Open Orbit

*The history is currently unknown.*

:: This is Grand Moff Ton Grendal of the Grendal Pirate Consortum and Governor of Tynna. I am requesting permission to send a delegate to Dorin to form an alliance. We wish to offer a mutual-aide agreement as well as a trade agreement. Please respond either to myself on Trian or my second in command, Associate Moff Endor, Lt. Governor of Tynna on Tynna. We look forward to your reply. Grendal, out. ::

*A Pirate Vessel emerges from hyperspace. The ship is a heavily modified Space ARC Star Cruiser, transmitting the code name "Swift Vengeance. On the bridge of the ship is an Ewok Captain who can't seem to stop yelling at his crew members.*

=Tarfang=
You lazy bunch of useless bantha turds! I said Dorin, not Doran!

=Crew Chief=
Sir, this is Dorin.

=Tarfang=
I know, thats what I said. You took us to the wrong place. The computer says this is Doran.

*The crew chief goes over to the Captain's console and looks at the monitor.*

=Crew Chief=
Oh I see the problem. Your monitor has a speck of some sort of sauce on it. I told you not to eat on the bridge.

=Tarfang=
Its my bridge and I will do what I want. Now fix it.

*The Crew Chief gives the monitor a good wipe and steps away. Captain Tarfang can now see that the "Swift Vengeance" has truly arrived at Dorin, not Droan.*

*Captain Tarfang hops up from his seat and looks out the viewport.*

=Tarfang=
Nice planet, I hope their friendly. Open a channel to the planets surface.

=CC=
Aye aye Captain.

*A channel opens to Durin's surface on a wide frequency.*

=Tarfang=
:: This is Captain Tarfang of the vessel "Swift Vengeance". Under orders of an old friend, I have come to your lovely planet to set up a peaceful treaty with the Grendal Pirate Consortum, based on Tynna. I will be heading down to the surface shortly in a shuttle and hopefully you can schedule me in for a meeting with whomever is in charge. I will see you shortly. ::

*Captain Tarfang closes the channel and turns to his Crew Chief.*

=Tarfang=
You have the bridge chief, don't damage my ship while I'm gone. Understood?

=CC=
I'll treat it as if it were my own.

=Tarfang=
I know, thats what worries me.

*With that, the Ewok Captain swaggers to the hanger where an old YT-1300 Light Freighter is waiting for him. He enters the ship and quickly powers it up. He then pilots the freighter out of the Swift Vengeance's hanger and heads towards the planets surface.*

:: Captain Tarfang, we've been expecting you...welcome to Dorin. I am Senator Garen Laulbrei. As I'm sure Grendal has informed you we ask that you wear a protective breathing apparatus and body suit as our planet does not support oxygen. Please land whenever you are ready and come to the Baran Do temples in the city I will meet you there! Laulbrei out. ::

*Reef One, a Mon Calamari Ceremonial Ship: a diplomatic cruiser, painted in Galactic Senate Blue with Senate Seals on the side and Diplomatic Red strips and Reef Squadron, 12 Mon Calamari Amphibious Starfighters exit out of hyperspace.*

[NPC]Dorin Flight Control,

This is Reef One & Reef Squadron requesting permission to land. The Speaker of the Galactic Senate, his staff, his security personal, and Reef One crew are on board Reef One, in addition to Reef Squadron pilots.

The Speaker is here on a State Visit.[/NPC]

:: Reef One, this is Ryshrii Kloo of flight control, your request to land is permitted, please land on the loading dock highlighted by crimson running lights, welcome to Dorin Speaker, you've been expected by Shriooh Rhyhoon Laulbrei, he shall meet you at the landing zones when you land...please remember to wear a proper breathing apparatus and environmental suit during your visit due to the planets lack of oxygen. Flight control out. ::

*A lone StealthX emerges from hyperspace and heads towards the planets surface.*

OOC: ...continued from Baran Do Temple*

*Endor's StealthX emerges from the planets atmosphere and heads back into hyperspace.*

*The Reef One, a Mon Calamari Ceremonial Ship: a diplomatic cruiser, painted in Galactic Senate Blue with Senate Seals on the side and Diplomatic Red strips, meets up with its escort Reef Squadron, 12 Mon Calamari Amphibious Starfighters and jumps into hyperspace.*

*A lone GPC StealthX emerges from hyperspace. The Governor of Tynna is performing another flyby of the Expansion Region, and Dorin is the next planet on his list. He takes his starfighter down towards the planet surface.*

OOC: ...continued from Baran Do Temple.*

*A lone StealthX emerges from Dorin's atmosphere and jumps to hyperspace once free of the planets gravity well.*

OOC: DORIN'S PLANETARY DEFENSES ARE NOW OPERATIONAL!*

15 V-180 Anti-Orbital Ion Cannons

15 W-165 Planetary Turbolasters

Planetary Shutter Shields

5 Golan I Space Defense Platforms

5 Golan II Space Defense Platforms

5 Golan III Space Defense Platforms

1 Viscount-class Star Defender (Dorin SSD New Republic defense craft)

1 MC80 Home One-class Star Cruiser

1 MC80 Liberty-class Star Cruiser

6 MC40a Light Cruisers

4 MC30c Frigates

4 Mon Calamari Corvettes

36 (3 Squadron) Heavy Starfighters

36 (3 Squadron) Amphibious Starfighters

The Planetary Shutter Shields suddenly erupt in a massive ball of fire and shrapnel...apparently the construction crew didn't put it together as well as we hoped, too bad. All other defenses stay the same.

OOC: Hmm...should have hired a Wookiee to do the job. There pretty good when it comes to mechanics. Question, the shutter shield your having built, will that prevent friendly craft from dropping in whenever they feel like or is it just designed to keep out hostile forces?*

OOC: Well it doesn't exist anymore as you can see cause I was told by the admins that that planetary shields are not allowed...which totally sucks cause if someone attacks while I'm gone at College...I'm screwed!!!*

OOC: You don't have internet access at your college? I wouldn't worry too much if I were you, technically speaking, someone can't just come and role play out a big attack on you or your planet unless you are there. If they start saying stuff like they blew up all your orbital defenses and ships, then there actually calling hits which your not allowed to do.*

OOC: I'm not sure if I agree about the planetary shield bit anyways. It doesn't promote role playing because it limits people access to all the planets in the galaxy. Personally I think people should have full access to everywhere we've read about, seen in the movies, and played on in the games. That way people can follow in the steps of their favourite characters and such.*

OOC: Oh no I have Internet up at College...I even got a new Laptop recently! But the thing is I'm going into my Junior year and so I need to focus mainly on my studies so that I can succeed in my Major! As for the shields...I agree but nothings going to change unless someone complains and since no one has attempted to attack Dorin I'm fine with how things are presently!*

OOC: Now my scheming brain is kicking in. I've got a suggestion for you...if you can't be on all the time, how about you let the GPC patrol your orbit for you. That would keep your planet looking occupied(because I post pretty much every day) and will also deter someone from attacking. All the GPC would ask in return is permission to have an embassy on your open terrain. Not a base mind you, just an embassy with diplomats.*
