Well, the station is a poodoo-hole for everyone at the minute. Between Duke's EMP bomb and Dav and Diamonte's sabotage, it's 4200 meters of dead systems, death traps, and malfunctions. There's a few groups of soldiers and civilians that didn't escape in the evacuation hiding in maintenance ducts and back rooms of shops and things like that - the core group that will be focused on for storytelling purposes will, until they're found and captured, be hiding up in the Onyx Dragon. We're just establishing those characters now, really. The Mandos, on the flipside, need to start securing vital areas, start work on repairs, perhaps end up in a few firefights with pockets of resistance still scattered about. And it would be nice to establish just how frustrating the central computer lock-out is for the occupiers, too.
So... anything you might expect to find and think could be fun to write, really. Areas where artificial gravity is down or faulty, areas with hull breaches exposing the corridors to open space, searches of the residential suites, setting up shop in the control centre, trying to find and gain access to various maintenance rooms in the engineering area, searching the ships that were left behind for nice shoes and pretty dresses or whatever... I'm open to ideas. Then we can build up to the resistance groups getting captured, rounded up, and turned into POWs and labourers.

I think I have an idea on where to start then…. *Grins* I'll lead with something and leave it open to response.

I'll start with three different units.
2x GALSAF Black Ops squads: These guys will be focused on securing Yavin personnel and forces. Their mission will run throughout all accessible sections of the station, capturing personnel and killing/capturing enemy forces. Open to response from anyone involved. I'll set their position and situation up, feel free to jump in at that point.
1x GALSAF Commando Company: Probably from 4th Battation, 1st Infantry Brigade Commando Team. These guys will run support against Yavin forces, primarily. Again, I'll set the situation up, and it will be open to response from anyone who wants in. They will work in conjunction with the Black Operations squads, though not directly. BO will capture and transfer custody over to the Commandos. Commandos will capture and keep custody. We will use the Barracks sectors as POW control points and Casualty Collection Points for both sides, treating anyone who ends up there, friend or foe.
1x GALSAF Commando Company: Probably from the same Battalion, though these guys will be focusing on securing repair equipment and materials necessary to repair critical sections of the station. They are less combat focused, but any engagements are welcome.

Oh, as for securing the control centers and breaking those encryptions, I'm not as good a writer in those areas, so hopefully someone else can pick that up.

Well, where as it's an IC goal, the OOC caveat is that breaking the encryptions will fail. There will be some work arounds to be made to restore some functionality to the station, but the computer library, the weapon systems, and a great deal of the more powerful sensor and comms systems will remain locked out throughout the occupation. Still, fair enough. Floor is open to anyone who wants in on the work arounds and stuff.

Sorry that took me so long. Busy week, first week of a new job and all that... Right. I have requested a new thread, the Massassi River. This will be where the "Siege Cannon" will be set up (until it's destruction), and can be used for various battle points throughout both this strike and the rest of the Siege. As soon as it is up and running, that thread, the Great Temple thread, and the Blueleaf Cluster thread can all be on Day Two and can begin that particular siege. My sole request is that whoever starts it sticks THE SIEGE Day Two at the top of the first post of this battle.

I'd love to! (IF I happen to be that person. lol)
Sounds like a plan. Now, I can't remember who that siege cannon actually belonged to (I know it's Mandalorian at least), but is there anyone in particular who's supposed to be working it? If not, I'll volunteer, keep it firing and what not during the battle, and maybe fend off a couple attacks on it successfully (or not!).
Other than that……GALSAF is ready to go. We've got one full company of armor and commandos on the ground, with three in reserve as well as our two starfighter flights ready to bomb ground targets and engage other pilots. I'm not sure where all the OTHER folks stand but…I'm here.
Cheers and beers, keep me posted. (No pun intended)
EDIT: Forgot to ask…one company of armor for our lot includes 4 AT-TE's, 4 TX-130 fighter tanks, and an assortment of other equipment, nothing too huge. We're at max combat effectiveness, so this one company of armor and commandos will pack a punch. We won't see mass casualties or the like, considering how good these guys are. But I'm thinking that's all we'll need to bother with, especially with the emphasis on GENERAL battle coverage, nothing fancy. But I'm not sure what forces the Jedi are bringing to the game, so I'd just like our proportions to be right. (There's no point writing if one side accidentally brings a butter knife to a gun fight, 'cause we all know how that would end. hahaha)

Oh... forgot to mention. Massassi river is now up for use for the Day Two fighting, and the Great Temple has been launched onto Day Two as well. If people want to get started on the assault and the bit with the siege cannon, then feel free to begin rolling that forward.

I can write the bit with the siege cannon (the one that I wrote getting dropped in the first day of the invasion, right?)
As for the assault on the Temple itself, I've got forces on the way and just covered our approach towards the Massassi River. I'm waiting on a response from the Mandalorian writers, however, so they can keep pace, seeing as how our forces are traveling together.

That's the cannon. It's also the one referenced on the sub-hangar RP set on Day Two.
Speaking of - has anyone seen Dr. Levi?

Gotcha. I'll get on it!
I have no idea who Dr. Levi is. Probably in the Caribbean, neglecting his patients. Like most doctors.

If possible, I could use some sort of Jedi interruption for our operators on Yavin Station. I've got up a couple of posts, but I can't do too much more without other writers involved, lol.
