the height of the empire it makes sense. Plus I use fractal sponges Fleet review picture as a reference.

No making up ship classes, since we're putting this at the after endor period I think that's reasonable for imperial RPers, for the new republic you obviously have more freedoms but again keep it reasonable and realistic. If you modify a ship make sure to take something away.

Read the responses extra carefully. Players might have calculated a response or set something up very specifically. So you have to follow what they write.

Other than that be pretty liberal. I know I am. Oh also make sure everyone agrees to the rules, I wouldn't want to be a dick and force rules upon everyone. I made it so it's easier for everyone.

MC90 Flagship, The Grey Command, formerly known as Aquatic Reign, and Repainted Fishtank.

The captain, Ordo, was watching space debris roll by.
"I'm so glad I'm not a ground commander."

[Mr.Puerto]

When suddenly an Executor class super star destroyer and her support fleet come out of Hyperspace. Grand Admiral Madara barks at his command crew " Make sure to trap that MC90 within our tractor beams, and tell the that immobilizer to turn on its gravity wells! Do not allow them to escape! I wish to speak with the captain of that vessel, alive and unharmed!" The crew looked around, they knew why he had dragged his personal fleet out of Core space, but they weren't sure they were ready for the coming operation. To defy the Moffs was one crime, but to defect the so-called New Republic with such a large fleet was unheard of. The Grand Admiral ordered his comms officer to hail the MC90 and waited for a response.




Eh I'll play along, I got 4 months off so might as well contribute to something that will allow me to express my ideas about Star Wars.

[RevanTheFireMage]

(Repainted fishtank has me dying from laughter, best name ever)

Captain Adrian of one of the prototype Nebula class Star Destroyers, The Phoenix, noticed a large blip jump through hyperspace near the core and he nearly choked on his coffee. "Oh sh-" He sputtered out before coughing as he got his horrible five credit beverage in his lungs. "Move the Pho-" He was broken off by another cough and his face was red from his wheezing. After today he was done with that horrible McSpacey's coffee. He punched the coordinates in and jumped into hyperspace moving onto Captain Ordo's position.

[GreyStar]

(I turn away from my thread for a few hours to play some 2.2 and finally see whether or not the Assualt Frigate needs a buff, my ship gets boarded by an Executor. Topkek. Sorry for the late reply.)

Ordo opened to the hailings of the Executor, a scowl on his face.

"Captain Canis, of the Grey Command. Who do I have the honor of speaking to?"

[Mr.Puerto]

"Hello Captain." Madara said in a rather plain tone. "My name is Grand Admiral Madara of the Galactic Empire, well up to a few moments ago I was part of the Galactic Empire." Madara seemed to study the Captain as if studying him and his capabilities. Madara continued with a frown steaming across his face " After Palaptine's death I became bored of all of these silly Warlords and Moffs, they never really provided me with as much entertainment. So, I've decided to cut out my own region of space in the unknown regions, and offer it to the New Republic. Of course My fleet and I will be available to the New Republic under the right conditions. Now please allow me to have a moment."

Madara pushed the mute button and looked to his Second in Command. " Admiral are all ships in the fleet ready to engage any... expected guests?" Madara inquired with a calming but stern voice. "Sir the ships and fighter screens are in position, not even the Endor Fleet could resist the firepower in this 360 degree defense grid." The Admiral exclaimed with assurance, and awe. Madara continued his questioning " What about the Interdiction Field, how is that holding?" The Admiral wasn't expecting a follow up "S-Sir, a-any ships within an hour radius will be forced out of hyperspace." Madara thought to himself "Some doesn't feel quite right, maybe I should get a new Second." After his thoughts distracted him, he recollected himself and told the Admiral to send a message to the fleet. "All hands to battle stations and be prepared to jump back to the unknown regions."

Madara never taking his eyes off the hologram, pushed the mute button once more to unmute himself. "Any questions, Captain?" Madara finally said with a smile.

[GreyStar]

Ordo nodded.

"What are the conditions for your, services to the New Republic? Why give up your holdings if you have an Executor class? And lastly, will you submit to one of my Jedi friends stationed on here to access your statements?" He turned to the rest of thd bridge.

"Someone get me Falcon up here now." He asked. "And prepare a comm message for any ships hyperspacing in here to not open fire."

[RevanTheFireMage]

Adrian finally got out of his fits of coughing and was breathing heavily as he collected his thoughts, one of the deck officers turned face him and briefly stated "Sir we are being drawn to an unknown mass in the nearest system". As the officer said this Adrian felt the hull of the ship shake as it was being drawn out of hyperspace, Adrian realizing that an Immobilizer 418 cruiser had to be pulling them ordered "Angle the Phoenix towards the artificial mass and put double power to forward shields!" He barked at his crew. "And I want all hands to battle stations and prepare to transfer seventy-five percent of our power to the shields after we exit hyperspace" Adrian felt a sudden jerk of the ship as it was yanked out of hyperspace. His decision to angle the Phoenix towards the artificial mass was a major blunder on his part as he hadn't realized that the interdiction field was much more massive than usual. His star destroyer angled and having its entire deck exposed with minimal shielding presented a huge danger. "Man this day is just getting worse and worse" Adrian muttered (Does this work better)

His decision to angle the Phoenix towards the artificial mass paid off as his star destroyer rammed right into the Immobilizer cruiser and effectively split it in two. "I actually didn't think that was going to work" he muttered to himself

Nah b that ain't working, I set the range to pull you out an hour distance away so you ain't ramming anything.

[RevanTheFireMage]

(I changed it)

[Mr.Puerto]

(I changed it)

Yeah you good, onward to the story.

[Grand Admiral Rufaan Tigellinus]

"Hello Captain." Madara said in a rather plain tone. "My name is Grand Admiral Madara of the Galactic Empire, well up to a few moments ago I was part of the Galactic Empire." Madara seemed to study the Captain as if studying him and his capabilities. Madara continued with a frown steaming across his face " After Palaptine's death I became bored of all of these silly Warlords and Moffs, they never really provided me with as much entertainment.

Madara never taking his eyes off the hologram, pushed the mute button once more to unmute himself. "Any questions, Captain?" Madara finally said with a smile.

Ashamed for his moment of weakness, Admiral Pullpork went away and stood at the end of the bridge, watching Madara resume his conversation with the captain of the MC90. "How did I end up in this situation", he thought to himself. "I never wanted to betray the Empire in the first place, let alone serve and constantly get ridiculed by Madara, who couldn't even continue being a warlord for more than a month". His brows moved towards each other in grump disappointment, as he was watching Madara's lean and strict stance with his arms on his back, one arm holding the other, hoping the Grand Admiral won't notice it. "I should have joined Treuten Teradoc when I had the chance", he thought. "But now, I'll try to ruin Madara's plans to defect, he'll regret underestimating me", he thought with a smirk, while turning away to give new orders to the fleet, only to slip on a freshly cleaned still wet floor surface, barely managing to avoid the fall. "Holy Dark Side, they really polish those damn floors here". He glimpsed at Madara, still talking to the New Republic officer. "He didn't see, it's fine, otherwise he'd make fun of me for a week".

[GreyStar]

A Jedi Knight walked onto the bridge, his face at peace, even in the face of an Executor, a symbol of the Dark Side's undending grasp on the galaxy. He looked at the display of Madara, sensing for any intentions of betrayal or destruction. Ordo looked to his knight friend with an unsure glance. Meanwhile, several E-Wings were being prepared to exit the Grey Command.

The Pheonix was given a message in encrypted text. Do not open fire, do not hail for reincofrments, prepare for evacution of the ship. Attempting negotiations, evacute if they fail.

[Grand Admiral Rufaan Tigellinus]

(guys, I gotta go, so I allow you to do whatever you want with Admiral Pullpork. Well, it was Mr. Puerto's character to begin with, I just gave him a little more personality, but I have no more time left to continue. Have a good one)

[Mr.Puerto]

" Sir enemy ship has been interdicted out of Hyperspace!" A senior senors officer yelled. "Ah excellent, our guests have arrived as predicted." Madara again said in a calm, cool matter. Madara continued in the same calm cool pace "Captain, it seems we have been interrupted by a New Republic Ship, and ah it seems to be of a new design. Just make sure you hail that Captain before it comes into firing range, I wouldn't want our new found relationship to start on the wrong foot." Madara look toward the side and chuckled.

"I will answer some of your questions for now. On to my region, I'll give up my holdings only if there are allowed to be in a semi autonomous state with me as the Overseer. Of course the New Republic will be allowed to set up staging points and use designated drydocks and logistical vessels. Any ship production will have to wait until a later point in time. Again I find the New Republic to be far more entertaining than the squabbling Moffs and Warlords of a fallen empire, besides the Emperor was also beginning to lose his luster."

Madara looked to his second " Make sure to send 5 squads of TIE bombers to the new ship along with 6 squads of Tie interceptors escorting them, with an additional escort of a Secutor and 3 Star Destroyers. I don't want that thing near our immobilizers, or hyperspace route."

While he was speaking he felt a force user reach out too him, while his galaxy had no such thing as the "force" he could still detect these things with his inner energy. He looked to the jedi "Hey, Jedi if you could stop reaching out to me that would be great, I get you're trying to feel me out but you won't find anything as I am a being outside the force."   

He sensed Admiral Pullpork almost fall on the floor, along with his thoughts of mal intent against. "I should really make sure I talk to him when he gets back, he really misunderstands what's happening here. I can't have any commanding officers think I'm underestimating them."

[RevanTheFireMage]

(Okay see you Major!)
Adrian sent a return message after reading over Ordo's initial message
Prepare E-wings to make an attempt at taking out the Interdictor if negotiations fail and try to keep them stalled while I think of a way out of this
"There are TIE bombers and Interceptors inbound captain!" Shouted an officer in a brisk tone, Adrian scowled momentarily and craned his neck against the reinforced bridge viewport to try and spot the incoming fighters. He could see their distinct shapes coming ever so closer and he wanted so badly to aim his anti fighter turbolasers and just open fire. But if he did that it would be certain death for both him and Captain Ordo. He heard the faint sound of a comm call coming through and after a minute of thought he declined the call as he figured he needed to buy as much time as possible before actually having to make contact with this new Imperial Warlord or commander or whatever the f*** he was.

[Mr.Puerto]

Madara looked to his fleet comms officer, and said "Officer attempt to hail the ship to stop it. Doesn't seem like they will open fire unless the negotiations break down which I doubt they will." Have our ships and star-fighters hold their positions and signal the ship we're attempting to join the New Republic, and to please hold their position. Make sure it comes across as friendly as possible I don't want anyone dying here."

[Revanchist]

"Sir, take a look at this," Second Lieutenant Relyr called out. Commander Kast Nerix of the Victory-II Star Destroyer Immolation crossed the bridge to the Sensor Officer's Station. If Lieutenant Relyr was actually speaking and not tinkering around, it must be something important.

"Yes Lieutenant, what is it?"

"I've been testing out the upgraded arrays we installed when we stopped for repairs," Relyr replied, gesturing at a screen displaying fleet movements the new sensor network had picked up over the last two weeks. It really was a fantastic piece of hardware, made by something called a Gree. "We are supposed to be the only taskforce assigned to this sector, right?"

"That is correct. No one else wants this blasted assignment," Nerix responded, a scowl forming on his face. Offend one little Moff and suddenly you find yourself demoted, put in command of an outdated, undersupplied fleet and sent to the front lines to die. No matter, Nerix thought, The little fierfek deserved it. The Indefatigable was a warship, not a party barge. But there was something about those fleet movements . . . "Wait, there's another taskforce here? Wonder what they did to deserve this assignment. Well whatever the case we could use all the help we can get." His eyes narrowed, then suddenly widened. "Isn't that the registry for a command ship?"

"Indeed, and not just any ship." Relyr's hands whizzed across his panel, bringing up the vessel in question. "That's Grand Admiral Madara's new command. An Executor, I hear, along with his personal fleet."

"How interesting. So, the Council approved a military campaign and didn't inform us. Typical." His scowl deepened.

"That's what I thought at first, but when I went back over the data I noticed something unusual. There's no record of this fleet movement being approved by the Moffs," the Sensor Officer noted. Next, he plugged in one of those projects he had been working on. "And that's not all. According to my portable pattern analyzer, the Admiral's fleet was making a routine border sweep. Typical first move when preparing a strike. But then this happened."

"So he changed course. Maybe your analyzer needs more wo--" Nerix stopped, a sinking feeling starting to gnaw in the pit of his stomach. " . . . they changed course to avoid us." This doesn't make sense. I served under Madara, he was a friend. He never passed up a tactical advantage, and he stood up to the Moffs in my defense; he wouldn't pass up an opportunity to add to his forces because of politics. At least, I thought I knew him

Relyr nodded. "And then we have this. Two hours ago the whole fleet vanished. It wasn't for long, maybe 45 seconds. When it reappeared, the fleet transponder was using the same encryption as when it disappeared."

The gnawing feeling intensified, a bitter taste forming in the Captain's mouth. Lagging encryption. We used that whenever we took those side missions fighting pirates. That means he's long gone, and he didn't want Imperial Command to know. "Very well. Comms, contact Naval Command immediately."

Ensign Beecher straightened to attention. "Yes sir. What shall I tell them."

I'm sorry, old friend. "Inform them . . . Grand Admiral Madara has gone rogue."

[Mr.Puerto]

Hey I'm going to log off for the night, got some bad news. So I want to think about it. So  don't do anything too dramatic hahaha maybe some character building? I'll be back bright and early so the Absence won't be for too long.

[GreyStar]

(Like Tierce I gotta sleep but a friend kept me up so I've been lurking. I'll get back to posting in the morning but I love everything so far, you guys are great!)

[RevanTheFireMage]

Adrian heard the sound of the comm beeping to life, he nodded at his officer to keep rejecting their comm hails

"I'm going to get so close to that Interdictor before they do anything about it, that Interdictor is going to want a restraining order against me that's how close I'm going to get" He muttered to himself as his face was set in a permanent scowl, his dislike of imperial officers and commanders was very deep.

 It went back to when he was the sole survivor of the MC80 Liberty class Triumphant, and how before the Triumphant had engaged a Star Destroyer the commanding officer had thrown taunts as he saw how helpless they were and yet still didn't give them mercy.

"Launch E-Wings and show them that if they come any closer we will open fire"
