So, I have a smuggler character (The pretty guy down below, with the name in brown). But a smuggler isn't really such unless he's smuggling something, and while the one thread I've got him in at the time of this posting has him transporting a would-be-padawan, I have grander plans for him.


I want to help make a ship.


Not build an existing ship, nor work up a design for one out-of-character and deploy it. My plan for Gerart is that he is secretly transporting, piece by piece, components that will eventually be assembled into an entirely new type of starfighter. However, for this plan to work properly, I'd need a few things.

Firstly, an organization or aspect of the Rebel Alliance to be funding the whole endeavor. He's doing this for the Rebellion specifically, so the credits need to come from them or a group that is a front for them. This also lets me work out how many credits he's getting for each delivery with another person, ideally one who knows how such things usually go on the forum.

Secondly, people for him to report to as to which pieces he's procuring next, and where/ to whom they are to be delivered. This can be folded into the group putting up the credits for the whole thing, but making it separate lets more people be involved.

Thirdly, someone to be behind, or associated with the people behind conceiving the starfighter design and assembling it. I am undecided so far whether or not I will end up making the character who came up with the design, but even if I do that leaves the need for a group that can put the darn thing together. Groups with a heavy focus on starfighter missions would obviously be best.

Fourth and finally, a group to be responsible for producing and flying the design once it's complete. While Gerart can pilot starfighters, one man does not an effective force make (usually). This could fold together with the group from three.

I have the ship design and specifications near-wholly worked out (along with the basic cover for how some of them at least are being transported), though I've not yet put it into the proper format for the forum. And I'm sure it will have to pass judgment in the Unapproved Tech thread once it *is* complete. But that's yet another thing where another set of eyes or two can help.

So respond if interested, and if you can fulfill the criteria above! I think this could be really neat if we can pull the whole thing off.

Saul probably has enough pull within the Rebellion to get the funding to pull together and test a few prototypes, and if they preform well enough pumping out a few more shouldn't be a problem at all.

I'm afraid that's the only part I can help with though, other people will need to still jump in on the other parts.

So that's one! Worse comes to worst, we might also work out if you're the one the pieces are being delivered to (or contacts of yours, etc.)

I'm doing a [thread=62659]thread[/thread] where I'm an NPC named Usmesa Lovus, the CEO of Argus Arms. If we set this little endeavor after the thread between me, Krajin, and Sirocco, then it could be conceivable that Argus Arms are willing to fund the project or secretly work on it with the rebels funding it. I also have an idea for a cover up so as not to look suspicious, my rebel Hira Senshino (link in sig) was a well known doctor amoung her people and the galactic medical community. She currently smuggles medical supplies for the rebels. Pyre your PC could act as her transport but actually be smuggling the pieces of the ship. I'm not saying Hira has to be involved in the thread or anything unless you want to included her, but it works as a cover story weather she is directly involved in the thread or not.​

Undine! I've actually already got some of this in process - he's transporting the first component now - so it wouldn't be a single thread as much as a series of threads over time. I also have an existing cover for how the components are being transported (which I should add in some way to the first post, it occurs to me), but extras or alternates might well not hurt. Argus Arms sounds like it could be a good candidate for either the development of certain components, the construction of the ship, or even just/additional funding or production of the craft once it's successfully completed.

Which I think means you'd get your pick of which of those you'd like to do most, given that it's your NPC!
