DEVASTATION: Factory Contest

[Laira Darkhold]

[SIZE=11pt]On August 24th the TSE and ORC will begin a campaign being facilitated with the approval of Staff in an effort to test a new opportunity for “Micro” Events based around existing Faction Rivalries. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]For this campaign, the Sith Empire will be deploying a Planet Killing Superweapon and unleashing its deadly potential upon their bitter rivals, the Outer Rim Coalition. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]The Factory will be hosting a Competition to collect submissions for this Superweapon which anyone on Chaos can submit to the Starship Section of the Factory. A few will be chosen by TSE’s Faction Leadership, one of which will be chosen by Staff to be the Planet-Killing Superweapon unleashed for the duration of the Campaign.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Take a look at what submissions will be judged upon and the requirements they must adhere to. Label all submissions with [CONTEST] in the Title and link them in this thread to be Judged.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Competition will start on today and last until August 12th, 2019. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]JUDGMENT CATEGORIES[/SIZE]

• 
  [SIZE=11pt]Effort: Is the submission well written, providing opportunities for stories for boarders, defenders, fleeters, and starfighters to tell a story? That’s the main goal and so more opportunities for these stories will factor in.[/SIZE]
  
• 
  [SIZE=11pt]Cool Factor: Does the submission exhibit a level of cool like the Fonz? Is it Scary to behold? Does it seem like something an Edgelord might call home? [/SIZE]
  
• 
  [SIZE=11pt]Creativity: Not necessarily new ideas, reinventing the wheel in the form of the [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]Eclipse[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt] or the like isn’t frowned upon in the slightest, but how creative the overall submission is will be a factor.[/SIZE]

Question: The carrier of the superweapon is of an SSD class, and everyone knows that Superweapons are to be destroyed by the end of the event they are introduced in.

If by chance that by the end of the event only the superweapon itself is destroyed, will that SSD carrying it persist beyond the event?

Let me know if my question is unclear and I will seek to rephrase it better

Can the weapon destroy an entire star system, or do you want it to be merely a planet killer?

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

[member="Darth Voracitos"]
Work on the assumption that the whole thing will go up in flames.

[member="Vanessa Vantai"]
Just one planet as it's theoretically possible for this to be in a system with more than one canon or custom world.

Can we utilize a company in part of the manufacturer section? IE; the Sith Empire constructed the majority of the vessel, while Company #1 manufactured the frame and parts of the vessel per a one-time contract? The Affiliation would remain solely with the Sith Empire, of course.

Sure!

I've placed your submissions under review, however they won't be being judged in the normal sense. Instead the Event Staff will be reviewing them with the above criteria after the Contest ends. Until then, feel free to make edits if it strikes you.

Thank you all for participating!
