Fiction - Tarsonis Under Siege
With the latest sign of insolence of Task Force Republic Shield, Titan has put all their chips on the table and has launched an all-out assault on the crippled New Republic. This story and this fiction will be broken down on action on the ground and space.

On planet Tarsonis, an assault on multiple fronts forces the planet into disarray. An insurrection coupled with a frontal assault from Titan pummels the Republic Shield into submission. The RS, it’s political and military system, stands at the very brink of destruction. An exorbitant amount of loss of live plagues the inhabitants of the planet along with the scores of soldiers who have given their lives for the sake of the Republic. Now, Republic Shield’s command structure scrambles to avoid Titan’s forces, who are now planetside and are sweeping their way through New Morea to finish the damage that the insurgents began.

Meanwhile, space superiority continues its tug-of-war as Titan spreads its forces and strangles Republic Shield territory. Reports of damage throughout the sector and the amounting losses form fissures on the barrier of protection. Over the planet, dropship after dropship overwhelms the attention of their fighters while capital ships punish the dwindling forces in an all-out brawl. Attention shifts to the needs of preservation, and the RS now must weigh their choices in the midst of its greatest challenge.

Participant Overall Objective: In a fiction based story, RS forces will work together through the writing of fiction post. The objective is for people to work together and write their assault and ultimately do all they can to preserve the survival of the RS as we know it. Because of the stalemate of battles, Titan has made a fair push on New Morea. Already in shambles from the insurrection, the city is unsafe, and Titan’s push is to cripple the command structure of the RS’ capital.

In space, your focus will be dispelling the enemy fighters, preventing any more dropships from getting through the planet, and taking out some of the capital ships that are there. Considering the forces or lack thereof, it may prove difficult to do this effectively, but Rebel innovation and intuition may prove useful.

On the ground, your main focus should be working your way to the command center and quite possibly the medbay, dealing with any threats along the way. Danger looms over the higher command structure in the RS. If Titan were to eliminate the power structure, then it would further split the cavernous divide within and create more dissension and distrust in the Republic Shield.



Individual Scoring: IronMan will once again GM the story. Scoring will take place based on the number of post per each session. If that requirement is met, then the total words from posts will be tallied. Extra points will be given for joint posts or creative/witty actions, and whether or not objectives have been landed. (Joint posts will share the number of words in the posts). Bonus points will be factored in for creativity, humor, and joint posts among peers.

RS Defeat:The command structure of Task Force Republic Shield is eliminated, creating dissent among its social structure and fueling more instability on New Morea and across Tarsonis. In space, Titan wipes out about 75% of RS forces.

Stalemate: The command structure of Task Force Republic Shield is preserved, but its personnel is forced to evacuate the planet. New Morea’s government structure loses stability, and is prone to several groups plotting to overtake control. Titan gains control of the city. Length of recovery is doubled. In space, Titan is beat back, but 50% of RS forces.
Objective: At least 4 unique post will take place for each phase of the thread (16 total). Joint post between several individuals will count as multiple post depending on the number in said post.

Minor RS Victory:The command structure of Task Force Republic Shield remains intact and remains planetside. New Morea’s New Republic government structure gains stability while confidence in the RS slightly increases. Normal length of recovery from the aftermath of Titan. 25% of the forces in space are lost.
Objective: Stalemate objectives. In addition, at least one (1) joint post must take place AND/OR at least two (3) post must be over 500 words per each phase.

Major RS Victory: The command structure of Task Force Republic Shield not only remains intact, but also secures RS influence in the city, restoring a significant number of confidence to the citizens of New Morea. Titan officers are captured and brought in for interrogation. Threats of any insurgencies are stifled and eliminated. New Morea recovery in rapid time. Space maintains its forces.
Objective: Stalemate objectives. In addition, one (2) joint post must take place AND/OR one (2) post must be over 1,000 words per each phase.
