This thread will serve as the direct OOC thread for the battle at the Magma Caverns during the Sith Invasion of Saleucami.

Battle of Saleucami - Lake of Fire

So far, everything has been agreed upon except for the part about speeders. Per the other OOC thread, it looks like everything up to us. Gaba and I spoke over MSN and agreed upon a single battlefield, with one Galactic Alliance outpost over the entrance to the magma caverns. The battle takes place above ground, and access to the tunnels is the Sith objective.

Our final decision is whether each team will be allowed ten speeder (five speeders per player) to use with each player's fifty units. PMs have been sent and are now awaiting confirmation. We should be good to start as soon as everyone checks in :)

EDIT: I'd like to clarify the details for the speeders I had in mind. Different factions will have different designs and tech, but I'm assuming the they'd be balanced in defense/power/number of seats.

Spoiler: Speeder Specifications

(This, but as a speeder)

Gunnery Speeder
Light Armor Support Class Speeder
Mounted Blaster Turret​

Crew: Three
- Driver
- Side Seat Grenadier
- Mounted Turret Operator

The Gunnery Speeder is used as the primary support vehicle for the Sith Imperium. Most ground battles consist of soldiers of different classes and equipment, tactically coordinating to overcome specific sections of a battlefield with ease. The swiftness of the speeders allow for a fast approach, allowing the manually-operated mounted turret to quickly take out less-armored units while passing by. These constantly moving targets usually circle around a skirmish, closing in their enemies while the Sith infantry moves in, taking advantage of the distraction/surrounding forces.

(This, but more armored around the sides, and as a speeder)

Transport Speeder
Light Armor Transport Class Speeder
Reinforced Armor Plating​

Crew: Ten
- Driver
- Side Seat Grenadier
- Protected Passenger (Right Side)
- Protected Passenger (Right Side)
- Protected Passenger (Right Side)
- Protected Passenger (Right Side)
- Protected Passenger (Left Side)
- Protected Passenger (Left Side)
- Protected Passenger (Left Side)
- Protected Passenger (Left Side)

The Transport Speeder is designed for quick deployment in a ground battle. This military speeder is designed to have reinforced armor plating on its front and sides, remaining only slightly vulnerable from behind. The mounted turret in the back of the speeder has been removed, making room for eight extra passenger seats (four on each side, making up two squads for the entire vehicle), mostly covered by the reinforcing armor. These metal plates reach up to cover the heads and shoulders of its passengers, protecting them from random shooters across the battlefield. the armor of these vehicles is not so intense to brush off the most devastating attacks, but rocket launchers and vehicle collisions would deteriorate its durability. At most, they would be slowed down until enough damage has been dealt. The roof of the speeder is still exposed, and attacks from above would deal more damage than any other approach. These speeders have almost no firepower, having only a soldier in the front passenger seat to fire. Despite this vehicle's lacking of armaments, its strength and increased weight is more than enough momentum to smash through any soldiers that get in its way.

I'll put up the rest of my military details after my first post is up. I'll include all the statistical information on the troops once we get rolling, but I wanted to make sure that you guys are ready to post. Haven't heard anything from the Jedi today, and I'm about to go to work in an hour. I'll begin my first post having to do with the events before invading and touching down to the planet, but it'll happen after you guys go. Know who's posting first?

 

[Veritas et Lux]

darkside be with you, brother :D

 

[Zach]

darkside be with you, brother :D

And with you :D

 

[GABA]

darkside be with you, brother :D

Shoo sith.

 

[GABA]

Alright. We are rolling. DT will post his post and then you Sith can hop in.

 

[Zach]

Sounds good. Awesome opening post, btw :D

 

[Zach]

DeathToll, will you be posting tonight? I've noticed that all your other threads have received a reply, except for this one :D

I'll keave you a VM in case you're not subscribed to this thread.

 

[Zach]

DT responded with a VM and I'm typing up my post now. 1994, if you're on tonight, no rush, but whenever you're ready is good.

To let everyone know,

I have work six hours from now. 5:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m., and then overnight that night from 12:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. (Thursday morning). I'll be catching up sleep for the most part, so i won't be too active tomorrow, but I'll be sure to keep up with reading everything that goes on. Overnights are for the rest of the week, but it's just flipping my sleep schedule around. I'll still have free-time to get on the site, but the times I'm available will look like I live in Australia :D

 

[GABA]

Cool beans.

Thanks for keeping us posted!

 

[Zach]

Alright, solid post DT. Nice play with the scout. He'll probably be able to spot the drop ships landing off in the distance, but the para-jumping troops behind the left cliff would be out of sight, I think. Not that you mentioned that he would, but I thought I'd clarify that ahead of time.

Post is up, folks. Kinda lengthy, but it starts from when we're in hyperspace. I described how the squads are laid out and what they're specialized with, but I'll edit my initial post to include the detail of our forces.

 

[Veritas et Lux]

your post is lengthy as hell

 

[Sreeya]

Zach is the king of text walls. I thought this was common knowledge by now lol

 

[GABA]

Oh I know, this isn't the first time I've rped with him. Probably the longest post I've had to read yet.

 

[Sreeya]

Zach is the builder of the Great Wall Of Text. :CScool

(It's late and pre-finals, I'm allowed a few lame jokes..)

 

[GABA]

That was just....bad.

 

[Blueberrypie]

I read the post. It was great.
I'm so going to steal shit from you, like the gravitic modulators and so on. It's golden.
I'm being educated in the SW universe as I read. :P

 

[GABA]

I've been reading more star wars this week than I should be. D:

 

[Zach]

your post is lengthy as hell

>_> Maybe a tad bit :D

Zach is the king of text walls. I thought this was common knowledge by now lol

The wall is all.

Oh I know, this isn't the first time I've rped with him. Probably the longest post I've had to read yet.

Heh, Serg's training was fun! I like creative writing, so figuring out the blindfolded walk through the walls were fun XD

I read the post. It was great.

lol, thanks.
I actually stole it from Xeno. He used it in the StealthXs when we bombed the Will of the Force. That's actually canon ship, though. (Remember, it was played ICly as a facade by an anonymous third party. People pretty much know, but it was played as a farce to instigate the Jedi in the war).

 

[Sreeya]

That was just....bad.

You're just jealous of my ability to spew out comedic gold at any given instance.
