A Symphony of Light and Dark: Shadow Council leads the Union in Star Wars! (SBME-SW OOC/Signups)

Because we want a challenge?

Good point. On to the next project, the Missile Boat or what I like to call 'Wait did that thing take out our entire damned fleet and TIE Defenders'

We have the force now... It's KIND of like magic, and force users have masqueraded as sorcerers in the past. In fact, one notable cult of the Sith proclaimed themselves "Sorcerers of Tund," or something like that, and one of their followers was a slug-like thing called Rokur Gepta (spelling possibly incorrect due to it being a) 2 am and b) it's been a LONG time since I read those books.)

Although moon-sized robots beating up star destroyers is something that we should work on. In a more immediate sense, I want power armor that can suplex an AT-AT.

Really? I've always been more partial to a stranglehold myself.

... If I'm understanding what you're saying correctly...

You're saying we should have a group of force-sensitive, mech-piloting luchadores.

... BRILLIANT.

Yes, I thought you'd like that one.

We can sell this for profit.

Now we just have to figure out how to do that to on SSD.

Your thinking too small. We need to figure out how to do it to a planet.

"Our luchadores can make a planet submit. YOU CAN NOT DEFEAT US."

I am having way too much fun with this LP.

Any chance this happiness and good cheer can be spelled out as a piece of really good luck for us? Like, say, All the defenses and bad guys at Kessl spontaneously disapearing for a few hours while we rescue everyone? No? No. Well, it was worth a shot.

Why do I have this hilarious mental image of one of our force-sensitive Luchadores declaring that Vader, since he's wearing a mask as well, is one of them, and challenges him to the ring of honor?

Luchadores, the Commonwealth equivalent of Jedi/Sith.

New rule. Each time you pilot one you must wear the mask of either Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, or Rory Williams.

Why do I get the image of one Commonwealth Reaper ship having a wrestling match with a imperial fleet. And another image of the imperial army running away from magic-wielding luchadores.

Because we are all clinically insane?

What do you think the answers going to be, this is SB after all.

Magic-wielding Luchadore Reapers.

God I love this website.

Well the Melee ships or Biotic ship ideas didn't happen so...

Magic Luchadore BOLO here we come.

EDIT:

Ok, back to business. What is our battleplan for Kessel.

We can probably use Destroyer-model Reapers as counters to Imperial Walkers in ground combat.

I'd also, on a slightly more serious note, recommend updating our mammoth tanks, or making an even nastier replacement.

That's actually a good idea to do. The Reapers can carry troops, have decent firepower on the ground and a scary enough to make the imperials retreat if necessary.

Is it BOLO time now?

On a lighter note.

As for Kessel... I suggested we sneak a warpgate onto the planet and use that to infiltrate our Manticores. Enact a mass prison break that includes the Jedi Kids and Starkiller. Meanwhile, we use our fleet assets to cover the ground battle.

Blink missile spam. that's all we need to do. should smash the fleets enough.

Palpatine if we win: Why don't you just kill me?

High Luchadore Bane: Your punishment must be more severe. When your Empire crumbles and the Sith fall, then you have my permission to die.

BRILLIANT!

Or better yet, we do it to Darth Vader.

You know what occurs to me? The Warp Missiles aren't actually flawed in design; they're still a great way to deploy the weapons from multiple light-seconds away (an awesome range advantage). What we need is to update the warheads so they are effective against SW tech.

Then, we can wipe out the Ssi-Ruuk.
