Round One takes place in an asteroid field, denser than most but not as suicidally dense as the Hoth asteroid field.

Don't say what damage the other side takes. Feel free to say what damage you think they might take, or what damage your character believes they've taken. Round One will end in two weeks, Thursday the 12th, at 6PM.

Each side has a single Nebulon-B frigate (hangar empty), four CR90 Corvettes, two squadrons of X-Wings and two squadrons of Y-Wings. These are real ships, but the weapons are set to electronic dummy mode.

All three teams begin slightly outside turbolaser range, at a dead stop, inside the asteroid field, equidistant from each other. Please adhere to the posting order you set with your first posts.

 

[Captain Larraq]

Rygel Larraq had been on the ships for hours, learning every inch of their blueprints, power output, weapon arcs, exc... And he still felt uncomfortable aboard the ships. They were old, antiquated designs of Republic origins and were a far cry from the powerful and sophisticated warships he was accustomed to commanding. All the same, he had finalized his assessment of his current assets and situation and come up with a plan of action.

"All ships, reverse two thirds." Rygel Larraq said calmly as he assumed his position on the command chair of the Nebulon-B.

"I'm sorry sir, these ship's cannot reverse." Said a junior officer reluctantly, clearly concerned about how the Captain would react to the news.

"They- What? Who designed these things?" Captain Larraq sputtered in disbelief.

"The Republic, sir." Said the same junior officer.

"Fair enough," Commented Larraq as he leaned back into his chair. "Then come about 120-degrees to starboard and put us ahead at two-thirds. I want some distance between us and those other two fleets."

"Aye Captain." Responded the pair of helmsman towards the front of the Bridge.

"And issue orders to the corvettes. I want Meeny to invert herself and move in a ventral-to-ventral formation with Eeny. Miny and Moe are to do the same. This will maximize their firing arcs, protect their vulnerable underbelly from opposing capital ships." Said Captain Larraq as his gaze lingered on the forward holoprojector. "I want both Corvette formations sticking close to the frigate. Their point defense is almost non-existent and I'll not tolerate their loss to a handful of starfighters."

"What of our own starfighters, captain?" Asked the comms officer as she finished echoing the Captain's orders to the other ships.

"Order Trouble Squadron into position between Eeny and Meeny, and Double Squadron into position between Miny and Moe. From there, they should be able to act as point defense for each Corvette pair. Not to mention being shielded from a great deal of incoming fire and withholding the ability to launch forth for a bombing strike at key moments." Captain Larraq said as his eyes reviewed the status of the asteroids surrounding their ships and watched for signs of enemy fleet movement on sensors. "Yes... that should do nicely. As for the Fighters... Order Should Stay Squadron into a tight escort of Bob. I want Should Go Squadron trailing behind the capital ships. Their job is to protect the capital ships' aft section."

Livia Maddox has withdrawn from the tournament. Her flotilla departs the asteroid field and jumps to hyperspace.
