Aces of Siruis RPG Signups

Aces of Siruis is an RPG about squadrons and individual cap ships. Instead of controlling and individual member to a whole government, you control an army unit. You develop specific characters and you defend you region of space Eventually all the different units will merge into one storyline as told by different units.

Anyways the combat system will be standard rp based. You describe your attacks, the enemy posts their damage and counters. You can attack NPC's also within reason or request the GM me or assitant GM who will be appointed later, to RP your enemy.

If your a member of a house you can choose the following, they can also choose to serve at their own unique base or at an existing in game base:

Battleship Commander:
1 Battleship, 4 Heavy Fighter Wings (4 fighters each)

Cruiser Group Commander:
3 Cruisers, 8 Light Fighter Wings

Gunboat Squadron Commander:
6 Gunboats
2 Heavy Fighter Wings
4 Light Fighter Wings

If you are a Pirate, Zoner, or BHG Commander you control:

Fighter Squadron Commander:
3 VHF Wings
or 6 HF Wings
or 12 LF Wings

Smuggler's can opt to replace any number of wings with CSV's

If you are a merchant you control:

3 Trains
2 Armoured Transports
4 LF Wings

All groups will recieve equal chances to make an impact on the story line. We need all groups, merchants can be heros and if they do well. Rewards for missions will be awarded on merit and some can be very nice.

What you need:

A character profiles and what type of unit your commanding and for who. Here is an example of what is needed, this will be mine. Each profile can be unique, but a description of your unit and commander would be nice.


Unit Name: Corsairs '32nd Squadron: Black Jackals'
Symbol: An anubis head symbol painted onto the side wings of the ships
Description: The Black Jackals model themselves after Anubis they decide who is just to live and who is not. At least that is their belief. They are an incredibly superstitious squadron. They do not pirate convoys carrying what the deem soft goods. Rather they hit those carrying hard goods, this includes niobuim, gold, gems, and light arms. They like the ancient egyptian god envision themselves holding a scale and measuring what souls should be devoured and what should be allowed to live.
Unit Base: Alexandria Base (located in Magellan)
Unit Force: 3 VHF Titan Wings
Commander Name: Triyun Kun
Description: The commander of the squadron is a man who has served for nearly 20 years in the service of the Corsairs and is coming to the end of his piloting days. His unit is currently in a pretty cushy spot between Liberty and Bretonia taking their booty. His units main competition is the Lane Hackers, but he has yet to discover the location of their base. Most of his supplies he has to steal because of their position so far from the main Corsair supply bases.

This sounds really cool. I'll join

Unit Name: Bundschuh Squadron Theta 3, Codename: Demon Fires
Symbol: A horned bull super-imposed over a black-red flame
Description: A hit-and-run group of Bundschuh fighters, this squadron, headed by Commander Erich Saarden, is an unbeatable foe in the face of enemies. Designed and made up of the best geurrilla fighters in possible all Sirius, they are assigned to make their way to a designated area, quickly and without fail assassinating and destroying their targets. They view themselves as the fire, the instrument of the demon of retribution, bringing destruction down on Rhineland.
Unit Base: Berne, New Berlin. A Base constructed near the Frankfurt jumphole made purposely to bring raining death upon the Rhineland capital.
Commander Name: Erich Saarden
History: Not much is known about this shadowy commander save for his devastating and lightning quick kills in the battlefield. He came to the Bundschuh 12 years ago disgusted by the corruption that racked his land. His young face bears familiarity to some, and to his friends he always seems to be hiding a closely-kept secret. Nevertheless his batte skills are astounding. He is a great asset to the Bundschuh.
Unit force: 3 wings of Sabre VHFs

Hmm... Reminds me of my "Victory At All Costs" fanfic.
I'll join too. Sounds like a nice distraction from CYOF and stuff.

Unit Name: Liberty 3rd Special Task Force "Whirlwhinds" (Cruiser Group)
Symbol: Background of a Liberty cruiser, foreground of a whirlwind.
Description: Working mostly out of California, the Whirlwinds are a powerful combat force. Very mobile, and capalble of striking a deadly blow, they are responsible for protecting Liberty trade with Bretonia. They guard convoys in the California, New York, Magellan, and Cortez systems, with occasional forays into Manchester. Pirates are their enemies, and they hunt and kill pirates and pirate bases on a regular basis. Sworn enemies of the Lane Hacker pirates, they seek to destroy their hidden base in Magellan and stop their frequent attacks on convoys between Liberty and Bretonia. Also, rumors of a small Corsair prescence somewhere in Magellan could be another threat.
Unit Base: Freedom Outpost, in California.
Unit Force: 3 Liberty Cruisers, 8 "Patriot" Liberty LF wings.
Commander Name: Rear Admiral William Black
Description: Admiral William Black is an old war hero from the war between Liberty and Rheinland, and Bretonia and Kusari. After helping to save Sirius during that war, he has taken command of a Liberty Special Task Force, and is based out of the new Freedom Outpost in California. Hidden within an ice cloud near Williard Research Station, the outpost can accomidate all his cruisers and fighters, and gives fast repairs. The home of his task force is secret to all except the highest officers in the Navy. While Black's force is still a part of the Navy, it acts independently and without orders from Naval Command.

Post Fri Dec 24, 2004 2:46 pm

Thank you. I thought it would be nice to tie things in a bit, since aspects of this remind me a lot of that story.

If anyone hasn't already read my fic, here is a link.

GB edit your profile down a bit. No losses is a bit extreme.

Post Fri Dec 24, 2004 3:48 pm

No losses= good pilots

yeah, no losses is just a LITTLE extreme Try "with minimal losses" or something like that.

Post Fri Dec 24, 2004 4:04 pm

Wilde's right, to have no losses is extreme. These are Titans with relative power to other VHF's not Titan's that can take on all of New Berlins defense force alone. They just have a bit more armor and shielding as well as additional repair systems.

Post Fri Dec 24, 2004 4:10 pm

Jacob I'll read over your fan fic and then try and incorporate the story into the RPG since your using the same char.

Post Fri Dec 24, 2004 4:18 pm

You mean be stationed at the same base yes. But if your a corsairs squadron your allied with every corsair squadron. Though if you add someone, it would be nice if we had more the VHF's for variety sake.

GB your squadron is now approved.
