We need Ground support

[Andrewza]

We should think of building up some ground combat vehicles. The old GA would be a good source along with a few Indie and stolen stuff

Operation: Hijack a Star Destroyer. Loot the inside?

 

[Andrewza]

Better to raid a factory or depo.

 

[Calixis]

If the Rebels we going to raid a factory/depot, they'd would need a means of transporting the equipment they capture off-world to their ships (Dropships? Freighters?). It also needs to be large/substantial enough to make it a worthy target. A single tank or a few speeder-bikes isn't really much in the grand scheme of things.

One option could be that instead of actually hijacking the equipment, they try and gain the people with the knowledge, skills and connections to actually get a half-decent production going, whether that be a secret alliance under the Imperium's nose (the Hutts, independent worlds, etc) or actually extracting those people (former/hiding/imprisoned Galactic Alliance engineers) to work hand to mouth with the Rebels, though that would mean they'd actually need the facilities.

Food for thought.

 

[Andrewza]

The rebels do have ships, any case we can all ways raid a Depo and steal back the gear from the old GA line up.

I'm sure Jack could find a suitable target for y'all. Might be an interesting roleplay, scouting out a target before an attack. :D

 

[Commissar Brett]

I could try to write one up, if you'd have it?

 

[Flying Dutchman]

I'd love to get my hand on some M75 'Stallions'. Any idea how we're gonna get them?

Otherwise, some MAT 54 'Steadfasts' will deliver the necessary firepower we desperately need.

Anyways, I'm up for any raiding missions. Could even write the missions myself if you want?

 

[Andrewza]

We need locco to approve this all first. But we could switch the imperial forces to pirate and then we could capture and hold the place.

 

[Grim]

If you want, I have some designs I was working on for My indie faction. If you want I can finish them up or send over the ones I have/had.

Agreed. There should be a story arc around this. First find and recon the target. Good for those spy type rebels.

Then clear the space above. For fighter and capital ship owners.

Lastly the attack force.


Sort of how we stole X wings but on a grander scale.


The target could be a mercenary group or even a rouge Mando clan giveing us access to ex GA and Mando tech.

Instead of raiding a factory and stealing a few dozen or so vehicles it would be better to steal schematics of vehicles and weapons and use them to build equipment to our own specifications. This eliminates the need for large scale assaults and ships to transport the commandeered vehicles away. It also means 2-3 man/woman teams can infiltrate the target, steal what we need and get out and draw far less attention than raiding a factory and stealing everything. Infiltrate a target, steal the schematics, sabotage the factory/base, extraction. Thats how you would want to go about doing this sort of thing, and don't worry about how we would go about funding the construction of these new toys, I'm currently working on a side project with the uppers to come up with a way to get the funds. I know a lot of rebel PCs are more the pilot and warrior type but honestly what we need more then anything right now are spies, intelligence officers, special operatives, assassins, and negotiators. Before we can have the ability to launch a full scale war we need to do the nitty-gritty things that make it possible.​

 

[Flying Dutchman]

Oh yeah. I'm lucky my character is a spy indeed. Seems like exiting times. Thanks Undine. Let me know if there's any infiltration that needs to be done.

 

[Andrewza]

Who said raid. I mean fully blown loot like in we hit a depo and drain it dry. There would be enough to reverse engineer, field a large ground forces and we could possibly steal manufactureing tools and machines.


Main resean for a ground strike is it is better to RP than a computer hack.

 

[Commissar Brett]

Hey guys, I'm drafting a hovertank right now that might be good for the Rebellion

 

[ItsUhTrap42]

I'd be happy to render any aid required. Freighter can carry about one tank, assuming all gets approved. PM me and let me know how I can help.
