What should the name of the Subjugator be?

Cue the massive fleets

You all got nothing to my 20 sector ones.

I would say some kind of pun on how it disables other ships.

Spirit of Serenno? Obliterator? Constrictor?

Doesn't matter how big the fleet is if the ships can't move or fight back...

Don't be too proud of these technological terrors you've constructed. The ability to disable a fleet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

Oh, we have the Force too.

Speaking of which, to whoever is playing Vader... does he have his suit? Because he probably wouldn't need it without the severe burning and de-legging he got on Mustafar.

He's perfectly healthy in this RP. However, IHMO, I still think he should wear the suit, at least to prevent anyone from knowing his former identity and for intimidation.

I like it better without the suit. As for knowing his identity though, that's fair... Aidan for one will be gunning for him, seeing how he cut the previous Count's head off.

But who knows of this except for Vader, Obi-Wan, and the Emperor? I would have thought that the public would know only that Dooku died aboard the Invisible Hand. Unless there were security cameras or someone talked to the Press.....

I assumed that somebody would have found out about it somehow. There's not really a reason for them to keep it a secret. And if not Obi Wan or Anakin, who else could have killed him?

Seems like even if the execution-style part of it didn't get out, it would still get out that Anakin had killed Dooku.

Yeah, sounds like that is what would happen.

Anakin Skywalker and his squadron attacked the Malevolence in this manner and it resulted in the destruction of both ion cannons and considerable damage to the ship, knocking out its hyperdrive as well as number of other systems, shields included.'

Basically thing that make big boom die by fighters.
Again.

Isn't it always like this?

Tuuk followed Military History. And I think the Separatists would take measurements to correct that flaw.

As long as it's not painfully OP.

I might make mine come from Corellia and having went the military school on what, Anaxes? I think it's Anaxes.

The V O I D wrote:Name: Anakin Skywalker (formerly; renounced); Darth Vader (currently)
Age: Approx. 30 (give or take a year).
Gender: M.
Allegiance paid to: The Galactic Empire; Supreme Commander of the Imperial Military (second in authority only to the Emperor).
Appearance: Vader.
Personality: The man formerly known as Anakin Skywalker has become a cold, calculating being under the name of Lord Vader. Vader is ruthless, angry and has plenty of hatred for the Jedi, the Separatists and the Rebels. Vader also has absolutely no patience for insubordination, with rumors that failure and such are treated indiscriminately and result in death on the spot.
Force Sensitive: Yes; perhaps one of the, if not the, strongest Force Sensitives in the Galaxy.
Skills/Powers: Force Choke, Telekinesis, Force Rage (enhance his powers by giving into his rage), Force Lightning, other Dark Side abilities; extremely experienced with a Lightsaber.
Weaponry: A single red lightsaber, and the Force itself.
Ship: The Pride of the Core
Biography: Anakin Skywalker was a promising Jedi Knight, and was recorded as being one of the strongest Jedi in the entire Order; second, barely, perhaps to Yoda himself. Upon becoming Darth Vader and receiving his first mission, he obeyed his master's commands and destroyed the Jedi at the Temple on Coruscant; leading an army of Clones to do so. Darth Vader then proceeded to Mustafar, but discovered the base there was destroyed; immediately returning to Coruscant, on the way, Vader informed his master, the now-Emperor Palpatine, of his findings. Suffice it to say Palpatine was not pleased.

Once Vader arrived on Coruscant, he immediately sought out his wife; confessing to her what he did when she confronted him. She ran from him, and Vader grew anger at her for her refusal; for her betrayal. He followed her, but to his shock, she had one final betrayal left for him: she left with Obi-Wan and Yoda, the ultimate traitors of the new Empire, and known Jedi. Vader, at this moment, snapped; giving in to his full hatred and rage. The Dark Side sent what some Jedi called 'shockwaves' out through the Force; the complete and utter fall of the Chosen One causing echoes in the Force itself. Even those merely connected to the Force, but not Force Sensitive (such as Padme) claimed to have felt an... unease. Anything left of Anakin Skywalker had died with this final betrayal. Or so it was thought.

Vader himself oversaw the completion of the Pride of the Core, after his master had granted it. Over the next few years, he went on a hunting spree; destroying any Jedi or Separatist leaders that could be found or were within reach. As the Separatists returned, along with the Rebellion arising, Vader was becoming further and further full of a seemingly endless well of rage, hatred and loathing; his master was surprised it was possible to submerse oneself so deeply into the Dark Side. The Emperor told him that this was good.

Upon learning that his former wife, Padme Amidala, led the Rebellion and had handed their children over to the Jedi... well, Vader crushed the informant that had told him of it. Quite literally crushing every bone in the informant's body. Vader now sees that the Jedi are trying to indoctrinate his wife against him forever; his plunging into the Dark Side was his way of ensuring he could become strong enough to rescue his family. He couldn't let the Jedi corrupt them. Vader vowed to crush the Jedi, and especially vowed to ensure Obi-Wan's death, so that he could save Padme from the clutches of the Jedi, along with his family.

Vader is somewhat conflicted; although he has submerged himself deep into the Dark Side, making him quite sadistic and ruthless in general; there is enough left of Anakin, as much as Vader refuses to admit it, that he cannot and will not harm Padme or his children. He has every intention of taking them to be - if not his family - his personal prisoners until the war is over. This way, when the war ends, they can be a family again.
RP Example: Val, come on, man.
Notes: Generally anyone important in Vader's fleet. I may even RP as Vader's fleet in the event of a space battle with the Rebels or Seps. Primarily, though, minor admirals/commanders and such in his fleet. Until someone apps as him or unless you do it, Val, I may also play Sidious on the side, when Vader is receiving orders. Vader's fleet consists of one Mandator I-class Star Dreadnought, a prototype super-star destroyer (called the Pride of the Core); as well as fourteen subordinate Venator II-class Star Destroyers.


On another note, I feel as though suitless Vader makes sense with the base destroyed at Mustafar and with no encounter with lava and no duel with Obi-Wan causing the need for it. This means my Vader can use lightning among other powers, and is far far stronger than any version of a suited Vader could ever dream of being. And he will very likely and perhaps very quickly outpower the Emperor.
