You need me? I was waiting for your response.

My response?

My response is up. I'll add more later today.

@North I do believe that Adm Pistrix's Task Force is under cloak...

I do believe that the avonites have a border wide GSN...

I do believe that the avonites have a border wide GSN...

I do believe that would have affected the behaviour and posturing of the Romulan fleet on your southern border...

It's not (or at least wasn't at the time of this writing) listed in the factbook—is that kosher?

Well, this isn't the first time I mentioned the GSN. And in universe you could just say that the Romulans were unaware of the GSN. If you want I could compromise a bit.

North is correct that this has been discussed before:

@North I'm not sure one could detect a Romulan vessel using it's gravity.  The power source is an artificial quantum singularity, so I'm not even sure what the gravity signature for a Romulan vessel would even be, really.  ( @taulover any ideas?)  However, it would be more obvious now that the vessel has entered the atmosphere and is displacing a heck of a lot of particles...

Except according to star trek lore the Federation used something similar to detect cloaked Romulan ships before the Tachyon network.

Which episode?  Now I'm curious!!

A similar concept also exists in Star Wars, which I alluded to in one of my earlier Wintreath Remnant posts:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Crystal_gravfield_trap

I would also like to remind everyone that this RP uses Star Wars (Legends) tech as its base, and as such this is allowed.

Yes, I'm aware this was something covered before, my confusion stems from the following:

Considering that the Gravitic sensor net was a detection flaw compensated for before 11th of December 2015 OOC, how do we estimate the time that would be taken by the Imperial Navy to overhaul at least a simple majority of their fleets from the Mark 3 to Mark 4 cloaks?  (This reference to information contained under Imperial Tech->Combat Tech->Romulan Special Tech->Cloaking Devices, and according to my editing log pre-2016.)

Additionally:

IRW Venator Stellarum
Computer Bridge Record
Avon, Avonite Enclave

"Subcommander!  Weapons have commenced firing on Avonite anti-air batteries and we are proceeding to the Commander's position.  Forward quantum torpedoes are locked and loaded, awaiting your command to fire at the hostiles on the ground.  Aft quantums have already commenced firing on Avonite anti-air batteries.  We are now 300 metres from the surface of Avon.  We should be much harder to hit now.  Repair crews standing by on systems hit by enemy batteries.  Repairs are estimated to take four hours.  Moderate damage to energy shielding and forward deflector array, sir."  a Centurion bellowed from the weapons console.

Subcommander Semal replied immediately, "Intensify aft shields and forward disruptor fire!  Launch drone fighters and prepare gunships for the creation of a defensive perimeter—" 

Lieutenant Grandek jumed in: "Sir incoming transmission from Romulus!  High Command has dispatched Admiral Pistrix from New Witchmond and his fleet.  They should arrive in a day. Additionally, the Tal Shiar has requisitioned four ICC Legium-class cruisers in northern New Witchmond, which are to join Admiral Pistrix's fleet en route." 

Damn!  Semal thought.  How are we supposed to last that long against half a planet!?  "Prepare indiscriminate firing sequences and begin routing all weapons controls through the central computer.  All weapons batteries shall continue firing at their discretion."
AvCom
Industries Spirit, Avon
Avonite Enclave

Commander Gela drew her repeating disruptor.  Well, now is as good a time as any, I suppose, she thought to herself.  "Squads 2 and 3 intensify suppressing fire!  I'm going to contact the shuttle!"

She pressed her communications band, "Centurion move the shuttle behind Darkcloak's lines on the surface, decloak, and begin firing main disruptors.  That should help them out a bit.  Also, deploy Squad 1 while you're at it.  We can't let these lines crumble!" 

The response crackled in, "It shall be done, m'Lady." 
,
She watched as below the green Dominia-class shuttle decloaked behind the defending Avonites and began blasting away with its forward disruptors.  Against a capital ship, they weren't much, but against infantry, they more than suffice, she chucked to herself as she continued blasting away at the hostile Avonites from the roof.
Admiral Pistrix's Fleet
IRW D'Venorex Elysia
Southern United Kervian Chain Space
En Route to Avonite Enclave

"Open a channel to all vessels in the fleet!"  Admiral Pistrix barked, as the vessels entered hyperspace, "This is Rear Admiral Pistrix on D'Venorex Elysia!  All crews will continue damage control drills and weapons simulations until this fleet is within two hours of its destination!  We will be prepared for anything!!  Pistrix out."

The clearly discontented Admiral turned to his communications officer, "Have those worthless ICC ships made contact yet!?  I can't believe we're being forced to work in conjunction with that damn mechanised private army!

Interestingly enough, Legium class vessels do not include cloaks, at least according to my factbook, because they are technically requisitioned civilian vessels.  In fact, I doubt they'd even technically show up as Romulan (granted I think there are ~5 D'Deridex warbirds and a Falchion with them, if memory serves about right).  ~8-10 ships total.  Hardly an invasion fleet.
I'm open to editing too...  just not really sure what to do

Well, I am going to put in a lot of flaws for the GSN.  And if a bunch of cloaked ships are detected by the network created specifically to detect Romulans it would be safe to assume that Romulans are afoot. And while it is not a large fleet a fleet of warbirds coming in when everyone is on the protocol for imminent invasion would make anyone nervous.

@North And how about responding to me?

Eine minuten, eine minuten

The new post is up, hope y'all found it ok.

The new post is up, hope y'all found it ok.

North I'm unfamiliar with Avonite communications systems, but can planet-wide emergency communications be initiated from AvCom? 

How do you mean?

Like this?

BURST MESSAGE. END. HIGH COMMAND, AVON. END. STATE OF EMERGENCY DECLARED BY AUTHORITY OF COUNCILOR KIR DARKCLOAK. END. COUP D'ETAT ATTEMPTED BY UNKNOWN FORCES. END. ALL FORCES TO  DECLARE LOYALTY TO THE COUNCIL LED BY KIR DARKCLOAK. END. CONTINUE PERTINENT RAPTURE. END.

"This is Councilor Jan Lightbringer from the Capital Building in Avon. This is an Emergency Broadcast on all signals. A Coup D'etat was attempted by unknown forces earlier today. Councilor Art Marshwalker died defending Avon. A state of emergency has been declared by myself and all Avonite Armed Forces are to declare loyalty to me. End transmission.

Followers of Spode, hear us now! You have been betrayed! An attempt was made earlier today to destroy our Council and the Commonwealth! Jim Windwaver was killed defending the God That Will Come and the Reconciliators are dead! Councilor Des Skyflyer and Vox Evangelical Yul Deacon stand with Spode against the Heathens, join us now and pledge Loyalty To Des Skyflyer!
