The First Order - Planning and Recruitment Thread

Again, wrong account, sorry.

I too would love to raid the bejesus out of some crappy GA planet.

Excellent. Gentlemen, I therefore suggest we unite our fleets and raid the bejesus out of a very crappy GA planet, and a loved spot of the Jedi Order. I propose we raid the bejesus out of crappy Felucia.

Well, you can retreat down the Tanaab hyperlane, to bring you back into the Imperial core at Kuat - Felucia is well placed for assault from the side.

As for the Jedi... Considering they're already in the war and the Knights of Ren have already torched the library on Ossus, so I don't see the problem there.

Well firstly, not to sound like a grammar nazi, but you are referring to strategy, rather than tactics. Secondly, lightspeed is, as the name would suggest, the speed of light. It takes time for a distress signal to reach the combat fleets, and then even more time for those fleets to retreat back. How do you think the Sith held the capital of the Republic to ransom? Thirdly, should my fleet begin to retreat, they are practically safe upon entry into hyperspace - ignoring the use of immobilisers - as the only chance of a reinforcing fleet catching them once they were both racing towards each other at the speed of light is exceptionally improbable, the only way it would work is for them to literally collide, the chances of which are insanely low.

Now, defense fleets, orbital defenses and faction ships are a problem, but that's what makes it fun.

I think Vasari is right. Felucia is not a very good target both for IC character reasons as Vasari explained but also because I'd imagine that Nicademus Delvardus IV has made somewhat scripted plans with the other side and I don't think raiding such a planet now without speaking to the people running the war storyline as a whole is a good idea.

Felucia has been the home of the Jedi Order for a long time. The planet has a very strong RP connection to the Force and many warriors of the light and Darkside have journeyed there for such a reason. its core also holds one of the Strongest Darkside Force Nexi in the Galaxy which the Jedi have been attempting to quell for many years on JvS (there was even a war fought over it on 1.5). The VALUE of the planet for me at least is that connection to the Darkside - putting a few Sith Lords on that planet could undo everything the Jedi have been trying to do there for the last decade.

Value for the First Order... the Knights of Ren didn't get much when they took Ossus - I would assume because everything was moved to Felucia. The Library on Felucia is by no means as grand as the one on Ossus, but that is where I would have put anything that made it off Ossus until a suitable replacement could be found. If the Knights of Ren didn't find what they wanted there... it is most assuredly on Felucia - guarded by almost every Jedi Player in the Galaxy. It by no means a "Crappy" planet - and Felucia's fall would be a great victory for the First Order but a loss there would be crippling as well.

There's so many other GA planets out there. We don't need to go for Felucia. It would be just as easy and fun for us to raid some other GA planet.

Let's leave Felucia for whatever this storylines leaders have worked out OOC? As much as IC I'd love to destroy the Jedi Order, OOC we shouldn't go and destroy what the writers there have been building. Not like this anyway.

Technically the clones wars began on Geonosis... note the similarity to the word Genesis... which is 'the beginning'.

ironically enough after Mace Windu's failed assassination attempt Sidius turned everything around on him and labled him as the one who started the clone wars to take over the galactic republic. Sidius even went so far as to say that Mace Windu ordered the Attack on Geonosis, which was a violation of a perfectly legal public execution by the Geonosian government. Labeling both him and the entire Jedi Order as traitors allowed him to blame the clones wars completely on them.

but its ok...
