[OOC] Star Wars: Era of Despair

The ship is definitely a no. But perhaps Sep can help you out. Although a more thorough background should be added.

Why is it a definite no? I'm not complaining, i'm just looking for what specifically about it makes it a no, so I can avoid others like it. Is it too big? Too well armed? the fact that it can carry a squad of fighters? I just wanted a small, reasonably well armed, fast ship for her and her peon buddies. I mean, would a Victory II-Frigate (less well armed) or Tartan-Patrol Cruiser (smaller) be out of the question?

Anything larger than a freighter is surely a no because full organizations including and especially military ones were destroyed. And I also mean just shils as well. Just about 99% of cruiser and up had to be reconstructed. Initially I immediately said no because it is Imperial. And I would expect someone of the jedi order to have been a Padawan, under a master. A master who was killed, therefore they have no lackeys.

If you feel your character chose not to go into hiding while crime conttolled the galaxy for a year or two and therefore you gained followers, you must preaent an authentic background. One especially that Sep will agree to.

Define "Freighter." I mean freighter, in Star Wars, could mean anything between the YT-??00 series and a Mon Calamari Star Dreadnought (Which were repurposed Bulk freighters) Can you give a rough size limit?

As I said in the Bio, she has a bunch of Lackey Ex-Stormtroopers, who banded together with her, because the Empire left them to die, and they still wanted to change the universe for the better. What many people forget is that Stormtroopers aren't necessarily evil. They just work for evil people. They believe they are making a difference in the universe and changing it for the better, so, when a Jedi finds them and asks them to help her, and with little other options and a command structure that is in total chaos... Well, people make snap decisions to survive. As I said, inspired by Joan of Arc.

I'd say he's probably wanting something no bigger than a Gozanti or a Consular Class cruiser.

I'll leave that to Sep as I'm sure he'd know more on the Legacy era Empire stuff. Although we aren't talking about Palpatines Empire at all, so no one is saying anyone is evil. 'Cept the Sith, jerks...

shrug depends on the Captain. A lot of Imperials were believers of the Jedi and the Force just not the Republic and how it operated. Its entirely possible that they saw this as their way of doing some good.

Well, if you don't mind me asking, what's the problem with an Escort Carrier then? I mean, they are roughly the same size as a Consular. I mean, in Raid at Bakura, it's shown side-by-side with a Rebel Transport, and is not all that much bigger than it. (A rebel Transport being 90 meters, and is approximately 2/3 the Escort Carriers size, putting the Escort Carrier at an approximate size of 135m from bow to stern. Compared to the Consular at 115m)

I'm just saying, if it's still a no-go, then i'll bump it down to the Consular. I just love the Escort Carrier, and it's so rare i find the chance to command one T.T

You and Sep discuss an accurate size and how many and what fighters are exactly on it, then we'll see. I'll try. But you'd have to start after the Timeskip, which is when everyone gets more creds

[mattmanganon]

Fighters? Dude, the most I would want, fighter wise, would be a small cargo shuttle (About the size of Phantom) and maybe a single wing of TIE-Fighter's (They may be shit, but they are cool.)

They aren't exactly shit, they are a decent fighter and can outdo many other fighters

[DELETED324324]

I shall try to post tomorrow providing the guild returns my love.

[King Solterra]

Enalais, aren't we supposed to be collabing? Also, I believe Gisk and I should also be collabing

[DELETED324324]

Yes but we never seem to have a good time to collab.

[Gisk]

No, I have to do one with Sep first.

[Sep]

Been busy today, you're collab is the first thing on my list tomorrow.

[Gisk]

I'm not worried, this isn't an RP I'm worried will die from lack of activity.

Not really, they have a single engine, a pair of blasters and a cockpit to stop the pilot falling out... That's it. They are the most basic of basic fighters. And that was the point, so the Empire could pump out thousands-upon-thousands of them for dirt cheap.

True enough, Ties were rolled off in the dozens. While the Empire had access to better ships TIES were easy to fly, and easy to produce. Also the fact they were all always identical and pilots weren't allowed to make customisations to them meant that you could pull a pilot from one SD to another without moving the fighters. In the Republic and New Republic they would move the fighters with the pilots.

Made things easier logistically. TIES main power comes from its rapid fire laser or from large swarms, if Matt has some of them he only will have the former advantage. He'll be able to scrape against uglies such as TYE-Wings but anything that has a shield his fighters immediately start out in a negative position.

Eh, i don't know about the backstory. I don't know because I haven't ventured entirely too far into the legacy Era.

Sep, what do you think about the second half?

I'll just wait till he finishes it for final verdict.
