That's right Beff. You just got pwned by Irtar.

Unto different news and to keep the thread on Telan's Finale on topic...

I wouldn't mind participating depending on whom else takes part. After all, I'm sure you want it done in the month you have left and if EVERYONE joins, it's either A) going to be rushed or B) not get finished

All are welcome, but be reminded that your additions will be subtopics. It is definitely open to all but just keep in mind that the main theme is going to be Desaria's losing his love, fighting off a pirate attack, and the running away of his lover with an enemy soldier.

That said, ALL are welcome to come aboard since this is happening roughly seven IC years ago. You can post as yourself, enjoy the hospitality of the galaxy's most illustrious passanger liner, or post something totally alien by boycotting the egalitarian nature of ships with classes and aristocrats aboard.

The ship will be unarmed save one double turbolaser and an onboard escort of four Mark IV TIE Defender variants. The ship will be flying a neutral flag and carry allegiance to no government save its own corporate headquarters.

It will, in an homage to the fallen ship we are alluding to, be owned by the White Nova Line.

I am deciding on a name. I have narrowed it down to
Olympic
Andrea Doria
Galaxia

Also - personal weapons will be permitted - side arms - only if someone has a military affiliation *Empire, GC, BDE et al* or is law enforcement of some kind. Jedi and Sith will be permitted to carry their lightsabres but must sign a release forbidding them from altering the mental status/controlling of any crewmember or officer. The ship's security detail will be equipped with a force cage and appropriate anti-force user weaponry as needed.

I was doing some specs and am no set on using the Fifth Element ship. Her crew will number 4,000 and passangers at full-load 35,000.

There will also - of course - be enough escape pods for 15,000 souls.

The ship's Captain is going to be totally different from the original Captain John Smith - this one is going to be competent. His name - Captain Hans Langsdorff (((history buffs will know this was the commander of the Panzerschiffe Graf Spee)))

Any questions?

I begin tonight.

Yeah, but you've no idea what some people may do to poor child Irtar....

I don't want to have to change Irtar to be mentally scared thanks to coming across Telan and his Concubines! :P

Bah - there will be no concubines on this cruise. There may be on the ship though - prostitution is legal in the Empire and other places I am sure.

Prostitution is legal in the where now!?! Sign me up Commodore!

Edit: And checked my character age, this would put him at the tender age of 14. And I'm sure you all don't want to put up with Irtar's teen angst :P

Actually yes

In the Empire, prostitution is an age old profession and it is tightly regulated. Pros must be healthy and are monitored by Bureau of Health and Humanoid Services. They receive continued innoculations and often are found in brothels each with its own security detail to assure that the men/women/aliens employed there are taken care of and not hurt.
