Skirmish With GA

RIP Carlyle Rausgeber

"It's all been bloody marvellous..."
Hey, just suggesting we should have some kind of battle with GA?

I think it'd be rather fun to have some kind of battle with them. After all, they're pretty much the biggest light side faction in our zone here. Plus it'd be a rather good idea to get ourselves acquainted with the good-two shoes guys we'll most likely be making enemies with in coming months. Hell, it'd be a great time to build some IC rivalries with the Alliance, and I think we should pursue it.

I even went through and made some ideas for why we'd be fighting in the first place:

1. Operation Thieftaker: As apart of operations to crush piracy in the Anoat system, First Order Naval personnel have taken to pursuing pirates and smugglers in an attempt to execute detain the crew. Perhaps an eager crew cross borders into Alliance space and in response the Galactic Alliance sends its fleet and troops to deter them. An overzealous gunner, still believing the Order is justified in its action fires against orders. This is seen as an act of war by the GA, and a space battle ensues.

2. Operation Saving Grace: For centuries now Nar'iin of Zarnathea have enslaved their primitive cousins, the Vax. The First Order stood to profit from the sale of Vax for their shipyards. The Free Vax have fought a so far unsuccessful civil war, and until very recently didn't seem to be a threat to the status quo. A series of victories however has put things on a knifes edge, which has meant the Vax have become a viable threat to Nar'iin supremacy. With the planet within the spheres of influence of both the Galactic Alliance and First Order, the two have sent military "advisers" and "diplomats" to quell the conflict. I think this idea would be more inclusive, and wouldn't exclude the military as the other idea does.

Nonetheless, what do you admins think?
 
I'm all for the second option.

But rather than supporting them directly, it's like in the Last Samurai where the Americans send weapons / american soldiers to teach them how to use them and fight alongside our Imperial-ish allies that the Nar'iin are.

It's kinda like in SW:TOR where House Thul supports the Imperials, and thus your Imperial characters help them, and they help you versus the Republic's House Organa while you're on Alderaan Storyline.

I like it.

I'd personally prefer a Vietnam War-like scenario. What I was thinking of was an operation where our troops are actively leading the Nar'iin loyalist troops into battle against the enemy, and leading search and destroy missions against enemy villages and installations.

Could be interesting to have a Soviet-US style standoff in space (while poodoo hits the fan dirtside), especially if both sides have specific orders to a. not engage the other but b. not back down.

Especially if the guy in charge of the fleet in orbit is prone to retaliate first.
 
[member="Carlyle Rausgeber"] If you're looking for a cassus belli to engage the GA, we already have plenty. Our history with them is long and storied:

They invaded us in an unprovoked attack when the First Order was just starting up on Eriadu, forcing us offworld and to eventually settle on Dosuun. Then, they proceeded to clandestinely support the Resistance against the First Order in a proxy war against us. To make matters even more cut-and-dry, they rejected our non-aggression offer.

We have always been on the defensive against the GA, they started an unprovoked aggressive war with us from the beginning, based on idealism. So much for the "peaceful" ideals of democracy. ;)

So yeah, we don't actually need to make up any new reasons to hate the GA. We already have a grab-bag full of them to choose from. However, the only thing is at this point in time, official orders from High Command are NOT to engage the GA forces, simply for strategic reasons. But at the same time... sh!t happens. So as long as you don't go out of your way to pick a fight, you should be fine.

[member="Ludolf Vaas"] Don't worry boss man, we won't be blasting them at first sight. We'll be giving the enemy ample warning before any military engagement. You want to get in on this General? The more the merrier.

Which why I think [member="Carlyle Rausgeber"]'s second idea sounds very appealing. It'll be unofficial and easily deniable. Besides looking at the beating the One Sith are taking I can't help but feel we'd lose a full scale war...
Do we have a decent OOC relationship? While this could provide some great story opportunity, I'd rather not p*ss them off ;)

[member="Asharad Graush"] House Thul and it's leader [member="Elaine Thul"], is with the alliance. The One Sith kinda put her through the mill, and she hates sith, sorry I did try. Also I am always happy to use in doms against you, as it was fun last time. :)

Then they vong formed Alderaan and made her watch, oh and got glitter to dribble on her, and she lost bladder control.
