Who's Luke Skywalker?

I really want him to be joking.

Well if the CIS is going to activate that many old ships, I think I'm going to move along Thrawn's arrival.

And reactivating 'hundreds of thousands' of ships isn't? Those fleets would have been picked apart for their material.

[G-Tech Corporation]

They actually left most of it alone, and figured that with the droids deactivated, it wouldn't really matter. Believe it or not, the ships going to Geonosis right now isn't even a FRACTION of the former CIS fleet. At the battle of Coruscant, there were thousands of frigates, destroyers and dreadnoughts. And the hundred thousands of the vessels are just like, Vulture Droids and shit like that.

This is correct. At the height of their power, the CIS had hundreds of thousands of ships.

Oh I'm fully aware of fleet sizes. I'm just surprised they weren't retrofitted or had the living daylights looted out of them. Or just fell apart/got sucked into gravity wells, depending on where they were deactivated.

Of those ships, most are Vulture Droids and the likes. There were hundreds of MILLIONS of those. When I say hundreds of thousands of ships, I'm not referring to frigates and dreadnoughts. And I don't think you know what "meta" means.

A majority of them likely were. But even a fraction of the hundreds of millions of fighters that fought in the Clone Wars is a massive amount.

[Segmentia]

No, I understand what it means. But consider this. All of a sudden a resurgent CIS shows up with a pretty large fleet and army. The Empire is in complete disarray. If you were Thrawn, who had every intention of restoring the Empire (With differences) what do you do? Sit around and wait for that resurgent CIS to simply grow more powerful and whittle away at the galaxy and entrench? Or do you pack up what you're doing, come back, sort out the elements of the Empire worth saving, and proceed to defend said Empire?

It's really not a hard choice to make.

Should be an interesting series of battles. But, he shouldn't just show up to Geonosis or Mustafar. The full size of the CIS fleet is still unknown, as the Empire has only seen one ship. And even the force going to Geonosis is still not the full power of the CIS fleet. It would be sometime before word spreads.

I'd say they were held on Confederate Shipyards, which due to the Clone Wars, would be fairly hidden or protected to some extent.

Like I had said previously, a lot of old Confederates went to the Alliance, and most likely, brought their ships and material with them. However, the Empire had so much of a military build up and war machine that it would be absolutely suicidal for a Clone Wars-era armada to make any major engagement. But now that they're fractured and infighting is rampant as warlordism takes effect, it would actually put the Confederates on a better footing than what it currently is. Enough to keep afloat and work on re-establishing itself. Fight off an entire Star Destroyer protected Battle Fleet? Hardly - no matter what Rob/Hangar says about the Ion Cannon.

I'm still of the opinion that the Imperials and the Chiss should be one faction, or at least, the Chiss be a competing faction among the Moffs. They seem about the weakest by a large margin, even with their stealth and such.

Oh, he's not going to show up at one of the battles. He needs to gather support first. He doesn't have a massive fleet or anything under his command right off the bat. Maybe a few Star Destroyers. The biggest assets he has now is a Darth who has decided to stick around, and the Noghri.

My independent character could actually be a potential ally.

Compare this: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Navy

To this: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Confederate_Navy

Imperials have better tech, more ships, more capital ships, more production ability, more R&D, more skilled commanders and pilots, more experience, and on and on....even while fractured, and Imperial Fleet is no joke, even to a major Confederate Fleet.

You are both underestimating the sheer size and might of the Empire and overestimating the size and power of the Confederate Navy.

I'm fully aware, actually.

But again, Thrawn want's to reform a decently intact Empire, and between the splintering of the Empire, and the future splintering of it still, the CIS is just another outside force that could cause problems, especially if say some Imperial factions want to join them. Not saying it's likely, but it's possible. And of course another outside threat is just one more thing Thrawn can use to unify more splinter factions.

But it's still meta as fuck. He shows up because you personally feel like the Confederates are too powerful in the OOC. ICly, he shouldn't really care nor be concerned with a rogue Kaleesh commander and a hidden AI scheming around in the Outer Rim. He should grow interested after Mustafar, then begin moving into place after whatever major battle the CIS commits to after Mustafar. Not just "Hmm, I'm Thrawn, I better go fucking roflstomp Confederates because I'm God Emperor Thrawn, Destroyer of Worlds, Wrecker of You."

LEAVE

Your homework for tonight. Read this, and report back: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke_Skywalker

[Romus Maximus]

Completed

Denied, a two line bio is not passable. Also, there is no RP sample. So I have no way to measure your RP quality.

I'll get the bio done, and I'll find a sample, I haven't RPed for months though, time has been really limited.

I underestimate nothing. And the tech isn't that much better

And more skilled commanders? You underestimate the Kaleesh. At this point, they are fractured into, I believe, at least three subfactions, and are the weakest they have ever been.

[The NAR]

So he's on some planet fighting people. Can he still be RP'd

I never even said he was coming back right this instant, did I? I simply said I was going to speed up his arrival from 8ABY to some time more recent.

Thanks for putting words in my mouth though, A+

No, you're not, or else you wouldn't resort to Meta-Gaming to force Thrawn in so we all get stomped.

Here's the main thing Thrawn has going against him: The Moffs. They will not relinquish command to him, he's been in the Unknown Regions forming the Empire of the Hand for many years and is a non-Human. They don't trust him and will not until he proves himself. Palpatine knew he was great, but the other Moffs did not care for him at all. He was able to return and take control of the Imperial Remnant because the Moff's Warlordism killed off all major opposition to his assumption of Grand Admiralship. Thrawn is just another warlord trying to gain control the Empire - which is why the Chiss do not need to be their own faction.

Now, if he is aligned against the Rebellion (as he should), that's cool, but so far, the Confederates are off the radar entirely. Another issue is that he didn't return from the Unknown Sectors until 8 years after Yavin, and we're only 4 years after it.
