Naval Academy

[Tanith Alde]

Picking up on all the negativity and difficulty the faction is facing, would it be allright if I went ahead and opened a little Naval academy to funnel recruits and less harsh rp into the faction? Serious of course but, a slight change from all the drama we're expiriencing

 

[Khyros Sunblade]

I have no issue with this, and I see no issue coming forth, though I will let others speak on it.

What location did you have in mind?

Will you need help on the location sub?

As things are going, i was thinking to put the Academy in an asteroid belt in a far corner of the galaxy, keep it out of sight, and out of dominion interest. I'd like to get a roster of recruits and such before I do a location sub but, I would appreciate assistance on it either way

The System of Carida would love to foster the development of a Naval Academy for the Republic.
I offer OOC since my Character's IC appointment as Senator for Carida is up and coming.

 

[Ali Hadrix]

I've established Carida as the location of Ali's private military force, and it's a great location! The terrain is perfectly suited to training soldiers. That said, I think naval training could probably benefit from a geographic area designed to facilitate/challenge it, like the Maw for example. (Not sure if the Maw has an actual location or if it's wrapped up in with Kessel, which is owned, but it was just an example.)

Like a nebula could be used, and one special aspect could be our cadets become especially well versed in navigating and fighting without the use of instruments.

Very on point there miss Ali.
Naval training can honestly take place anywhere.
Having a facility from which the basics are taught from though wouldn't be a bad idea too and then graduate on to a higher level of schooling.

This could lead to strong NPC's down the line dependent on development threads and what not along with giving access for more roleplay backgrounds for military characters.

Think of this,

Undergrads (Cadets)
Graduates (For these purposes will be Midshipmen) go on to perform hands on training as Line and Staff officers at the various locations throughout space.

Similar to how your amazing commandos take roughly two years to train up to being fully ready.

That sounds fantastic! Do you have any ideas geographically for areas that can be used? I can only think of different types of nebulae, the Maw, etc.

Though there are the binary planets of Corellia that could be used for exercises.

 

[Mantic Dorn]

Excellent idea!

And even though I dont mind a hidden/distant location, why not dev a space station that is no planet that we can "move" if need be?
That way it could serve as our main naval academy and be inside our cloud, but not go defunct because of an invasion/dominion.

Loving the steady stream of ideas, the space station seems like the best idea for now. I'd also like to start a few dev threads for training ships full size battleships but, only lightly armed and armored, with plenty of hanger space as well

If you go with space station I would suggest that we implement developing the space station in our next dominion. You can then use it as dev thread for the actual station. A space station requires 40 posts and this way we could get help from others to complete the objective with the space station.

Light armored training ships will most likely not require dev threads per rule. Its usually enough to simply sub them directly. Its when you give them special qualities that you require development threads, ie they are better then standard.

That said, develop threads can regardless be fun to write of course

 

[Khyros Sunblade]

The factory is optional, I'd say it would be unneeded for training ships unless you really want to have the stats down somewhere.

 

[Eugen Aker]

[member="Beckett Wrath"] I think Carida is your best bet for a home base. It has a tradition for military instruction, based within the core of the Republic, and it would give our residents at Carida some extra activity. For live excercises, you could always take field trips to another region.

Similar to a dominion to develop a Space Station you only need 10 posts per writer and we need a minimum of 3-4 writers to complete.
Predetermine some assigned objectives/goals out of character before hand.
Then begin work on the station.
Hell we could just build a nice Golan Defense station with slightly less guns and more book smarts.

For advanced Astronautical and Hypernautical navigation and training... hmmmmm...
Well I guess we have some exploring to do at some point!

I feel we wouldn't need to have specific training ships.
Arguably the costs alone to build ships just to train with would be doubtlessly scrutinized by the Senate and likely the effort to develop such ships would consume writing time.

I suggest that they simply join into the fleet as Midshipmen and continue their training On the Job so to speak.
An example of narrative development would be that Mr. Beckett Wrath would receive a higher volume of trainees due to being away from the combat areas where having green and wet behind the ears only lead to mistakes.
Under the Tutelage of the squadron of ships and crew these young officers grow into their new found positions and graduate into commissioned ranks (based on Grades and Evaluations of course) of Ensign on up to Lieutenant.
Then their void pupped eyes get shipped off to being stationed on whatever ship we need them on!

Bear in mind this assumes that we are not just talking about ship captains but every position from restricted Line Officers (i.e. Medical, Engineering, Intelligence, Astronautical, etc) to Unrestricted Line officers (i.e. ship warfare specialists, star fighter pilots, etc).
Voila!

 

[Khyros Sunblade]

We could have an indeterminate number of ships rotated to training duty on a cycle.

Say they rotate in to trade midshipmen in for fully trained officers out to the rest of the fleet.

That way, we don't need to say that X Squadron is only for training and what not.

 

[Eugen Aker]

[member="Caius Flavian"] I'm in the middle of working on some techy things now, I'd be happy to join you and the others in developing a new space station.

Though my schedule is somewhat busy, I would like to start a dev thread for this station when possible. Ideally slow paced, 1-2 High detail posts a day, over the course of say a week should do it.

I think ill go with the idea of training then shipping them off, as well as field trips and 'live in' simulation of ship combat and activities

Via a dominion or a seperate thread?

Whicever is more convenient for the republic

Errr... Doms are always good.

I'll drum something up. But not sure if [member="Ella Nova"] still plans to post Taris dom?

Let's finish Altier first before posting another dominion. And let's not forget about Agamar.
