Defiance Armada: Battle of Sarapin OOC

[Phoenix]

First off, I would like to give everyone in this thread a big thank you! This OoC was a prime example of teamwork, playing fairly, and overall just having a good time in the story! Its teamwork like this that FL and Admins look at when you pursue higher ranks or shooting for leadership positions on the site. Again, awesome job!

So, ruling:

There was a lot that was happening in here, but I think I got a good general understanding of what was happening between players. In the future, lets try to have a base layout in the opening posts, that way everyone knows where everything is, thank you to Galad for not letting the story get too far without describing the base layout. Making sure to describe this detail at the begin helps prevent other members from positioning your characters without your consent, it helps put everyone on the same page as to where everything is placed in the scene.

Given the structure is on a volcanic planet, its safe to assume that most aerial attacks were warded off by shields, since this building would need to be fairly protected from lava. Though with the amount of internal explosions everyone was setting off, there is definitely enough damage done inside the building that would cause the place to shut down, therefore allowing the shields to shut down too, which in turn allows for a decent amount of damage from the aerial attacks. Due to how lightly guarded Sarapin was, the Rebels would hold the upper hand and Sarapin has taken a significant amount of damage.

However, due to the importance of the world, the Imperium has frequent transports that come in and out of the system in order to supply the core worlds. The Imperium will be alerted to the Rebellion's presence within the hour, if not sooner.

As for the characters, Sara Rain was wounded by Tal Veran and taken captive. Galad was also overwhelmed by numbers and taken captive also by the Rebels. Please work together to discuss how you guys want to proceed with story with your characters.


Let me know if there are any questions!

Thanks to everyone involved in the thread, and thanks to GABA for taking the time to make a ruling!

@Green Ranger
A ship would enter and detect, I would give a maximum of 4 hours that the rest of the Imperium would learn of the Rebellions presence due to routine check-ins via radio/hypertransmissions acting funky.

 

[Green Ranger]

Okay, that works. I'll have a chat to Weiss and we'll go from there, but thanks for clarifying.

While the outcome may not have been what I hoped for, I still had a blast taking part in this battle! Thanks to all the players and administration involved for making my first PvP battle on the site one to remember!

Because I am still relatively new to the site, I do have some questions going forward. First of all, how critical would Sara's wound be? Is she in danger of dying, or will she be fine again in a couple of weeks?

@Green Ranger what would the Defiance Armada do with a captured Sith Acolyte. Would she be sent to a Rebel prison planet or space station? Would she be handed over to the Jedi? I do not need too many details, just enough to direct me in the right direction for the next chapter of Sara's story.

Thanks! :)

They'd probably be stripped of all belongings and detained on the brig of one of the star destroyers or cruisers in the armada. If you guys want to discuss escape attempts or story ideas, feel free to shoot me a PM.

Let me know if there are any questions!

So, I respect the conclusion you have come to, but there are a few questions bothering me right now. Firstly, how exactly is Galad overwhelmed? Two sides were evenly matched in numbers with myself and Korvo having a 1v1 elsewhere, so the rest of the fighting was under command by neither of us. Did the stormtroopers get defeated on their own, since neither they nor the Rebels were being actively commanded. And how did our duel end? Galad had the upper end in the final post, but what happened from there on, is a mystery, we haven't been told anything.

Now, I'm not asking these to question the ruling, but to continue on with the story of the character; I'll have to know what exactly happened, I'm sure you will agree. Since Galad will be recalling the events that took place some time in the future and/or there may be flashbacks. So if these could be answered I would be really happy.

By the way, there wasn't anything mentioned about powers shutting down. Generators were inside and the AA fire dispatched the bombardments entirely after a short while, I wouldn't guess there would be any problems about that. Just got me confused so I would like to point it out. Once again, I'm fine with the ruling and have nothing against it. Thanks for your time!

Sarapin wasn't heavily armed, so there are definitely not going to be as many troops as you would like there to be. As for what happened between your character and Korvo, the details of the duel would need to be worked out between you two. Though ultimately with the base succumbing to the Defiance Armada, Galad and Korvo will eventually find themselves surrounded by Rebels, meaning the stormtroopers either surrendered or were captured.

As for your concern about the power shutting down that was concluded in my ruling, given the amount of explosions everyone's character was mentioning, there was going to have to be some consequences to it.
