Right - good to see there is interest. Shadowkiller, that is the exact reason I am doing this [HW remastered so gooooood], and Gowi, Legends of the Galactic Heroes is a major influence for the game's setup.

Anyways, I'll let you folks know what the characters should be like in more specific detail. So the 4th fleet is a collection of hundreds of ships, I'll get exact order of battle down soon. Anyways, you will be playing the High Command for the fleet, and so the only role we REALLY need is the Admiral, the character nominally in charge of the whole operation. Normal fleets are split into three sections during battle, with two Rear Admirals commanding two parts and the Admiral commanding the last, so some Rear Admirals are important too, but that is not the only roles open: there are advisers, adjutants, marine commanders, scientists, diplomats, quartermasters etc. tied to the fleet's command, but who knows who else will be on the Flagship: I would be happy to see reporters, authors, stowaways, criminals, or even common soldiers in the game, though be warned the focus will be on the bigger picture of the fleet, not individual ships or individual heroes.

I'd like to get an above-average number of people to play, and am hoping for posts every few days at the least, but if there is not enough interest I would be happy to let people play multiple characters.

Also, feel free to post questions, I'll make an OOC today or tomorrow.

[tentative makeup of the fleet: 6 Dreadnoughts, 257 Battleships, 531 Cruisers, 862 Destroyers, 48 Carriers, 208 supply freighters]
