hutt opening blitz

[Empress]

what Im wanting to do.. because he's a " attack attack attack and really does not really take into account his wake much.... with these I'm wanting to have the native defenses there....

however

I want to move a fleet behind him between Tanaab system and Semeria. Effectively cutting him off from his lines and forcing him to choose if he's going to break off or try to take the world, if he tries to take it, the other fleet can move in before he's able to establish anything, and unable to lick his wounds...


Also most of the major worlds on the border areas have some form of blockades , though this is a neutral zone thing but I do want the fleet sitting out AWAY from the planet itself forcing the fight at Indar ( the 8th planet out Tanaab is the second planet )

Santoro expands too fast, and instantly uses a Stalinist enforcement.. this thins him out and actually makes the systems in his wake really unstable so alot of our " shutting down his momentum " will start to capitalize on it, and alot of head games.


similar tactic on these opening ones should be done.. though some variation when a blockade is there such as on the corellian trade spine/run and key intersections

 

[Lavi]

(For reference, RP threads:
Battle of Tanaab
Battle of Dorin
Blockade breaking

So we know what we're dealing with)

Do you have any suggestions in regards to Santoro's blockade running, seeing you have a good "geographical" handle in regards to planet placement?

What is the rp reason for us getting a fleet into position?

Seems a bit far fetched to have a fleet in position to cut him off when he is attacking a random world we didn't know about.

Edit: Whoops, don't think I'm allowed to post in here lolz

Don't make me question whether I'm supposed to be here or not! D:

RP admin title said it's okay.


basically what he's doing in all of these are in contested regions established over the treaty of Ithor. so we both have had a coldwar like build up in and around everything. Now the more major trade lines would be quite heavily blockaded...

blockade running being the more major of his events as far as the republic see's, followed by Tanaab

What loosely will happen with the blockade is that while his fleet is held up at the block, the system in question will be fortified- because were trying to take away the hutt ability to dictate where fights happen and force them away from areas where a failure means it's over with.

as it is now: should the blockade fail, he has the options to fall back, or keep pressing on already battle damaged and risk running into a fresh battle group already waiting. The Republic on the other hand has a chance to completely thwart a battle before it even happens and send a clear message that we are not push overs. We've pulled many of our core fleets to bolster the borders.

Tanaab is much the same, major trade world sitting in the neutral zones, so we both have fast strike abilities in here. however here the goal is just to start establishing this sector. Tanaab is on the perlemain trade line, which is the vital line we need to eb able to gain control over and clear up the path to Ossus ( as the jedi are " huttlocked" at the moment and for them moving is risky

those are the major reasons.



as for numbers and what not I'll have to gangpress boli in here

I eagerly await assignment, I hope to make an impact.

Hi.

 

[Empress]

okay.. here are the battles.

Spoiler: Dorin

Dorin.. the republic is going to ignore mostly. naturally anyone can play " native defenses"

here is why.

The planet is not republic ( and wont be till 5k-ish) nor jedi. the force cult Baran-do is still in control

The major technology boom did not start really until they joined the republic in 5-k ish.

So resource, and location wise there is absolutely 0 value to anyone.

to further it the twin black holes even in modern SW time lines are deadly to navigate.


thus the Republic is in no way effected by this battle.


BUT! I WOULD like to send a single Solag team to screw with the hyperspace beacons so that they throw things with Hutt transponder frequencies into the black holes

Spoiler: Tanaab

Calist to hold them back at Idara which is the 8th planet in the system ( tanaab is the second) while someone starts getting a garrison deployed at tanaab,this will most likely come from jedi and some republic ground forces perhaps SOLAG.. I'll let Calist work those out :P

sam and his fighter squadron ( squadron is 12 fighters) can be there to assure no Hutt landing craft make it planet side.

Ru will be the one to go and move a fleet back behind between the tanaab system and semeria system...this SHOULD be mentioned in the IC thread.. and make it clear your in between systems and holding.. any ooc fallout we will deal with as it comes. ( I expect it because it's sneaky )

should Calist be forced to fall back, Ru should advance back into Tanaab and not give the Hutts a chance to get cozy.

Spoiler: Blockade

Chewie will take his captain and head up the initial blockade with fighter support from Riaf

your priorities are to hold them back as long as possible. the fighters main directive it to protect the interdictor Gatekeeper as long as you can and make sure hutts can't capture it. feel free to make a tactical strike if needed to target the Hutts main weapon systems or com systems

if it turns ugly I want everyone to fall back to yag'dhul where Boli will be moving in and trying to basically sweep up any left over hutts there from the " cease fire agreement" and establish a garrison


it is VITAL we are able to gain the territories around here because of the vital trade lines.

Spoiler: S-13

hutts expand fast, take over industry and use it to feed their expanding...this means though that their hold over the populations of these worlds would be unstable... It's suggested a few go into these worlds and try and establish a resistance. I'm currently looking for smugglers I can trust to supply weapons and medical care to support their efforts

 

[Ru the Boatswain]

what about Numbers of forces, have those been worked out?

 

[Lavi]

For S13, I'm not sure whether you're referring to Dorin/another planet that is targeted by the Hutts at the moment or a planet that is already under Hutt control (ie. Bothawui). Clarification please?

other planets that were ours that hutts took. ie bothawui and the likes

numbers I was going to allow the commanders to decide, but I'd say keep it more or less inline with the Hutts


I want to also start massing and entrenching outside Rondai and Haven though, Im betting thats his aim given it's semi close to Coruscant.. so we could easily build a mass there and just collaps the entire operation more so once Solag tampers with the nav beacons.

 

[Lavi]

I'll be more the happy to make Bothawui a priority for my S13 character.

Would there be any problem with some sizable portion of my fleet being designed for combat within the gas giant?

I don't think that would be much of a deal.... many of the new new capitals were designed by Card, and Costa so if you need specs ask RU what he made but from Card we got

In exchange for Two [2] DDX 9008 class Cruiser hulls [provided w/all power and drive assemblies] and One [1] BCX 001 'Summit' class Dreadnought hull [provided w/all power and drive assemblies, plus magnets for spinal accelerator cannons], the Crytek Research and Development Corporation has provided the following:

Twenty [20] YF902/s 'Dante' Stealth Fighters, provided with enough ammunition for no less than 5 sorties, training systems, replacement parts, and drop-in transponder system to allow for rapid removal and replacement of the vessel's IFF beacon. [Vessel does not include the 'Virgil' class artificial intelligence unit.]

Two [2] modified YF902/s 'Dante' Stealth Fighters. Modification has remodeled internal rotary missile racks to accept atmospheric entry-capable drop pods in lieu of missiles. Each rack can hold 6 such pods, for a total of 12 pods. Pods may be individually launched, or entire missile rack may be jettisoned, allowing the pods to fall out of the rack through inertia. The fighters retain their cannons for self-defense purposes. They do not include an AI.

Six [6] MK III Legionnaire AdvaNced Combat Exoskeleton suits, also known as 'LANCE' power armor. These shall be provided at no cost, and with the barest minimum of technical support required to train no more than Six [6] Republic troopers in the use of this armor. The armor shall be supplied with enough replacement parts and tools to keep it functional for a minimal of four years.

 

[Empress]

I'll be more the happy to make Bothawui a priority for my S13 character.

also S-13 should start digging around for anything to try and prove that the current mandalore is a hutt puppet and play up the mando's pride and honour...and or strain relations there alittle






though if he's at the dorin fleet he may not be around long

I have a few ships designed, I'll be finishing the carrier write-up soon enough.

 

[Empress]

JE also put out the holo projectors and advanced sensors for many of those ^_^


there is also the Jhayed Z8 Athena class fighter: they are very similar to the JA swallow tails in that they are easily modified and built in hyperdrives allowing short jumps...but they are sorta based oocly on the E-wing in that they are able to take a beating

 

[Ru the Boatswain]

I prefer my fury's.

 

[Empress]

those a re pretty too.



okay there are other Solag options i would love to see while this is going on. pretty simple tampering with communication relays ( I would prefer if they were not destroyed or knocked out.. more tampered with to tap them, and or have them broadcast fake looping traffic) taking out listening posts and anything they can to basically blind the Hutts

 

[Will]

My Rep characters will have to sit it out for a bit, as I'm off doing Amsterdam things.
