Invasion of Manann

Not everything is about tech. But if you're going to complain....

Here and here are the Watts and Noble class Crusers. They have much more firepower than they should, and the Watts is mass produced. Meaning we have as many as we need. Unless you want to start a few Dev threads for a Command Ship or Star Destroyers, use what we have.


Also, they are killable. You just have to be smart about it.

 

[Qae Shena]

To be fair, the Republic has a right to worry about losing an invasion that puts them at risk of losing about a good two-thirds of their current territory after a follow-up dominion that we can't defend.

Ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake. This is the most high-stakes invasion this faction will ever face.

Coruscant, sure, you lose a capital. But this puts your faction at risk of a lot of losses. If ever the time was here to stand up and fight, it is now. No, I am not a faction admin, but I'm here to help, and I'm going to do my absolute damnedest along the way.

So here's how we do. I will be fighting underwater at the kolto processing objective. I would have brought Zane to fleet, but I feel I can be more useful here. I will need assistance. I would like some fellow Masters to back me up.

We are going to need a sizable fighting force in the city. We need everyone to step up, right now.

In terms of fleeting, we get 8000m. Let's split that evenly between 3-4 people. People with experience, please put your talents to use. We can expect some of the best fleeters they have to come our way. I would like the same here.

Regarding the leviathan issue- unless the OS pull out a dev thread and two new subs, leviathans shouldn't be an issue. The canon two? One's a bipedal land creature (and therefore useless), the other is specifically engineered for killing Mon Calamari. This is Manaan. Even if that was the case, being on the same Wookiee category as a lethal killer virus makes it a superweapon. I'd report their use regardless, or at least have the OS come forward and discuss it.

Regarding their ships- yes, it's a bad situation for us, but the surprise attack gives us an advantage or two that a smart fleeter will be able to exploit on the one major weakness the Immortal has.

 

[Aurelia Saelari]

Leaving aside the tech, I am beginning to suspect that certain elements in the Republic are trying to sneak their 'rebellion' agenda into this.

Since they couldn't get general faction support they create a situation where the Republic loses 1/3 of its territory when it loses an unfavourable battle.

It's easy to say enjoy the story, but it's easier to enjoy the story if you're given a chance to win.

 

[Popo]

Y'all have fun. After the previous fun with the OS and the Black Suns vs Red Ravens invasion, I'm done with this sort of thing for the foreseeable future. Still, I'm rootin' for you guys.

 

[Anarya Drast]

Also, the Immortals have 90% of their guns facing forwards, and can't turn for squat. Flanking maneuvers from corvettes/frigates, let alone a cruser, should be effective.

 

[Qae Shena]

Actually, you know what, that's a fair call, [member="Aurelia Saelari"].

If you have a One Sith alt that will be participating on behalf of their faction, please refrain on calling people out on stuff and generally coming across as 'oh but you can't complain rabble rabble rabble'. You wouldn't appreciate people calling things out in the One Sith faction forums for the same thing. I wouldn't do it to you, so, it's only fair that we ask that you not do it here. Let's not uphold a double standard.

The Altier-class should be good for that. Mass-produced for the Republic. Knock yourselves out.

That's about 2000 per fleeter.

How many people do we have to fleet?

 

[Qae Shena]

[member="Gir Quee"] and [member="Camellia Swift"], I would hope.

 

[Avalore Eden]

And you think we fielded the Dominion of Attahox simply for story purposes?

Come on people, the admin team is working for you. Trust me, we got guff from OS people about the dominion of Attahox.

 

[Enyo Typhos]

Gir Quee and Camellia Swift, I would hope.

There's [member="Friedrich Stahlmann"] as well. He's an admiral.

 

[Aurelia Saelari]

I will point out in case it was unclear, I fully support the One Sith for pushing their agenda. They’re supposed to be conquering, and if they can the best terms for their side, good luck to them.

I am merely questioning the wisdom of our side giving such favourable terms.

I would also point out at this juncture two things about the Sith war beasts.

The Nightmare Child, as per my (alts) ruling, can only move once ever. So if the OS want the Nightmare Child to come to Manaan…fine, but it’s stuck here forever.

Also remember that the Sithspawn beasts, the Nightmare Child especially, are not capable of entering atmosphere successfully. In the same way that full sized capital ships cannot land or take off from the ground and because of the heat and pressure, attempting to do so will turn it into a Sithspawn pancake.

As for the Immortal, I am not too concerned about it. The thing is slow, so the Sith fleet must either take a long time to be ready to engage, or move ahead of its own ship.

The four day OOC posting restriction for bringing in reinforcements is not a major issue either, given how long fleeting takes in all invasions.

And yes, One Sith infiltrators, you may read all of this without feeling guilty…not that you probably are…as it’s all common sense and common knowledge.

So despite the dud hand we’ve been dealt, I intend to fleet in this invasion with my Admiral. If we lose we lose, though on balance the amount of decisive fleeting engagements are rather small.

So as the Republic which I am sure all those reading are…right…let’s come together and try and resist.

Because if we lose, it’s pretty much all over.

 

[Kyrana Gould]

Forgive the alt double post, but I will be fleeting as this chap.

Now Caid is on LOA I'm the highest ranking naval officer in the Republic. I can either take the initial fleet defence or the reinforcements, depending on the preference of others.

 

[Avalore Eden]

This is a better attitude.

Let's start getting teams organized, both Fleeters, NFUs, and our Jedi people. I don't want the Invasion to begin and have dozens of people not knowing what they're doing.

Team leaders! Please take initiative and tag your subordinates, get a plan going and post here which objectives you intend to head up.

 

[Qae Shena]

Kolto plant. If nobody minds putting the water-shaping fish in charge (logic, go), I'll head that one up.

 

[Avalore Eden]

Happy to have you and to rp with you once more, [member="Qae Shena"]!

 

[Qae Shena]

Likewise. Been missing your wonderful mind. [member="Avalore Eden"]

Avalore will be on the ground but as she is a non-combative character she will simply be around for purposes of Healing Republic people and helping the citizens.
