Beniboybling Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) “No game of dejarik can be won without pawns...” Round 2: The Sol’yc Empire vs Krayt’s Vision Welcome to the second heat of the ‘Kaggath Tournament’. In this second series the competition will be pitting the power bases of player made factions against each other in an epic tournament-style extravaganza. The last battle, the Ascending Empire vs the Alliance of Worlds, was bitter, brutal and much blood was shed. In the end they came together to discuss peace but a battle broke out and the Ascending Empire prevailed. But onto round two. For all those of you aren’t aware, the Kaggath is an ancient rite of the Sith, ‘one part duel, one part large-scale dejarik-match’. The two combatants have full use of their power bases, be it armies, strongholds or fleets, in order to outwit and outmanoeuvre their opponent. The Kaggath is no simple lightsaber duel, although it can come down to one, and the arena can be anywhere: a planet, star system or the entire galaxy. Before we begin, let’s set out the ground rules of the Heats. The arena: the known galaxy.Only those incorporated in the listed in the faction compilations below can take part in the Kaggath.No outside help of any kind, the combatants cannot call upon assets outside their power base or sphere of influence i.e. contacts, access etc. No outside involvement, other powers will not and cannot interrupt or affect the battle, for the purpose of argument they are non-existent. No surrender, fight to the death!Technology level is universal (unless considered archaic or advanced at the time): blaster fire, armouring, lightsabers etc. are all the same regardless of period, all that matters is size, quantity and power. Factions are autonomous – players have no control over their factions decisions, this is determined by the nature of their leadership. So, the combatants: StarSquirrel has submitted the Sol’yc Empire, a fearsome alliance of warriors dedicated to the Mandalorian ways of battle. While LadyKulvax has submitted Krayt’s, a traditional display of Imperial power and Sith dominance. Behold the factions! The Sol’yc Empire Leadership Head of State: Tenel Ka Djo Second-in-Command: Nek Bwau’tu Allies: Jaina Solo and Boba Fett Supplier: MandalMotors Military Minor Ground Force: Mando Cabure (Mandalorian Protectors) & HK-50 Army Major Naval Force: Mandalorian Navy Planets Capital: Esseles Supply Base: Mandalore Stronghold/Military Base: Myrkr Stronghold/Military Base: Telos IV Shipyards: Bilbringi vs Krayt’s Vision Leadership Head of State: Darth Krayt Second-in-Command: Gilad Pellaeon Allies: Darth Talon & Natasi Daala Supplier: Arakyd Industries Military Minor Ground Force: 501st Stormtrooper Legion & Krath War Droids Major Naval Force: Imperial Navy (Fel Empire) Planets Capital: Byss Supply Base: Vulpter Stronghold/Military Base: Prakith Stronghold/Military Base: Koros Major Shipyards: Foerost The Sol’yc Empire has the age-old strength of Mandalorian might while the Imperial Alliance has the training and discipline of Imperial soldiers – but who is greater, who will win? Let the Kaggath begin! Edited July 28, 2013 by Beniboybling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunewalker Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Just random thoughts right now from what I can see Krayt's empire has more tactitians but I feel Squirl's (sorry cant remember your groups name off the top of my head) has the best tactitian in the bunch. Also Jaina Solo was more then just a good duelist and powerful force weilder she had also been trained by Boba Fett who is also on Squilrs team. In terms of putting a strike team together I feel Squirl would have the edge, in terms of Tactics I would almost want to give neither the edge, as which ever location Nek is at Squirl will have the edge but where Nek isn't Krayt's army would, that being said Nek may be able to predict every move his opponents will make and thus be where he needs to be at all times. In terms of pure military stuff I am not sure at the moment and will wait for others to chime in just my initial thoughts on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyKulvax Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I think I definitely have the space advantage 1600 ships including: Imperious-class Star Destroyers. Pallaeon-class Star Destroyers. Ardent-class Fast Frigates. Scythe-class battlecruisers. and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Thrawn had his flaws. But I will always deny the validity of the Thrawn Simulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scythe-class battlecruisers. and more. how do you figure you had that many ships, that seems like really high balling it, as far as the info I can find it was no stronger then the GADF so I wouldn't say more then 600 destroyers/cruisers tops, I mean obviously correct me if am wrong.

LadyKulvax Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 how do you figure you had that many ships, that seems like really high balling it. Because it was said the Fel Empire gained a 15th of the Imperial Navy's former glory, a fifteenth of 25,000 is 1600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just going to shut my mouth from this point on because all that will happen is bringing up an old debate so ya enjoy guys not going to take part in this one, at least I will have the solace in knowing.

Beniboybling Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 How large exactly is the Mandalorian Navy by the way?Numbers are unclear, but it was large enough to challenge the Republic Navy and make significant ground. I suggest we don't attempt to make any specifics, but make a more general comparison focused on abilities rather than numbers - which will probabably make this debate easier anyway.

LadyKulvax Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Well my fleet is heavily comprised of the Pallaeon-class, only one generation down from the Imperious-class, the two most advanced Star Destroyer classes ever made. It also boasts some Scythe-class battlecruisers the replacement for the Star Defenders. Now I am not too knowledgeable on the Mandalorian Navy, but I wouldn't want to give up the numerical advantage of 1600 ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
