Operation Salt in the Wound (Battle of Kessel (IV))
Hey Guys,
So, I'm trying to check and see if anyone is interested in working a plot to try and retake Kessel (Again? lol). This is something, that I have heard anyway, has been something the Sith Order has tried to do a bunch and has failed to do on multiple occasions. Who wants to fail again? I'm looking to organize some imperials that are looking to Blockade the Kessel Corridor that supplies the planet, in hopes that it might give us an advantage in taking the planet. This will be a mixed plot, including three threads in total.
1. Thread representing the Blockade (and I'm assuming combat taking place there), which will have to be held by the empire to make this successful. Controlling the blockade is a success condition for the Sith whereas destroying it or routing it would be the victory condition for the Mandalorians.
2. The planet side conquest will take place in its own thread and will likely take place after the blockade is deemed successful. This is going to be a ground-based conflict what will only allow Mandalorian PCs that can justify getting past the successful blockade (as the blockade being defeated is already a loss for the empire).
3. this will be a low activity thread that will be for attempting to traverse the Maw (a huge nebula full of blackholes I think) which is extremely dangerous but would be an interesting way to bi-pass the blockade, for those insane enough to try it.
I'm mostly checking the interest of my Sith Peeps out there, looking to have a good time and trying to win some glory in battle. I am very much aware that the likelihood of success is slim; however, there will be plot rewards regardless of victory or defeat.
-There will not be any more than 6 PC characters in one battle thread at a time. The Blockade will last for a period of 3 OOC weeks before being deemed Successful if there is no Madalorian attack. If the Empire succeeds in repelling at least 1 large fleet (or 2 small fleets) then the ground phase may begin. At any time during this gestation period, the empire may receive reinforcements and Mandalore may deploy an attack fleet. I will be keeping an open thread to sign up for an attack to determine the attackers and the defenders (again only 6PCs per PVP). Character levels are still applicable. Battles will last no longer than 3 weeks.
-Each opposing side has 48 hours to post their replies. Additional time may be requested if hours fall on unusual times (early morning, during school/work, etc.)
-If the land phase is viable (after the month period), then the only way for more PC players to take place in the battle is to run the blockade to participate or have a DMed thread of them running the Maw to get to the battle threads.
-The blockade can still be defeated during the land phase; however, the planet can fall if the blockade is defeated at this point…though the invasion is certainly put in a bad position in this instance.
-This is a thread that is for fun and is not focused around killing characters. Just because a ship or a player is auto hit does not spell instant defeat. Please try to play your character, despite injury, as best as you can and do not simply surrender!
-If there is enough interest, there can be multiple space threads created.
