So I am trying to understand things here, so Xeno will be coming at me from the back with a sword and Mars is firing at me with his railgun and I am not sure how he was able to bypass the thermal detonator thrown at him and my launchers. Also my character will be receiving damage but that does not change the fact that I am in air and it is possible for me to move fast, and Mars is on the ground.
I really need to understand now how Apollo survived the thermal detonator and the launcher now. Also Xeno's and Mars' latest attacks is in a new round of posts which means I have a change to counter and reply to it.

Responding to this first:
I read through the battle and I can't see any post where rocket launchers or thermal detonators were specifically thrown at Mars. You engaged Imperial shuttles quite a bit with such weapons, along with other NPC's, but I have not see anything coming out and stating 'I shoot a rocket launcher at Apollo's face', so I have to assume that he was never engaged with weapons like that. The only thing close was when Maxxor jetpack'd into the air and started popping off blaster rounds at Mars.
---------------
Moving on from that.
Events are as follows:
1) Samowise's character is able to jetpack up into the air. Mars' character transfers from firing at him on the ground to tracking him into the air, hammering him with fire from his shotgun. He will not need to reload - as it's been pointed out, the weapon is belt-fed and it's doubtful that Mars has such poor trigger control that he'll have expended an entire belt by now.
2) Xeno's character almost immediately swoops down to intercept Samowise while Sam is still being engaged by Mars. This occurs before Sam can fire his grenade launcher. Samowise, I don't see any reasonable defense against this - there's no way you could tell that Xeno's character, who is cloaked, is swooping down to roflshank you in the back. At the same time, you jumped right into a wall of shotgun fire.
Because Xeno's post was intended to interrupt your attack, Sam, and because Mars never stopped firing at you, I'm going to go ahead here and say that you were successfully intercepted. Unfortunately, you've left yourself boxed in and defenseless here, and I don't see any reasonable way out for your character.
Now, Xeno's attack reads like it will immediately incapacitate your character, and because it was intended as an interception I'm going to assume that it lands first. Your character is going to have to take that hit, which will put him out of the fight. Mars is still firing on you, which creates a friendly-fire problem for Xeno which they'll have to work out. I'm guessing that since Xeno's going for your back, his character will be partially protected by Akela.
Note that if Xeno had not been present, you would have still been shot up pretty good - again, you positioned yourself in the middle of Mars' line of fire without any way to easily move or dodge out of the path of what's essentially a high-speed wall of shrapnel.
On the note of being shot, Maxxor is engaging Mars. Mars, you'll have to acknowledge that and take appropriate damage from Maxxor's blaster rifle as you haven't defended against it. Your shields will be weakened, if not dropped entirely.
In summary...
RULING:
1) Sam's character, Akela, is intercepted in mid-air by Xenomorph and successfully struck. Akela will be incapacitated by the attack.
2) Maxxor is shooting Mars's guy, Apollo; as Mars has not defended against or acknowledged Max's attack, Max's blaster rifle found its mark and will inflict an appropriate level of damage to Apollo.

So once again this has been ignored? I need a ruling on this.

No, you need to learn how to read. >.>
They're directed at a general group of Imperial forces, not Apollo (who would be of the Mandalorian forces), meaning he threw them at a bunch of NPC's. It hasn't been ignored and Jiang explained that more than once.
I'll edit in a bit to reflect the changes. Xeno's got Sam so I'll edit to include taking the shots from Max an a counter.

There are no npcs in the battle. This is a 2 vs 2 battle and I assume that Maxxor was throwing this at you and the forces on the ground. After all, you are the one leading the ground forces and you would normally get affected by the thermal detonator.

This has to be trolling. I give up on the OOC for this battle.

Sam, what you're saying doesn't make any sense. If there are no NPC's in the battle, how did you and Maxxor fire on Imperial transport shuttles?
More specifically, and far more importantly:
Maxxor explicitly stated that he chucked that detonator at Imperial Forces. Not at Apollo, not at Xeno's guy, at generic Imperial Forces. He had his chance to try to 'nade Apollo, and he chose to shoot at him instead.
I've had to mention this several times now, I'd appreciate it if I didn't have to mention it again.

Oh well, literary I get into an unfair battle and the admins are being nitpicking about small details to the point that they void one of our attacks that would have caused a difference in the whole course of battle. I have been told by many people how everyone has been biased toward the Imperial side and how joining main battles is pointless because it always end up with Imperials winning. Well I am not here to argue anymore about this thread, but seriously you guys need to realize how pointless this timeline has been due to the fact that everyone is hellbent on destroying the Alliance no matter what.
I came here looking for a fair an equal fight and really this is what I get? I am not really arguing and I pretty much knew the result of this when I realized who I was fighting. However; people need to realize that most of those GA side have lost interest in the fight because of this, and I assure you it won't be so long before the Imperial side won't find anyone to fight.
Thanks and I am out!!! feel free to kill my character.

I thought I posted in here a while back but apparently not. What're we doing with this now that Sam gas chosen to ragequit? Max do you want to continue fighting or no? If you want I'll extend the chance to retreat without worrying about us shooting you in the back.
Just an offer, if not I'll post tonight.
