Inducted at the age of consent into the Imperial Millitary she was top of her class, an easy pick for officer candidacy, she was fast tracked into classes on advanced captiol ship theory, astrophysics, engineering and near anything that caught her eye.Part of this respect came from her Eidetic memory. More still came from her background in a prestigious millitary family, early supporters of the Emperor's rise to power. And lastly it came from her striving devotion to perfection. Unlike even the most conservitive of officers she loved the empire and the emperor. Litterally.Introduced in passing to the emperor at the age of 14, she grew infatuated with the man, spending every waking moment in search of perfection in the hope that her proficiency would be noticed, and that she could help make his dream of an orderly galexy a reality.In some ways this made her the perfect officer to command the Inquisitor. She obeyed orders without questions, would willingly sacrifice anything, up to and including her own life or the lives of millions to achieve an order handed down from the emperor himself.Offered the post she jumped at the chance, an untried officer, on an untried ship going after the rebellions finest.(Probably going to be noble 6ish. I'll need to get the information on that officer class, though I doubt it can be entered this soon anyways.)(Also. As far as corrections to the system go. The mass/mega/regular system is nice but it requires huge retooling. My suggestion is a bit more simple.Looking at the numbers I think the biggest problem with they system is capitol scale hp/dr. X-wing lasers do an average of 68 damage on a firelinked burst. On average it can kill or nearly kill a tie fighter, which seems average to the books/series/games.The problem is that a Squadron of x-wings firing those guns at an imp-star drops its shields, which makes ZERO sense by any of the above qualifications.So the solution would be twoscale. Increase the DR of capitol ships, and vastly increase their hp.As an example. An x-wing has 30 Shields, and 120 hull. An impstar, 300 shields and 700 hull. So ten x-wings can take as 300 shield damage, and 1200 hull? More than an impstar?So we need a benchmark. Assuming we keep standard DR and damages. Fortunately the books have an answer.X-wing book 4. A Victory II takes a full volley of torp's from Rogue squadron, dropping but not penetrating its shields. This means that a Victory II could take (9d10x2)x24 damage to its shields and just have them fail. Average? 2376 damage.The numbers seem obscene, but keep in mind these are captiol class ships. The biggest problem the RCR has is that they didn't want to go to such high numbers. Capitol ships should not be capable of being shot down by a trio of x-wings.Basically I would suggest increasing the HP substantially, If I had to set a benchmark I'd use the impstar at 4-5000 shields, and maybe 2/3 that much as hull (They tend to shield tank a lot.)</blockquote>
