Rapora War (OOC Discussion)

[BadSamaritan]

I like the Ravager-class. Its fits its name so well.

 

And by the way, is making a pit stop at Adumar a bad idea? Or is it safe for now?

[Stellar_Magic]

Safe...for now.

[BadSamaritan]

I can see it now....

 

Leaders of Adumar: It was so nice of that admiral to stop by and warn us. Now we can prepare!

 

Several minutes later...

 

Leaders of Adumar: Crap, the repora are here. I wish they would have warned us sooner....

[ADarkJedi44]

Guys, I'm going to be gone for a few days...

[Stellar_Magic]

Dang... Bakura was suppose to be the next major fleet engagement for Evahe. The attacks on Adumar and Bakura will be launch simultaneously but Hirotek will engage the Rapora forces well before they launch their attack on the world. Admiral Evahe needs to go to Bakura to stop the Raporan assault there.

 

The eventual attack on Adumar will be primarily a Vagaari operation, and Adumar will fall because of the sheer size of the strike force which has been well hidden from the UDA and GFFA.

 

Bakura however will be the target of a fleet the size of the one at Fondor. Thats where Evahe and Oreton will be needed.

 

Already the Rapora resources are begining to stretch, hence the attack being lead by Vagaari on Adumar. Hirotek will be able to delay the Raporan forces in the nebulas with the mines he'll steal from the Rapora. In the mean time he'll be able to inflict some pretty heavy casualties on the Vagaari.

[ADarkJedi44]

Oh joyus. I'll go switch it around then, no big deal.

[BadSamaritan]

Im going to steal the Adumarian defences to help harass the Vagaari, and proabably take a swing at the rear flanks of the force attacking Adumar, without getting myself stuck there. If Admiral whats-his-name is still there, it would be a great help.

 

It will suck not beong able to save Adumar though. The GFFA will miss thier factories.

[Stellar_Magic]

I'm thinking that withina month the loss of Adumar will be the least of the GFFA's worries.

[Trejiuvanat]

I'm thinking that withina month the loss of Adumar will be the least of the GFFA's worries.

 

Something to do with Endor? Or an evil-twisted Vong Jedi?

 

It's Endor, right? The Timeless One will do something the GFFA is not prepared for? He will broadcast a whole new season of the all-new"Ewoks" holocartoon???? Along with a movie. "Attack of the big badass killer Ewoks." Starring Wicket and Paploo... ???

A history Admiral Ilos Hirotek, as written by me, out of boredom. Enjoy!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v445/droiger/AdmiralHirotek.jpg

Admiral Ilos Hirotek

 

Born three years before the fatefull battle over Yavin 4, Ilos Hirotek was born on corellia, to the paretns of Hesk and Mayli Hirotek. Unknown to most, the Hirotek family was one of the many Mandalorian familes spread out through the galaxy. Used to keep track of the goings on in the Corellian system, the Hirotek family went about their business as any other family would. His father was a mechanic in the shipyards, and his mother was a respected doctor. Ilos was taught about his family history from a very young age, and his father put him through all the rituals that Mandalorians went through, inluding combat training. But Ilos never took one thing that his father tried to teach him to heart. That he was a mandalorian first, a corellian second.

 

As he grew older, Ilos' father became increasing upset at his sons stubborness to follow the ways of his people. Ilos had a great appreciation for art, and cared for those around him that werent his family. His realationship with his father and mother took a turn for the worse, when his father ordered him to abandon a freind who had run into trouble with a small band of smugglers. Ilos ignored his father, and went to the rescue of his friend. Angered by his sons disobeyment, Hesk killed the friend, and told Ilos that he was to prepare for the final trials of a mandalorian warrior. Ilos refused, and thus began a month long standoff between him and his father. It ended poorly one day, when his father finally lost control, and beat his son severly. After his recovery, Ilos finally agreed to the trials. Amazingly, he passed with flying colors, astounding his father. He recieved his armor, and was given the brand of a warrior. But soon after, Ilos again disobeyed his father, this time attempting to join the CorSec junior academy. But this time, instead of a standoff, Ilos simply left, at the age of 16.

 

After travelling the galaxy for several years, working as hired thug on several worlds, and as a security gaurd on several others, Ilos joined up with the New Republic. He passed all the exams in the academy with astounding speed, surpassing many records that had been set. Soon after he graduated, he was placed aboard the Star Destoyer Rebel Dream. He rose quickly through the ranks, proving his skills on several occasions, including a remarkable talent at second guessing his opponents.

 

Ilos was evenually given command of his own ship, an aging Victory class star destroyer, ironically named Reborn Warrior. It was here that Ilos met Miniya Lir'ka, who would eventually become his second in command. It was also here that Ilos began to start what he called 'the Family', which in all reality included everyone on his ship. He showed a deep caring for all of those under his command, treating erveryone as an equal. In turn, his crew preformed with an amazing effeciency. Ilos' first true tests however, came during the darkest hour the galaxy had ever seen. The Vong invasion.

 

By the time the Vong had arrived, Hirotek had managed to attain the rank of Commander, and his flagship was now an Imp-Star II, the Titan. He also had command of two old assault frigates, and was charged with patrolling a sector of space close to the core. He had managed to keep Lir'ka as his second in command, and several other senior officers had followed him to this ship. Not long aftger the war broke out, however, Hirotek was ordered to take his ship to the front lines. Through a series of engagements, Hirotek displayed a talent for devising tactics that could confound the enemy.

 

Soon, he was placed in command of a much larger force, charged with the protection of a hidden moon base near Akuth VII, directly in the path of the Vong invasion. Realizing he couldnt keep the base hidden forever, and he didn;t have the firepower to repel any major attack, he sent his ships to collect a large number of asteroids, and rigged them all with sonic mines. When the Vong found the base, and staged an attack, he sent the asteroids into the enemy forces, and detonated them, which destroyed a large portion of the enemy force. He then sent in his ships, which finished off the remaining vessels. For his victory, he was given the rank of general, and was placed in command of a task force directly under Admiral Kre'Fey.

 

Hirotek took part in several major engagements leading up to, and participated inthe retaking of Coruscant, and sebsequent defeat of the Vong. He then helped in the hunting down, and destruction, of several groups of Vong warships that refused to surrender. Afterward that, he was snet to Kuat, to supervise the re-construction of the shipyards, and eventually was placed in charge of the defence fleet stationed there. He over saw the development, and construction, and the Ravager-class Star Destroyer, along with several other new ship designs.

 

Several years later, Hirotek was once again but into a no-win situation, where he was faced with defending the shipyards against a superior enemy force. Instead of setting up a pointless defence, Hirotek decided to abandon the system, and move the yards. His fleet was reinforced by the arrival of a UDA force, led by Commodire Athien. Bu she to soon realised that the battle could not be won. Hirotek decided to use the same tactic he had used years before against the Vong, and prepared a large amount of asteroids to bloody the nose of the Reporan forces. he then intended to make one attack at their fleet, hopefully long enough to complete the removal of the remaining yards.

 

Unfortunetly, the arrival of the eclipse class star destoryer Genesis, forced him to change his plans. With the Genesis in trouble, hirotek jumpes his fleet into close combat range of the Repora, and began to pound it out. Through no small bit of luck, and tactical ingenuity, Hirotek and Athien managed to stave off the Reporan fleet, and eventually managed to snatch the GFFAs' first victory against the Repora.

 

Because of this, Hirotek was given teh rank of Admiral, and was orderd to sector 219, to begin hit and fade attacks against the Repora. He is considerd one of the youngest people to have ever acheived the rank of Admiral, having done it by the age of 40.

 

Hirotek is seen as a cautious man, who is unwilling to throw his ships, and thier crews, into a situation where they have little chance of survival. When he is forced to do such a thing, he has a hard time dealing with their loss. He is also known for running ships a bit outside of regulation, allowing gambling and limited drinking. He has a high appreciation of art, but does not have the deep understanding of it which would allow him to use it tactically. But he has a strong gut instinct, and he has been known to follow it. He is well respected throughout the fleet, and has made many freinds in the higher ups of the military. Rumor has it that he and Commodore Athien may be in the beginnings of a relationship, but so far, the Admiral has denied these rumors vehemently.

Darkie, fix your avatar. Good idea BS, I'll incorporate that info into your Characters TC Card.

 

Maybe some of the others here should try the same.

[BadSamaritan]

Writing up Seryks' history is going to be a pain. Its overly complicarted, even for a mandalorian Jedi!

[Stellar_Magic]

Speaking fo which I absolutely love your new signature

[BadSamaritan]

Ok, the history of one Seryk Roygher. This was a pain to figure out, I had to dig up all the past info on him.

 

 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v436/StellarMagic01/Seryk.jpg

Seryk Roygher

 

Seryk Roygher was born just before the battle of Endor, to Tridith Roygher, and another member of the rebellion. It is unknown who his mother was, but it is belived that she was a pilot like his father. He spent the first several years of his life aboard many different vessels, being as his father did not want to just leave him on some world while he was off fighting a war. Because of this, Seryk grew to have a love of not only flying, but combat in general. Realising this, his father soon decided it was time to settle down.

 

Getting a transfer to the newly liberated planet of Chandrilla, Trigith found an elderly man who was willing to begin teaching Seryk different forms of armed, and unarmed combat. He proved to be ab adept pupil, and by the time he was in his teens, he had managed to surpass not only his teacher, but several other combat specialists in tournements. While Seryk concentrated on combat, his father went on to eventually become a wing commander for the New Republic. Seryk looked up to his father, and decided to follow in his footsteps. As soon as he was able, he joined the academy, and soon was a starfighter pilot.

 

Seryk proved to be a remarkable pilot, becoming an Ace on his first mission. he rose quickly to become a squadron commander, and was transferred to Coruscant, where he began to teach at the academy. But less than a year later, the war against the vong broke out, and threw Seryks life into chaos.

 

Seryk was immediatly transferred to the front line, where he was put in command of a squadron of seasoned E-wing pilots. He led them through several missions, and was forced to watch them all fall to Vong starfighters. He then was transferred to a X-wing unt, in which he soon became the sole surviving member. He was then given command of a squadron of A-wings, and finally seemed to have found his fighter. He led them throgh some of the most violent battles against the vong, and soon, his squadron was receiving preaise from some of the highest in the republic military. But soon afterwards, Seryk received news that would change the course of his life. His father had been killed in orbit of a world targetted by the Vong.

 

Seryk soon began to go through a mental breakdown. After a few more weeks, he was removed from command of his squadron, and was sent to Mon Calamari, where he was once again placed in the teachers chair. His methods of teaching became harsh, throwing raw recruits into impossible scenarios. But, the pilots that gaduated from his classes, often became the best pilots in their squadrons. He was once again praised for his efforts, and was moved back to the front lines.

 

Seryk fought at the battle of Mon Calamari, and then he fought at Coruscant, in which he witnessed the final defeat of the vong. After the surrender, he immediatly resigned his commision, and left the navy, vowing never to return. he was approached several weeks later by Talon Karrde, who was looking for good pilots. Seryk eagerly joined him, wanting to get as far away from the navy as he could.

 

Seryk became one of Karrdes most irrational pilots, taking uneeded risks, and getting himself into dangerous situations. karrde became worried, and decided to try and help Seryk as mych as he could. He then learned of the location of a certain ship, one which had belonged to Seryks Uncle, Dally. He managed to have the information fall into Seryks lap, and let Seryk go and retrieve the ship. Upon his Return, Seryk was changed. He was calmer, more collected. Karrde then decided to put Seryk back into a place that he excelled at, teaching other how to fly ships. He gave an importent mission to Seryk and another young smuggler, Burt, which was to go and find the Skywalkers, which had seemed to get themsleves into yet another bad situation.

 

Seryk found the Skywalkers, and barely survived rescuing them. His ship damaged, he decided to head to tattooine for repairs, and to investigate what appeared to be the hom eof his uncle. But upon finding it, he discovered the truth of his past, one that would once again change who Seryk was.

 

Seryk discovered that Dally was not his grandfather, as he had been originally told, but was his Uncle. His real grandfather was a mandaolrian warrior, and his grandmather had been a jedi knight. His uncle had hidden the family past from his father in order to spare them from the wrath of the empire. Seryk donned his grandfathers armor, and then took the lightsaber his grandmother had used, and decided it was tiem to become what he truelly was. A warrior.

 

Seryk has proven his skills on several occasions, most notably on tattooine, where he handed a skilled sith warrior several defeats. he is now travelling with Boba Fett to the hidden cities of the Mandalorians, in an attempt to brong them into the war with the Repora. He has alos met up with Karyn Kann, who was the daughter of a jedi who supported the marriage of his grandfather and grandmother.

 

Seryk is a calm, collected person, who is slow to judgment, but quick to action. His skills in comabt have earned him the repect of Fett, but his anger is quick to boil, and he has touched the dark side on several occasions. It is yet to be seen if Seryk will ba able to withstand the temptations of the dark side for long.

...He is considerd one of the youngest people to have ever acheived the rank of Admiral, having done it by the age of 40.

 

Oreton is 38 and is a Grand Admiral. I'll write a bit about him. And do a picture of him.

[ADarkJedi44]

I get back and now I have to do a bio and fix my avvie? Heh, I'll try to do it later...

 

What's up with the Timeless One by the way? Fury's commanding the Bakura fleet, right? So what's he doing?

[Stellar_Magic]

There are three seperate fleets from the Rapora about to engage the GFFA and UDA over Bakura. Fury has command of one of them, and the Timeless One is in overall command.

[ADarkJedi44]

Humans can use the Raporan fighters right? The Dark Jedi do use them after all...

[Stellar_Magic]

Yes they can, but its uncomfortable due to the way the seats are designed.

[Stellar_Magic]

Commodore Hraw'athie'nuruodo

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v436/StellarMagic01/Athien2.jpg

 

If you told an average chiss that he or she was a stuck up aloof person that had no right to believe they were superior, the Chiss would look at you as if you just invaded your home naked. If you said the same thing to Commodore Hraw’athie’nuruodo she would tell you that you’re talking to the wrong person. The difference in her nature is so shocking that if you spoke with her across the comm link you would have sworn she was human, but she is plainly chiss and is a major player on the galactic stage.

 

Born just over two years after the battle of Yavin IV, Hraw’athie’nuruodo was instantly the pride of her father, then Fleet Admiral Mit’hraw’nuruodo, would become one of the legends of the Rapora War. Within months of her birth she was whisked away into the unknown regions along with her father. As she grew up her father built a pair of empires to check the advancing Rapora threat, only one would survive. Shortly after reaching adolescence, Hraw’athie’nuruodo, who fashioned herself Athien, was personally schooled by her father in leadership and strategy.

 

There was a great amount of love between daughter and father to Mit’hraw’nuruodo, know more often as Thrawn, his daughter was every bit as talented as he was, and without the stiff indoctrination of chiss society she became a very independent and free thinker. She never felt confined, as her father did, to the strict warrior’s code of her parental culture and never would.

 

Then six years after the Emperor’s death Athien lost her father to a traitor, but in truth she knew as many of the followers of Thrawn that he had planned for such a contingency. He’d hidden two cloning cylinders, one beneath the fortress of Nirauan and one at the headquarters of the United Defense Alliance. Athien knew of the cylinder’s existence set out to find and guard it before grief from his loss brought her to the edge of despair.

 

During this time Athien discovered something even more stunning, that she herself was force sensitive. She’d known from her father that their family had such a history, but Thrawn had never been gifted with such a power. He instead was forced to rely on his mental faculties. After the discovery she hunted down a retired Ascendancy Academy teacher who had taught his students to use the force. Bringing him out of retirement Athien convinced him to teach her and several other force sensitive personnel how to use their native abilities. Afterward she mastered a unique form of force coordination that had thought lost with the Jedi of old, Battle Meditation.

 

Then two years after her father’s supposed death she came face to face for the first time with what her father had always warned her of, the Rapora. A team of four of the reptilian force users snuck deep inside the United Defense Alliance command center and attempted to destroy the Spaarti Cylinder located there. Athien found herself engaged in combat with a band of fully trained force users, and almost no one would expect her to emerge victorious.

 

But fortunately for her only three of the warriors were dedicated to the mission the fourth was a warrior named Veran. He’d known met Thrawn before and had a personal craving for freedom that could not be satisfied. In the heat of the moment he turned on his comrades and with Athien’s help thwarted their attack. The two became close friends and Veran became chief of security for Thrawn.

 

Soon after her father’s return the UDA faced their first major military challenge, the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Athien was given a commission as a Colonel and command of a squadron of Clawcraft. After a successful hit and run on a Vong task force that utterly destroyed a pair of Mataloks without losses she was promoted to General.

 

After the Vong invasion the United Defense Alliance geared up for a full scale war with the Rapora. Athien was placed in command of a massive research project into creating weaponry and technologies to counter the Rapora. Her team quickly began making astounding advances. On Athien’s own initiative she led the design team to the creation of the shield modulation sensor, with it their ships would be able to detect the shield modulation of their foe and fire through their shields completely without effect. With those results Thrawn promoted her to the rank of Commodore, a rank second only to supreme commander in the UDA.

 

Then the Rapora War became a reality. After a massive pair of assaults on the worlds of Bilbringi and Csilla Commodore Athien lead a group of foreigners to her father, bringing the United Defense Alliance into league with the GFFA and Empire. Soon thereafter she participated in the battle of Bastion and helped save a large portion of the Imperial Fleet from utter destruction.

 

A few weeks later Athien met Admiral Hirotek of the Fondor Defense fleet. Together they utterly defeated a Rapora attempt to take the world, and forged an alliance of strategic and tactical brilliance. The possibility of this alliance broadening into a romantic relationship between the two cannot be ruled out, but if so, both parties have attempted to quiet such rumors.

[ADarkJedi44]

I'm sure that won't be a problem...

But anyways...

[BadSamaritan]

Ok, It was General Hirotek of the Kuat defence fleet. He got upped to Admiral for his victory, and so they could give him command of his new task force, i would assume.

[Stellar_Magic]

I posted this in the RDB II Forum as well but, I thought some of you might want a look see...
