by all means, congratulations on the custom title

by all means, congratulations on the custom title

Thanks. I've been waiting to get a custom title for awhile now. Just glad to have it.


And about the new character, what I have so far is that he is a general in the Republic Space Navy, in command of the 5th Fleet stationed out of Eriadu to patrol and oversee Oversector Outer. The heart of the 5th Fleet (and the flagship) is the Super Star Destroyer II Skywalker, named in honor of Luke Skywalker, hero of the Rebel Alliance.

I hope none of this is over the top. Your thoughts?

 

[rengadeirishman]

no, sounds good.

 

[Jedi_Khan]

Hey, Ren, just how big will you allow the 5th Fleet to be? Because I'm thinking of a number, but it just might be unreasonable.

 

[rengadeirishman]

good sized, theyll need the help, the dakari are not to be trifled with.

 

[Jedi_Khan]

Hmmm...what would you consider to be "good sized?" I'm thinking 500 ships, split up into 5 divisions of 100 ships each, which is further broken down into battle groups of 50 each. Keep in mind, the 5th fleet has a massive chunk of space to look after. According to my research, Oversector Outer contains most of the sectors and regions of the Outer Rim, including the Seswenna Sector and the Velcar Free Commerce Zone. Here's the link to my source: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Oversector_Outer

I'm just starting to think that the entire Oversector Outer is too big for the 5th Fleet. Digging a little deeper, I came across something that said that one of the systems in the Velcar Free Commerce Zone was in Imperial Space, on the other side of the galaxy from Eriadu. So now, I'm considering giving the 5th Fleet the task of protecting a region of space ranging from Sullust to Geonosis.

 

[rengadeirishman]

hmmm, 500 sounds like alot, but that is a big piece of space. Ill allow it, the Dakari are tough.

 

[AmenRa]

"But what of the reports of the Rebel fleet massing near Sullust?"

Sorry, I read Khan's post about the 5th Fleet protecting Sullust, and that quote by Darth Vader from Episode VI just kinda came out.

I do that sometimes. Quote Star Wars, I mean. Am I the only one?

 

[rengadeirishman]

not at all.

Nope, you're are definitely not the only one. One I use a lot is Jar-Jar saying "How rude."

 

[Jedi_Khan]

hmmm, 500 sounds like alot, but that is a big piece of space. Ill allow it, the Dakari are tough.

Yeah, I kinda thought 500 was alot as well, but then I figured that it was a very big piece of space. Plus, part of my plan is to have half the ships out on patrol at any given time, a quarter stationed at vital planets, and the final quarter held in reserve. So that's 250 ships on random patrols, 125 stationed around the area, and another 125 in reserve.

As for the Dakari, we'll see how tough they are once they come face to face with an Executor II-class Super Star Destroyer. I'll put up the details with the bio for the second character.

 

[rengadeirishman]

sounds fine to me.

and dont put so much faith in that technological terror your ride in. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant compared to the power of the force.

Yeah, yeah. I've heard it all before. But this ship ain't designed to destroy a planet, just ships. Wait till you see it. I'm almost done describing it.

 

[WinterFrost]

An Imperial II Star Destroyer has enough fire power to destroy an entire planets resources, so I don't see why an "Executor II" couldn't do the same.

((Sorry, I was overcome by a moment of nerd-dom while reading this thread. ^_^ ))

Sure, an Executor II could do some heavy damage to a planet (especially with the weapons it's got ), but it doesn't need to. Besides, it's not the Empire operating this thing, it's the Republic. Planetary bombardments aren't used unless in extreme circumstances.

Oh, by the way, WinterFrost, why don't you join us? I do believe that the Star Wars thread you created kinda went south.

Genera Whilhuff Koto, the 5th Fleet, and the Skywalker

As promised, here's the info. Feast your eyes on this:

Name: Whilhuff Koto
Rank: General
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Homeworld: Naboo
Hair: Salt & Pepper, cut short
Age: 65
Eyes: Brown
Affiliation: Republic Space Navy, 5th Fleet

General Whilhuff Koto is an older man who has been with the military since he was old enough to enlist. He hasn’t seen any major battles, just a few planetary squabbles that refused to settle down despite the presence of several large Republic warships. General Koto’s flagship, the Skywalker, hasn’t seen any action, however, since it has only just come out of the shipyards (more details below).

Despite General Koto’s lack of major battle action, he is considered a tactical genius, placed among the ranks of General Wedge Antilles (famous for the Battle of Borelias during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion). He is currently 4 for 5 in the regular war games the Republic military holds once a decade; the last war game ended in a stalemate.

General Koto is an easy going man, taking to the arts and preferring to avoid fighting like most of the people of Naboo. But he is a juggernaut when it does come down to a fight. His men respect him both as a fellow soldier and as a commanding officer. They are unwaveringly loyal to him and will follow his every command without question.

The 5th Fleet:
Number of Ships: 500 (not including support craft, both combat and non-combat)
Types of Ships: Varies from large battleships to small corvettes
Main Station: Eriadu
Secondary Stations: Sullust, Malastare, Naboo, Utapau

The 5th Fleet is not the largest of the fleets, but it does have the dubious honor of being envied by all the other fleets, for more than one reason. First, General Whilhoff Koto is in command, and he’s virtually unbeaten. The second reason is because of the recent assignment of the newest ship in the Republic military to the 5th: the Skywalker.

The 5th Fleet is spread out across its operational area, with 250 ships out on random patrols at any given time, 125 ships (total) stationed at Eriadu, Sullust, Malastare, Naboo, and Utapau, and another 125 ships held in reserve, along with the Skywalker (standing orders from the top brass that the Skywalker not be used unless in dire circumstances). Where these ships are being held in reserve is unknown at the current time, as they are not at any planet within the operations area.

The 5Th Fleet is divided into 5 divisions of 100 ships each, which are further broken into battle groups of 50 ships each.

The Skywalker
Class: Executor II-class Super Star Destroyer
Length: 21 km
Weapons: 6,000 turbolasers and ion cannons; numerous anti-fighter weapons; 2 massive double-barreled turbolasers

While almost identical to the first Super Star Destroyer ever built, the Executor, the Skywalker is fundamentally different enough to warrant its own class. It is a full 2 km longer than the first Super Star Destroyer and boasts more weapons and better shielding. The weapons have been setup so that the odds of a snubfighter getting through are worse than trying to successfully navigate an asteroid field (approximately 3,720 to 1). The designers of the Skywalker took a page out of the design of the old Mon Cal MC80 cruisers, using overlapping shields, so that if one goes out, the area it protected would not be left vulnerable. The shield generators have also been moved inside the ship, to make it all the more difficult to take out the shields.

Another key change, and perhaps the most obvious, is the addition of two massive double-barreled turbolasers. They are essentially artillery pieces on steroids. While their rate of fire is slow, they pack a wallop. They typically fire in a one-two pattern, with the first shot being able to easily shatter the shields of any modern warship and the second shot turning the now shield-less ship into molten slag. Both guns are setup in turrets set on either side of the ship, each turret having two barrels wide enough to park an AT-TE in. Both turrets operate independent of each other and have their own power generators, separate from the main ship generator (the power drain would be too much on the main generator to run all the other systems).

Advances in sublight and hyperdrive technology have allowed this ship to be equipped with a Class 1 hyperdrive (with a backup Class 5) and sublight engines that could accelerate the ship with a max of 2000 Gs and have a cruising speed of 60 MGLT (T-65 X-wings had top sublight speeds of 100 MGLT per hour)*.

The current whereabouts of the Skywalker and the other 125 ships of the 5th Fleet that are held in reserve are unknown except to certain members of the 5th Fleet and Republic military command.

Well, what do you think?

 

[WinterFrost]

Oh, by the way, WinterFrost, why don't you join us? I do believe that the Star Wars thread you created kinda went south.

I just might, depending on how many of my threads over at SRP stay active. If I do join though, I don't think my main character will be a Jedi or a Sith, as you might expect to fill your average Star Wars RPG. I was thinking more along the lines of a Sharpshooter + Scout type character. But then again, she might just get pwnt by all the Force wielders, so I dunno. x.x

How about an officer under General Whilhuff Koto?

 

[WinterFrost]

Maybe...but I wanted a character that would be kinda be in the heat of things, yet also a safe distance away from things, thus the sniper idea. An officer on a ship seems kind of...sheltered.

 

[rengadeirishman]

sounds alright khan. and winterfrost, if you would like to join us, we'd be more then happy to have you.

Sheltered? Did you say that being an officer on a ship seems "sheltered"? I can't believe it. When you're on a star ship in the middle of a battle, you won't be thinking that you're sheltered, especially when your ship is getting battered. And if you don't want to be an officer on a ship, maybe a starfighter pilot will do.

Or you could consider something that will put you in line to meet Aagh Koth. What exactly you could be, I'm not sure.

 

[Jedi_Khan]

sounds alright khan.

Alright? Wow. Wasn't expecting that kinda response. I was expecting something along the lines of "Could ya pull it back a little? That Super Star Destroyer is just a little much." If you let me get away with what I put up, I wonder what else I could have put on before you said no...*taps his finger on his chin; thinks* Maybe a highly advanced cloaking field, or maybe shields that could withstand an attack equal to twenty Imperial Star Destroyers consentrating their fire on a single target. Hmmm...

*Shakes his head* Bah! I won't push it (not yet, at least). I'm happy with the "Alright," just had to take a little time to get over the surprise.

 

[AmenRa]

"Impressive. Most impressive".

well i figure theres only the one, and the dakari are really tough. and they arent from the star wars galaxy.

told you not put too much faith in your technological terror.


i did mention that dakari warriors use the force right?

 

[Jedi_Khan]

Hey, Ren, I have some questions before I put up the first post for General Koto. Just what exactly happened to Tatooine? Were only the Tuskens killed, or was the entire population of 80,000 wiped out? What would someone find there if they showed up afterwards?
