Des Voh Stellar, Sky isnt with us yet... Im not going to stage his entrance like that. He'll show up eventually. I'll respond in kind, but you should probably edit. The person with Caisar is a bothan. Probably one each is rather familiar with after the last two weeks.

I did not know that you could program viruses for alien computer systems designed by creatures not even of your own biological class.

Cale Darksun I did not know that you could program viruses for alien computer systems designed by creatures not even of your own biological class.
Also, in all of the EU that I've read, I haven't come across an instance of a character having difficulty accessing a computer system designed by someone on a vastly different planet, or of a different species. I haven't read everything, and there might be one or two out there in the EU somewhere. My point is, nowhere in the Star Wars mythos is it suggested that hardware and software isn't universal.
Your point makes sense from a logical and realistic basis, it just lacks precedent in the materials we're basing the RP around. But I can take it into consideration in further posts, and would actually prefer to. More challenging, generally means more interesting.

It's not always universal.
It's always possible someone out there develops a new computer system with a completely different layout and OS. However, as far as I know, that's never been stated anywhere, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.
Also, the credits aren't entirely universal. Usually whatever faction is the big galactic power will issue its own credits, and won't accept others. Kinda like nowadays in the US, Confederate money isn't considered legal currency, even though it was at one time.
I'm just pointing it out.

I'll detail out the Alpha Support Contingent of the Minos Cluster for those interested...
One large bulk freighter, refitted as a mobile base. Minos Home
Two mid-size war corvettes. Talon's Grip and The Vanguard Shia
Four mid-size freighters, two of which are civilian contractors.
Two mid-size transports.
Two light transports.
Two gunships, and two squadrons of starfighters.
Four shuttles, plus one(Hopper).
The group tends to stay in orbit to a planet with a small Republic outpost on the surface, no name for it, just a designation. Most of its military personnel is made of sector enlisted, with some Republic Marines and Navy officers from the Core. Its a reserve group for the Sector's defenses, but its also valuable in that its away from any major locations in the effect of an attack. Pirates have tried for it more than once, but it can defend itself well enough.
The only thing with a hanger with space to spare really are the corvettes and Minos Home. Which could be considered your 'intelligence vessel'. The rest are either stock ships or waiting to be utilized by need.

DA's correct. At this point in time, there are three major printers of currency: The Republic, The Empire and the Hutt Cartel which uses a monetary system centered around a base eight notation, which is what you're converting the local money of Ruuria to. This is not even including the fact that even semi independent planets will have their own currency for the most part. The Video game glosses over this for gameplay reasons, but even the prequels acknowledge that different worlds have different currency and values for that currency, perhaps one of the few points in their favor when it came to exploring the Star Wars Universe. In Palpantine's time, he standardized the Imperial Credit and made it the currency of the galaxy, though there is still about several thousand years of inflation to deal with. You could get a Target Blaster in the TOR era for about 25 Republic credits, but towards the fall of the Republic, you couldn't get a Sporting Pistol for under 300 credits, and even then you still needed a license.

Which could be considered your 'intelligence vessel'. The rest are either stock ships or waiting to be utilized by need. The Task Force under Cinn is as follows The Harrower Class Battlecruisers Executioner, Serpent of Doom, and the Night Iron. Each ship is supported by three Terminus class destroyers and two Gage class transports for a total task force ship number of 18 ships. If we were to include fury class interceptor ships NOT being used as the personal vessels of Sith, I would estimate there would be four such vessels for each battlecruiser, but that is a generous assumption. Fighters are not counted. Each Battlecruiser and its support ships can break off from the main task force to act as an independent squadron designated by the Battlecruiser leading the squadron, IE Night Iron would command Night Iron Squadron. The role of this task force is to pursue Sith Imperial interests and come to battle with opposing forces. It has the firepower to take a world but not to hold it and is designed more to bring the Emperor's fury down upon his enemies and to provide a visual display of the Empire's power for allies who's convictions may be in doubt.

I wish I could include the Defender-Class light corvette, but they haven't been invented just yet, I think.

It has and it hasn't; as of right now, it'd still be in prototype stages, and even if it was invented, it'd be purely for use by the jedi order. So it won't be found in fleet actions, and most jedi currently in the game do not serve a vital enough role to even necessitate a state of the art ship.
Check back in 5-10 years. XD

Yeah, I already asked. They're pretty much Jedi exclusive.

XD Actually after going over a few notes on the Wookie... http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Fall_of_KorribanWith the re-shifting of canon... It has. confused This is Bioware sources as well, mind you, so its TOR canon. But thats a finicky thing. But even with them existing currently, they are still Jedi-only.

Id really like to know by what methods you're using to decide what is canon and what isn't for our Guild rp...
Even if none of the characters currently in-game can justify using or receiving one, its a bit ridiculous to outright deny its existence when we have so many other things that blow canoncy out of the water.
