Barkoa

OOC: It stands for Out Of Character. It's when you want to say something that's not in the story. Please make sure you read the story so far and give me us a quick idea of the type of character you'll be playing! Thanx for joining The Vathinor Crisis! IC: Barkoa suddenly heard the other battery stop, and also the fire from the attacker ship. What did it mean? Mirkon ran in, "Rantar's just left in one of the escape pods! What are we going to do? Do we go for him, or do we get home where we're needed?" Barkoa thought deeply. THis was a tricky one. All paths seemed obscured. "I feel it is our responsibility to keep him safe. Mouvia will have to wait. Try to get some kind of tracking signal on that ship." This was a decision he hoped he wouldn't regret.

Leiutenant Naruk walked to the bridge of his small cruiser. He had been with the Kestron Army for the last 5 years and had been promoted rather quickly. At least he had his own ship, even if it was only a 10 member crew. It was like a large fighter, almost. At least it had been an easy job so far, but he longed for some action. They were currently patroling one of the mining camps on a planet they'd recently acquired. He wasn't sure how without much of a fight, but it wasn't his job to ask questions. He wanted to just lay low until he was high enough to know things. "Okay, it looks good here. Take us to the processing plant."

By the sounds of this mod, I might just have to dig out my copy of generals and give it a shot!

Smooth Vero, v smooth! I played with a friend and he had a few levels where you had a flag, and a unit (type of your choice) would appear there every few seconds (longer for better units). Does anyone know where I can find such levels? I tried making my own, no success!

That's cool. This may not be the right forum, but do you need to be at that level to be a jedi in the RPG on this site? I'm currently playing one and got the impression that was okay. Also, when you edit a post, does that increase your rank?

Thanx Canno!

Monkey see, monkey do.

I would love to see anywhere in Europe, but I think I'd rather see Normandy than Switzerland. It would kinda cool to walk on those beaches nad over those hills near there!

They also have Mordheim, a game all about small squads of troops doing things, but the coolest part about that is experience. They gain experience, search for better weapons and earn money doing jobs. That would make ACE SW material! Imagine you as a jedi, learning new powers, and fighting all sorts of creatures! I'm gonna start making rules for something like that soon, using Mordheim as an inspiration! Any ideas would be appreciated, and please express any interests here!

What I'm thinking would be the coolest part about them would be wicked-huge vehicles! Imagine ATT's, AT-AT's etc! They could make models for small skirmishes, but also make something like that miniature warhammer game where you have a lot smaller models, and its all about squads and vehicles. That way you could have all of the bigger stuff and have huge sprawling armies!

Battlefront, I'm hoping is going to be the best SW game ever! It should be really cool! Has anyone heard of Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth? It looks so awesome, and I would love them to make a strategy game with that same sort of feel, ya know, units with emotions etc. Imperium Galactica is a cool game too. I would love an SW version of that!

I too just watched it recently and I'm not sure. Yeah he snuck past and all that, but Anakin is gonna pull out some sweet stuff I'm sure! I think his anger will allow him to beaat Grievous, or! AHA! maybe the controller of Greivous (possibly Sidious) will allow him to be killed because he wants Ankain to turn to the dark side!? I'm not sure but it leaves a wicked storyline for Ep III

The droid flew out of the window. Barkoa quickly jumped after it. He didn't want to lose track of it. As it fell, it rolled into a ball, and rolling and bouncing, made its way down the side of the structure. Barkoa followed quickly, Kyp not too far behind. Before they could reach the ground, two concussion missiles were heading toward them. Barkoa was going to send them back with a push, but Kyp sensed this and yelled. "No! It's too dangerous!" and he force-pushed them outward from themselves. The missiles continued to soar through the sky and exploded far away. Even at that distance the blast could be felt. Two more were coming. Barkoa now knew what to do, so he and Kyp worked together, sending the missiles away. More came. It wouldn't be long before the droid was out. When it did finally run out, Barkoa prepared for close combat, but Kyp stopped him. "There's a starship approaching." He sent a quick message to it, informing them of the menace below and that it was out of missiles. A few seconds later, a ship appeared.

Mirkon struggled to keep the ship going where he wanted. The blast were getting more frequent. He wished the jedi would hurry up and get the ship off their tail. All he need was two minutes to let the navcomputer calculate what was need and they would speed off into hyperspace, making it impossible for the assailant to follow. Evasive manouvers were useless to try with the ship. It was too bulky and built to go long distances, not to dodge laser fire. His scanners picked up two objects approaching quickly. Torpedoes. This wasn't good. "We got two bogies, comin in fast!" he yelled over the comlink to the others. I'm gonna need a holiday after this! he thought.

"Well, I just wanted to relax after my rough day yesterday, and I guess I also wanted to look around. Being a jedi, I'm definitely going to be out on missions and I'm not sure when/if I'll be back. I may never return, you never know what could happen... Sounds too depressive." She said, but inside she knew it would be a while after she got wrapped up in something. Finishing her drink, she thought about leaving, but she was having a nice time talking. "What's your name?"

Both Barkoa and Kip had sabers in hand and were ready for action. Barkoa's double-bladed blue sabers filled the hall with a blue glow, contrasted with the green of Master Durron's. A Droideka with a concussion missile launcher?!!? This is gonna be interesting. He thought. The blast radius of a concussion missile was huge, and they couldn't afford letting the droid launch any. They also couldn't let it stay alive. They had to lure it outside. Barkoa sent Kyp a quick message using the force. He knodded in approval, and gave a knowing smile. He too knew the difficulty relating to the missiles. Barkoa was the first to move towards one of the pyramid's open windows. The droid moved forward, following the bait. Kyp knew what Barkoa was planning. When the droid was close enough Kyp force-jumped over it. Barkoa then force-jumped straight up, and Kyp unleashed his most powerful force-push, sending the droid flying outside. Barkoa was the first to follow it out. OOC: I'll finish in a bit.

They weren't going to last long at this rate. Barkoa swivelled the gun around and unleashed a volley of heavy fire. This ship was too fast and too maneouverable. The pilot didn't even seem to know exactly what they were going to do next, so it was impossible for Barkoa to shoot pre-emptively. A few shots hit their mark, but didn't do much. "Afton! How're we going with that hyperdrive??"

"yah," said Nuri, "well, at least I am as of yesterday!" She couldn't help smiling again, she was just so excited. "So do you own this bar? I've been in town often and I've never seen this. Did I just miss it or is it new?"

I need to try these mods first. But before that I need BF 1942, and before that I need a better computer, so it'll be a while before i can properly vote on this forum!!!

Barkoa looked at one of the monitors. "Now we're under attack!! " A lucky shot hit the hyperdrive, temporarily disabling it. A lone fighter zipped around the cruiser, pelting it with blaster fire. Barkoa ran to one of the ship's side guns, calling for Rantar to take the other, and for Afton to get the hyperdrive back in working condition. Barkoa's partner ran to the bridge to help Mirkon.

Mirkon ran to the bridge. Each blast either sent his to the floor of the ship, or got close. He made it to the bridge. Barkoa was steering, and not doing too well either. Another blast sent him to the floor. Getting up he jumped into the second chair. Barkoa seemed relieved to be rid of the controls. The next 10 minutes were intense, and beads of sweat formed on Mirkon's forehead as he skillfully made his way through the field. They were now free to continue. A few minutes of smooth flying passed and Mirkon was about to set it in hyperspace when another blast rocked the ship. "What the...?"

OOC: Tan, is cool if you attack! Just can't kill us! : ) IC:The ship rocked violently. Barkoa had been looking at the repairs Afton had done when the first blow was struck. It knock most of the larger pieces off the table, making a loud clatter. Barkoa ran to the cockpit, but Mirkon wasn't there! Grabbing the control he pushed a few buttons. He'd only flown on of these a few times and it was heaps different to his private ship. He increased the shields to all areas and took it off autopilot and out of hyperspace. They had entered a smallish asteroid field that mustn't have been on the charts. Small to medium-sized chunks were colliding into the sides of the ship. The shield was starting to fail. He tried steering, but only succeeded in avoiding a few of the rocks. Mirkon finally ran in, another jolt sending him to the floor...

Nuri was a short, brunette, human that could only be described as petit but feisty. She was a tough fighter and an outgoing, funloving person. She was born of Phalax, and had been trained in the ways of the jedi for all her life, and she topped her class that year. She was 16, and had finished the final jedi trials over and exhausting 7 hours the previous day. Today she was just relaxing and taking it easy. Soon it would be her turn to go out on the field and go on missions to distant system to see strange new things. She'd never left Phalax, and had only been to the surface a few times. She strolled along the town that was nearest to the academy. She left her speeder in the outskirts of town and was going to take the day off. Stepping into a small bar, she sat down. The bartender came up to her. She seemed nice. "I'll just have a Marnok Mixer, thanks." She smiled. It was a good day for her. OOC: Just thought I'd give u something to do Ulic! and she'll be a more major character later!

No way!! You know warhammer and 40K? they cost like $5 AUS per basic guy, even if they suck! then lord of the rings released theirs, and they were abotu $1 per guy!! the sw ones could easily be made that cheaply. I am going to write to citadel soon, and then to lucasarts.

Nice gif! Thanx Texas Fett, it actually sound v cool! I'm really pro-American enought to get offended!
