Cramped conditions have made the 3 day journey to Bilbringi a boring and exhausting trip. You feel the shuttle drop out of hyperspace with a shudder.

The comms spring to life with a stern female voice:
"Shuttle Omidas this is Armiger control, we have you on approach. Please transmit code clearance and flight plan."

Pilot:
"Armiger control, request hangar access for crew transfer. Transmitting code clearance now."

Control:
"Clearance received. Welcome home Omidas. Please proceed to hangar bay 3."

Pilot:
"Copy control, proceeding to hangar bay 3."

The shuttle proceeds to dock smoothly, coming to a rest with a light bump. The loading ramp lowers with a hiss, allowing you to exit the shuttle.

Outside on the hangar deck, you're met by a squad of stormtroopers, A human male officer and a 3D-4X droid. The officer is a handsome man with graying temples, a short blonde haircut and brown eyes.

Officer:
"Welcome to the Armiger. I'm Captain Hawkwith. I've been informed by command that you're to be our new Fighter squadron. Your orders will come directly from Admiral Czarinova's assistant, Threedee-Fourexx. After you receive your orders, report to the flight deck barracks for your bunk assignments. Mission briefing for our current operation will commence at 0900. Carry on."

Here's the discussion thread for Alpha Group.

Loyal citizens of the Empire, welcome to the program.
I'll be selecting 6 pilots to undertake dangerous missions that will combine both space superiority and ground operations. Using these combined arms approaches to special operations, we intend to retake many of the core worlds we have lost in recent years.

The Year: 11 ABY
The Faction: Imperial Navy

Character creation guidelines: Level 5 starting. Feel free to multiclass.

Stat minimums- Str and Con 10+, Dex 12+, (Commander only) Cha + Wis 12+.

Classes allowed: Any except jedi or force oriented prestige classes.

Bonus skill: 1 rank of pilot every level.
Bonus feat: Vehicular combat.

Races: Human preferred. Chiss, Rodian, Trandoshan, Zabrak, Devonarian, Near Human, Duros, Gungan, Noghri and Quarren are more accepted non-human races. No Yuzhan Vong. Most other races allowed, but will experience distrust and discrimination.

Equipment will be provided.

Characters may be force sensitive and take other force feats, but I'd prefer to keep it very low force.

I'll likely be using Roll20.net for maps, but combat and all rolls will be here on the forums.

Recruitment will run until Monday, May 20th at 10am.

Feel free to ask any questions you need answered in the thread.

I'm looking to see if enough people would like to play in an Imperial themed campaign that I'm in the process of designing. I'm a first time PbP GM, though I've GM'd many games for years in Tabletop, so some issues may arise, but I don't foresee anything serious.

Here's the premise:
The year is 11 ABY. The second death star has been destroyed. Unlike in the canon, Luke Skywalker died on the death star, along with the Emperor and Darth Vader. As such, the Jedi are now extinct. It's been 6 years since the Empire's defeat at Endor, and the galaxy is locked in a stalemate. Currently, Grand Admiral Thrawn, after returning from the unknown regions, has merged the "Empire of the Hand" with the remaining Imperial worlds and been declared "Supreme Commander" of the Empire. Thrawn has enacted a myriad of changes that have had sweeping effects on the war. Non-humans and women have been integrated into the military and government to an equal degree as men. This has caused an uproar among some of the nobility. The strong support of the Moffs and Admiralty at large, has gone a long way toward stifling dissent, but issues remain.

This is where you come in.

The average Imperial citizen in the core has lived their life under the shadow of the empire, in safety and relative luxury. The "rebellion" (now the "New Republic") has been taking world after world and committing acts of terrorism. This is a frightening thing to most loyal citizens, who just want to live in peace. Defending one's home from a hostile invader is becoming a major surge in support for the war. You are one of these citizens.

The campaign, will center around you being a squadron of Imperial pilots, beginning stationed on a Victory II class star destroyer. I'd like to start characters out at level 5, right on the cusp of becoming an elite force. The game will be as a military drama, the horrors of war and how men and women can come together in times of war. Combat will be handled here. I'm not sure yet how I want to handle maps, but likely will be on Rolld20.

So. How many of you would like to be a part of that sort of thing?
