Rules:
[*]Battle Meditation may only be used once every 3rd post.
[*]Ships may move an amount of hexes equal to: 11-(speed/2) on the new system or: 11-(speed) on the old system. All rounded up. So a ship with speed 12 on the new system may move 5 hexes per turn.
[*]Each ship begins with a number of shield (if applicable) and hull points equal to its length in metres. How damage is resolved is entirely up to the writer, but a standard indicator of health must be used.
[*]Ships may fire at regular range at 5 hexes, at ‘long range’ at 10 hexes.
[*]The shipyards are resistant to damage and have 2500 shield and 2500 hull points.
[*]All regular SWRP rules must be followed.
[*]One character per writer.
[*]Moving from one battle to another requires a post leaving one battle and another in the new thread arriving. This may only be done once per writer. A writer may not move into a thread where they have another character.

Fleeting System
For this battle I will be testing (yet another) fleeting system for myself. This is not compulsory, mandated or demanded. It is a way for me to provide transparent and predictable reporting into damage for the NPC fleet. Since the droids are there to be target practice, this works well.
Each ship has a shield and hull rating. This starts at full strength. Shields recover at 10% per turn whether or not they are fired on, except if they are at 0, in which case they can only be restored by not being fired at for a turn.
Determining damage will be based on the firing ship’s number of capital guns. This number of capital guns, based on fire arc and range, is totalled. In addition the following modifiers are totalled.
Backstory
Over 850 years ago the galaxy was rocked by the most devastating war it had yet encountered; the Clone Wars. The Galactic Republic, combined with the Jedi Order fought the Confederacy of Independent Systems, killing untold millions and putting the galaxy on the path to Empire.
Few know the truth of how those wars ended, but suddenly it was over. Droids and ships all over the galaxy suddenly stopped working, deactivated. For many years afterwards, even into the New Republic, stashes of deactivated droids continued to pose a threat to those off the beaten path, but eventually the battle droids were destroyed.
Almost all of them anyway.
In a remote system on the far edge of space, the CIS leadership had established a bastion, the Terminus Facility. Here they prepared for a last stand against the oncoming Republic after the death of Count Dooku above Coruscant. However, the facility was never used, and since the Separatist leadership was all liquidated soon after at Mustafar, word of it never leaked out.
The Terminus Facility was designed to be independent, to be hidden, to be secret. It was designed to last.
So when the rest of the Separatist forces deactivated, this facility continued, and followed its standing orders; prepare, defend, hide.
The system, known simply as SX192, was rich in mineral ores which enabled the droids to replace those which decayed, to build more and more ships, droids and weapons, preparing for an attack which never came. Droids do not age or get distracted, those which wore out were recycled and replaced, and soon the planet was defended by a vast host.
And so the facility passed through the Golden Age, the Gulag Virus, the Dark Age and all the other great events. Unknown to all, a great and dangerous treasure waited on the edge of space.
That’s where Rayce Garron came in.
A former Omega Pyre contractor, Rayce had left the Protectorate following the Rapture when his home of Corellia had been destroyed. Now independent, Rayce went freelance with his son Dade, running supplies or contraband. During a struggle with pirates though he was forced to make an emergency jump, ending up in a system far off the space lanes.
As Rayce repaired his ship he started to get unsettling reports. There was something nearby. When he took a closer look he found that a vast fleet was assembled there. Chased by vulture droids and fighters, he escaped by the skin of his teeth.
News of this encounter led to several factions sending probes to the system. None returned intact, but all sent back reports of vast, ancient clone forces. A potential treasure trove to plunder.
Alliances gathered, plans put in place, and Terminus would not remain un-harassed for long!
