That's what we'll be packing. If there's any confusion, PM me, and I'll clarify.

As for how this battle should start…I'm not sure. I think even the Mandalorians would want to be able to take control of the Kuat shipyards, rather than simply destroy them, so that ought to be a goal: Secure the shipyards. Though of course, not at the expense of the fleet as a whole. Securing the yards should be more a post-battle tasking, making planet-fall should be the primary goal. Which means getting through their defense forces and installations.

Obviously we have a few different types of combat going on here:
Fleet battles
Starfighter engagements
Small scale dismount (foot soldiers) operations
Large scale dismount (foot soldiers) combat operations
Large scale mounted (armored vehicles, i.e. tanks) combat operations
Large scale aircraft support operations (includes both air-to-air and air-to-land/surface-to-air engagements)

I will be writing involvement in practically every one of these areas. Aircraft engagements all around are my lowest priority considering GALSAF doesn't pack much of a starfighter force. We use it for bombing runs, hit-and-fades, distractions for boarding operations, etc. That's pretty much it.
Our fleet will act mostly in support of other Mandalorian units in orbit. If you're craft is getting chewed up, we swoop in, bloody your chin so the Mando vessel can get away/retaliate, then we back off again.
Our ground forces will be striking for the surface hard and fast, working to insert themselves into the best possible tactical position in order to eliminate enemy forces and secure fortified enemy positions for the Mandalorian side.
Our armored forces will act in support of our ground forces.
Our airborne support forces will act in support of our ground forces.

Our Black Operations Units will focus on special tasks, though I'm not sure what that ought to encompass. I'm thinking random mission taskings, like "take out that shield generator," etc.

Since the infiltration mission was nixed, I'm probably best suited for space combat. While I am confident I could take on any single Jedi or Sith writer in the conflict, I'm ill suited for large scale ground combat. I'll be bring a small squadron of 4 Skipray 24rs to the fight.

Unless someone tries to square off against me, I'm going to focus on using my ships to accelerate inert beskar projectiles up to something like .5 or .6c, and then letting them loose on ballistic courses towards the driveyards. At that speed, it won't take a very large projectile to do obscene amounts of damage.

I have Duke, his NPC squeese Sherer (sniper), his NPC true love Howler Queen (an actual howler) and Ashrahs ships hold filled with explosives.

Taung offing ash? He better cook a better ratatoulie then Duke then.

Trull and whoever he brings with him (#npcs) will most likely be on the station. Not certain yet though; I'll go wherever I'm needed.

GALSAF's full up and ready. We'll be scant on writers, but I'll be showing up with our full forces. Go get some!

A repost from the Kuat Battle Thread, just for everyone' info: I'll be focusing my posts to cover one distinct unit for each of our branches, and then simply narrate the rest of the force in a general sense. So, one unit (likely a battalion) from each of the 1st Infantry Brigade Commando Team, 1st Armored Commando Brigade, 1st Airborne Commando Support Battalion, Black Operations (just 8 guys), and the fleet itself, of course.
We have a small starfighter group, and dogfighting is too personal and detail-oriented for me to take on while handling everything else, so they'll likely only show up here and there to provide cover and support .

For rebuilding fleets? Lots. I plan to lose all my ships in this battle and rebuild.

Holy hell, reading over some of these armies and fleets, I'm considering a push to shrink limitations again. lol After having written such detailed stories and characters with a small fighting force, these limitations just sound ridiculous. I can't look at them! It's too silly! XD

Seriously though, Mandos: My guys are all Commando-grade soldiers, minus our Black Operators, which are General-level equivalent NPC's. I write all my soldiers as best I can, the Forcies won't find any cannon fodder here. That being said, there's always a huge number of them, and though they can have Force Powers and lightsabers and all that good stuff, I can't even pack beskar onto more than a handful of my boys.

That being said: I would love to lead the charge on the ground here, and already have a decent plan mocked up, but considering we're outnumbered by an insane amount, GALSAF won't last a moment with boots on the ground without Mando forces to swell the ranks.

So again, I'm going for ground assault, have to cut through atmosphere and orbital defenses first though. Thankfully, both our Star Destroyers are capable of dropping into atmosphere, so I may just go with that and pack the extra firepower to help. (Unless there's rules against bringing and atmosphere-capable starship into atmosphere even though one man can fund an army of 50,000 people. lol)

I'm getting and entrance post up that will outline GALSAF's current plan. Feel free, writers, to interject IC/OOC at any time.
