Rapax, report to the nearest Imperial Squadron... You have been drafted... Time to get off the fence and take command of a Decimator... The submarine training you have been undergoing has been the perfect pre-requisite training for this assignment.

Assuming that goes well, i will probably see about trying to start a guild for new transfers or people creating imp pilot alts. THe idea is to get them all under one roof so communication is easier. Much easier to send a email to "guild" then a large friends list. Of course i have no grand dellusions here, as most people will want to go to an established guild like BSA or BSIV or something like that.
But the plan is there, i have a spot staked out 300 meters from the starship terminal at talus imp outpost upon which ive placed a guildhall. If things are go they will be go sometime in a time frame unspecified after publish 24 after ive mined my ass off since no imp ship has 3 gun slots.If things are no go, then i will take that guild hall, and put it where my house currently is on rori, and stay where im at.
Right now im in wait and see mode, and a little probbing here or there to see what im dealing with. Deep down when sometings not right, i just can't ignore it and not feel guilty about not having done anything about it. Its just how i am. Otherwise, id never raise so much fuss and be perfectly content where i am now.

)While i havent committed myself, i am exploring my options and am hatching up a master plan. The details of which im investigating for plausiblity.
EDIT:

You asked me for details--I gave you all the info you wanted, and you decided to go Rebel all on your own.

Part of the reason i went rebel is because i didnt like the sound of what i heard - ive since resolved to see if i can help with that.
IF i cant do anything to help i simply wont worry about it. It depends on how much people are willing to work with each other, and how recpetive they are at an attempt at restructuring. If things are in the negative with that, i wont lose any sleep over it - and ill start pestering you alot more about events

Talus... ugh
Why not Naboo? hehe
Rapax, when I get to SS I will hook up with you and we will square things away. I am not worried at all...
Oh and as for your career... Captain I present you with the following:
Decimator VT49 Decimator Assault Craft (manufacturer unknown)
150k Resources ~5m mass [SP: 0 Guns MP:+2] 3 missiles ******YES! 3 MISSILES!!*****
[Spdx ?? Acc 5 Dec 5 Pitch 50 Yaw 50 Roll 37.5]
The VT49 Decimator is most correctly classified as an Assault ship. It is heavily armed and armored, and built to carry light to medium loads into dangerous places. Its form follows its function, and its shape offers a relatively small target with no large fins or wings as seen in some of the less combat-oriented craft of the Empire, such as the Lambda-class shuttle. Armor and deflector shielding is particularly heavy, and the weapons load-out is fearsome and includes turrets capable of engaging any target fast enough to out-maneuver the VT49.
As a ship built to out-fight anything it can outrun, and outrun anything it can't outfight, the Empire uses the Decimator as a multi-role craft and will outfit it to suit the current need. Decimators make simple supply runs to listening outposts in dangerous areas like asteroid belts, perform long-range reconnaissance, serve as temporary listening posts themselves, or act as picket ships at the perimeter of an Imperial fleet. They are also called upon to use their weaponry to carve a path through enemy defenses and insert shock troops and raiding parties, or destroy their targets outright. A more recent duty that has fallen into favor sees Decimators being used more and more as long-duration medium patrol vessels. Also, being easier to hide than a frigate or Star Destroyer, Decimators have been used to set up ambushes in areas believed frequented by Rebel shipping; their cargo space being used to store food for the crew and ammunition ranging from missiles to torpedoes to mines.
Command of a VT49 is a coveted position and point of pride among the middle ranks of the Imperial Navy. It is a lightly-crewed combat vessel for their Captains to command without a higher ranking officer standing behind them constantly. Also, earning a reputation as a skilled VT49 Captain is seen as a jumping-off point to service on the larger ships of the Imperial Navy. The line officers of the Imperial Navy generally look down on the rank and file troops not stationed on capitol ships, but that hasn't stopped the rumor from propagating.
