GRN vs BAF,KNF,CR - Saturday Jan 8 2011 2000 GMT

Lemaitre's idea for this event

He dropped it in wrong thread:

Captain Stanley Nelson has been captured by a KNF destroyer and hauled back to serve as a POW in Kusari, where he is currently headed for Fuchu Prison.

My idea for how the RP could go from here is as follows:

I have created a special character to represent Nelson as a prisoner, which is currently docked on Fuchu Prison and will remain there for the duration of his captivity (I would appreciate it if you could comment on the Special RP Characters Request I have made for this, to help move things along).
The rescue will form two seperate events, which will take the form of BAF/KNF battles, with some special roles for Privateers &/or Blood Dragons.

The first event would involve my MI6 (or is it MI7?) agent secretly inflitrating and disabling the security in Fuchu, allowing Nelson and some other prisoners to escape from their cells and steal a ship from the Docking Bay. Meanwhile, the BAF fleet would launch a large diversionary attack on Kyushu, to draw the Kusari fleet away from Shikoku so that Nelson could make his escape. Either just leave one or two KNF/KSP ships guarding the prison for Nelson to escape from (or defeat with the help of a BD or two), or else have the KNF fleet break off to rush back towards New Tokyo once they noticed his escape, forcing him to flee North into the arms of the Blood Dragons.

Either way, he should end up being sheltered by the Blood Dragons who take him back to Kyushu base where he can hide from the Kusari (The BD should already trust Nelson as he is the one who delivered the shipment of weapons and supplies to them in the event a few weeks ago). Also in his escape, Unselie has asked that Nelson find and rescue Sam Windsor, who has been languishing in a Kusari prison camp for months now. Too weak to fly her own ship, Nelson takes Sam onto the fighter he steals and gets her safely to Kyoto.

Whilst Sam recovers her health on Kyoto, Nelson would then remain with the dragons, living the life of an outcast with them and accompanying them on raids against Kusari, until the second event.

After some discussions it has been suggested that the second event might take the form of Nelson and the dragons attacking a Samura convoy in Kyushu, and being ambushd and attacked by a large KNF fleet. Some passing Bretonian privateers might pick up Nelson's long-lost comm signature and call up the BAF reserve Fleet in Tau 23, which moves to engage the KNF in an epic battle (capital fleets?) in Kyushu, during which Nelson and Sam Windsor are re-united with the BAF.

Should the BAF win, Nelson and Sam are able to return to Bretonia along with some military supplies/secret information he was able to retreive from the Prison. Should the BAF lose, the 2 of them have to flee alone, making it back to Bretonia but wihtout the whatever other bonus would have been available.

What are people's thoughts on this?

From Dieter: Personally I would be happy to do the first event either this week or next, maybe leaving the second one until January.


If they both have to wait until Jan I would not mind. I can write up some stories, and annoy everyone with Commander Graham Harper, haha...
