He needs to already have backup on the way for there to be a fight. Either that or Riysa could be under the command of a more senior admiral as apart of a larger battlefleet and we could duke it out at Amritsar. If he runs I don't have the authority as a vice admiral to escalate things and attack him at Iserlohn.

Currently, there are two Imperial Fleets Amritsar, the Garrison fleet of 5000 and Battle Fleet Isenburg with 10,000. The two fleets cant talk to each other due to interference from the star. Riysa has 500 ships under his command, but is apart of a much larger alliance fleet also in the system? Or will they arrive after I begin chasing him as reinforcements? Note that there is system-wide jamming so he won't be able to get a sos message off in time after the battle starts.

I re-read his post. There are reinforcements arriving later, it seems, and Nidal will assume command.Danceria wrote:I came here to tag at you.

I'm torn, on one hand the Empire hasa potential waifuwoman of great renown, or perhaps a bit of spunk is what's needed for the Alliance. Due to the Empire liberalizing, I don't think that there's really any reason to side with the Alliance since they are an out-and-out dictatorship.

Well if i have my way, i'll turn the Empire back into a totalitarian absolutist state but that's much further down the line. We do need more Alliance commanders though, since they currently have a deficit of admirals

Yes, which is why Isenburg is dissatisfied with it since it puts limits on the power that is able to be exerted by the head of state. If you have time, do you want to expand on the power balance between the factions in the Imperial and alliance governments right now?

Some clarification - I talked with Brit over TG a couple days ago about Nidal leading the fleet, so I decided to run with "emergency scramble of whatever's available, chain-of-command is broken, good luck." The second post I'm working on right now is describing how he's trying to overcome that and organize the fleet in time for the battle.
There's an additional 5,000 ships on the Imperial side? I thought it was going to be ~10k vs 10k?

An Admiral would be preferable but I won't stop you from apping as a pilot

What I'm going for is an atypical Space Pirate siding with the Rebel Alliance (stop me if you've heard this one before), and I'd imagine that she'd snag a few pretty vessels either for scrap, intel, or to just straight up impress into her service as sort of bullet sponges (Since Imperial Vessels tend to have more armor/mass and less gunnage than their Alliance counterparts). My main "stratagems" rely upon mobility rather than barraging the enemy, having a rather fluid motion of battle to prevent being boxed in and Twin-Serpent'd. Speaking of, do y'all mind if I create a sort of "OC donut steel" class starship that is basically like a miniature Malevolence from Star Wars? As in a ship designed to negate ships via EMPs? It'll certainly not be as large as what I'm basing it off of, but still, a surgically placed EMP can shut down several decks of a capital ship, depriving critical support fire, or leaving the ship a sitting duck for boarding, or even overloading the reactor whilst their power is focused elsewhere (either on shields, guns, ect).
