The Battle Of Caprica

[Sidney Bainbridge]

We are preparing for 'The Battle of Caprica' here soon. I have started a thread for the leadership to join in to on July 4th for them to begin the planning. This means the word of this plan will start to spread right after this and people will be getting ready for it after that point. Come the 14th of July we will be making the battle happen so try and keep threads before this so we don't have a clash of timelines.

Feel free to make post between this time that you mention things about it and what you are doing to prepare. keep an eye on the main thread of the leadership for details of what is going on.


A quick summery of what is planned is a full scale attack using all of the military ships and the armed civilian ships are likely to take a small part in it as well. It will involve all vipers/Raptors and Marines. We will be fighting whatever ships the Cylons have there along with making a ground assault to try and recover President Adar as there are rumors of him still being alive from the time the Resistance was on Caprica. This is going to be a very dangerous mission and nerves will be running at full in the time we are prepping for this attack. Have fun and enjoy, we will be getting to the battle portion in not to long so bear with us as we get things set up for the colonials greatest offensive yet.

I am going to get us some threads started for the big even. something to start leading us in to the beginning process of it all. Roger if you have any plans or thoughts please let me know. I figure Colonial Day is pretty much wrapped up and the Fire is just about to it's close so I figure we need to start getting things going. I'll use the events account to get these started and I will give a brief idea if where people are supposed to be.


Hyperion - We are going to need all hands on deck, Viper pilots, Raptor Pilots, Deck Crew. We are going to need all of you on the deck. We will also have Marine crews that will be going down from Raptors here if we have any of those.

Hyperion - CIC we will need all the big names in the CIC. Roger, Sid, Krista, Sarah Samuel James. If you are al able to be ready for this we are all needed there.

***Note*** Merrick I am not sure if you want to be in the CIC with all the leadership communicating by wireless there or if you would prefer to be on the Hephaestus where your land ram groups are going to be leaving from. I will leave that one up to you but over there I think it will be a bit more limited for people to directly RP with. If you are on the CIC you can always post there and be communicating with your troops from there as well.

Hephaestus - Again All hands. In this case it will be Landrams going this route along with the nuggets squad and Chris. (azzie this mean Kenzi is needed yay)

Any others who do not have placement We can always have medical teams on the Heph for assistance as it is on the ground for the operation so it is were our injured marines will be.

By the way the first part of the thread is going to be just as we are getting ready to kick things off. This means we will not be right out in the air or on the ground first thing. SO you will have time for a few posts of your personal process of preparing yourself.
