Given that we have no main general for now, would a competition be a good idea so that we could have simulated battle where everyone is given a small fleet and they have to battle it out and whoever wins gets to be the main general?

*General Victor Levon was the first to step through the door. Medals covering half way down the left side of his white uniform. His face stern and frustrated as he glared at his superior.*

"Really sir. Have I done so bad a job that you think it necessity to replace me? Not to be rude sir, but I'am back, and I'am the general of the Alsakan Union."

"Now that you're back, there is no need to replace you anymore, we just need a second in command that isn't captured and can take over when you have your absences ." Van Tien said with his magic powers that allowed him to be in three threads at once.

OOC: lol

"Which members of our armed forces are being held by the Republic and do we know their location?"

"CDR was caught while he was on a spying mission, Zaneak was captured in the battle of Bessimir. As of now, our spies have gone on a mission to rescue CDR.

"Yes, but do we know where the Republicans are holding them? Also, what is the current number of able fighting ships available to us? Lastly what moves have the Republicans made during my absence?"

"I think the spies know as they have started a rescue mission. However, I haven't looked into it enough. As for what the Republic has done, they have routed us from Metellos fully and we took fairly heavy losses in our retreat as you must have fainted and leadership was less experienced. At Coruscant, we lost about two ships and in a strange turn of events, we left and it was rather fortunate as another half fleet of Republic ships was coming to join the battle. At Bessimir, some ships were destroyed and the general captured but most of the fleet returned. The battle of Ruan has gone well as there was no resistance and the full military was able to return home with their mission accomplished. Fortunately, the Republic has stopped for now and is now offering us a peace treaty. If we do not accept, they will almost certainly destroy us as they have 900 or so ships to our 240 or so ships remaining."

"The communication systems on my flagship were destroyed in the pull back from Metellos. I was unable to direct the movements of the fleet, also you may have wondered where I've been all this time. When the Republicans destroyed the hyperspace beacon. Our navigation computer had received only part of the coordinates and sent us nearly half way across the galaxy."

*He sighed. Rubbing the bridge of his nose. The situation was not as bad as he feared, but it was grim nontheless.*

"We cannot surrender to the Republicans. We cannot forshake Shalharra's will nor the crimes the Republicans have committed against her. Shalharra stands with us. This misfortune is a test of our faith in her and our cause."

"While we won't surrender, we pretty much have to accept peace as she allowed victory to be given to the Republic and there is no reason she wouldn't allow us to lose as we have failed to fix Coruscant in the time that we had it. While she may still may be punishing us for our failure, at least we can temporarily neutralize her rod of discipline so that we can wage war on the Republic through quieter but still potentially damaging ways. Perhaps we could stage events so that the Republic collapses into civil war or goes back into the decay that it was in before we attacked." Van Tien said. "However, denying them their peace treaty will probably allow them to continue with their mandate against us and with their superior numbers, there is little hope that we would survive as Shalharra has at least withdrawn her protection if she isn't disciplining us."

"I disagree sir. Shalharra is clearly testing our faith and devotion in her mission to destroy the Republicans. Wielding to the Republicans would be acting against her will. It would show we have lost our faith in her and her will. We must stand against the Republicans, strike at their vital worlds through hit and run attacks, carry out black ops missions, follow the strategy I laid out before we launched our offensive."

OOC: You lost 60 ships? What the hell? The fleet was one/two posts away from entering hyperspace. Also the Republic does not have 900 ships anymore. They lost ships too.

"While we can do various things like hit and run attacks, it would be better if we still had some sort of base to work from. If we can get a good enough ceasefire, perhaps we can do some of those things under the guise of peace. We might be able to then slowly weaken the Republic enough to eventually destroy them. However, with all of our defeats and failures, there is little reason that Shalharra still has her shield of protection upon us. Were we to try things like the hit and run attacks, they might work but we would lose Alsakan as they badly outnumber us and would destroy us utterly."

ooc: when you were ready to retreat, apparently we weren't facing the right direction and I was arguing that we were outside the gravity well and that we did in fact have the coordinates. That's why we need you because you are actually experienced and you're unlikely to do things poorly

*The general opened his month to reply, no words emerged, there was clear conflict within his eyes as religious faith and military doctrine clashed over what course to take. Follow the path Shalharra had set before them to walk, a path that may end with Alsakan's defeat? Follow a path that was different than what Shalharra willed and maybe bring greater punishment? He couldn't answer that. He didn't have an answer, so he asked a question instead.*

"What if the Republicans do not want just a crease fire? What if they demand our surrender? An unconditional surrender?"

"I don't know. If they demand our surrender, I may want to hear out what all the terms are of the surrender. Should the terms be a mere slap on the wrist, I think we could gracefully surrender. On the other hand, should the terms be ridiculously constricting, then I wouldn't surrender as then there might be a bigger chance of somehow winning a battle than surviving long under those terms. I'm not sure what I would do if they offered to let us back into the Republic as we were a core founder and we would at least be an influential member of the Republic if we were still in power." Van Tien said mentioning some of the worse possibilities that could happen hoping that the cease fire would be at least a fairly neutral agreement.

"I very much doubt any type of terms will be merciful toward us. We did after all overrun their capital and tried to burn two worlds, and crash starships into another. The Republicans will not welcome us back with open arms as fellow founders. Any terms given will be harsh. That I'am sure."

ooc: Van Tien has been using some magic powers to have been in that ceasefire thread and come back instantaneously.

ic: "Well, as of now, a ceasefire without terms has been declared for 15 days. So, we now have some more flexibility in what we do as we could either get a more permanent peace in that time, somehow find a lot of ships to defend Alsakan or something else." Van Tien said noting the change in status.

"I would suggest we us this time to build our relations with independent factions who have been neutral in this conflict and try to bring them onto our side."

"Definitely a good idea but what factions would it be best to initially concentrate on? And would Jeff, my apprentice in the Jintu order, be good for carrying out any of those missions?" Van Tien said thinking about what exactly to do.
