[OOC] Star Wars: The 417th Legion (Dead)

[The Survivor]

There is something I don't get, in the show there are troopers and squads that are color coded but they don't necessarily follow up with the wiki page. Like a whole squad of yellow clones with a certain design or a squad of blue clones with a stripe down the middle. Hell, Rex is a Captain but he's blue when the wiki says red. It seems to be regardless of rank sometimes. Can someone explain that to me?

@The Survivor

That was how the Kaminoans originally intended to distinguish between the ranks of their clones. However after the battle of Geonosis the Jedi felt that having all the clones in the same plain white armor with the only variations being rank color didn't allow for the clones to have individuality. The Jedi preaches that even though all the clones were genetically identical, they were each a separate and individual living entity in the Force. They wanted the Kaminoans to allow all clones to fully personalize their armor but refused. Then after about two weeks the debate settled on a compromise in which each Jedi general selected a color for their Legion of Clones. This color could be used by the officers and the veterans in the legion to personalize their armor. The clones were then also allowed to cut/dye their hair and tattoo themselves throughout all ranks of the army.

Hope that helped.

Who's up next to post?

[The Scotsman]

Welcome to the 2nd, Commander Drake and @Vhagar.

[Shard]

Updated Vail's lightsaber, changed the picture in his character sheet.

Nothing important, I just wanted to keep everyone updated.

[Vandy]

The roster is now fully up to date.

Who's up next to post?

@The Survivor

I just got off of work, give me a few hours and I'll have a double 117th/Red Draigon post written up that will advance both the naval and ground battles. Heads up for everyone, the next objective for the 1st Infantry regiment will be to destroy enemy jamming stations that are cutting off our communications. The 2nd regiment will be defending against a massive counterattack with enemy tanks and hailfire droids at the forefront. The navy will finish off the blockade and then be in charge of running supplies to and from our strong points. @bluetommy2 you'll be in charge of blowing up a Black Sun space station on the far side of the solar system. After the 1st battalion establishes communications I plan on introducing Dask Gat for the first time.

On another note, we really need an armored battalion. I'll make one myself if I have to but I don't want to keep using an entire regiment as unnamed cannon fodder.

@Vandy You got it boss-man

@Vandy

I honestly won't be able to run another regiment. I could maybe do a battalion, but my posts would be longer apart. If no-one else is interested in taking up a spot I would do it.

[Bluetommy]

I'd take the battalion if I'd be allowed

@The Scotsman

Alright, you don't have to lead another regiment, I just want at least one armored battalion out there so we can get some tank battles in there.

@bluetommy2

You are definitely allowed another battalion as soon as you get 3 IC posts in.

@Vandy

Screw it, I'll do it then once I'm eligible. We need at least one anyway, so if the other guy gets one and so do I that just helps everyone. Worst case scenario if I can't handle it, spider droids and hailfires rip the entire battalion apart.

[Bluetommy]

@Vandy Funny you mention that, I have another IC post I've been working on, should be up soon, unless you wanna post first.

@Vandy

An Armored Battalion seems like a hell of a lot of fun to me. I'd run one myself if I didn't think it would get too confusing. Maybe once I have a firm grasp on my current situation I would consider it.

@Vhagar

Sounds great. Anyway I posted, not quite at the quality I wanted but it moves things along. I'll write up the new objectives in a few hours. We'll be moving into phase two of the Ord Mantell invasion soon. We are making damn good progress guys.

[Shard]

The Scotsman and I will finish our reply today I hope.

[Vandy]

The Scotsman and I will finish our reply today I hope.

@Shard

Looking forward to it.

I thought I had put the new objectives up but I guess I forgot to hit save, my bad. I don't get off of work for another 6 hours but I'll try to get them up then. If I don't just go to bed...

[Vandy]

The briefing post has been updated.

[Vhagar]

Who's up next?

[Vandy]

Who's up next?

@Vhagar

You can go next, or I can. Whoever really. I'll post tomorrow regardless.

In other news I have seen the force awakens twice now. We can discuss the movie if everyone else has seen it.

@Vandy

I am going to see it in the next hour...literally. In other news the more I watch the clone wars the more I feel I would be a sith or at the very least a grey Jedi.
