Invasion of Ando Prime OOC

[Santoro]

I haven't read every post in this thread, so don't bite my head off if this was answered somewhere else, but I thought we had agreeg the hutts were going to wait a reasonable amount of time before launching reinforcements.

The battle is barely ten minutes old, and at the rate we are going, by tomorrow we will be lucky if we have reached the half-hour mark.

At this point I don't even care. Santoro, just attack me and get on with it.

Due to lack of activity from Bogan, I went and sent out a few NPCs to go after the Jedi. They're acolytes so they shouldn't prove to be a problem, especially to Jedi Masters. If anyone has a complaint and wants it removed, let me know and I'll take it out.

 

[Raif]

Well that is completely and totally lame.

 

[Jake]

It's not as lame as waiting a month to join because you're arbitrarily deciding how much time has passed.

Nothing's going to happen until the Hutts join in and the battle starts, so... ;[

 

[Raif]

Yeah, maybe nothing will happen in space, but this was intended to focus more on the ground battle I thought. Although not much is happening there either...

 

[Jake]

The Hutts probably aren't going to interfere with the ground battle, I imagine. Though I wouldn't mind putting Haveti down there...

 

[Raif]

On a different note, can anyone give me an idea of what I would be looking at since my character is currently standing in front of the Bogan Temple? Is it like a count dracula castle or is it built into a cliff face or what?

 

[Empress]

I've never seen anything uber descriptive, but I would assume " or personally envision" it being carved into the ice wall of a glacier ( remember ando prime is a frozen ice ball)

 

[Zach]

I would assume it was built separately, on its own, but over time ice and landforms would build up around it, so it's safe to assume it' in the side of a glacier or mountain.

Well that'd be silly to be honest, as a glacier's a big slab of moving ice - not much stuctural integrity going on there.

We used an image ages ago of the entrance to the temple being little more than a triangular gash in the side of a rock wall with a path of steps leading up to it. It was located in the base of a canyon - presumably to provide some shelter against the elements and less violent windcurrents to make it easier for ships to land etc.

Also keep in mind the Ando Prime facility hasn't been around all that long and they were in hiding so they wouldn't want to make it obvious they were there, hence building into the rock.

Both you and Adena are right. Adena would just me more right if she swapped out "glacier" for "mountain." I've always envisioned it as being in a mountain with, as you said, the entrance being in the side of it. I also established that there's a big balcony at the front of it, so you could sort of picture it like the Sith Acadmy from KOTOR.

Picture it like this: http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/0/0d/Sith_Academy_Entrance.JPG with a grand balcony for the Bogan to speak to his followers from right there on the top.

It was built less than 15 years ago, so that wouldn't really be enough time for anything to really grow around it.

The temple is established as being in the Andobi Mountains, built atop the ruins of a temple that had been operated by the Dai Bendu monks who were living there. The Bogan came to Ando Prime, wiped them out, razed their temple, and then built their own temple atop of that, so it could be assumed that the Bogan built inward into the mountain too.

I always imagined it to be more of a Gothic design, though still built into a mountain. Large, tall, wooden gates opening to a frozen tundra courtyard, if it could be called that. Several of the rooms having windows that peered out over the edge of the cliff onto a steep drop to the icy plains below. Though with what Bac and company said, something like this seems closer to what it actually is. Though that's just my interpretation.

That image is a really good depiction. Nice find.

Ok... I'm gonna go ahead and start the orbital thread.
