ATTN: Defense of Berchest Moon

[Phil]

Read this

So according to this, I will need five Mandalorians to be stationed at the Mandalorian Base there. Your objective is to guard the base when they come to invade. Depending on your rank, you will have an appropriate number of Mandalorians under your command. If you want a certain posistion either at the Base or Forrest outpost, please explain why.

Base Defending: Defending the base is your main objective, as well as neutralizing any threats coming to it. Capturing some is fine, but not a priority. You will also have access to the base's security system and weapons, so use them to help with the defense. Defending the base against the threats and surviving will bring you honor, prestige and respect.

Forrest Defense: Fending off any threats found in the Forrest is a must, rather they be wild animals attacking or hostel forces, none must get past the perimeter and into the base. Stop them at all cost. You have a command post out in the woods, which also presents a good sniping posistion. Defending the Forrest perimeter against the threats and surviving will bring you honor, prestige and respect.


You sign up here. Post your Mando name, rank and link to profile and I'll add you on up.

BATTLE IN THE BASE
Mando One: A'lore Onoveus Oderyn
Mando Two: Sergeant Damri Atin'al
Mando Three: Sergeant Corden Vecu

BATTLE IN THE WOODS
Mando Four: Elite Delmon Skyblade
Mando Five: Corporal Thane Omega
Mando Six: Sergeant Kuros

 

[Commander529]

Count me in Mando'ade. I am up for the job.

 

[Loco]

I'm in. I'll be adding my NPCs to my profile soon too.

 

[Phil]

You're both in, just want to say glad our newer members are jumping in. Also, a slight update, there will be six spots, three will be fighting in the base, the other three will be in the Forrest outside the base.

 

[Commander529]

I would love to be in the base.


. . . Nevermind. sorry

 

[Phil]

I would love to be in the base.


. . . Nevermind. sorry

I'm splitting them evenly now, but if you can give me a reason why you should be in the base instead, I'd may reconsider. I don't want someone who excells in CQC out in the ranged forrest and such.

 

[Johnnysaurus Rex]

Base.

 

[Veritas et Lux]

any possibility for jedi support? Mitya Ivanovna (in sig) would love to accompany / lead a team for base defense.

 

[Vencu]

Corden is perhaps one or two jumps away, but he is engaged in preparations for another mission. If someone were to contact him on an emergency-priority channel and request assistance because of his somewhat close proximity to Terhaari, he would likely reroute from his current course and join the fight, otherwise he is dead set on rescuing Balkk from Imperial captivity.

If you could send that transmission in Honor, Against All Odds, there are two other characters on Corden's ship currently that could also participate as long as Shilan and Tesla have no problem with being included. So, as long as that transmission is sent to tie up the role-play on that end, you can put Corden up for the battle in the forest (as I assume Corden's ship will be landing some distance from the base to avoid its detection).

Could do that, that would fill up the forest slots. Although, really, it's out base, so there's not much need to avoid detection. I always liked the "guns blazing" approach ;)

Well, it really depends on when we arrive. I'm assuming the Mandalorians have no idea the base on Terhaari will be contested, so unless they have prior knowledge of the attack, Corden isn't likely to receive word of it until it actually is attacked. If that is the case, he would be arriving afterward, so he would definitely want to avoid being detected as the ship is flown in to land. However, if they do have some kind of advanced warning, perhaps detecting unknown vessels jumping in to the system, then Corden may be able to make it before the enemy does, but it would still be very close.

Always have an exit strategy...

 

[Dread]

No advanced warning.

If you want to come in after we attack then you give us a head start to blow things up.

I suggest against this. Theres no reasons to make things more complicated. You're on the moon during the attack, or you're not.

 

[Vencu]

Honestly, a small ship landing to drop a few Mandalorians off isn't that complicated at all. It isn't my call, though. I'll leave that one to Phil.

It would actually make more sense considering the fact that an attacker would have to get through the Mandalorians in the forest first before moving on to the base... with my group arriving late, it provides the mercenaries who are supposed to be fighting in the base the perfect opportunity to slip past the forest patrols and any other perimeter defenses. Then we suddenly arrive to reinforce the Mandalorians in the forest, preventing anyone else from getting through to the base. Since there are three characters in the ship and one Mando in the forest already, we simply send the odd one out to the base to fill that last slot. That can be explained rather easily IC, because it would make sense for a runner to be sent to the base to determine if it had been taken or if the Mandalorians fighting there still needed help.

 

[Dread]

If Phil wants to changes plans he can address me in PM and we can talk about it.

I'll let him know now, though, that I'm fully against making things more complicated than need be.

 

[Vencu]

As I said, it really isn't complicated at all. You may be worried that this is an attempt to get the one-up on the attacking force or something... it isn't, I just want to be involved and this is probably the smoothest, easiest, and most realistic way to go about it. If anything, this should give you the chance to gain the upper hand until the other Mando characters arrive.

You have quite a few player characters on your side of the conflict, so why can't the Mandalorians? We have too few people as is... We shouldn't have to resort to using non-player characters just because you have a bad feeling about us joining in. I don't mean any disrespect, I just don't see any reason why we can't go about this fairly.

...and that would be having your PCs on the moon already.

It's three Mando PC vs three hired Chiss PC each thread.

We aren't starting the threads until they fill up.

 

[Vencu]

Yes, I understood that to be your point of view the first time you stated it. This seems a bit redundant. Then again, so does me telling you how few members there are available to role-play on the Mando side.

We aren't starting the threads until they fill up.

As I said, there are very few active Mandalorian characters as is... and IC, almost half of the remaining Mandalorians available for this mission are on Corden's ship right now. So who is filling up those empty slots if not us?

I know Phil was playing around with the idea of everyone on the Mando side role-playing a NPC, so perhaps that is the best solution, I just figured it would be more balanced to have player characters fighting against other player characters.

 

[Syn]

Ah considering this has yet to be up for a day I doubt many of the mandalorians have seen it. These kinds of threads take sometime to fill up.

 

[Dread]

Sigh.

I don't believe just because you and your buddies wont join(which it seems like you wont if you don't get your way of how things are done) doesn't mean the Mando side wont fill up.

If it does mean the mando side wont fill up, then Phil and I can talk about making the threads smaller to even up the fight.

By the way, in case you're under the assumption that your characters have to rp between threads, they don't. You can be in multiple threads without them effecting each other. Meaning, you can be on the moon when the fight starts, you don't have to be arriving from another mission.

I hope that's the case.

No, I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads-up. Better late than never, I suppose.
