Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm set on what I posted on page 18 for my bio. I'll repost it here so you don't have to hunt for it. If it's acceptable as it is, then this is what I'm going with.



Name: Diana LeClaide
Rank: Lieutenant
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Assignment: Stormtrooper, Platoon Commander
Main weapon: Customized heavy repeater
Side weapon: Customized blaster pistol
Short History: Diana showed promise when she applied to the Stormtrooper Corps, graduating at the officer level, and receiving a promotion shortly after when she showed she could handle command of a platoon. That promotion landed her in a backwater post aboard the ISD Resolve. Her indoctrination of being fiercely loyal to the Empire during her stormtrooper training suddenly turned into questioning it. It seemed they just quietly sent rejects to such positions. She began to doubt the Empire really cared about its people.

That doubt grew as time went on. The platoon she commanded was mostly women, and very few stormtroopers of outside of it respected her, even though she outranked the vast majority of them, since only a handful were officers, and not all of the officers were above her.

It seemed to turn around however, when everyone seemed to loosen up after settling in. Several of the female stormtroopers, including herself, took part in what they called the Miss Galactic Empire beauty pageant. The ones that took part posed for spectators and judges in bikinis made from stormtrooper armor parts. Everyone had fun, and Diana won the title of Miss Galactic Empire 1 ABY. However, the pageant brought with it a running joke, calling the women " bikinitroopers " as a tease.

Things went to Hell soon after. Diana and her platoon were in agreement about the Empire, as were some others aboard the ship. In fact, it seemed that enough thought the Empire was wrong to start a mutiny. At 1st, she led her platoon along with the other stormtroopers to maintain the security of the ship, but when ordered to shoot everyone that didn't surrender without questioned, that changed everything. She ordered her platoon to fire on the other stormtroopers instead, and it seemed several others had the same idea. A massive firefight within the Resolve soon followed.

After everything was quiet, Diana was shaken. She had seen the truth behind the Empire she swore to protect and turned against it. She personally gunned down several people she would've considered friends, and those under her command followed her lead. After some time to think, she steeled herself, determined to do what she feels is right.

Description: Miss Galactic Empire Standing at about 5'7" with dark brown hair and dark blue eyes, Diana usually wears various light clothing when not in uniform

Of Course! That's what I expected you to do.

Since DA hasn't been consumed with a need for a large force or to display the number remaining soldiers in her platoon her profile is perfectly acceptable. (I expect the platoon to number less than 35 so it can seamlessly be absorbed by the remaining Zero-G Stormtroopers (5) and retrained for Zero-G combat.)

I was going to suggest: a flechette round in one cheek, out one cheek, in the other cheek, out the other cheek.

That happened to Meriwether Lewis during the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

lol. Nice one Nelo.

Everyone who has a copy is going to really be helped if they dig out their copy of Star Wars Cross-Sections. Especially Des and Cale whose jobs will involve running all over the ship fixing things, searching for sabotage, and so forth.

Do you think I'll have to make an OGG article describing where everything is on a Star Destroyer? I'm already tempted to make one on firing arcs for the ship, its astounding how few weapons the ISD can bring to bear if you're behind it, below it, or above it. The only time its really, really dangerous is if you're directly in front or to the sides.

I used to have a copy of that, I'll have to hunt it down, if not, I can go by the bookstore.

Wait, nvm, mine was based on Ep 1. sweatdrop

But honestly, I think it would still be a good idea to post an OGG on it. As for cross-section, one can be found here though it is unlabeled.

In all reality, the odds of me letting a smuggler of all things touch any part of my precision instrument of war are going to be long. Astronomically so.

Here's a question: how tall is the average deck in an imperial starship? I've got between 157 and 94 decks for our ship, depending entirely on the height of the ceiling. I think I'll go with 94 decks and call it an average of 5 meters.

Have fun with the COMPNOR agents torturing you in a forgotten bunk until you agree to shut down the ships engines.

I think youll be having plenty of fun then.
