In This quest, you will play as an imperial officer in the aftermath of Endor, in the Legends timeline. You will begin low, amongst the naval officers in the Smaller vessels, and may be able to rise to become your own warlord, or at least survive to see the end of the war or your own retirement.

You are Slythas Caime, and you are moderately Hungover this Early morning.

Ever since your scandal at the academy, you'd been expecting to be kicked out, but since the Kriffing Death Star had been blown up those years ago, the resulting mass loss of some of the Navy's brightest meant that with yoir grades, you probably could have killed your instructors and still been thrown out here. Albeit with a few more guards.

Speaking of that spectacular stunt you pulled, youre tryin to recall what it was. Was it...

The Irreputable may have been a dead end posting, but that doesnt mean its not a worthless vessel. With the lack of outposts in this far out area and a need to stay mobile to investigate smugglers, your Irreputable had its Wing of 4 TIE/Ln squadrons, 2 TIE Bombers, and 1 Squadron of special fighters. Well special, because they had shields and hyperdrivea

Your Squadron of ARCs was a nice addition, especialy since they could go on long range patrols of their own accord, kept your job nice and cushy, and kept your best pilot, Lt. Drang, callsign "Chatterbox" from talking your ears off, only his squadron had to suffer.

Beyond him though, your crew was mostly composed of what would be "political appointments". Not necessarily bad crew mostly, but most had done something or other to piss off someone important. Your crew listened well though when the few calls to action occurred and you needed to fight. You also left regulations loose onboard, meaning most crewmen beyond your uptight XO, Cranston were about as disheveled as you on most days.

Cranston though, was different today. As you arrived to the bridge, you noted his Grave look was one of more then just horror at the crews discipline today.

"Commander, we've got a priority One broadcast coming in from Occupation Command at Bespin." Do you want me to take a message as usual, or do you want to take this one. It seems genuinely urgent this time."

The last time a Priority One message came in was... well actually they never did. Something must be up today.

>"Cranston, if they needed something from us it cant be urgent, we're too far out and I'm too hungover. Take a message"

>"I'll take it in the conference room, Cranston, you have the Bridge"

As you key in the transmission, you see the Transparent blue figure of your Fleet's leader, Admiral Harnock appear. He is an older man of Clone Wars Vintage, the kind with nothing notable under his belt but longevity and friends who made it higher then him.

"Commander Caime, there has been a Development of the utmost importance, and you have marching orders to prove yourself and your crew. The Emperor is dead, and-"

"The Emperor! What happened? A coup? or the Rebels?"

"The details are hazy, the news is coming from COruscant as well as orders to slow the speed of its spread. High command has gone dark and the only reports are that of some admirals looting or engaging their political rivals in nearby sectors. We need to consolidate while the rebel sympathizers don't know the news, however, and regroup our fleet here at Bespin. You are to place yourself in orbit of Virgillia, and escort the evacuating Garrison out, as well as destroy the local government's patrol fleet to prevent it from being used against us later."

He likely wouldnt mind you attempting that, but you have one vessel, The local fleet is mostly some IPVs without hyperspaces, a Nebulon B and a Lancer, as well as local Y wings and TIE/lns. You could try convincing the Garrison transports for a boarding action if you can disable the garrison ships, but your ship has no turbolasers, ion cannons or heavy anti capital weapons beyond your bombers.

>>4930959
I say we at least make an attempt for the Lancer and Nebulon B, probably the Y wings as well.

I second this. Let's see if we can whip up an ad hoc boarding action. If they don't expect a fight, we might get storm troopers on board through deception

"Yes Sir, I will embark immediately."

"See to it that you hurry, you should be able to catch the fleet moored if they aren't suspecting anything from our movements below."

Come to think of it, you do think you can salvage at least the flagship of the patrol, the
Nebulon Class, Pride of Virgillia. If you had to leave here with everything you can take, might as well get the kitchen sink while you're at it.

With the end of the transmission, you return to the XO and explain the situation, Mission, as well as your idea.

"Emperor's Bones... probably not a good saying anymore is it, but if he's gone and it's as they say, the admiralty may be about to go into chaos. Grabbing a few extra vessels could definitely be useful. but the question is how to board them. We could feign inspections with the Ground forces, but that would only get a limited force aboard before they get the idea somethings wrong. The other option would be to engage them and deal enough damage to force a surrender, hopefully the ships come out intact enough for us to bring out. Beyond those, do you have any ideas sir?"

> No, a Limited Boarding may be best.

Let’s have an inspection team seize critical areas on board, allowing us to board additional forces, as well as threaten the ship with our bombers should we need to. As our team should have control of the bridge at the very least if not engineering areas such as the shield generators.

Several minutes after exiting hyperspace near Virgillia, you transmit commands to the garrison, who detail 2 Assault Transports of Army troopers to your operation. As your shuttles begin their movement, you have 30 minutes until they arrive, but complications begin immediately.

Answer the Fleet

You answer the fleet to one of your warmer working relations, one Captain Slat Carmine, leader of the Patrol and a man you knew to appreciate your results over your uniform's level of starch. Unfortunately he was born and raised on Virgillia, and is a staunch patriot for his homeland.

Plus he never accepted your invites to your Sarlacc nights.

"Commander, I presume you have sonething to do with the arriving inspections?"

"Yes Captain, the ongoing shuttles and movements are part of a reshuffling of personnel in the sector. They want to perform an inspection and inventory before detailing new garrisons or priorities for patrol fleets. Nothing to worry about."

"Affirmative, and I presume you'll be escorting the convoy out? It'll be a shame if youre redeployed, I was thinking about going to your next tournament"

Your pleasant conversation with the Good Captain ends suddenly, when you see a blaster bolt bore a hole in his skull, and an army officer enters view.

Commander, I'm happy to report the bridge, Hangars and Reactor are under control. My 4th squad is currently airlocking any captured rebels, and all fighters are locked down in the Hangar."

"Excellent to hear Lieutenant, any news on the Lancer?" You were a little startled by the Violence of action, but you really couldn't argue with results

"Their shuttle entered and gunned down the captain when he arrived to greet the boarding team. It's fully under our control, but we arent trained in starship operations, so we're immobile. Please send crew soon."

An ensign in the bridge begins speaking up towards you as you kill the transmission. "Commander, Chatterbox wants permission to microjump into point blank and kill those IPVs before they get wise. Do i clear him to launch?"

Microjumps are dangerous but instantly close the gap, and you've had your Proton Torpedoes replaced with Heavy Solid bombs. Enough explosives in each one to rip one of those IPVs apart in a single blast. You've been sitting in your fighter with your crew for the past hour, doing final check ups and explaining the battle plan to your pilots, most of which are dumb enough or brave enough (you know all of them well enough to know its definitely the former) to follow you into the Unknown regions if you so asked.

Ever since he kept you and your pilots from biting the dust, cost the ship a paintjob and some crew, you've understood that so long as you and your men are under him, he won't leave you behind. the Carrier nearly sank that day, and though you know he got it from above for essentially retrieving what is administratively munitions, he made sure to never show frustrations at your pilots after.

fuckin lol, who knows maybe we just nocked out every command center which for some reason then vented the air in the ships and all ships will be able to be boarded and crewed from secondary bridges or locations. i mean hot damn could you imagine showing up with a small flotilla and the bonus we could get for going 'above and beyond for the empire' in the admirals eyes.

>>4931602
I believe the reason is obvious. Exile anyone who is better than you because they make you look bad through connections and the actual troublemakers who are A willing to take risks or B already went rogue so no longer a member. What you end up within the boonies is both the most skilled and those willing to gamble of all the Empire. They get results so long as you care not for their conduct.

The real question is therefore what is the Admiral like who also got booted here and does he know how to handle those kinds of people without the Empire bearing directly down upon them? The Admiral is either too good, too incompetent, or prone to trouble. So out of sight out of mind.

From your Command center, you watch a textbook bombing run from microjump sink 3 IPVs. You record the flight data and make notes to send this to your headmaster later to remind him you're still alive and prospering.

"Ensign, put the Governor through, it's time we announce our operation to him"

"Aye sir, do you want to do it from here or take him in private?"

>Humiliate him in front of your crew
>Laugh at him in the conference room

Beyond that, you need to split your crew between your 3 ship flotilla. you have enough crew to run your carrier, but can split off skeleton crews to basically bring the other 2 in, but will be useless. You could conscript the surviving crew to the empire's services, and disperse your stormtroopers aboard between them to keep the ships in line, but their ability and loyalty will be dubious. Another Option is to scuttle the 2 if you really want to piss the governor off while you speak to him, but that would have defeated the purpose of this whole exercise.

As you enter the conference room alone prepare yourself for the following fury, you begin wondering what the governor will be more horrified by, the theft of the ships or the killing of his men. You remember him as a rather callous figure more focused on the datapads of paperwork then truly wanting to be a leader, so he likely was furious on the loss of assets from your operation, and the army up and leaving.

"COMMANDER, I ASSUME YOU HAVE A DAMN GOOD EXPLANATION FOR ME NOT TO SUMMON THE FLEET TO BRING YOU A SWIFT EXECUTION?"

You never knew a Hologram could be so loud, but he's done it today." Governor, it's a pleasure to speak with you, regarding my-"

"Silence, TRAITOROUS SCUM, you're part of some sort of coup going on aren't you? I should have known a ship tainted with crew and men like you would have left the grace of order to become a petty pirate."

Oh, the news on the emperor likely hasnt made it here, do you want to break the news?

"Governor, if you will let me finish, I am here under orders from Command to retask your defence force to the Empire's own use."

"Under what pretense? The moffs will hear my case and have the Emperor's-"

"The Emperor is dead. What the moffs decide after is not of concern, right now my orders are to claim the garrison from your trash heap world and return it somewhere it can be of remote use to the Empire. I trust you can bring your complaints to a higher authority later, but until then, my orders are clear. Goodbye Governor."

After killing the feed and returning to the Bridge, your XO informs you your skeleton crews have your 2 ships in tow and are ready to begin the journey to Bespin. At best speed, you will take about a week to return. You could also delay your return by having the Arcs jump ahead and make sure you dont wonder into any traps along your path.

"Send Chatterbox ahead, he has free reign to clear the road or come back as he pleases"

=======================

You are Chatterbox, and you haven't even had the chance to finish telling your hangar crew about how well that bombing run went before Caimes wants you back in the air. You've never been one to have a busy schedule like this, so it's definitely a surprise to be moving as fast as he is having your men today. This mission is more familiar though, just simple recon.

Or so you'd thought, before that first jump landed you in a Tatooine-sized furball. You came out directly into one of the Sector's 2 ISDs surrounded by sinking pickets and a faltering TIE wing trying to hold waves of Starfortresses from reaching it. On the other end of space were a pair of Light Mon cal Cruisers launching X-wings and Y-wings into the furball to keep the Star fortress, lumber as they may, relatively clean. And it was working to be frank, you may be looking at this ISD's wreckage in a few, unless you commit fully into the dogfight.

"Tally Ho!" goes the crys as your squadron sweeps into the fight, dumping Torpedoes into every starfort and detonating her Magazines. The machines were tough but not enough to take multiple torpedo hits in a dense dogfight.

Some X-wings and other fighters thrown in by the Rebels were hit in the resulting cookoffs, while our own pilots rallied behind us, getting room to breathe while clearing the major worry off their back.

=================

"Commander Calrissian, the starforts are gone, and our fighter screen is faltering. Those new ARCs have thrown off the attack, and our squadrons are requesting we retreat to the main fleet and conserve our power for Bespin."

"Aye, that may be our best choice right now. If everything is going as expected on the ground, another Star Destroyer will be something to figure out after Cloud City is back in our hands."
=========================

The X-wings and A-wings start breaking off, and the Star Destroyer immediately calls its own fighters home, with the Enemy cruisers Hyperspacing soon after. You inform the ISD of your origin and set back to the Carrier, with orders from the Captain of the Destroyer to form in and become part of his escort.

---------------------------------------------------
Upon news of Chatterbox's return, you get handed the orders and are left with a choice:
Follow his orders as he outranks you, and bring him home to Bespin? or ignore him and take your flotilla alone. His ship would be a big help in keeping your convoy alive, but he could take credit for some of your accomplishments when you return, or even take your 2 captured ships. Going alone may be mroe dangerous however.

>Move to support the ISD Tenacious

>>4932597
>Move to support the ISD Tenacious
Though i don't like him getting the credit, we are in no state whatsoever to 'go at it alone'

We're already running on skeleton crews. We need people to be able to do this.

>>4932597
>Move to support the ISD Tenacious

if nothing else, it's a big target for anything that happens to attack us. Hopefully one big enough to distract from the carrier.

>>4932597
>Move to support the ISD Tenacious
>Pick up survivors from the wrecks and sinking ships to crew our captured ships

We're not giving up control of our prizes, so if that comes up I'd rather we go it alone. We'll pick up the survivor from the sinking ships and have them crew our prizes for the moment.

>>4932597
>Go it alone.

I'm sure there are more isolated groups that we can rescue from being overrun and recruit.

>>4932597

While he might outrank us, our orders come from higher up than him. We'll move in to support as a separate entity.
>>4932623
>Pick up survivors from the wrecks and sinking ships to crew our captured ships

Also this

>>4932627
While I do agree with that, we need a proper crew to fully man our vessels, so we'd need to jump in-system to pick up the survivors.

>>4932643
>While he might outrank us, our orders come from higher up than him. We'll move in to support as a separate entity.

I definitely like that interpretation of orders.

>>4932597
> Move to support the ISD Tenacious

I mean, it'd be best to help them out and maybe get a potential ally out of it.

>>4932647
For sure, though i feel we should be adamant that we report that we saved their asses.

Most importantly, we should make sure we are the first to deliver our report, send the ARCs in early to "recon" bespin before we arrive.

>>4932667
I agree, +1ing this prompt!

>>4932667
Not a bad idea. Getting the credit for getting the Empire's foot in the door for reclaiming Bespin, maybe a few new names to network with. . .

Yeah, that'd be a good idea.

>>4932667
+1 this is a smart way and hopefully while we are ‘scouting’ we can do some Recovery operations for the destroyed empire ships to bring our 2 skeleton ships up in numbers. The captain would have to be a giant moron and utterly heartless to deny this very sensible action to save competent and badly needed crew and to make sure the damaged vessel he is on isn’t blow out from under him on approach. Meanwhile we ride our star in the Admirals eyes and get favors and grow our rep as being for the common soldier and sailor

Your little convoy soon arrives in the scrapyard of a battlefield's aftermath. You see 2 Ugor Scrapships awaiting at the edges of the field waiting to start claiming their holy salvage as well. You aren't sure how they just seem to know where wrecks are but theyre damned good at it.

After writing your own report for filing once you arrive at base, you order your shuttles out to the search and rescue, to scrounge crew for your new escorts, while shielding the now depleted left flank of the Tenacious.

The Captain of Tenacious is Captain Marlo, a quiet, more reserved type, who as you understand it, requested posting in the rim long ago, and steadily rose to a Star Destroyer in the area. While he's never been a particularly brilliant fighter, his understanding of policing space are probably some of the best in the Navy.

Once you signal your rescue operation and movement, you receive a message from his ship that once you restock the saved crew, he is requesting you divert some TIE/ln squadrons to his ship, as his force is down to 3 TIE fighter squadrons total. Of course, you can refuse due to your own orders, but having a favor from him could be useful later on in these suddenly more political times.

>Transfer squadrons(if so, how many)

>Refuse on basis of orders

As well, your main crew outside of your XO has not been informed of the passing of the Emperor, do you want to maintain the secret until you arrive, or let your crew know the news?

>tell them(if so, how)

>it is best to keep secret.

>>4932825
>Transfer squadrons
2 squadrons. If I'm understanding this right, they will get replenished eventually, and getting "favors" is effectively our currency, so I think this is a good opportunity to get some.

>tell them
This one I'm less sure on. I'd say announce that it happened and that we are still pledged to maintain order wherever and however we can, even if present circumstances make it more difficult.

> transfer over captured Tie squadron and one of our own tie squadrons along with a tie bomber squadron. Replace our transferred bombers with the captured Y wings and let our Ace go wild with more shielded Hyperdrive capable small craft

>>4932825
>Transfer squadrons(if so, how many)
One. Tell him we can't spare any more because of our orders. It's enough to do more important stuff until we reach bespin.

I'm not sure about the crew, though. I mean, i guess they seem to be normal, so i don't think they're going to revolt - especially not when people like Chatterbox seem to consider us to be a good enough commander - but we need to avoid destroying the morale if we want to avoid deserters.

>>4932825
>>Transfer squadrons(if so, how many)
Two of the ln squadrons. A fair amount, if he doesn't like it, explain to him our orders, the fact that they're meant for swarm tactics (can't give to many or they're shit), and tell him to pound sand.

After a quick signing and confirmation of the fighter transfer, you call an assembly of your officers and key enlisted, you break the news to them, and inform security to be on alert.

one of the Tech leaders speaks up though.

"Sure, while the navy has done us wrong, we all signed up for a reason. Even if the reason is gone, I can say my technical crews will follow your commands for now so long as you don't go fanatic on us and dive us into the nearest rebel armada."

no one speaks up, but you can see in their eyes most generally share his sentiments.

We are consolidating our forces, taking stock, and seeing who is loyal. Though the assassination of the Emperor is a grievous blow, it is one mostly of morale. The Empire stands, and those who waver or is found wanting in their duty will find just punishment. We are the Imperial Navy, and we will not allow anything to cheapen our standards, our dignity, or the sacrifice of our comrades.

"Well, I think that'll relieve the men alot more coming from us then from the admiral, sir. Ill get them ready for the speech.

A few hours later, aftery ou have your rescued crews and the flotilla is ready, you begin a speech transmitted to all decks of all 3 of your vessels.

seconding since right now we should be able to outfit our ARCs and Y Wings with ion bombs and torps if we want to disable ships and dont really need a slow gunboat when we already have 2 heavy hitters that are a lot faster and more mission flexible. Plus also id like to at some point train up all our onboard stormtroopers as Marine/ 501st Clone troop equivalents. Flexible, able to do everything from space ambushes and boarding's to VIP rescue and orbital insertions. getting some Space troopers is a nice step in that direction i feel

They'll cost us an arm and a leg if we can find them at all. Good for capturing ships though.

With the new Spacetrooper shuttles and Interceptors coming in, you make arrangements to have a flight of sentinels reposted to the Nebulon B. Chatterbox is already making headway at giving your new pilots headaches, as you see him all but drag them towards the mess, eager to swap stories.

---------------------------------------

With your organizational business squared away, you check a new transmission from Admiral Harnock's flagship, detailing the current strategic situation, as well as new orders. First, are papers detailing your 2 prize captures to your own escort, forming a miniature squadron of your unit, while also providing enough crew to fill them in. Next is an ad-hoc promotion to Captain to properly lead the squadron. Of the rest of the situation though:
-Supplies are still oncoming from Eriadu, implying chain of command has held along the major hyperlanes. For now at least.
-Rebels in the neighboring systems have grown emboldened, and with the recent sighting of enemy light cruisers, an attack to liberate Bespin is believed to be in the works
-Envoys from neighboring Rim fleets have begun to probe on our disposition and loyalties, with some seeking to form a "temporary government" to govern the rim territories.

Current strategic plan is to maintain our fleet in position around Bespin, and probe out to maintain guard against rebel incursions to the neighboring territories.

Well, this leaves you with the option of waiting until your admiral requests your squadron for a mission, or you could request permission to take your unit out on a patrol nearby, and try to get the jump on the rebels.

As much as I want a mission, being proactive feels like the better play. And mama wants a new starship.

Might as well try to capture some more reb ships while we can.

>>4933159

Don’t mean to be that guy but we bought 2 regular squadrons of Ties no? Not a single interceptor squadron

>>4933175
ohfuck yea, lemme fix that

>>4933159
>Request a patrol route

As a carrier group we are uniquely suited to this role.

>>4933175
Interceptors are great but suffer even greater attrition than regular TIEs. We do not have any idea when we may be reinforced, better to stick to the regular forces.

I have no clue how we will replenish our ARCs.

Fixed version, apologies for that

>>4933178
No prob, also
>request patrol

Daddy want more ships and hopefully we could find a Quasar or even a Arquitems or 2. That’d really buff the fleet

>>4933180
interceptors generally will perform better and take less losses then TIE fighters, due to their better maneuverablity and armament, at least in this system.

ARCs, probably will need to talk to junk planets or find a friend dealing second hand equipment somewhere

>>4933186

Thanks for clarification. I have mained Interceptors as far back as Xwing vs TIE and as recently as Squadrons. Love the things but they are paper.

>>4933186
I mean I don’t doubt for a second that if the empire is anything like modern day countries it wouldn’t have anchorages and planets dedicated to storing and keeping overflow tanks, planes, guns, etc or outdated equipment in truly vast amounts. After all if the US is turning desert plateus into acres upon acres of brand new or last gen weapons platforms and vehicles I’d cream my pants to see the Empires version. Also this is why we need to get a support ship able to construct fighters and spare parts like the Battlestars in BSG could. mobile replenishment facilities are critical in a mobile fleet

>>4933192
oh Ive been playin through TIE fighter lately, loving the horrors of dying in 2 hits, makes genuinely evasive maneuvers and tactics required.

All we have to do is find those old mothball docks, storage worlds/stations, and shipyards full of surplus/retired war materials. It's where the first damned rebels managed to scrounge their first fleets anyhow before they wised up on security or traitorous local governments helping to supply them anyway. Really should have scuttled them. Current gen and last gen shouldn't be a problem.

Find the Imperial equivalent of a local government to shove all the stuff you cannot store properly to make them store it properly who then find those lower than them to shove it on because they also ran out of storage...etc. Assuming that is you don't run out of storage or don't sell it on the side. So many governments are infamous when forcing locals to store excess war materials or setting up storage depots that they than promptly forget about.

Seriously though it shouldn't be a problem at all. Everybody in the military or local governments knows about the local dumping ground that they shove all that shit in and try their best to forget or prevent from getting sent even MORE shit that they somehow have to get rid of. Its so fucking bad irl I cannot even imagine how terrible it must be for the Empire version. I mean shit entire goddamn planets and star systems overflowing of with literal junk. Just imagining the military version...oh man. It must be a special kind of hell to work in logistics and storage for military surplus. Those poor bastards...

>>4933194
those would be the Ord worlds, with Ord standing for Ordnance/regional depots. several have become regular worlds, but the ones still underi mperial control fully that havent become junkyards are large stockpiles. Out around Bespin however, the supply of materiel comes from the depots and warehouses around Eriadu, who sources new equipment from her own yards and the Core. The fastest way to get "new" ships fighting out here would be to buy them or steal them, or even refurbish from the scrap heaps

>>4933159
>Request a patrol route

>>4933210
In theory surplus should have been sent to the outer rim to help dispose of/store it. As the core dispatches disgusting amounts of surplus they need to get rid of because they themselves ran out of space to store it in so they force somebody else to figure it out instead. So on so forth.

So all we have to do is ask the local governments about their storage depots and hit up our own logistics guys on the dumping ground the local military forces use for their surplus because it's too damned expensive and time consuming to ship it farther away especially when those higher up/bigger than you are sending you even more surplus as well to get rid of/supply yourselves from. This would be instrumental to 'loyal' Imperial worlds to maintain control even when cut off or being forced to dispose of/provide storage to of surplus sent their way.

Considering how mindboggling cheap most Imperial standardized tech like the TIE series are the amount of surplus they must have built it is insane. Especially with how quickly they burn through them regularly to begin with anyhow. Therefore all we need to do is find out about the local storage depots and dumping grounds are in the local star region to raid/requisition/secure them for ourselves.

Admittedly acquiring fresh war materials and supplies is a much bigger problem. As that would require actual manufacturing and supply lines to manage/secure. When they are all getting raided to shit by rebels and desperate Imperials trying to hold out. The stores and dumps should last us for some time...at least until we start running low on munitions and manpower.

>>4933219
>>4933209
Come to think of this would have been true for even the Old Republic considering the clone wars and more ancient conflicts when they had a military/began to dismantle it. They would have had to find ways to store it away. Assuming that is they simply didn't lose the records of their existence over time or bother to keep up with maintenance. Clone war stock is pretty good and would be easier to source than the older stocks. The issue is even finding the damned records and locations of their very existence given how outdated it is and how costly it is to keep track.

sadly majority of stuff pre empire is scrapped at big yards, or if kept in service, done around the Corporate sector. out here is the true boonies, the biggest attraction near you is Cloud city, which has mining and wealth, but no discernably or major population centers or industry nearby, leaving most surplus or reserves too far to be immediately grab-abble

>>4933233
Damn what are the odds of being in the one backwater where they haven't built a supply depot nearby yet to shove surplus in so they can forget it exists. A problem in the short run.

A patrol route is volunteered for, and soon, you are being given orders to depart tomorrow for a ranging Mission on behalf of the Figg Conglomerate. They owned hte majority of the mining interest in the area, so your admiral saw it best to provide at least functional security for them. You were to deploy to Burnin konin, escort a large ore shipment through to Bavva, then report back. Piracy in the sector had always been an issue, but one you should have outgunned with 3 vessels.

In the meantime however, you do have a day before launch. You could get Chatterbox or some friendly officers for a party aboard to celebrate the promotion, or you could go down for a night on the town in Cloud City. that or just read a nice book in your room, until the time to launch arrives.

Supplies won’t be the issue anon

As already established - our issue is going to be manpower.

We should move away from the TIE series ASAP. Sourcing more pilots without the galaxy-wide recruitment apparatus that the real Empire had is going to be super difficult.

The problem with abandoning TIEs is that we'll be giving up an unbelievable amount of firepower. Sure, there are other fighters, but there are no other options even close to the amount of TIEs that are going to be available in this warlord period.

>>4933257
>>Have a small get together.

With a quick stroke on some papers. Pretty soon your flotilla has been given 24 hours leave, with only a handful of crewmen to make sure the ships are fine. Beyond them, you also call a gathering of your senior officers together to your own ship. Included in that is your Wing commander, Chatterbox, XO Cranston, and the 2 new transfers for your other vessels. Commander maw'ryn of the Nebulon, renamed Revengence, and Lieutenant Cranston of the Lancer, No Second Chances, no relation to your XO.

The 2 seemed to be officers believed overdue for a command of their own, from what you read of their filea, and seemed to have a good enough track record.

So when you arrange this party, what sort do you want? A quiet social, to acquaint yourself with your newest officers? Or a louder larger party to get blasted, possibly get the remaining enlisted aboard involved too?

>stay quiet, whip out the wine.

let the officers have their ravers with the lower ranked. with you they should always expect something more refined. plus it fits with our seductive socialite character (how else did we seduce the headmaster's daughter?)

You gather the enslisted and dole out your wine, letting those stuck onboard to enjoy some time off as well as those below. That will definitely help with keeping them happy with your leadership, but your stores of lighter alcohols is gonna be dry after tonight. Beyond that though, you finally get to address your 2 new ship captains, Maw'ryn and Cranston II.

Maw'ryn fills you in on his background, and how he has experience with Nebulon Bs prior, having had his previous command shot out from under him during a Rebel raid, where they used a fireship to break his vessel in half. He says he led his bridge crew and survivors out to escape pods, and managed to get picked up by imperial reinforcements. He seems eager to pay them back for his loss then though, and remembers that it was a specific 1 Winged Mon cal cruiser coordinating the fleet that got him, and asks you to keep an eye for it.

Lieutenant Cranston though, is fresh as a whistle. He came from the same academy as you, albeit a few years down, and knows you by reputation apparently, as you have become a legend in the history of the Academy, from your little "scandal". He holds a deal of boyish reverence from you, and he's eager to fight, just inexperience with actual fighting. You're sure he'll get his hands dirty soon enough though.

It's obvious though, that whiel you all are soon acquainted with one another, this is your first, albeit informal, officers meeting of the squadron. They probably expect to get a taste of their Commander, and you should leave em an idea of who you are.

>Drink hard and stay fun.

>Get down to business, give them rules on how you want this fleet to be run(encourage independence, cooperation, so on, write it in)

>other?

>>4933955
I think we ought to strike a balance - first estabilish rules, explain to them how our situation requires independent thought and cooperation as well as reservation due to the loss of our productive capabilities - that is to say, we can't just keep throwing men at the problem until it sorts itself out - i mean, they shouldn't have been doing that anyway, but now we're spread EXTREMELY thin and every head counts.

>>4933979
i forgot to add, at the end

And then allow the whole fun part - you know, drink hard, that kind of stuff. Basically, first do what's important, estabilish rules, and THEN, once the rules are estabilished, we can party.
