Fleet Action! Blue Team HQ

[Dekana]

Rear Admiral Luis Garros
Garros is a native of the Haskins Corridor sector, having been raised a military brat on Olympus 3. Following the family tradition, he received a commission in the UP stellar navy. For most of his career he has captained the Destroyer Opportune, proving himself a capable leader and logical thinker. But with the Ghoal-UP war raging, many ships and personnel have been called to the front. As a result, Garros has been promoted. Inexperienced, and with few resources at his command, the Rear Admiral is tasked with commanding several smaller sized vessels to root out piracy in the region.

Skills: Escort Operations
Traits: Under Confident

I would volunteer command over some of the sector's O class destroyers, Ranger class corvettes, and one or two Yeager class escort carriers; at least, those which aren't tied with a conflicting mission, such as another admiral's fleet operations.

I just saw the thread. It will take me a little bit to get caught up.

Yea!

Commander Endross Straven

Skill: Electronic Warfare

Traits: Aggressive

Commander Straven was born on a pirate mining ship in the Thule sector. His 'family' was
mostly a band of opportunistic ruffians looking to stay away from the vast UP bureaucracy
that encroaches on their right to free enterprise. They stayed and traded in the systems
around Thule and tried to avoid as much unwanted contact as possible.

Endross had a knack for electronics and could usually find a way to mitigate problems with
their communications while in areas of ores and other materials that interfered with comms.
He also had an intuitive understanding for how communications worked and how other disparate
things could affect them. He found himself very usefull when trying to hide his 'family'
from other opportunistic free enterprisers or UP scouts.

He always watched in awe as he saw formations of massive ships that the UP military
wielded in steady and clean formations which was a stark contrast to the rag-tag group that
he lived and worked with.

One day pirates attacked a star port that his 'family' was trading at and several military
members were there. They assisted in the star ports' defense even when the pirates had the
advantage and were boarding. Endross scared half out of his mind pushed one of the
officers over as he was struggling to get the comms up to call for back up.

Endross asked a few questions, slapped the controls around a few times, and wham they had
comms. Shortly after that he accepted training in the UP military, quickly rising through
the ranks due to his innate understanding of communications.

He was one of the youngest Technical Officers to accept a commission and take command.
He relies a bit on his tactical officers he believes a good offense is the best defense.
If they are dead they can hardly fight back. He does however have an immense
appreciation for the EW and subtle side of a tactical engagement to which some jar heads
find disconcerting because they are quite aware that he does not mind just going and
blowing things up, and are waiting for him to get to it already, instead of all of this
techincal dancing.

Requested Troops

2 Renown Class Battle Cruisers (BC Repulse, BC Resolute)
2 O Class Destroyers (DD Osiris, DD Orpheus)

4 Ranger Class Corvettes (CT Courage, CT Fury, CT Impulse, CT Ready)

1 Beach Head (DS Normandy)

1 Avenger
2 Kings Fisher

3 Jeager Infantry
1 Star Marine Infantry
2 Osprey Attack Aircraft


I know that I will need some sort of troop transport.
I am pretty flexible as far what assets I have. I do prefer the more maneuverable units, but will adapt accordingly.

Perhaps we should assign our Sector Commander first and then divvy up responsibilities? Perhaps Rhun as the SC seeming as he has played before?

 

[Rhun]

2 Renown Class Battle Cruisers (BC Repulse, BC Resolute)
2 O Class Destroyers (DD Osiris, DD Orpheus)

Can we negotiate? I had originally wanted the Resolute as Admiral Cross' flagship.


As far as Sector Commander goes, I would be happy to do that if you guys want me. But the game never really got off the ground the first time around, so I'm not sure I have that much more knowledge than anyone else.

 

[FreeXenon]

Ahhh... of course.

 

[OnlytheStrong]

I could be wrong, but I assumed it would work like the military we have now. Each are in charge of an area, the area's where we need to overlap requires cooperation. Like if one of you need marines or some other ground force, you talk to me. I'd issue the order that gave you what you needed.

I could be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time I was

 

[WarShrike]

Creating a role like this without knowing much of anything beforehand is difficult, and subject to alot of tweaking. That said, allow me to present:

Carrier Group Fleet Admiral Nathan Strong
Skill: Carrier Operations
Trait: Vindictive

Requesting:
Warspite Class Battleships
BB Warlord.

Yeager Class Escort Carrier
CVE Prince, CVE Jamaica, CVE St. Andrews, CVE Cordova.
+4 Avenger Squadrons
+6 Cutlass Fighters Squadrons
+3 Kingfisher Squadrons
+4 Huntsman Bombers Squadrons

O Class Destroyers
DD Oberon, DD Orion.

Ranger Class Corvettes
CT Fury, CT Restless, CT Tenacity.

Beachhead Class Drop Ships
DS Siapan.
+3 Grenadier Infantry Brigades.

While this is true, I believe Yellow Sign also wants us to choose one person to act as the overall Sector Commander.

 

[Rhun]

I don't know how many of us there are going to be, so Admiral Cross' fleet request is subject to change. But for now:


Warspite Class Battleships
BB Warrior

Renown Class Battle Cruisers
BC Resolute, BC Royal Sovereign

Neslon Class Heavy Cruisers
CA Drake, CA Grant

O Class Destroyers
DD Oracle, DD Odin

Ranger Class Corvettes
CT Surprise, CT Temptress, CT Brisk.

Yeager Class Escort Carrier
CVE St. Josepha

Blacksmith Class Repair and Supply Ships
RS-1

He doesn't need any troop carriers or landing vessels, as that is not Cross' area of expertise.
