@Ariamis You are right, tired brain is dumb. Yes, I'm thinking an energy shield layered on to of Legion because if Paladin needs anything it the ability to laugh off more damage!
As an apology have a picture of something I spent twelve plus hours painting is still not done yet.
Right, catching up on posts more now. Also considering new character because the thing we need now is more pilots.
@Ariamis Also I wanted to ask if for my additional secondary system I could an energy shield installed on Pompey as my second secondary system. I've noticed that blocking energy based attacks seems to be my mechs crippling weakness.
Ugh so sorry I've been so lax here, school and holidays and then a week of snow. Seriously been a mess here. I can do a post soon as I catch up on what've missed... Got a lot to read.
History: Magvel itself maintains it's many nations with all of them forming the council of Heros with Carcino being an exclusion to the countries age-old system. The nations maintain their own lines of royalty and vote on a leader of the council who holds the position for life. This council's leader speaks for the entire country before the rest of the Concilium. The Council of Heroes exists on Magvel because though the nations have many differences each nation was founded by a legendary hero from long ago and they respect the bonds those warriors forged together in hopes of peace. Magvel above all other things holds peace and stability in high regards, as such the council usually avoids being drawn into wars or trouble from distant allies as best it can.
The youngest child of Queen of Renais, Marwood was her bundle of joy and baby of the family. She actually took the time to teach him to ride herself. As such he desires to make her proud yet at the same time with age came distance and difference. While his mother relies on codes and formal declarations Marwood is normally on his horse with a squad of knights by the time she starts issuing orders. This has caused much division between mother and son, with Marwood often leading knights into battle against bandits and other threats without having approval from his mother.
Aside from that, he is good friends with the general's of his country, he often finds himself in their company or training with them. As a prince, he received a formal education and lessons in history, strategy, and etiquette. He threw away etiquette preferring to spend many a night out in villages or celebrating victories with his men. He even formed a special group of cavaliers that ride with him to villages and towns under assault, thus with almost all his training being done on horseback.
Marwood and his unabashed love for his nation have caused trouble for the Queen in the past, with his tendency to cause head for battle without waiting for proper orders. Marwood and the Cavaliers of Renais have saved hundreds of lives by disobeying the command structure. Yet while hailed as heroes it troubles his mother that his free-form fighting is not proper of a prince. He has a history of being rather bold and challenging letting nothing stand between him and his moral compass, politics be damned.
Thanks to a recent incident involving trouble with Jehanna mercenaries Marwood has been ordered to join the diplomatic group from Magvel. Also threats from his mother to marry him off to some princess and let them try to reign in his bravado. The brash Knight of Renais has been sent off, his other only hope the diplomats keep him in check so he doesn't cause a worse incident while abroad.
Personality: Marwood is brash and unapologetically eager to protect and help those in need, while he upholds the standards of a Knight well his noble sensibilities are almost non-existent. He often ignores protocol or traditions in favor of whatever needs to be done getting done. Honest and forthright as well Marwood tries to make sure he is always doing the right thing, caring more about people than anything else he cannot stand by while they are in trouble.
Other: An avid singer and storyteller Marwood spent his younger days sneaking out and telling singing and telling stories at the local tavern. He has secretly wanted to be a bard but royal duties prevent that and he also wishes to marry someone he loves rather than an arranged marriage like his mother has in mind, possibly to secure a new ally. He is a sucker for a good romance book, though he doesn't like people to know. He gets very nervous around girls and has never been good at discussing women. Princesses have scared him since boyhood when his mother began threatening to marry him off to one.
Erika and Seth from Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones by far my favorite game.
My idea is that since Magvel is a rather peaceful continent in its history compared to others the nations simply maintained the individuality and the leaders of the countries send one of them forth to represent them all. Keeps Magvel diverse and different but also plays to the fact that they would a nation now that is unrepresented and might feel slighted by them for future problems.
@Burning Kitty Mandalore is on the list of planets we might visit, so should be interesting.
@CaptainBritton@Apoalo The New Republic marines will be very interesting since I'm thinking they will be more akin to Alliance Special Operations from Legends.
Admiral Garm Bel Iblis, to all ranking officers of the Independence.
Starkiller base has gone activate and war with the New Order has begun, an Emergency Chancellor has been selected. Mon Mothma once again heads the Republic, the destruction Hosnian system and the main fleet must be answered. Being one of the few Rebellion era Generals still serving in the Republic I have been ordered to re-organize and prepare fleets to strike back against the New Order.
As such, all Republic vessel's are back to active status. All current New Republic Captains are being assigned to vessels readied for war. Finally, all senior students at the New Republic Fleet Academy have been named lieutenants and brought into the service. Fighter squads are being moved to serve on board these ships, you are cleared to respond to New Order attacks as you see fit. We are at war and if you want to see us all stay free, you'll show these remnants who runs the galaxy now.
Star Defender Independence will not join not any of our defense fleets, instead, we need our most capable warship to head into the outer rim and buy us time. The Star Defender project was created to give hope, with ships able to match the Empire's deadliest weapons, and crews of the finest soldiers in the New Republic. You will engage and strike blows at our enemy outside of Republic-controlled space. You will bring hope, defend those who freedom while we make our combat preparations.
For the Republic!
End transmission
This is Captain Mevum Thein of the New Republic to all personnel of the Independence, we are preparing to jump to the outer rim. All pilots go on alert, we have orders to cause maximum damage to First Order forces we are outside the chain of command and the resupply. At our disposal is a ship capable of matching anything the enemy can throw at us, the main fleet around Hosnian prime is no more. No other Star Defenders remain, our first mission will be to Ryloth we have reports of Remnant Imperial Star Destroyers. As such prepare to engage the enemy, all fighters and soldiers are to prepare for imminent contact with the First Order.
May the force be with us.
So as written above, I'm looking for people interested in the idea of playing a New Republic capital ship fighting in the outer rim causing distractions and keeping hope alive. Some of this stems from the fact I'm not a fan of some of the stuff from The Last Jedi, however, the main point of this is I want to tell a real war story. One where a ship loyal crew and brave soldiers actual matter in Star Wars.
As for the rolls, any personnel on the ship can be a character. The Independence is basically the Republic's answer to a Super Star Destroyer like the Executor or Resurgent class ships. Built using Mon Calamari technology this seventeen-kilometer long ship holds more starfighters than Imperial ships of the same size, and enough supplies to survive ship years. It shields and systems are built redundantly to allow for the vessel to survive direct hits to critical systems.
Class: Viscount Star Defender
History: Designed by Admiral Ackbar as a counter to the Super Star destroyer class vessels the Independence was named after the Rebellion cruiser which survived the battle of Endor and Jakku. Only two Star Defenders were ever built. The Home One, the flagship of the Senate fleet was destroyed at Hosnian Prime.
Crew: 68,174 Crew and 12,500 troops.
Weapons:
Heavy turbolasers 2,000
Turbolasers 2,000
Assault concussion missile tubes 200 Ammunition: 30 missiles per tube
Airus spoke first to Yomi the guardian who had greeted him. "I did not expect they would tolerate you staying." He paused stifling a chuckle when the older man asked what the Empire would want with a bunch of dusty old books. "It's simple, to destroy them or perhaps steal knowledge. "I am Airus Vel Aath, Lorekeeper." To most that title would simply mean librarian to the Whills it was an old title, but one that referred to a Jedi who kept history and knowledge. Archiving in the grand temple on Coruscant. "Those moldy old books brought me all the way here... And I started my journey many years ago on Coruscant." The bandage wrapped man smiled at Yomi, wanting him to his dedication and care would not go unrespected. "However, I see an interesting bunch around me, I'd like to know the other people who make a pilgrimage to this holy site."
Airus gaged those around him, first at Talen-Jei, his talent as an empath and his own force sight let him understand what he was trying to find, a weakness. "No need to mask my scent... And no need to avoid predators, I can tell you there are currently no squads within three blocks. I could look beyond if I wished but I do not care too, my vision as you might refer to it is unlimited by where I might need to see... Thus I am always aware where the predator is." He explained, turning his head if only to speak at the hunter. "You seek a weakness in me with your eyes. A word of warning? Behind a bantha herd often hides a Krayt dragon, never trust appearance."
Turning his head to direct his voice next at Kit next, his sense reached out, then pain rushed forward to his mind. He gripped his Beskar staff tightly collapsing to a knee. "You were... There... Mandalore... Through all of that." He grunted and moved to slowly start to stand again, his body shakey. His own memories flooding forward, his fear and pain on those days after his escape. "I was... I was there too, so many lost so much." He spoke trying to regain his composure. "I was there... To record the life and times of the late Duchess in my youth, my staff it was a present from the family that hosted me." He still leaning on the staff as he took shallow breaths, he had only gleaned the emotion and pain triggering his own memories and nothing more. "I... I am sorry." He offered and her a pained and remorseful expression on his face. Not one of pity but of someone who had experienced much the such, the loss and pain of the family. His hood fell away, revealing the wild short hair upon the young man's head.
