1a. IC Background
"Sir, we're coming out of hyperspace." The Rebel helmsman droned to the Captain of the EF76 Nebulon-B frigate Consulibus.
"Very well. Signal the fleet to prepare for engagement. Have the drop-ships ready for departure. All hands to battle stations," the veteran captain stated. The frigate was the flagship of a new Roving Line. Flanked by Corellian Gunships, Corvettes, fighters and freighters, the battle-group was to engage the Victory-class Star Destroyer Manifest Destiny and her fighter contingent long enough for the Rebel reinforcements to land on the surface.
The fleet lurched out of hyperspace, the Destiny and her escorts dead ahead as the Rebel fighters and freighters moved forward to attacked followed by the Corellian ships. The captain ordered, "Drop-ships, prepare to depart,. He sighed for a moment as the lasers began to flash around and explosions could be seen, "You know the plan, stay on the surface until transport can be arranged off Talus. Good luck, and may the Force be with you."
A miscellaneous assortment of shuttles, freighters, and fighters, which the captain called "drop-ships" faded on to the planet's surface. The Consulibus captain transferred the remaining data to the Alliance intelligence operative in the Sector as Operation Grassy Plains was about to begin.

1b. IC Background
"Commander! Our scanners have picked up several Rebel ships entering the Sector! They have engaged the Manifest Destiny. The report should be uploaded to your datapad, sir.," the young Com Operator enthusiastically reports to Major Arev Basten. The Fort Keen Commander did not share his optimistic appraisal of the situation, however.
Basten reclines in his office chair, watching the holovid, mumbling to himself, "Even with the Outer Rim reinforcements, we may not have enough to hold them back." Arev rises from his desk, taking charge of the situation, "Contact the commanders, have them meet me in the Command Center. Senty Outposts on full alert," looking away, taking a breath, "...and summon the Militia."
"Yes sir!" the operator dutifully replies with a salute, leaving the office.
The officer casually strolls away from the Commander Center, his hand in his pocket, and a gentle breeze blowing against his hair, "And so, it comes down to this. The Rebels underestimate this Fort and her Commander."

3. Capturing Officers
All Officers (those IC Lieutenant rank and above) will have the chance to be captured providing they are still alive at the end of the battle. This will present an certain risk to those who RP faction officers. Of particular interest will be the Imperial and Rebel commanders.

1. Officer must consent to being captured.
2. No opposing faction soldiers may be within 100m or less.
3. No Officer may be captured while inside the Cloning Center, in transit to their site of incap (from subsequent DB), or loading into the battlefield area or respective shuttleports.
3. Duration of capture (and possible torture) will be determined between the captor and prisoner.

4. Rules of Engagement
(Based off of Cas-ru's RoE and SixT's RoE.)
I. No buffs outside of equipment
II. No specials outside of Bacta Spray (which should be emoted out)
III. No Heavy Weapons
IV. No Auto Attack
V. Try to fire in bursts, short for pistols and carbines, long for rifles.
VI. When incapcitated, go prone until revived by IC Medic (does not have to be Medic profession)
VII. If DB'd respawn in Fort Keen, return to your previous location, go prone, and await revival by a medic.
VIII. If revived, you are limited to walking, not running, and may no longer engage in combat (all duels are canceled). IC injuries are at the player's discretion.
NOTE: These rules are designed to create and immersible, tactical RP. Without using Specials, communication will be crucial as your team must rely on open communication to defeat targets effectively. These rules may be adjusted up to one hour before the event. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks!
