Faction Simulated Fleet Exercise ABJECT KRAYT | open to all New Imperial Order members

[Merlon Assail]

OOC/ So the idea here is to do a simplified fleet engagement.

RULES:

• This is a lifelike and accurate simulation. You are in a virtual reality holochamber.
• Start in ONE hex at the edge of the map, taking whatever formation you see fit.
• As shown in map updates, I will assign you to Red Team or Blue Team after your first post. This means you can't just drop in and attack in post #1. The guy next to you could be an enemy or ally; you don't know yet.
• You can divide your simulated task force into 2-4 hexes, if you deem it wise.
• Capital ships can move 2 hexes per turn; starfighters and other small craft can move 4 hexes per turn.
• Capital ships can fire at forces up to 3 hexes away.
• Starfighters and other small craft can fire at ships in the SAME hex or in an ADJACENT hex.
• IDENTIFY YOUR FORCES' HEX LOCATIONS WITH EVERY POST.
• Follow a respectful posting order with anyone who's doing anything that directly affects you. Otherwise, go nuts.
• NO FACTORY SUBS.
• To join, just jump in at any point, as long as you start at the edge of the map.

IC/ Officers of various ranks, auxiliaries, other government associates - plenty of NIO personnel had been invited to participate in a series of simulated fleet engagements. The goal, apparently, was for the Navy to find untapped potential. Captain Merlon Assail was, for lack of a better term, the gamemaster. He sat in a real-world control chamber, monitoring both the simulation and the participants. Right now, each participant would be booting up as commander of an identical and generic task force:

• 1 Star Destroyer with 6 squadrons
• 2 frigates with 2 squadrons each
• 5 corvettes

Marlon Sularen's Task Force jumped out of hyperspace arriving in the "1010" Hex at the edge of the simulation map. The Force consisting of a Praefect-Class Star Destroyer , 2 Corvus-Class Frigates , 5 Vandal-Class Corvettes and 10 Tie/D Drone Squadrons quickly moved into a 1/4/3 Formation in which would provide the lead-ship enough protection from any star-fighter attacks with the Tie Drones still docked and waiting for orders to be deployed.

This simulation , Marlon thought would be the perfect opportunity to develop new strategies for the upcoming war against the Sith Empire and develop his own naval strategy in which revolved around the use of Carriers and Starfighters. To Marlon Sularen , Battlecarriers as he called them were much more effective then Star Destroyers and Battlecruisers as most Naval Commanders preferred the use overwhelming firepower rather then focusing on Starfighter Supremacy. In his battles , Marlon Sularen rarely saw other commanders try to seek Starfighter Supremacy mostly deploying large fleets with the intent of decimating smaller ones with overwhelming firepower with Starfighter Supremacy being a Secondary Concern for these officers.

This simulation would atleast help Marlon prove the ineffectiveness of Star Destroyers in the face of superior Starfighter Forces with the use of Tie Drones whom would allow Marlon to amass a larger number of vessels. Despite the absence of Battlecarriers in his fleet , Marlon belived that his Tie Drones would be enough unless someone had the same thoughts as him. As he waited for the other commanders , Marlon began devising his strategy for the upcoming simulated battle.
