Home Base Ideas

[Juliet Varos]

Alright, so while at the moment wandering is probably what we're all doing, the Grey Watch does need an HQ.

What I'm looking for is ideas on the planet it should be on (which will likely be our capital if we go major) as well as what exactly should be at the headquarters. At the moment, I'm open to just about anything.

Should we do a planet or should we do a spaces tatting that's not tied to a planetary body?

 

[Juliet Varos]

That might work as well; perhaps a space station?

My phone and autocorrect hate me. I meant to offer the space station concept but apparently we got space tattoos instead.

 

[Juliet Varos]

I figured that 'spaces tatts' wasn't what you meant, but I didn't know what else that could mean.

[Kamon's OOC]

Yeah phone typing is screwy. I just figured a space station would be more flexible. Kind of like the one version of Star Trek.

 

[Juliet Varos]

So, looking at the space station template, it looks like we would need a 40 post dev thread for a station above 1,000 meters in length; do you think we should keep it under that, or go ahead and do the dev thread?

Dev thread.

 

[Juliet Varos]

Good news!
I have just gotten an offer from the UCT for the Grey Watch to move in to their Trade Station once it's completed and use it as an HQ.
In exchange, we police their territory.
Sound reasonable?

Who are the UCT?

What if instead of a space station you use a more mobile HQ, like having one major Star Destroyer-esque ship that monitors all the activity and data, and then have smaller ships act as relay points or whatnot. Then, in the off chance that the Grey Watch would incur enemies who'd want to attack HQ, it would be easier to move and relocate, or divert more/less resources as necessary to areas that need more/less policing.

Would that work?

 

[Kamon's OOC]

We could combine both, have the one on the space station be a public front but secretly operate out of a large ship that we can move around.

 

[Juliet Varos]

I feel like Norrin's idea is a good one; we can use the station as a temporary public base while we gather the resources to build a ship like the Star Destroyer.

And to answer your question, the UCT are a frontier exploration and trading group that I hold a position as Chief of Police in.

We will still be policing the entire galaxy, correct?
[member="Drax Thorin"]

 

[Juliet Varos]

Yes, of course; though we do need to have some home territory.
[member="Norrin Fulk"]

 

[Kamon's OOC]

Right. I just wanted to make sure I'd still be able to go after the hardcore guys throughout the galaxy.

I say we maintain a presence on UCTs Station as a central location where we can be contacted. I say we and possibly UCT dev up some serious defenses, both static and personnel based, to secure it against assault by the people we'll be going against.

Then we build out a mobile command center where active operations are based out of, minor factions are limited to 1000 meter lengths. We could eventually split the galaxy into sectors, and have a command ship in each sector.

This would give us a wide reach and a centralized structure at the same time.

I have other ideas, but I think this is a good way to start out.

I am going to try to work building a small outpost on The Wheel into the Mandalorian dom of that system.
