I'll be partaking of the fleet engagement over Ossus in some capacity. More to come.

I'll be there. I do wonder what happened to a number of Mandos though - some haven't made the crossover from 1.5 perhaps?

Ok. So If any of you havent noticed...the whills drastically cut down the amount of ships one can have in their fleet. At least open board. So, instead of simply making ships disappear, I have an idea for a dramatic conclusion to the Jedi/Mando/anyone else War in which everyone essentially loses all thier ships (or at least all but the one(s) they have significant attachment too. That way we can at least have fireworks instead of having them all just go "Poof" and disappear. Then everyone is completely free to redo their own fleets in a "everyone is stunned/beaten into a ceasefire/peace"
It involves me blowing up a planet and throwing down the gauntlet at the Jedi/Sith/Anyone else and threatening to keep on blowing up planets if they don't show up.
Thoughts?

. . .can we make it a Sith planet? :-P
I haven't heard much action of that angle of this storyline and I did volunteer to roll a Mando against the Sith when the time comes.

If the mandos are up for hiring mercenaries I'd be happy to throw together a team and show up for a scuffle or three.

There was talk of a superweapon, actually, and a colossal battle to destroy it, in the early days. Makes sense to me to resurrect the idea, though I think it would probably need to be in the end game of the war, which would mean not yet and probably not all too soon.
But, basically, the simple version of the idea was that the Sith had been toying with superweapon designs on some planet or another, Kuat, I believe, though I suppose it doesn't matter. The Mandos, through cunning and genius and no small amount of evil-doing, took the superweapon in question, completed it, and that led to the Sith approaching the Jedi and saying "Look. I don't like you, you don't like me, but there's something you need to know. We built a thing. Now the Mandos have it. We don't want to be hit with that weapon, you don't want to be hit with that weapon, so let's just combine forces and destroy the thing, kay?"
Of course, I imagine the Sith themselves would try and reclaim it, through their sneaky ways, though of course, Superweapon ban and all that, the logical conclusion is that the Jedi succeed in destroying it.

It would take me time to build everything IC correctly. So the rest of the war could mostly take place by the time the threat emerges, or at least the war would reach a crescendo.

I have some plans for a battle surrounding a superweapon as well, but this one already exists from the old days of 1.0, and it probably wouldn't be a conclusion to the war, just a battle along the way.

I would love to lose my fleet to a superweapon of some sort... Well technically it's a republic fleet, but they don't have to know that  it would also be kinda cool to have a technical group of force users get the plans for said superweapon and think tank up ideas how to destroy it. |

Dav's shiny new Mando, for sure. Xeo's Mando, mayhaps. And I should imagine that Ashrah and Admi will get in on things. Cmon you guys dont want some of the pint sized slasher? |

I have some plans for a battle surrounding a superweapon as well, but this one already exists from the old days of 1.0, and it probably wouldn't be a conclusion to the war, just a battle along the way. Well, there needs to be just one Superweapon, and it needs to be very, very specific in how it fits in to this all. It can't just be any-old thing with any-old person building it, the Superweapon was going to be a very important and pivotal part of the plot, crucial, in many ways. So before either of those get rolling ahead, you guys should speak to Corr and Ashrah and get some more details of what they originally had planned with the Sith. |

I'll hash it out with Taung first. My idea doesn't have to be a part of this war, it just would make sense for it to be.

So a random thought, what if instead of the sith (since most of them seem to have lost interest) what if the MANDOS build the superweapon. A planet slagging ship ENCASE ENTIRELY IN BESKAR. Yes it seems absolutely crazy and unrealistic, but what if they have been building this thing secretly for years and used some super magical deposit of the metal that they found just as magically and that will be destroyed so no one really cares anyway. The jedi (and any sith that still might want to be involved) send a team to infiltrate it from the inside and destroy it as a massive space battle occurs around them. Sneaking around they eventually are able to destroy it. Alternately the team makes it in once, fails to sabatauge it but get away with schematics so the next time they do it they know exactly where to hit it although they lose a member or two to death or capture, and then epic battle/rescue mission/search and destroy mission occurs.
Just a random thought.

Yeah, unfortunately my RL duties have been keeping me far more occupied that I would really care for, though such is the profession I've chosen. I have my own plans concerning this "take over," though most of it is aftermath material that'll make the mando's apparent victory nothing more than smoke 'n' mirrors, hollow stuff.
Frankly, as I've stated before, I'm not comfortable with the Mandos defeating EVERYTHING in their path, as there are bound to be forces equal, or better, to the task of repelling them, though I've seen this as an opportunity for Jaecyn to take the steps he sees as necessary in dealing with the Mandalorians.

It's not so much everything in their path, but they need a few victories before the Jedi and Republic get organised and start giving it back. Like the allies in WWII, or the Republic in the Yuuzhan Vong, we need to be sent reeling by their first few punches before we start swinging back.
Believe me, when we do, it'll rock their brains inside their buy'ce so hard their children's children's children will be feeling the concussion.
And as far as the Superweapon goes, everyone who wants to do something surrounding it: Talk. To. Corr.
It was at least 50% his plan to begin with, and there are a lot of things he has already planned and even, to a very small extent, put into action. He's in charge of anything Superweapon related, so you really need to drop him a line before getting ahead of yourselves.

The Superweapon plan was hatched by Sin before the old site shit itself. As far as I know, as Andi and i have discussed on FB, the Superweapon portion is still a Go. It will be the point at which the Sith and Jedi join forces.
After we, the mandos. win a couple of decisive battles, I fully expect us to be handed a couple losses. I LOVE Taungs idea for the fleets. It's brilliant and gets 2 biirds stoned at once. Or whatever. LET'S DO IT!!!

You're not the only one with detailed plans, Dav. I've been planning this since before there was a Mandalorian crusade against Force users. It just seemed like it might end up fitting into this RP. If not, I'll do it separately. I'll talk to Corr when it's appropriate to do so, but as far as I can tell, we're many months from being ready for another story arc, so calm down.

Just to remind people. The minor waves of droid attacks happen every half hour IN CHARACTER. There is no way in Sheol that I'm going to actually RP out 17,000 droids dying in groups of 10-20. It just isn't going to happen. The minor waves are assumed to be dealt with by someone at the temple, so each attack doesn't have to be written out. However, if you want/need a enemy for whatever reason that you dream up, feel free to use the attacks. just be aware that the clearing around the temple is going to be fairly heavily scattered with broken droids & the occasional dead vehicle. Basically, the field around the Temple is going to look like a battlefield from WWI (look it up on google if you don't know what those look like).
The most droids that will be in a minor wave is 20. You can have fewer than that, but any more needs to be worked out with this account (send me a PM or post on this thread). Any attack that features a vehicle will also be a major attack & RPed (though having wrecked vehicles from previous attacks is fine). The vehicles in the attack are: AATs, AT-TEs, & MTTs.
Mandos wishing to attack but that by themselves can join up with one of the minor waves (IE take control of 10-20 droids), but be aware that the droids are still controlled IC by Aya, so they aren't going to be taking your orders IC. (you can still use them as a distraction to try & sneak into the Temple).
For example: one jedi could decide that they want to have their character injured, so they go out, RP trashing some droids, then get injured & head to the medbay to leave the remaining droids to others.
Another example is a person heading out into the battlefield between waves to try & scavenge resources (blaster gas is going to get a bit tight) or set up booby traps then having the next wave attack while they are out, & they must either flee back to the safety of the Temple or fight for their lives.
