While several events still need to get concluded, before stuff kinda gets rolling regarding the Resistance and the new situation which Corellia and its allies face, I would like to ask all interested rebells, freelancers, resistance fighters and force users, whether they would actually apply for a smaller event, which I could actually imagine being more fun, if it's properly roleplayed than just being another free entry to the ship's list. Given that I currently have hardly an idea what to add on a potential senator fleet for Linuy Findos, I recently stumbled upon the Lucrehulk Core Ship - though not as impressive as the complete Lucrehulk, I realized that it could be nontheless an interesting capital ship type for a potential future resistance force due to it's somewhat okay-ish armament and its ability to function as some sort of mobile base. So in short: Linuy might add a ship of this type at the end of the event to the fleet list. Rough storyline & mission:War has changed the galaxy once more. With the fall of the Galactic Alliance at Dac by the hands of the First Order, Corellia and the remaining free worlds outside of the First Order's borders stand alone against the might of a leviathan, mighty enough to crush any possible resistance it faces. Having witnessed the horrors of the Battle of Mon Calamari herself, Senator Linuy Findos is aware that a continuation of the war against the Imperials in order to liberate the galaxy from its tyranny is hardly an option - if those, who were still left, were willing to turn the tides, they had not only to reorganize themselves but to obtain ships and weaponry, which allowed them to constantly harass the ursurpers, potentially even allowing them to drive them out of the systems they recently attempted to annex.
As recent news of the Blackguard's newest expansion into Grand Confederacy territory begins to spread, Findos sees an opportunity within the tides of war from which a newly created resistance force could profit. Neimoidian turncoats from Separatist territory claim that the war efforts of the Grand Confederacy are reaching it's final tribute, as they lose more and more systems per day towards the military forces of the Sith. Yet their knowledge about the remaining wharfts of the Outer Rim Separatists could be helpful in Findos' current plans. Months ago the production of new Lucrehulk Controll ships was ordered by the Confederacy's leadership in order to spread the movement across the galaxy - and although hardly any of these controll ships had been finished entirely, the core ships themselves are theoretically functional.
Knowing that any negotiations with the remaining Separatists would only be brought to deaf ears, the Neimoidian senator is already planning a heist upon the facilities in order to obtain the core ships before they face total destruction by the Blackguard's forces. Gathering a task force, Senator Findos will lead the heist in personal, having arranged already the preparations for the infiltration mission, as time is running against them. With the Outer Rim falling slowly under the influence of the Dark Side, the Resistance has to hurry if it wants to secure valuable vessels from another dying faction, who underestimated the strength of the galaxy's current dominating empires.Potential heist location:-Utapau -any former Grand Confederacy world, to where the Blackguard hasn't expanded (yet) Who can preferably participate/is likely to get involved?- Resistance - Corellia & affiliated members - Jedi - any former ally of the Grand Confederacy, who somewhat wants to help out the Resistance - Blackguard (as side antagonists/those who accidentally stumble into the whole heist thing, if we want the story line to get more dramatic) - anyone else, who somehow could benefit from this event So yeah, feel free to apply, if people would be interested in this kind of story line. Feel also free to add suggestions, if I overlooked things or if there are problems within the introduction post. It's 4am in the morning in Central Europe and I'm quite tired, so mistakes can happen. Other than that, I hope to provide a small functioning storyline, which is enjoyable for every participant and also helps us to delve deeper into the whole "GA is dead, maybe a gouvernment-independent resistance force is needed once more"-idea with our characters.

So first things first, I like this idea and have a few characters that could help you. One is a Smuggler and another is a former Soldier for the GA(although he's going to be fighting a big bad Zabrak, who likes spilling blood.)
Secondly, I want to let you know about the Database of Ships, you can submit the Lucrehulk Core Ship and get it approved.

I'm aware of that, since I submitted stuff with my other two accounts, so... might give it a try. Both your characters would be welcome, though of course it's up to you, who would join the party.

Since things are going slowly on this character, and I want to write more dogfights, color me interested.

Alright, major issue I wish to discuss, although it can be fixed in one or many ways. Solely asking here for suggestions, which approach would be the best one to go. When reading up stuff regarding the Lucrehulk-Class Core ships, I realized that these have the following issue: There's no Hyperdrive equipped, thus rendering the entire ship unable to leave the system from where we will steal it. It's one question I should have asked myself before bringing up the entire mission, since it's logical that an unattached part of a ship might not have actual hyperdrive engines attached to it, but well, there are several options how we could bypass it before we start the actual mission. 1) If we can't steal the core, steal the entire controllship! The most obvious choice would be to take the entire ship as it is in either it's glorious ~2,400 meters length or straight away the 3,100 meters battleship version (which might be more likely to be encountered on the Separatist side), since it would be within the parameters of personal fleet size. Furthermore the minimal crew limit for both versions would be around 25-150 men in order to command it, thus hardly changing anything on the initial goal. Only problem would be that Linuy would have to sacrifice the Spark of Nen in order to keep up with the personal fleet limit. Whether we sacrifice the Majestic-class cruiser within the mission, while transfering a portion of the crew (hopefully a large one) to the new ship or simply argue that Linuy leaves the ship and the former GA commanders in Corellian employment we could still decide later on. However, I wouldn't complain too much, since one entire Lucrehulk is still a good vessel - while not a super weapon which has chances to best the First Order within one singular battle. It would mostly remain a mobile base ship for the Resistance task force. 2) We steal the ship, but sacrifice the ring and upgrade it afterwards. Probably the option I wouldn't necessarily prefer, but one which might also be working out with custom ship rules. If we simply get up a Resistance design for the Core ship, where we attach a hyperdrive engine once the ship was secured completely, we could let it work out as a custom variant of the regular Core ship. Situation would be similiar as in 1), only with the difference, that we somewhat lose during the escape 2/3 of the entire ring section, thus reducing the ship solely to its core. Most dramatic escape from something the Separatists/the Blackguard brings up in order to shoot us down, so immense that I hardly even know if it would be a possible scenario in either Canon or Legends. Only important part is that somehow the hyperdrive engines of the Lucrehulk survive this catastrophe - basically a sinking ship somehow surviving against all odds. In aftermath though the coreship could get the hyperdrive attached towards its main core, thus granting us solely the mattering parts of this mission - and reducing the ship's size immensely. Not the version I would prefer as it feels like cheating the system, but also an option. 3) We steal a ship, which is nearly the same thing! So, luckily for me there are many Separatist ships out there - and to make it even better we have those beauties also existing in Canon and Legends: starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Separatist_supply_shipSlightly bigger than the core ship, it pretty much offers a similiar role to what the Lucrehulk core ship can technically do, while it's cargo capacity could pretty much allow it to get played out as an entire mobile base. Only problem we face here is that we don't have any numbers of its complement, how many crew members are required to get this thing going in full operational mode, how many weapon systems it features, how many star fighters it can hold and so on. Plus we neither know whether it is able to land on the surface of a planet like the core ships are able to do so, thus also limiting our use for this vessel for space entirely. This one would be the easiest choice, as I can easily feature it within my personal fleet without even stretching the personal fleet limit at all, but would definitly require a detailed entry within the ship database in regards of numbers. 4) Completely different scenario, completely different capital ship heist! This would be the least favorable option, but I guess there might be better capital ship choices, which could serve as a mobile base rather than the proposed Lucrehulk Core Ship. Kinda try to aim for something else rather than the obvious MonCalamari-cruiser in order to keep a potential Resistance base interesting, while providing it a good backstory, so if there are better suggestions than mine, feel free to bring them up. Until this point I really believed in the core ship before realizing the problematics - thus starting from scratch again could be better. So yeah, hope you can help me out. Currently favoring either option 1 or 3, but so far I'm undecided.

I could be down for this, and bring some clone troopers in as well.

Alright, here it begins: boards.jedivsith.com/thread/81/corellias-open-orbit?page=9&scrollTo=122873We might need to figure out a good way how to introduce Drez, if he still wishes to participate, but other than that now there's the chance to join up with the squadron. I have decided to go for option 1, turning the Majestic-class cruiser I currently possess into our vessel of choice to enter Utapau, the planet of choice for the mission. We will steal one Lucrehulk core ship from the surface, somewhat sacrifice the cruiser in the process during the escape as we attach the core ship to the ring section and flee with the entire Lucrehulk-class battleship. So far the rough story draft, we can still change it or apply changes, if better solutions are being proposed.

So. This sounds fun. Where, when and what would you want a member of the Blackguard to do?

Not only the blackguard but where would a Jensaarai and former member of the GRPC go beyond the link?

Hey,
so regarding the Blackguard it would be good if we encounter them near the end of the mission, either as an invading force, which gets the fun of smashing droid ships, while this could be utilized for the escape of the Lucrehulk as some sort of diversion, since the Blackguard currently conquers territory within former Separatist space (perhaps we also recieve some fire, since our agenda probably isn't seen as good as the one of the Separatists, I guess) .
As regarding the Jensaarai I assume that we could work it somehow out over @drez, as he had shown interest within this mission as well. Maybe we recieve the help during the mission, because the Separatists made some unfavorable deals with you or because of other reasons (since the Lucrehulk is planned to be one of many potential startups for the Resistance and the ideas of the Resistance might appeal to your character as well, since there's a good chance that a guerilla faction with a good mobile base might be able to damage the First Order or in general the Dark Side of the Force quite well, depending on the argument). These would be my thoughts at least, but we could work out something else as well.

I do like the idea of having a deal with you.
One of the things that was about to happen with the GCOR was a civil war which would eliminate all political rivals for the Gulch being taken out. We could potentially write that into it making it more believable that the Jensaarai would jump ship from them. Where should I go to meet up with Linuy or whomever would contact me for this mission?

Sorry for the long delay on this, I might hopefully be able to continiue the event. Who would be still in for it?

I'd like to participate - not with any Yuuzhan Vong, of course. Thinking about introducing a non-Vong PC and would appreciate a first storyline to work with.

Then welcome aboard, I guess. Most types of characters would fit the scenario, as long as they're not Imperials or Blackguard members (unless of course we need a PC enemy from which we need to escape, though I guess that's only relevant for the lategame/end of the mission ), so would definitly look forward it.

I certainly am still interested in this and am willing to play the 'bad guy', naturally. So, whenever you are ready for the Blackguard to step in, let me know and I will find a way to do so.
