DEFIANCE ARMADA: THE BATTLE OF SARAPIN
SIGN-UP
Hey guys! So, with a pretty beefy roster now, I think we're ready to start moving to organizing battles for Defiance Armada to really get things moving. I've spoken to @Dmitri about organizing our first battle on our road to the Core, and we've chosen the world of Sarapin as the site of the first major battle between the Armada and the Sith Imperium. The general outline is that we'll need to go groundside to defeat an Imperial garrison stationed there in order to allow ourselves to pass through the system. Sarapin is the point of least resistance in the region, since our other main option is basically Kuat, and when our tactical options are a volcanic, industrial world that provided power to the Core Worlds and one of the largest shipyards in the entire galaxy, we're obviously going to go with the former (as, remember, our primary objective isn't conquest, after all.). Sarapin also gives us a VERY nice avenue to Coruscant as well, so there's that.
This also allows us to do a ground battle, since I stated previously we'd be avoiding space battles where at all possible, unless you guys really start asking for one. So the main premise will be for an advance force to take out the Imperial garrison, maybe sabotage some of the laser drills and energy collectors, but mostly just clear out resistance so the bulk of the fleet can pass through the system unopposed, and hopefully head on to Coruscant. As I've stated before, the battle(s, depending on how many people are interested in participating on both sides) will be played according to Manaan rules - that is, 48 hour time-outs between posts and a 2 week limit on the thread duration. f that duration expires and the thread isn't concluded, then the thread will be reviewed by a staff member (not me or Weiss, for obvious reasons) and a ruling will be made on the victor. So obviously there's a strong expectation that if you sign up, you will be held responsible for posting regularly and quite quickly to keep things moving forward, so please bear that in mind when you sign up.
So! If you're interested, please state so below with the name of your character you are interested in using below. Please note that you need to be a member of Defiance Armada to sign up for this - however, sign-ups are still open, and you can state your interest in the Defiance Armada Sign-up thread, located here. Thanks!
