With the jump coming closer, I'm highly highly suggesting people take the time to update the characters they are using to cover the time difference.

Now if it helps give a little bit more on whats going on, make sure to read the write up Bac prepared.


Now during this time a vast majority of the Republic Navy, as well as the ground forces are being decommissioned " in waves as to not leave us exposed " and Being updated and retrofitted, or completely replaced with new craft being provided by Costa industries, Jayde Enterprises ( formerly Jade Entertainment) , Kuat Drives, and CARD.

Senate:
During the time many of the senates major tasks will revolve around regulating legislation around the lifting of the trade embargo, and doing their part to ease public tensions on a legislative level as well as negotiating treaties, and peace accords, or protection offers to neutral worlds within republic space, ( IE Zeltros) and the neutral zone. This as well as whats suggested in the write up.

NAVY/ARMY:
During most of the peace time affairs the armed forces will be spending much of it';s time re-fitting itself, and assisting in local matters when needed ( such as aiding local forces in dealing with small rebel bands typically funded by crime syndicates) though the bulk of their duties are securing the Republic boarders and conducting war games with the jedi order, and other allied combat able factions, as well as alot of time fine tuning their training while the command structures are adjusted.

Solag:
Solag will be spending much of it';s time helping in the above, though they will be working at what can be better stated as " level 0" affairs. That is moving in and taking care of problems at their roots. While there is no way to remove all the crime lords and gang leaders raising hell completely, they will be making wide crackdowns on the ones expected to have roots outside of republic space. They will also be utilized to cross into the neutral zones to help evacuate persons of importance from republic worlds stuck on the other side of the fence ( WITHOUT doing anything that would be considered an act of war)

S-13:
S-13 affairs will remain unaffected. Given their nature and their utilization of individuals rather than groups, S-13 will be spending much of it's time gathering deep space intel on Hutt affairs, and movements. This includes documenting their internal problems ( civil war) as well as anything else considered of value, or a potential threat.
S-13 is also finding itself further imbedded into other branches of the Republic such as Solag, and the armed services with orders of evaluating the command structures. Should one come across as a potential risk, and or incompetent, they are to be removed " through legal means/ aka file a report let the executive levels deal with it" unless they are seen to be a spy or immediate threat then " retiring" them is an option



Promotions:
There will be a series of promotions coming over the next few weeks leading up to the jump, this is intended to fill in our already sparse command structure, and give us more ability to deploy different fleets and ground managers in much broader actions, and not rely on a sparse few to have to deal with three or four fronts at the same time.

Promotions will be largely based on performance: Should you want to inquire, or request it PLEASE contact Myself, Boli or Will
Provide a link to the character and if you can at least 1 RP you feel is the best example of the character.

I will NOT be very available today ( Thursday 31st ) or tomorrow until later in the afternoon as I have appraisers and inspectors to deal with, so it's deep cleaning and all that jazz. but should be around with no foreseeable issues after.

Are there any specific military vessels that the navy should know about that are coming into service post-skip?

Those are being worked on by Ru, Jiang and others and should be in a write up soon enough: namely the 50+ year old ships are being switched out for new things, or upgraded to keep up with the Hutts. also broadening fighters and the likes as well. Pretty much a navy wide upgrade or make over, and the army based groups will get some new toys to. Namely new tanks/walkers and transports etc.

What will happen to Adena, considering if she survives the Ando Prime Battle?

if you mean the JA high admiral, her flagship was not in the line of collision anyway: her dealings are more up to Bac as far as the Bogan go.

Adara is being delt with by Will and Boli ^_^

She's getting blamed for everything. That's what.

Bummer. I guess that would explain why you've been stripped of your duties ICly and OOCly.
[ST]Join the Hutts and take down those who betrayed you! Take your revenge![/ST] I feel very sorry that all blame fell onto you.

EDIT: When will we, if it applies, be told of promotions?

not all fell on her, there " to my understanding" is going to be a full inquiry all around all all parts.

though the ill-deployment of the 15th directly led to the loss of several systems which could have been avoided by taking a core fleet, and just general deployment and such leading to a needless slaughter. so again it's on all sides.

The 15th was a reserve fleet. I said it was ok for Santaro to attack elsewhere because... at that point, he wasn't going to be able to bring in reinforcements. Then he whined in reinforcements and rebels on that planet.

Unlike others, I've tried to compromise, and this is my reward for it.

Do I sound mad? Well, it's because, frankly, I am mad. I've tried to resolve everything in PMs, and everyone said... sorry, but your being punished by someone else, or you'll get mod powers back (maybe) and its just temporary.

Well, it's been awhile, and all I know is that I'm basically getting shafted for being one of the only people who kept the Republic going when Jiang went off to run other factions.

Tarus did an awesome job with Solag, and Cailst was also helping, but I know I was doing most of the approval of profiles and instigation for ideas like resistance fighters on bothawui (great idea, btw denzein, sorry it never finished) and because of Ando prime, an attack I didn't plan and was shoehorned into because Jiang was AFK at the time of attack, I'm being cut out of everything.

Instead, Boli is being promoted to supreme commander, and he didn't even have a Republic character until Ando was mostly done. Am I frustrated? Yes. Because I feel like its about who is in the "power" crowd instead of who was getting things done, because, frankly, it was a small group of us not faction leaders keeping the Republic alive as a faction.

Adara, in other actions, at Denon, killed 30 vessels with a 7 ship fleet, at Rhommamool, successfully planted teams of infiltrators and saboteurs before the Hutt invasion while saving the government, sick, and elderly(Entirely under her own initiative). Then, at Ando, she had a plan that would have saved most of the 15th, but instead, command got given to Boli, who then ensured a massacre would happen instead.

And of course, everything that has happened is my fault, which is why we should promote the people who had nothing to do with the faction, and demote the people who were working hard to actually try and support the war effort.

You know, there is a lot about how people can "get involved and have an impact on the story," but honestly, the only way to get a position of influence in a faction seems to be being popular among the powers that be, because obviously it isn't about activity or initiative.

Am I mad? Yes. Is that anger justified? Absolutely.

Did I try to resolve this in PMs. Yes. So, in preparation for the time-jump, I'd like to just go ahead and say that no, this wasn't all my fault, and no, I don't honestly deserve the treatment I'm getting.

I'm really, frankly, quite frustrated at this point.

EDIT: And the senate basically did nothing because I wasn't allowed to approve profiles or do anything with them, though I asked Jiang about it several times. Then, finally, the one senator I had wanted to create is taken, before sign-ups are even open. That was just somewhat insulting.

for one this is, was ICly based, and it was not by my hand. It was asked if it could be by a few, and I agreed because....well that's realistic to a senate and admiralty committee after a complete failure like that. I left it in their hands to follow through with it.

Im sorry Im swamped micromanaging two things simultaneously while in the middle of buying a house, and being a full time mom with kids being home schooled. if little things are slipping through the cracks all I can do is get someone on it, or as I gave who to PM about it.

Do I personally think prime was a disaster from the start? yes and I had been advising oocly on how it could be gone about in a way that would NOT have done as such ( a few options actually) and the one that was chosen was the one that would have lead to the biggest problem... it was more or less a assumption based plan lacking the communication and such.. it happens..

but I'm ALSO not getting involved in it as much because I was active in that thread as JA BEFORE I became chancellor. This is left to those who wanted to push it. What they choose to do, or not is up to them.

As for the mod things.. I said it 50 times. I had EVERYTHING purged for a day or two to get a few things in place. I then ASKED for a few to get them back, and would be getting it for high admiral/general and up to mainly help with filling out the fleets....

thats going to come post jump AFTER I've had the time to review performances and such.

Perhaps part of the reason your character got shafted is simply RP politics. Regardless of merit, your character became unpopular because she took on responsibilities that doomed her to become unpopular and in the RP, that would be a liability for Adena's character.

I suppose if Adara survives it, she could try and either campaign against Adena through political or violent means(coup?).

Not the point.

The point is that I see no reason for me to get shafted in the first place. Sure, there was a disaster at Ando, but that disaster was already happening well before Adara took command.

I don't even get the chance to defend myself from being demoted by people below my rank IC.

And Edena, that post doesn't really get to my real frustration.

My frustration is just... fueled by a lot. Mostly the fact that OOC, I'm being replaced by people who weren't invested in the faction at all. IC, Adara doesn't get to defend herself, and OOC, I don't get to defend myself.

It isn't pleasant, and it doesn't inspire much faith in the way that the RP is run, in terms of people saying that you can get promoted if you are active and work hard in a faction.

I suggest a Senate Committee meeting review the battle, and then determine Adara's fate. Since Gabriel Djibril is returning, I'd be willing to participate in the committee meeting.
