From Alliance High Command:

Greetings pilots. Unfortunately, our assault on the Dantooine system failed. However, both sides have been left low on supplies. We need to move a convoy in to reinforce our position, but we’ll need a distraction to do this. The distraction will be a strike on an Imperial convoy headed to resupply the Dantooine station, thus strengthening our position and weakening theirs. We have intercepted the flight plan of such a convoy that is passing through Nubian space before traveling to Dantooine. After the convoy has been destroyed, all forces will move to the Dantooine system to escort our own convoy. If our plan fails, you will execute a strike on the Imperial Station in Naboo to keep them guessing about our overall strategy. Good luck and may the Force be with you.

OOC: Convoy busting time! The convoy itself must be made up of POBs, however, I’m not placing a minimum or maximum on the size of the convoy. If you only field one POB, the other side only has to kill one. If you field five, the other side has to kill five. I’m leaving that up to factional commanders. The convoys will follow a set flight plan, though they do not need to fly together. I’ll post the flight plan for each convoy later today. The POBs will follow the flight plan for 15 minutes, then make their way towards the nearest factional station. Each side only needs one ship from the convoy to reach the station to win. Timing for the vent will work like this: I will send Ramona/Resha a tell signaling the start of the event. Once this happens, factional coordinators are responsible for keeping track of time. If one side is late, tough break, the round starts anyway. Round one starts when I send Ramona the tell, round two starts 30 minutes later.

Rules:

No E-Pulsing
Relics are strongly discouraged
No loadkilling at the safe hyperpoints
Rounds are free-return
Naboo: Safe hyperpoints are Kylantha's Whim for Imperials and Prenumbra Omen for Rebels

Imperial convoy flightplan:

Trade Federation Hulk
Old Trade Federation Route
Emperor's Way
Sovereignty Dawn
Adamant Mass
Rebellion Remnants
rinse, repeat as needed
Dantooine: Safe hyperpoints are Isryn's Veil for Imperials and Dantooine's Wrath for Rebels

Rebel convoy flightplan:

Legacy YT Indigo Blue
Ebon Essentia
Sserician Empire
Dantooine's Second Star
Ith'ril Eventide
Area D-502
rinse, repeat as needed
Note that all flightplan waypoints are POIs and can be found on the system map (N key by default)

If you have any questions send Adumar an email in-game.

If I can get enough people, I will bring up my Decimator, Val Halla. I'll need one other pilot to be co-pilot, 2 gunners, and an engineer. Gunners and engineers don't need to be pilots.

Send me a tell in game if you wanna go for a ride :-)

cmon guys you know you want to. Actually maybe you don't know you want to but I assure you do want to go. In that case you should defiantly go.
