The Final Fight

[Berndebrox]

I'll offer up Gûry for whatever purposes you need him for. He don't really own anything.

 

[Great Jamie]

Bretharr’s interested in the ground operation. Don’t really want to face the entire Imp Navy lol

 

[Wit]

IMO Jedi efforts will be better spent helping evacuate people or setting up resistance cells instead of a sure fire suicide run. Don't expect the Jedi fleet to show up.

 

[Yuan]

Well, then at least it won't take long, lol. What's the point in saving them though? Don't you want to get some use out of those ships y'all earned before they disappear?

 

[Wit]

From an OOC point of view sure it would be cool to have one last battle. But it will be a loss, and a bad one at that. So from an IC pojt of view I don't see how the Jedi would justify throwing away the lives of everyone in their fleet. They would better serve the Force by dispersing and continuing to oppose the sith and hurt them in meaningful ways.

 

[Loco]

Yeah, that's pretty meta. Like Wit said, it makes much more sense IC to use them for something more meaningful in the long run. That said, we may have one good strike coming up- a sort of delaying action- but it's not going to be a straight up suicide run straight at an Imperial fleet like this, and we certainly can't afford to just stand ground and get bombarded to death.

 

[Great Jamie]

I mean, an attack in space is suicidal. But if we entrench, dig in well, and properly unite, we might, and it is a very distant might, delay the Sith advance. Victory probably isn't a realistic scenario, but bleeding them dry Verdun style seems more realistic.

 

[Yuan]

Well yeah, that's certainly a fair point. Especially for the Jedi who value peace and the well-being of others above all else, I agree they probably wouldn't support a move like this. But, then there are also Jedi who view themselves as defenders of Justice and the last line of defense against the darkness who would probably go for a move like this. It's totally up to each RPer how they would play their character. I have nothing but respect for any RPer who's not willing to compromise their character's personality and motivation for OOC purposes. ;)

We may not get the whole Jedi order behind this. I figured that from the start.

Delay a Sith advance where?

Well that's a very good point. I had kinda figured we would just gather whatever resources we could and try and last as long as we can. But we could, instead, try and make a strike against the empire. They've got a lot of property we could target. My only hesitation there is that we would need to do an espionage plot to start the attack. But with our numbers we could probably get that done pretty quickly.

What does everyone else think?

Just in general.

An attack wouldn’t go well at all. The Imperials are far too strong to even consider an attack. Defence really is the only option

 

[Dread]

Just in general.

What do you mean? Like everywhere in general? You can't do that. You have to take how many PCs/NPCs/Ships you have into account to see if you could feasibility defend even one planet from Sith advancement.

So far this plot has 5~(?) PCs and their personal ships signed up. None of them have anything more than that built up/to use. If they decide to do anything crazy they'll most certainly perish. Unless you guys can put together some CPVP instead.

Well not as in everywhere at once. But inflicting enough casualties will force them to stop, lick their wounds and replenish their forces. I doubt charging into battle with battalions 10% in strength would end well against pretty much everyone but incredibly weak, disorganised and poor led troops.

Thumbs up for positivity Jamie!

But yeah... Best not to have any misconceptions about it. This is most certainly a suicide run. But hey! When the empire rolls in and the fight-or-flight instinct kicks in, some of our characters want to fight. And maybe. Just maybe. Our actions could serve as inspiration for the upcoming rebellion faction! ;)

Remember the Alamo!

I really shouldn’t be so pessimistic. I’m sure we’ll achieve a glorious victory unseen before, remembered as legend for 1000 millenia! :)

No other reason for a Valengard to exist anyways.

300 references anyone?

[Great Jamie]

Anyways @Yuan when you’ve got the idea for a plot, be sure to tell us all!

 

[Yuan]

Well we can go ahead and get started on some stuff. Might as well not waste time. Can't start on base defense yet cause we don't know where we will be defending, but:

Looking for volunteers to pick up some Corellian Armed Freighters. The more participants, the shorter the plot will be.
