It's what you've all been waiting for- the reason you log in... The Hutt Empire Newsletter (Issue 7 yayyy!)

Current Events
The current battles have ended! As decided by the staff:

Deep Space is a Hutt victory, destroying some of the Republic fleet and forcing the rest to retreat.

Dorin is a Hutt victory, but movement in and out of Dorin space is hampered by Republic sabotage. The hyperspace beacons aim towards the black hole as SOLAG intended, but the Hutts realize that the beacon coordinates were tampered with and thus the whole fleet was delayed while they have to sort out the correct coordinates for hyperspace jump. SOLAG is also still in the area unless Adena pulls them back and can do some damage to the Hutts if that's what they want to try and do.

Taanab space is secure but the planet is not under Hutt control, as a ground battle was not fought. However, the Hutts are at an advantageous position by choking off airspace. The Republic will be able to RP Tanaab ground defenses if the Hutts try and take it over.

What these translates to are Hutt victories- 3 out of 3. We're not done at Taanab, though, so we'll be deploying shock troops there as one of our battles. It will be a ground-only operation, so it's likely we'll be using one of our ground-heavy battlegroups.
Dorin will recover, so those groups are freed for deployment.
Finally and potentially most importantly, we've broken through the blockade and reestablished communications with our forward outposts- Yag'Dhul, Rhommamool, and Iktotch. Great work, Empire!

As I'm sure some of you have noticed, we have a new Mandalore! Welcome to Hutt High Command, Darth Malon- in your short time as Mandalore we've already seen a lot of work and a lot of promise. Everyone swing by the Mandalorian Boards to see whats up.

NEW BATTLES ARE ON THE WAY. High Command is in the first stages of planning our next targets- we have a few in mind and just need to assign battlegroups and figure logistics. Please look at the Battlegroup Rotation thread to know if you'll be deployed offensively- 6/9 of our groups are offensive, while 3/9 are defensive.

What’s New, Scooby-Doo?
Along with are aforementioned Battlegroup Rotation, we have a few new ships up in the Engineering thread I failed to mention before. Us boys with our toys- gotta love it.

A very important note- FOR A SHORT TIME WE WILL BE OPENING MANDALORIAN RECRUITMENT. This is for a limited time in preparation for a few of our plans, so get in your applications ASAP. They will be graded harshly, so give your profile your best effort.

Weiss is in the planning stages for an ongoing political meeting. All royalty is welcome to attend, please stay tuned for information.

Darksaber Squadron has new missions out- please contact Radzkie for more information.

Finally, we have our ninth Battlegroup! Congratulations to it's commanders, Count Sam and Sreeya. We've got no doubt you'll do us proud.

What the Faction Needs
RECRUITS! We're a massive faction already, but the more people we have the more we can do. With our new mission initiative rolling out soon, we need as many available people as possible. Space commanders and Hutt Armed Forces commanders are ideal- please contact myself or one of the faction's subleaders for information, or just apply in the Armed Forces Signup.

What You Can Expect From Me
Santoro’s Monthly To-Do List:
Unveil new mission initiative
Unveil new battle threads

Without your input, I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong, or if there are ways I can improve. The only way I’ll get better is with your input and help, so if you have ideas post them here or drop them in my PM box, and if you want to take initiative then by all means coordinate with your faction.

If there's something you'd like me to do in the coming month, POST IT HERE so I can add it to my to-do list.

Let me know what you think, Hutts!

Could you explain these for me? I'm not sure what you're fishing for.

well that is if you want to look at everything one sided. I got the key intel I wanted and delays I wanted from 2 of the threads, thus that tactically is a victory as well :P and Tanaab is not over so thats premature, just Hutts have the current advantage but it's " half time"

The delays came from OOC fail, far from a victory lol

Hutts won in breakthrough, captured Dorin, and have space superiority. 'Intel' is an acceptable trade.

What I mean is. Will there be more Space Vessels, Ground Veclines or however you spell it, Weapons, Armor, A Better Bounty List, Grenade Rocket Lase bomb, nulcker bombs, Plasma Rifles. Stuff The republic can't get there hands on and don't have which makes us Unquiet and very Dangerous and Powerful.

the sabotaged beacons at dorin happened that was the only objective as we had no buisness at that world, but used it to close off an entire passage way for a decent time.

" breakthrough" was a middle of nowhere blockade with no tactical value or anything.. yeah that OOC delayed alittle but the whole point of that was.. oh look hutts are on the move.. lets make sure they are hutts and then bugger off.

tanaab is not over completely yet and that was an ooc issue that forced it's orbit .


so logistically speaking there are wins there as well, IC it gives the reasoning to bolster defenses more in given areas of Republic space as again 2 of the threads were not technically battles as the Republic lost nothing. It's not all mindless pew pew pew all the time

K Adena, do you really have to argue this here? Let the Hutts have their victory over their...victory.

I actually started off being more playful than anything with teasing :P

I just sort of had to clear something up oocly as there seems to be alot of mis-information floating around

but yup overall there are victories both sides can claim ^_^


so light moods, I'm not going about this with any hostility or anything, it's just sounding more playfully friendly rivalry in my head at the moment than it does in text.

EDIT: Radz and Adena posted since I wrote this and they seem to have resolved things on their own, so if you guys want to skip over this that's fine, but I'll leave it for posterity's sake. :P

If we could move on now that would be great, this thread is a newsletter, not a place for us to argue over who won. If I see any more shit-talking in this thread ("lol yeah such a victory", "no hutts always win"), I'll start deleting posts.

Thanks. :)

Now back on subject...

I suggest another Hutt ball. With pizza this time(no salt of course), and more drunk Darksabers; last time Cedo and Radzkie were the only ones.

Alexis can out do you all. In Alcohol. Also I will there be, More Planets owned by the royal family? What ever happened to the Bounty Hunter's Guild Bounties. Also What about Prototype weapons,Suits, models?

We could have an after-meeting ball. It'll be buffet style so there'll be some pizza. And alcohol...

And just so that thread doesn't turn into a drinking game, I've changed my mind and decided to ban alcohol from the meeting and ball.

@ the planets: The nobility acts as a governing body over all the planets, with the royal family at the top of the government. You could say that the royal family owns all the planets, with the nobility in smaller chunks.

@ the BHG: The Bounty Hunter's Guild can take our bounties, as for theirs I'm not sure. They're allied, but not operated by the Empire.

@ new weapons: We can certainly add new toys, but we first need to know what we're missing. Having three different rifles that fill the same role is redundant, there has to be a need for the weapon.
