' Wrote:1) Privateers attack in Kyushu - retrieve prisoner (ship is taken over by Brinkley) take through tau 23 (not chased
2) KNF race through Tradelanes to Tau 31, second, bigger battle happens there - indies and BAF re-enforcements arrive
The essence of the outline , thanks , Coriko .
Brinkley and Co's takeover sounds great for the story , if KNF are happy to transfer the motherlode of prisoners to the newly created AT Athenian mentioned ?
Respawn will be necessary for only the KNF , I think ( the pilots downed during the initial raid , maybe 2 fighter escort , we dont want to get bogged down in a protracted battle ( which would kind of defeat the whole lightning raid premise ) ? ) , to give them a chance to fight in the main battle .
I'm also thinking ... the KNF blocking force could be in place befor the raiders reach T31 , and be in an engagement with the BAF cover force ( May have been standing by in Leeds , see the Kusari build up , jump to T31 to engage / provide cover for escaping raiders ? )
Just to reiterate : The primary objective is the retrieval of the prisoners , in particular Sir Roger and the QCID man ( Does he have vital intelligence for BAF Command ? ) . Once they are safely in Leeds , BAF and KNF can disengage ... or continue ( BAF-P and Mandalorians can return to assist after the objective is safe ? )
This is , again , an outline . Once the first shot is fired , everything comes down to the decisions of the commanders ( I'm assuming that'll be Blunt for the raiders , Dieter for the BAF reinfircements , KNF ... Lotek/Mjolnir ) on the scene , maybe we dont go through Tau 23 after all ... heh heh :crazy:!
