Star Wars Factions: War for the Unknown (OOC)

[G-Tech Corporation]

If you guys would want to see additional units or buildings, which would they be?

I'd like to reserve system 12.

Noted.

Skunkworks/Prototype Design Facilities.

Gas Extraction Platforms with precursor Cloud City to make Gas Giants more profitable with investment.

Heavy Vehicle Construction Yards for AT-ATs and the like.

What would they do?

Interesting.

Would they only produce that? Are their any other large infantry designs in the star wars universe?

What exactly does "natural pc" mean?

Natural production, what the planet on its own, with no development, will produce.

Can I reserve system three?
Or has that been taken?

The Imperials and the Rebels can build structures that produce heavy vehicles.

Only the greatest Star Wars game ever made. (EDIT: which is telling)

I think he might be referring to the barracks building line, which had three or four barracks classes, ranging from infantry barracks up to the AT-AT/Heavy artillery factories.

As an aside, I'm reading the building list right in that I need to build a Data Archive before I can begin Research/Espionage missions?

I didn't see Battlefront 2 or KOTOR listed so.... I also didn't own a computer or internet when that game came out, so ya I never heard about it until this year.

You can build espionage and research first, and even go on one successful mission. However for the progress to be saved, there needs to be a data archive, I'll go back and clarify that.

Faction: The Kingdom of Vinlac

Leader: King Vultuth of Clan Kinolk

High Ranking Officials: Salvin of Clan Julvon, Erith of Clan Tyfon, Folkuth of Clan Kinolk

Civics: Developing Species, Representation, Laissez-Faire, Feudalism, and Warrior Culture

History: The Vinlac are a race of warrior lizards who've been on the planet for centuries. They stand at around five feet and eight inches on average. Their skin is a thick dark green hide with a light green "underbelly". Their yellow reptilian eyes allow them to see as well as humans. Their long, spiked tails allow them to keep balance and be used as a natural melee weapon along their clawed hands. Their fanged teeth carry a natural venom that makes their bites hazardous meaning they have a last resort weapon if worst comes to worst. Due to these it made their fighting focused originally on just using their bodies when, in 360 BBY, Clan Julvon led by then Patriarch Solvok discovered how to forge metal blades creating the first Vinlac Sword. It is a long iron blade that have "barbs" on the side meant to be used for stabbing, allowing the blade to tear at the flesh inside a target, namely another thick skinned Vinlac. By 128 BBY they had discovered how to make blasters but they referred to them as "Sedah Rifles", in reference to their Draconic God Sedah, the God of War.
Due to the constant fighting between the Clans they had rapidly developed their ability to fight and had various doctrines developed depending on which Clan they are in. If you were a Vinlac warrior in Clan Julvon you'd have the latest in weaponry and armor but only knew how to charge at your enemy whereas if you were of Clan Tyfon you would have more of a focus put on ambushes and using melee weapons to deny ranged warriors their ability to fight from afar. Thanks to this wars were a confusing mess and long affairs. But it also meant they developed a long martial tradition and a deep respect for the role of warrior. Tyfon Fathers often grant their sons inscribed swords and knives as a sign of being an adult. These Tyfonians are noted for always carrying their blade with them, as a way to show they are both adults and accepted by their community. If that blade is taken away or lost they are then frowned upon and considered as less than a true Vinlac.
Despite all this conflict they united as one race and people when, in 9 ABY, they were invaded by Space Pirates. These Space Pirates, outfitted with the adequate armor and weaponry, rapidly helping them fight back the violent and deeply connected inhabitants. What tipped the tide in their favor, however, were their small fleet in orbit of who could bombard the planet and defenders at their leisure. They didn't use it often, however, as their contractors wished to use the Vinlac as slaves for his vast mining empire. Out of the ashes of invasion, however, arose a hero: King Vultuth of Clan Kinolk. A mighty warrior, a skilled marksman with a Sedah Rifle, and a good tactician, Vultuth resisted the pirates with his warriors since the beginning. Every instance he could fight the pirates was an instant he took. Naturally this made him a hero for he was seen as being a determined patriot who was fighting to protect his home no matter the odds.
This reputation and near hero worship was not unfounded as two years into the fighting he had come up with a genius plan. He noted that only four ships ever landed or came into orbit: Two transport ships and two light cruisers. He noted that, if they could sneak a few troops onboard, they could potentially overpower their captors and take the ships for themselves. It was risky but it seemed like the only one that could turn the stalemate into a war that was in their favor. When the next scheduled ships landed to take the newly captured slaves to their new hell, the warriors were snuck onboard. When the transporters took off they overpowered the crew, freed the captives, and took the ships back down to the surface. Since the pirate band only had those four ships they didn't dare risk firing on their own investment and instead sent the cruisers down to drop off ground troops to retake the ships. As this happened while most of the army was still around it resulted in the same mistake being made: The pirates were overpowered (this time by sheer numbers) and their ships were captured as well. After being threatened and tortured into sharing how to operate these vessels, the Vinland let them go so long as the pirates vowed to never return to their planet. They are then disarmed and kept prisoner until Vultuth can find somewhere offworld to release them. For now, though, he contends himself with modernizing his people after they recently decided to crown him King of a now united Vinlac.


Brief description of diplomatic relations: Unknown as they have only recently gone to space. However they'd be cautious and suspicious of outsiders.

Did you spend any money on infrastructure?

I don't think we need two same style buildings listed as different items.

Anything else from that game you might recommend?

You can buy most Star Wars games on Steam if you're interested.

Offhand, produce Project Points usable only towards new unit types/upgrades/designs/etc.

Hmm, not that I know of. But that's where things like the Skunkworks might enter play. The Rebels, I imagine, could use a war machine to counter AT-ATs and the like, or heavy siege tanks, and so on.

Thats actually interesting.

Is that how you spell Skunkworks, the only thing coming for me is some Lockheed Martin R&D project.

Also Jhet how is that telling i've never played the game before.

Tag and can I reserved system 13?

Hah, yeah, I think that's where the phrase comes from. I know it from there, and the old SMAC facility. Essentially a factory/laboratory devoted to testing and refining prototypes.

It is. It's a really good game and so much fun.

[North America Inc]

So just to let everyone know, for balancing I've shaved off a good 2000 from the largest factions (specifically the Republic and Empire) to allow for more balancing for everyone!

Also on top of that, everyone in general will receive 1 free Barrack, Vehicle factory, and fighter factory.

[Beutarch]

Reserve System 12 please.
