alex: again...what do you think i've been DOING for the past 19 years? i didn't spend years trying to keep the republic intact against a horde of renegades and separatists only to see it wiped away, along with everything good and just in the galaxy, for one madman's insane lust for power!
alex: and most of them will bring their blaster and maybe some supplies with them when they join up...nothing more significant no, the rebellion needs capital ships, constant, unbroken supply chains of fuel, munitions and arms and many, MANY other things before they can go on the offensive...i've been supplying fuel and…
alex: no offense...but the rebellion is in NO position to go on the offensive, especially after losing several good pilots at yavin - their forces constitute a grand total of a single star destroyer's worth of smallcraft, a few transports and some corvettes and frigates - that's it...and a good portion of those smallcraft…
alex: really? in case you haven't noticed...*he motions to all the troops busy securing the ship and its crew* i'm the one with the clear advantage here - and unlike stormtroopers, my forces are actually top-shelf
alex: *staring hard at pratchet* what makes you think you'll be getting a chance to join the rebellion? this one *he motions toward briana* turned over custody of this ship and everyone aboard to me - so that makes you MY prisoner, and if you think you can use the rebellion as a 'get out of jail free' card, think again
alex: the ship is going to be joining my navy as soon as it's completely stripped of any valuable data it might possess, then had its core completely purged to prevent any backdoors or other nasty surprises from popping up down the line and the crew will be spending the rest of the conflict in a nice safe POW camp well…
alex: you don't have blue fur, or i would have *he retorts as troops start transporting aboard the star destroyer to round up its crew and take control of the vessel*
alex: no normal being would be able to capture an entire star destroyer with a crew numbering less than ten...even a SITH would have trouble with that unless it were an especially strong one...like palpatine level (and keep in mind....VERY few in the empire are aware that palpatine is a sith lord - that's something he…
*communications are passing back and forth between the maw of fenris and night's embrace while briana and jakara are arguing, then suddenly past!alex flames aboard the star destroyer's bridge and glances around before locking eyes with the former* ...what the hell are you? there are few who could capture an entire star…
garth: he should be arriving momentarily - ETA is *garth is suddenly cut off by a trilling alarm as several hyperspace portals open around the Maw of Fenris and start spitting out several imperium warships, among them the Night's Embrace*...right the hell now
*garth sighs on the other end of the open commline* son of a TRIBBLE...well, one destroyer is better than none, but i would've liked to take those other two
garth: we all have full authority to capture enemy hardware whenever possible if casualties can be kept to a minimum - on our side, at least and having three imperators added to our fleet would be a boon, because we need every ship we can get (of course...just because ONE captain surrendered, doesn't mean the other two…
funnily enough...satisfying ALL of those requirements the way the game is set up is impossible if he expects to actually do anything, he's going to have to settle for 3 out of 4
