This is the main thread for the campaign Republic at War. In it will be posted the end of turn/start of turn reports, and any in character conversation the players may wish to engage in. I would ask that all out of character conversation and observers' posts be contained in the Republic At War: Rules/OC Conversation thread.

Players:

@Bertie Wooster - Republic, Grand Admiral

@clontroper5 - Republic

@Matt3412 - Republic

@FortyInRed - Republic

@LTD - CIS, Grand Admiral

@The Jabbawookie - CIS

Calculations based on previous observations suggest that Republic bureaucratic procedures are causing a delay in assembling the fleet.

ALL SYSTEMS ONLINE, PREPARING EXERCISE.

And the game starts now. Players have 48 hours to get their orders in. If it turns out that you all get them in early, I will reduce the deadline to the time of the last submission plus 1 hour.

Orders submitted.

Calculations complete. Fleet orders processed and distributed.

My troops are ready, awaiting final orders!

We will Dismantle the Sepratist Fools!

Men,

Do not fear death. Only ten percent of you will die in battle.

A clone has to be alert all the time if he expects to keep breathing. If not, some Separatist nerfherder will sneak up behind him and beat him to death with a sock full of Dagobah pond scum.

We will go through those clankers like a lightsaber through a tauntaun.

Yours truly,

Senator Amidala

*dismayed clicking*

CSS Arrogator to command... Bioweapon Project HL-26 has been compromised, repeat, compromised.

CORRUPT politicians threaten the FREEDOM of our great way of life.

SAD.

MAKE OUR GALAXY GREAT AGAIN!

B1 BATTLEDROID BATTALIONS. FEAR NOT, SOME OF YOU MAY BECOME SCRAP IN THE LINE OF BATTLE.

THAT IS A RISK WE HAVE CALCULATED, AND ARE WILLING TO TAKE.

Go where your heart tells you.

Turn 1 report:

Hyperpings at: Saleucami, Mon Cala, Ringo Vinda, Khorm, Raxus.

Waiting on a response to PMs for one player. Nothing affects the rest of you, though, so Turn 2 may start.

Waiting on orders from:

No fights?

No fights?

Not between factions.

The CORRUPT and FAILING senate has sent ships to RINGO VINDA in a VERY DUMB attempt to threaten the FREEDOM of our independent systems.

SAD.

By this action they bring on themselves FIRE AND FURY like no one has ever seen.

Mon Cala, Khorm, and Saleucami have joined our CIS family - the way we were meant to be - FREE!

Why do I see this as opening crawl?

Keep it IC.

Probably the random capitalisation.

Chk chk- But of course!

So the Republic cowers in their fortress worlds, behind their vat-grown soldiers.

We will weave a web around them until all struggles cease... and the harvest will be the sweeter for it.
