| Background |
| Millennia ago Rendili Hyperworks and Stardrive were leading shipwrights in the galaxy. Also known as one the founding shipwrights along with Correlian Engineering, Core Galaxies, and Alderaan Royal Engineering Rendili's shipyards have had a place in history serving as the premiere starship design and construction company for much of the Old Republic's history. Rendili itself was a Core founder of the first Galactic Republic, and favored for many years in the early days of the governments activity. They constructed vessels used by the Republic Navy for several thousand years with such designs as the Praetorian Frigate, Hammerhead Cruiser, Valor Carrier, and later on even the Dreadnought Heavy Cruiser that saw use in the clone wars and beyond. However those times have passed. Over time Rendili had gradually fallen out of favor of the galactic governments. Kuat Drive Yards was a rising star during the times, and rose to prominence eventually. By the time of Palpatine's Empire, Rendili found itself swept aside for the growing popularity of other shipyards and been largely forgotten since then. Even the New Republic after the Rebel Alliance overthrew Palpatine contracted Rendili little, seeing most contracts going to Corellia and Mon Calamari instead. Even Sorosuub and the shipyards of Duro saw better profits. Now though the galactic board is changing. Corellia and Duro were devastated by the new Imperium. Kuat Drive Yards has been replace by Mandal Motors. Still, however, Rendili's shipyards are neglected by all but a few independent contractors and purchases by the hutts. Despite this the shipyards still maintain the ability to construct spaceframes able to field shapes the size of Imperial Star Destroyers and larger. The loss and continued ignoring of their historic contributions and their still capable yards, many of Rendili's starship company owners long for the glory days of their shipyards. And to that end many patriotic Rendili answered the call with a bold strategy. Rendili would field its own small fleet in secret. Refitting existing Rendili designed warships that had long been decommissioned and turned into cargo transports. From there the group would be commanded by a Rendili with ties to the yards and who held military experience. The objective? To operate hunting the trade routes Rendili transported their products along to clients, and in actually eliminate pirate threats to protect Rendili interests and occasionally hit the transports of competing shipyards to bolster Rendili's position and provide more materials for the use of the group. In this manner the group would avoid being related to Rendili directly, thus eliminating the threat of Rendili facing retribution from groups the Rendili Restoration Force would perhaps make enemies of. However, this is still not enough, to merely protect Rendili interests. The goal of the group is more than that. Eventually the group will expand as resources come in and more members are recruited. When a suitable force can be marshaled under the their banner a decision would eventually have to be made concerning what the final objective will be. For Rendili to rise to prominence again it needs to be the shipwright of choice for a major player. Who that will be is unknown for now. However, the group grew dormant for a long time, the attack on the Jedi temple so many months ago, along with an illness prompting leadership to step back from leading for a time while certain individuals recovered as well. In this regard the group began to fall apart and become simple onlookers despite feats they achieved. In this time a number began to leave, selling or taking former assets with them. Now though, the time for staying quiet has ended, and it is time for the group to move past its former glory to new heights. Abandoning their former name with encouragement and drive to become more active as a new rallying call was made to rekindle new followers and old hands loyally kept. |
| Base of Operations |
| In keeping with their determination to not implicate Rendili in their operations. The Rendili Restoration Forces operate away from their homeworld. Occasionally they will dock at Rendili's smaller shipyards stationed in the mid and outer rim for repairs and restocking supplies if the need is severe. However, they primarily will operate through the use of acquiring supplies from Rendili freighters at predetermined times that they "steal" from. That or by having the Starlight assigned to a battle group depart to purchase them from a Rendili operated station. Although it is just an extra level of caution on their part. After all, their mainline vessels have been acting as large trading vessels for thousands of years rather than the warships they once were. The sight of them would probably not inspire the idea otherwise until their weapons are brought to bear. For now their main base of operations is an old Hypori Droid Factory the group took control of back in their more active days. |
Roster/Deployment |
Order of Battle |
| The Rendili Restoration Force follows a military structure, taking orders directly from the highest ranking officer and working down. The Admiral has full command, however, orders from Captains and Squadron Commanders take precedence on the go in situations where they are in command of operations or if situations right in front of them occur where action is needed immediately. |
Ranks |
| Admiral (1) - Commands all forces. |
| Captain - In charge of single capital ships of the Restoration Force. |
| Squadron Commander (2) - Commands Fighter Squadrons. |
| Field Commander - Commands ship security and ground forces. |
| Trooper/Pilot (1000) - Average pilot or soldier among the Rendili Restoration Force |

Fleet |
Rendili Hyperworks Model Hammerhead Class Class Frigate Role Troop Transport, Escort, Warship Composition Durasteel (hull & superstructure), Titanium Reinforcement (Hull & superstructure), Hardened Transparisteel (Viewports) Dimensions Length: 315 m Crew 300 Crew (Optimal) (315 actual) Up to 400 Passengers Cargo Capacity 4000 Metric tons Consumables 8 standard months Complement 12 - Aurek Tactical Starfighters 1 - BT-7 Gunships Armament 8 Dual Medium Turbolaser Canons (4 mounted forward along the prow, 2 turreted on the sides, 2 each along the port and starboard hull) 8 Quad Laser Canons (4 along the port and starboard hull) 4 Pinpoint Defense Laser Canons (2 along the port and starboard hull) Equipment Military Grade Sensor Array, Military Grade Targeting Suite, Standard Life Support Module, Military Grade Navigation Module, Tractor Beam Emitter, Life Pods, Military Grade Shield Generator, 4 Rendili ion engines. Description Having undergone radical upgrades and design revisions since their debut thousands of years before. The Hammerhead-class cruiser was one of the longest serving classes of ship since its time in the Old Republic Navy, with versions of it being maintained in active service for at least 3,000 years. Now the ships are back, now the workhorse of the Rendili Restoration Force. A key feature of the Hammerheads were their ability to enter atmospheres and land on planetary surfaces. giving them much more importance for independent operations, especially for quick invasions through ground operations. 
Manufacturer Rendili Hyperworks Model Aurek Tactical Starfighter MKII Class Starfighter Role Assault, Patrol Composition Titanium-Reinforced Alusteel (hull & superstructure), Transparisteel (cockpit canopy) Dimensions Length: 9.2 m Crew 1 (Pilot) Cargo Capacity 20kg Consumables 1 standard week Armament 2 Heavy Laser Canons 2 Proton Torpedo Launcher (6 Torpedos) Equipment Basic Sensor Array, Basic Targeting Suite, Standard Life Support Module, Standard Navigation Module, Light Shield Generator, Pilot Ejector Seat, Rendili engines. Description In use ever since the Mandalorian Wars of the Old Republic, Aurek Starfighters have seen use since their initial deployment. More specifically the Aurek fighters saw combat throughout a time span of 3,000 years, and they underwent extensive upgrades and revisions from one era to the next. The fighter was capable of considerable acceleration and maneuvering, and had variable-geometry wings. They were easily refuelable and rearmable, thus driving down costs. Now they have emerged again, this time as the fighter of choice for the Rendili Restoration Force. 
Manufacturer Rendili Stardrive Model Starlight Class Light Freighter Class Freighter Role Cargo Hauler Composition Durasteel (hull & superstructure), Transparisteel (cockpit canopy) Dimensions Length: 34 m Crew 1 (Pilot) Up to 4 Passengers Cargo Capacity 50 metric tons Consumables 1 standard month Armament Turret-mounted blaster cannon Equipment Basic Sensor Array, Basic Targeting Suite, Standard Life Support Module, Standard Navigation Module, Light Shield Generator. Description The Starlight-class was designed in the shape of a flying wing, measuring thirty-four meters in length. The cockpit was located at one end of the curved wing, with a turret-mounted blaster cannon mounted on the opposite end. Its interior was very rugged with limited living space. Produced by Rendili StarDrive in conjunction with Surron StarTech. It proved to be the last design produced by Rendili-Surron. |
| RRF Equipment Roster |
Affiliation: Rendili Restoration Force Ownership: N/A Intent: Distinctive Armor for the RFF. For ground forces and ship security. Model: Prototype I (Well no time like the present!) Weight: The full set weighs, including helmet, torso, shin, boots, shoulder and forearm panels weighs 15kg. However it can be easily modified which may increase weight. Composition: RCA mostly a fiber-weave uniform with sections of armor-weave mixed in where the armored metal plating is vacant over sections of the body to increase mobility while attempting to maintain better defensive ratings. Rating: Rendilian Combat Armor is flame retardant, however it is only resistant to lighter form of small arms fire and mostly protective of critical areas while the limbs are slightly more exposed and vulnerable to shrapnel. Armor piercing rounds, close range explosives, lightsabers, and whatever other terror is bigger than the average pistol or low res rifle. Description: An armor designed to look reminiscent of old republic trooper uniforms, the RCA is the Rendili Restoration Force's armor of choice, meant to provide maximum mobility while maintaining a defense rating for minor skirmishes. As most of the Restoration Force's work is centered around such instances of combat the armor is considered effective, though most likely outmatched by the sort of gear major factions operate with. Still it is good at what it does, and that is keeping the wearer alive in a shootout. 
Manufacturer Exotac Arms & Drolan Plasteel Model Pz-95 Blaster Carbine Class Blaster Carbine Composition Plasteel (external plating), Desh & Aluminium (framework & internal components) Dimensions Length: 77.5 cm (stock fully extended) Weight 3.4 kg Ammunition/Power Cell Capacity 50 (per blaster cartridge) Maximum Range 245 m Description A design that has seen no major changes in the nearly seventy years since its inception, the Pz-95 was first marketed as a powerful yet affordable personal defense weapon and sold to thousands of people living in the Outer Rim. Despite its archaic design, it is quite reliable, though certainly not the most durable of weapons. The plasteel casing has been known to chip and shatter quite easily when hit directly or dropped on a hard surface, but this is the trade-off for a super light weight carbine. Contrary to marketing claims, it is only a step above a heavy blaster pistol in terms of power and requires regular maintenance. 
Model Sentinel Droid MKV Manufacturer Rendili Restoration Force Hypori Droid Factory Description Built to spec exactly like the Sentinel Droids of old, the Sentinel Droids in use by the Rendili Restoration Force act as security aboard the RRF's vessels as well as the defenses for their Hypori Base. Bearing standard equipment for a combat droid, the Sentinel Droid's unique feature is its built in shield generator. While not of the same class as Droidekas of later years, they nonetheless pose an added defensive bonus to the droid. Granting longevity for a few more shots in addition to its existing metal make. |
