"Good job Alpha wing we showed those reb's what happens to traitors. Return to the ship. Last one in is buyin."

Jace races the squad to the ship managing to beat them all in.

"Atention Imperial Taskforce DeathHunter.. We must return to Imperial Base 17hj16 for repairs and repacement fighters. Afterthat, we will track the rebels to their base.. and bring an interdictor with us"

Vordak lands aboard the ship, attends however many required debriefings there may be, then goes to assist the mechanics in repairing the Interceptor he was flying. Rolled a 25 on the assist.

OOC: Given that pilots seem to be bumped too whatever bird is available, do we just keep our kills on our flight suits? Or do they have smart paint that reads the pilot's ID when he gets in, and configures itself to display their kills.

"Good show today, we really showed those rebs who is boss. We did not lose anyone today though some of us COUGH Alpha One COUGH did take some hits. Alright this round is on me so drink up!"

With that Jace and Alpha wing get uproarasly drunk.

Smart paint.

As for Dahak... His character tried to defect and no rebels picked him up... What a pitty.. We have him though.. he passed out before he could kill himself and is now in a padded cell in the brig.

He is dead. I doubt he would pass out in those few seconds.
But if you absolutely want, you can play him yourself. As I won't, not with all that sith crap around.

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2004-03-23 09:35am

Well, he was going to be spaced.... but ok... Dont like sith?

Captain Fy'Allar: Sorry about the padded cell, but we really did have to keep you from taking the easy way out now didnt we? Now if you will be so kind as to step into the airlock... Thank you.

With that, the airlock closed, and the other side opened. The pressure difference causing the poor traitor to be sucked out into the hard vaccuum of space... He was stupid enough to not hold his breath(he would have died faster) and as he floated in vaccuum desperatly trying to breathe his eyes froze. The pain was exquisite... As the near absolute zero temperatures sucked away every last BTU of body heat, he started to shiver so much it looked like epilepsy. It only prolonged his suffering even further as he suffocated. Soon, uncontained by any sort of pressure, his frozen eyes left their sockets, the pressure inside his more or less sealed skull forcing them out. And then he died. He succumbed within seconds to a combination of suffocation and exposure.

Drukenly "Hey check it out its a floating popsicle."

Jace Points out to the recently spaced traitor.

*Pokes thread awake*

. There we go. Ok alyrium, I have calculated my Leadership score, and with the Minions ability (traded in jedi guardian levels to reach 5th level in sith lord) I can get force users.
So in short I can get:

50 level 2 Force Adepts
OR
15 level 4 Force Adepts
OR
80 non-force users up to level 4
OR
6 level 4 Sith Warriors
Course, there won't be alot of trained force users around, so most of my minions would be mundane peeps.
Also, once per week I can make a check (d20+cha mod+character level*50) to get credits. (This can take the form of a ship, hired mercs, etc.)

OOC: Going to be spending extended time with Gf, and won't be able to post often enough to probably even get near the combats till Monday. I hereby ask that someone take control of Vordak if any combat springs up while I am unavailable.

Everyone gains 4299 experience points

Using threats of force, intimidation, old favors, and other exotic sources, Lord Kast manages to collect 5,500 credits through the HoloNet. It's good to have connections he mused silently as he watched the credits pile into his temporary account. With a sigh, he shut off the HoloNet link, then made his way down to the main technical section, where he confronted the head tech. "I need this"-Kast said, un-strapping the lanvarok on his arm-"to be modified to hold 10 discs. Don't screw it up." He turned on his heel and tossed the weapon at the tech, then strided out of the room.

He catches it, and gets to work feverishly

Captain tycho · Post by **Captain tycho** » 2004-03-24 07:45pm

Kast heads back up to the bridge, looking around for the captain.

Yikes... If you want minions, you will have to find space for them on the ship, and there isnt much. ASnd we do NEED all our crew. Though, you could have them live in a shuttle....

You find him, pacing with pent up rage while overseeing TIE replacement.

"Captain Fy'allar." Kast bows his head slightly." I will require data on the planet we are traveling to, and the use of a modified Lambda-class shuttle with a pilot."

"We are en route to a Golan 3 defense platform in deep space... our replacement TIES and pilots will be shipped here. We will arribve in 2 hours.. The nearest planet to that area is... well it was Alderaan... but *snicker* there isnt anything for quite some distance"

Alderaan..."Alderaan. A place of the dead. The perfect place for my meditation. Do you wish to join me captain? The spirits of the dead can be very...invigorating.."

"I think I may have to"

Sr.mal · Post by **Sr.mal** » 2004-03-25 03:49pm

Jace heads to the hangar where they keep the ties. HE goes up to the head tech.

"Hey, could you do me a favor? Is there anyway to boost the firepower on the Interceptors, I had a hard time taking down the shields of the rebel fighters. Maybe you could boost their power output, or something like that."

(Basically in game mechanics it increase the damage but also increases the error range from 1 to 1-2. So a roll that is a natural 2 will cause it to go fubar.)

"I think we should be able to manage something like that."

consequences · Post by **consequences** » 2004-03-26 12:54pm

Vordak scoots out from where he was working under an Interceptor, "You can do that, but can you install the shields I've been asking for for the last three months? Razzin Frazzin *mumble*" He trails off as he scoots back under the fighter.

Just for the heck of it, Vordak's daily schedule as I have envisioned it(presuming a 12 on 12 off duty roster)
Absolute minimum time needed spent on paperwork and mostly useless meetings/briefings. Given the nature of advanced military organisations, this is still going to probably be at least 3 hours a day.
30 Minutes spent butchering the newbies just arrived on ship in simulator combat, to get them to listen to him(optional, depending upon availability of uppity rookies).
At least 4 hours spent working with the inevitable newbies that crop up after every fire fight, trying to improve their survivability, in the vain hope he won't have too many rookies to train next time around.
15 minutes trying to convince the chief fighter mechanic to 'acquire' some appropriately sized shield generators, and install them on the Interceptors at least.
2 hours spent working with the mechanics in the hangar bay.
1 hour getting butt kicked by simulator on 'damn, I just died' difficulty
1 hour scattered throughout the day spent eating. Vordak doesn't believe in dawdling with food, or socialising at chow, and uses the head start to get at the front of the line for simulator use.
Remaining time if any, Miscellaneous.

Off-duty:
1 hour spent in cantina, socialising with other pilots.
2 hours spent doing various correspondence courses for promotion and potential employment if he manages to survive.
2 hours on latest flight sim game for PS9.
30 minutes getting shit together for next day.
6-7 hours for sleep.

"Shield generators cost a shitload of money dude"
