The Galactic Empire

Viox, I could use you at the Sith Academy on Korriban? I'm gathering some Sithies for some stuff there. If you like war/combat, you're more then welcome to join the Brotherhood of Darkness. We will be working very close beside the GE.

I'm not entirely sure about the backstory on how the situation was handled, perhaps someone can help fill that void.

For your purposes, see that you've been enlisted by the Empire and sent to the Academy on Korriban. You will act as a member of the Sith Council, but your ties will forever be with the Empire. Kindly like a "Spy" if you will.

Thanks for the info. Didn't really help in terms of a back story IC. Do the citizens of the Empire have a running back story IC to cover their departure?

I hadn't realized that Sinistra and Gideon both left the site for good...this saddens me.

If you two still wanna be involved with the Empire, the more the merrier.

So, after reading, re-reading, and reading the post again, trying not to choke on the thick stench of hypocrisy that was in the air about said post, and allowing you a chance to review and potentially revise your post, it is time to make a response.


Oh I assure you I have considered each and every single so called point you have tried making, and have come back with well thought out and supportable responses. I am not sure where you believe this haphazardness is coming from, but I suggest you read some of your own comments and review the haphazardness of them, before trying to claim that I am making haphazard comments.


Let's start with this point, particularly the part where for starters the Vanish-2 is a "military grade sensor mask" that fooled military grade scanners into seeing "a single and uninterrupted section of space". Let's start be reviewing the definition of single: adjective, only one. Let's also review the definition of uninterrupted: adjective, without a break in continuity. So pray tell, where exactly is this empty space that you keep refering to that these weapons would be creating? This thing literally mimics the conditions around it in every scanable way to ensure there is no empty space revealing what is being hidden. I mean, who would design something that would make something appear as a giant missing section of space that was so obviously a trick that you would pick up on it?

now, let's move on to the context in which I mentioned the Vanish 2, just to remind you, here is a quote from your post in the GR thread:

to whit I replied with this:

Now, there is a couple points to mention here, the first being that Vanish-2's were used exclusively on ships of any size, hence why their costs were in the millions, the second being that Vanish-2's were never used on anything smaller than a ship. The third point I would like to point out, is that I never explicitly stated that I was using Vanish-2's, I was merely using the Vanish-2 to help describe just how a sensor masking system worked, since you were not sure what they did, and the Vanish-2's article states that "The Vanish 2 worked like most sensor masks".
What I did state, however, was that I was using something that was a lot smaller that worked on the same principles, since the Vanish-2 isn't the only kind of sensor masking system in existence. Therefore what I am using would still be military grade, but would be cheaper in price due to the smaller size. Which begs the question as to how it is that a civilian scanner system, would pick up a military grade piece of hardware that fools military grade scanners, based on a non-existent annomaly?

ALSO: there is 30,000 people per transport, that is the population of Winsford, England per transport, with 6 of these arriving at once, which equates to 180,000 which is roughly the entire population of Knoxville, Tennessee arriving at the same time, all with their own cargo. And you think 225 crates (of different shape, size, and colour) would stand out, in all thousand or so crates passing through at the SAME EXACT time? especially considering my points about the masking? (note these statistics are as of 2005)

See, this is a haphazard comment if I ever saw one. But let's go into the details of this, once more to point out why this would not work out the way you think it would. Coruscant has a permanent residency of 1 Trillion People (with the estimated actual count to be three times this many), with a few hundred thousand or so non-permamnent residents, and is a Ecumenopolis (a city made of the whole world) with 5,127 city levels built on it, with more traffic, tunnels and buildings than I care to count. Now taking these into account, there would undoubtedly be thousands of radiation sources that would be similar to the one you are using to track the crates, not to mention there is over 5,000 levels to the planet, meaning there is literally thousands of levels of buildings between your ship and the crates at different points in time. It's why Star Wars invented tracking devices, to avoid such untrust worthy methods such as radiation marking.
Also, please explain to me how public access area's such as streets, entrance walkways, public lobbies, entrance to loading docks, and abandoned/empty factories in the works are vital places? also, explosives wise, there was hardly enough to blow up half the city, but there was enough to cause distractions however...


considering the Empire and Republic can muster armies that consist of hundreds of thousands of troops, 1500 people is small compared to what could have been used. attacking the government? atm it's more like marching on them. attacking the infrastructure? uhm no, not unless things that are not used any more and have one explosive blown up near them to cause a distraction is considered a piece of infrastructure. attacking reinforcements? well I'd like to hope Coruscant's defence army was not housed in only three military compounds, since that is a fuck load of people to fit into only three places, in fact I'd imagine there would be 2-3 more such bases with more men. It just so happened that I needed the bases to hijack some LAAT's to get up to the three hypervelocity guns located on the Stenax Moons in orbit to help create further distractions whilst leading the attack on the government.
Uhm, you do realize these are Storm Commando's that I'm using, the guys who's day job was to go around invoking an unholy fear of god into people that thought about leaving the Empire or causing dissent, right? These guys are Imperial Commando's, tattoo's with Imperial markings would be a bad idea for any operation designed at keeping people in the Empire, especially if the plan is to make the attack look like another force. Also, need I remind you, JvS and Star Wars canon have seen a fuck load of different Empire's, I mean you got the Galactic Empire itself, the Fel Dynasty, the Imperial Remnant, and in JvS, wearing scouttrooper-esque armour does not a Galactic Imperial make... There is also a thing called warlords, whom owe allegiance to no one (Ander Tagira anyone) that can also make use of the same armour and weapons and ships, and yet they are not Imperial. Hell, the announcement in orbit basically sets them apart from the Empire. But I guess we just make leaps in logic now and assume you are either with the Republic if you use clone troopers, or the empire if you use stromtrooper-esque soldiers right?


You inform the attacked party about your intention did you say, well, let me stop you right there:

you were saying?

I will perhaps grant you that writing my way past customs was a bit of a shitty move, but I still await explanation of these so called "vital parts of the Works, 500 Republica" that you keep refering to... Also I do believe I am currently awaiting responses from the defender at the moment... On another note, if you are also refering to mentioning the vehicles in the military compounds, perhaps you should have a read of Corsucant's planetary guide to see that I am merely refering to your own defences and not making them up or anything. Also, I am not sure how the Republic would miss me posting in any of their own threads, so i doubt I would have blown shit up before anyone responded.


Uhm, actually, One person can write 1500 soldiers infiltrating Coruscant, and I do believe I am doing it right now. Also, there was plenty of detail, unless your math sucks, then you would notice the 1500 commando's were divided into 5 battalions (1500 / 5 = 300), a fact which is mentioned on my profile (but I guess reading profiles is overrated, right?). These are further divided into roguhly 5-10 people per transport/taxi.


You have a chance to reply, to be fair, i'm not really hiding anything, so detection isn't that much of an issue... I mean you have a perfectly good chance to dodge most of the incoming fire and make your reply...


Yeah, I could have run into fifteen fleets, and it still wouldn't have been a problem, there is a reason I disabled the reactor safety protocols on the Victory II's, in case that did happen, the idea is to cause as much damage and be as much of a distraction as possible.
I must say, I find your incessant need to act like the be-all-end-all of involvement for this attack and anything between the Republic and Empire to be quite bothersome, and borderline, if I may be so bold as to use your own comment, egotripping as far as how important you consider yourself. Let me make this very clear, bateman and his fancy spy network, have your little charity ball to keep up your ideal dream of the cold war going. Meanwhile, as I made very clear when I announced this, I have no need for such tom-foolery and intend to finally deal out some retribution for people's actions IC, so that they stop acting like knock-off palpatine's (which honestly is an insult to palp's) and actually consider their actions (cause ya know, not everyone was a coniving, scheming con of a bitch just out for more power for themselves).
If you want to run your spy network for the Empire, that's cool, and I wont try to tell you how to run it or try get involved with it. So I'd appreciate it if you didn't try forcing yourself into my side of this attack. As for the success or failure of this attack, It is actually going well, I've rolled with pretty much most of your moves, meanwhilst, you've wasted time you could be using to beat me IC, complaining about things OOC (some of which were because you failed to properly read my posts).
As I've stated before, and as Xeo/Panno has expressed, I'm more willing to just roll with things as they are, then restart it all now.

Krzesimir Viggo , I would like to thank you for your character's reaction to Bane ordering him to stand down. As Errol and I have a story line planned.

No worries, just out of curiosity does Bane outrank Pellaeon or was that just a convenient card to play? (Isn't really sure how the current hierarchy is organized)

Convenient card to play is what I was going for.
