BHG|Core vs Order|

[Montezuma/Kukulcan]

Guild Core v [color=#000000]The Order

[font=agency fb]General premise

[color=#000000]Things are getting progressively worse for the Order, the Guild Core continues to pour men and ships into the war at an astounding rate, confident of victory for their cause, the Nomads still lurk in the depths, constantly posing a threat and are also beginning to make their weight felt on the inhabitants of Omicron Minor, striking with ever increasing force and disappearing with equivalent guile. The Order wishes to hold their ground for as long as is possible, while contingency plans and extreme measures are enacted by the High Command in order to protect all that they have worked to build, and ensure that they can continue to operate under their mandate of the protection of humanity with continued vigour.

Things on the other hand seem to be working as the Guild Core has planned, the Order are slowly being pushed back, their skill and technological advantages are being eaten away under the weight of overwhelming Core numerical and material superiority, the Nomads still do not yet seem to challenge the Core's advances, and yet while they mount lightning strikes against Core forces, have not yet brought a major force to bear, the Corsair presence in Core claimed territory is slowly burning out and they no longer pose a major threat to Guild Core operations. The Guild council has seen fit to commit ever more resources to the Core in the hope that soon the Order will be crushed beneath the embodied iron fist of the Guild Core, and that they may soon begin laying the groundwork for all out conquest and resettlement of the Omicron systems.

As such, a major flashpoint has been encountered in the form of Omicron Lost and the surrounding area, from where the Order can mount flanking strikes on the Core's fleets around the Omicron Minor jump hole as they advance into their home, and which the Core wishes to bring under their dominion, to stop the strikes, but also for other, as yet undisclosed purposes.

[color=#FFFFFF]Event times

The events will be staged on a weekly basis, the exact time may be subject to change should it be required by a certain party, said time being Saturday, 7 PM GMT.

[color=#FFFFFF]Event locations

The events, to begin with, will be centred around Omicron Lost, however this is not set in stone, and other areas may be explored for RP purposes, along with diversification of locale.

[color=#FFFFFF]Participants

To begin with, the events will be limited to Order| and BHG|Core ships, though there may be a possibility for Nomads or other forces to take part in future should RP require their presence.

The forces that each side my bring are also subject to possible change and adjustment, but to begin with will be as follows:

• One Battleship (Osiris - Mako)
  
• One Cruiser or Battlecruiser (Resheph/Geb - Thresher/Bullhead)
  
• Two Gunboats (Hathor - Orca/Bottlenose)
  
• Four Bombers (Sekhmet - BHG Bomber)
  
• Six Fighters* (Bastet/Nepthys - Manta/Hammerhead/Sea Serpent)
  

*Either side is not expected to bring a full six fighters along with other ships, but in order to prevent numbers being excessively one-sided, unless both sides wish to bring more, six will be the maximum.
