Rapora War (OOC Discussion)

[BadSamaritan]

Well, when it comes to anakin, we need to find one of the emperors cloning facilities, and clone about a thousand anakins. Then, the war will be won with ease.

 

And dont worry about Karyn, im not going to hurt her that badly. But what a coincidence, that the two mandalorians gaurding her cell, were relatives of some of the mandalorians that died fighting Malice. And will also be the ones training Karyn.

 

Im a sick twisted little puppet.

[Stellar_Magic]

No, you're just good with Mandalorians.

 

Lets see, Commodore Athien is about to abandon Adumar, the Timeless One is now on the Replicator Malliable World and the GFFA has begun to retreat to Ord Mantell.

 

What's next?

 

The siege and battle of Ord Mantell...

Karyn's Rebirth as a Mandalorian Warrior / Jedi.

Shren's return to the story.

The destruction of Endor. (Thats no big deal except...no more ewoks )

The Jade Scimitar in combat.

[BadSamaritan]

You know, my roomate said that if I were in the star wars universe, I would either be a mandalorian, or a errand boy for a hutt.

 

EDIT: Do the Ewoks have be wiped out? They are such cute little buggers, after all.

[Stellar_Magic]

Technically the destruction of the second Death Star would have all but destroyed Endor's ecology from falling debris. Of course, who said all the ewoks had to be on endor.

[ADarkJedi44]

If all the ecology is destroyed, why are they celebrating on Endor at the end? And what about Yavin?

[Stellar_Magic]

On Yavin the debris was sucked in by the Gas Giant and didn't hit the moon. You should read Star Wars Technical Commentaries, it has a whole section called the Ewok Holocaust.

[ADarkJedi44]

Oh ok. Heh, but what about the end of Episode VI? They are on Endor...

[Stellar_Magic]

Yeah...the night of the battle, it would take weeks before the full effects of the debris would surface.

[ADarkJedi44]

Still, I don't think they'd hang around Endor for so long...

[BadSamaritan]

Actually, if you read the comic book series detailing the resurrected emperors return, you can see ewoks fighting on Coruscant in a few of the panels.

 

Apparently, ewoks became ground troops for the NR....

[Trejiuvanat]

Actually the Alliance cleared most of the falling debris. Or at least that's what the guy that wrote the SWTC wrote in some LFL authorized book.

 

Poor guys...

[BadSamaritan]

Ok, before I post anything, I will need to know a few things.

 

1) What were the aproximate casualties of the Vagaari vessels over Adumar. Just give me a roundabout figure.

 

2) Are the Vagaari stationed on the same world as the Repora? Or do they both have seperate worlds? If so, how many worlds to they both seperatly occupy?

 

3) How poorly have the Vagaari fared in teh previous battles? I know they got wiped out completely at Kuat, but i would like to know how they did at Bastion, Csilla, Fondor, and the like.

 

The reason for this, is because I may have thought of something to help out the war effort in a more significant way than I am right now.

[Stellar_Magic]

1) What were the aproximate casualties of the Vagaari vessels over Adumar. Just give me a roundabout figure.

 

Vagaari Casualties in personnel numbered over twenty thousand, with forty-eight ships destroyed by the GFFA/UDA Task Force and perhaps over a dozen destroyed by Adumar itself.

 

2) Are the Vagaari stationed on the same world as the Repora? Or do they both have seperate worlds? If so, how many worlds to they both seperatly occupy?

 

The Vagaari Federation, did own a number of worlds, but they don't anymore, each one has been conquered and garrisoned by the Rapora. Total worlds originally held by the Vagaari amount to about a sector so 20-30 star systems. The Rapora originally held only a single star system, with eight worlds.

 

3) How poorly have the Vagaari fared in teh previous battles? I know they got wiped out completely at Kuat, but i would like to know how they did at Bastion, Csilla, Fondor, and the like.

 

The Vagaari are basically the Rapora Imperium's cannon fodder. Their performace at each of the major space engagements they've been involved in has been far less then the GFFA and absolutely horrid next to the Rapora.

 

The Vagaari did not participate in a major way at the battles of Bastion or Fondor. At the Battle of Csilla the Vagaari formed the initial wave and suffered almost all of the casualties of the battle.

 

On the ground during the battle of Nirauan the Vagaari faired much better. They managed to overwhelm the defenders with only minor help from the Rapora.

[BadSamaritan]

Ok, so overall, the Vagaari are basicallt he Reporas' connon fodder, and meant to be just thrown away when needed.

 

But by the numbers you gave me, they arent very good to begin with, considering they suffered a loss ratio of almost 6-1 at Adumar. Meaning they are good at being cannon fodder.

 

It makes me wonder what they think of being cannon fodder. Considering that they were conquered by the Repora, and then turned into basically shields for the Repora, I wonder what they think of that.

 

The Vagaari that are in the UDA, are they defectors? Or were they born free? If they are defectors, is it possible that there is a chance that a semi-decent portion of the Vagaari are waiting for a chance to escape the yoke of the Repora?

 

Im asking all these questions for a reason. And if you cant figure out what that is, well....

[Stellar_Magic]

Seryk goes on an Incite Uprising mission

 

Okay, a large proportion of the Vagaari were born free, but by no means were all of them born free... Meaning that about thirty percent of them are defectors. Also, they are a conquered people, conscripted into the Rapora's service. Sure you can have a couple of them defect, and some others try and overthrow Rapora occupation of their world.

 

The Vagaari make better ground troops then space fighters, even so they do have rather ample and good equipment for space combat. The reason they've performed so poorly is that they're hideously low on space combat training. The Rapora don't want them to be good, becuase they'd have to fight them if they were.

 

The upper echelons of the Vagaari support the Rapora (Mostly cause they can't believe they lost as easily as they did to them) and select units are quite loyal, but the average Vagaari Warrior isn't thrilled about being under Raporan command.

 

*Another note, the Vagaari are not alone in being under Raporan occupation, they're just the group with the largest military capacity. Later on you'll meet some of the others, a few of which have technology that nearly surpasses their conquerers.

[BadSamaritan]

From what I have seen so far, an Incite uprising mission does seem to be a viable plan. You make is sound like only the higher ups and a select other few are loyal to the repora, while the majority are basically waiting for a chance to turn on their masters.

 

An no Seryk wouldnt be the one doing that. He is to busy trying to rally the Mandalorians to the fight. That, and I have other plans for him.

 

Hirotek, on the other hand, has a mission he can no longer complete, due to the fact that his fleet is basically going to be in dry dock for quite some time. What better way to augment his fleet than Vagaari cruisers?

 

That, and the Vagaari seem to be a crutch for the Repora. When they dont want to risk losing ships, they use the Vagaari. What better way to beat the Repora, then to kick their crutch out from underneath them?

[BadSamaritan]

Im at ord Mantell? I thought I was at Dresnak?

 

Clones perhaps? Holograms? Or a poster making an honest mistake?

[Trejiuvanat]

I thought you were there... Sorry...

 

Evahe may have asked you to come...

Edited November 18, 2004 by Trejiuvanat

[Stellar_Magic]

Trej, Hirotek and Athien are at Dresnack, and probably won't show up at Ord Mantell. This isn't to say that there won't be a UDA presence (Other then the UDA Taskforce that fought at Bakura.) but that those two characters will be operating to string out the Raporan forces and make it possible for Ord Mantell to hold out longer. In addition they'll probably help run the blockade once the Rapora arrive.

 

Thrawn himself is coming to Ord Mantell.

[Trejiuvanat]

I posted yesternight that I was at Ord Mantell, thought that could be some kind of "protocollary" meeting to discuss tactics. I did want either Ulan or Oreton to be at Ord Mantell.

[BadSamaritan]

So I take it that I am at ord Mantell then?

[Stellar_Magic]

For the moment, but you'll head back to Dresnack and from there start your campaign to drive a wedge between the Vagaari and Rapora.

[BadSamaritan]

So basically I am there just to recieve updates and give moral support? Cool.

 

On my way back, I could pick up a ship or two from Kuat. Or are they all at Ord Mantell?

[Trejiuvanat]

Pick up a few, and remember that on Ord you'll get to meet Athien's dad...

[BadSamaritan]

remember that on Ord you'll get to meet Athien's dad...

 

Why do you think Hirotek is going to be avoiding the main group of people?

 

Edit: I decided to have Athien and her father have a nice little chat about Hirotek for some reason. It had to happen eventually.

 

And yah, I know I havent posted about Seryk in a while. But that is a sub-plot, so I can continue it whenever I want. Which hopefully, will be once i have made a decent descrition of the mandalorain cruiser. My AutoCad wont run, so I wont be able to supply a picture of it.
