A War for the Stars

[Erax]

Andres has been doing a lot of work on the mod, so maybe the Version that's up for download is different from mine. And my Version has been tweaked (a few important 'standard' tech areas were made available, more troop types were created and fighter propulsion was redone).

You really only need the mod to see the tech trees so you'll know what research leads to what components. Everything runs on either standard SEIV tech or Star Wars tech straight from the movies. The exception is what I call 'pre-tech' - implosion drives and such - which you don't see in the movies but are logical steps in the technological evolution that leads to the tech seen in the original trilogy.

You're also helping a lot Erax.
I'll try to upload something more up to date soon.

BTW it would be correct to tall turns "months" in the story, IIRC 1 starwars standard year is divided into 10 moths.

[Andrés]

Terran year based on Earth orbital period
12 months (30, 31 and 28 days each) = 365 days

SE4 Year based on "Malfador" orbital period?
10 months (30 days each) = 300 days

Starwars Standard year based on Coruscant orbital period
10 months (35 days each) + 3 festival weeks (5 days each) + 3 holidays = 368 days

OK, here goes my ad hoc explanation : All Imperial personnel in this story come from a part of the Galaxy in which months are called 'tenths' !

I wouldn't feel comfortable with a name change halfway through the story. And going back and editing every post to change "tenth" -> "month" is too much trouble.

If I ever collect this story into one single text, I'll do some editing and fix this.

CODED TRANSMISSION
From: Brigadier Tefnar, Sector Stormtrooper Division
To: Admiral Wiers

Gesaril IX, 2404.9. All hail the Emperor.

Admiral,

We have just received the full ground combat reports from Aram I. Half of the First Stormtrooper Brigade - Fyrine II's full load - was lost in the battle for the planet, but that does not mean there were no survivors. Many of our troopers were wounded in action, but survived the battle and are now being cared for aboard their transport or on the planet itself. While most of them may never be fit for active duty again, they are other ways in which they may serve the Emire.

They are the survivors of the most important ground battle in this sector and our greatest victory to date. I suggest we bring these survivors to Gesaril IX and employ them as instructors for the next generation of Stormtroopers. Their fame should inspire our future soldiers to even higher standards of valor.

We took Aram I, but no one in the Stormtrooper Division - or the Sector - must ever forget its cost.

Nice as always, but just ho well trained are your storm troopers? if they're anything like the real star wars then no wonder they sustained heavy losses Good entry!

Sometimes planets can be tough nuts to crack.
