HH could you maybe change Battlegroup to something else? It could be confusing.
"The Mandalorian Battlegroup defeats the outnumbered Federation Battlegroup."

Actually it was not covered by TCW at all, a bit referenced but nothing more. From what I have seen they have done their best to modify, adapt or otherwise integrate the existing Mandalorian stories.

Its not pretty but it works I guess.

TCW butchered the Mandalorians and how they fight, I was disgusted when I saw some combat techniques.

Good thing the picture never loaded on my PC.

Well seeing as how it led to the events portrayed in TCW it offers a full view of the event.

"Seems" meaning I could be incorrect, I did not see you referring to the Mandalorian Excision. Which I find somewhat a pity.

Regardless, carry on with your crusade for the restoration of old canon!

Random link is random.

Some facts are off it seems.

According to the latest information on Mandalorians, there was a time after the Mandalorian Wars where Mandalorian power was restored. However the Republic feared the Mandalorian military and thus destroyed it and parts of Mandalore itself (hence why Sundari is in a desert) and there are peaceful Mandalorians, who were installed there by the Republic.

Now it is not really a good story but I did like the restoration of Mandalorian power, it was very nicely covered by the Essential Guide to Warfare.

I thought you said Jedi don't control Krayt dragons? Oh well, it's been a good run.

Granted.

Yes, you forgot to read.
Those two legions are part of the only Fleet the Mandalorians have, using connections and influence I managed to command them once, otherwise they are not mine.

Also, technically speaking these are new legions that did not exist in the pay. Feel free to go back through past events and try to find a reference to them.

Problem?

I know right?

That shape!

It makes me want to bomb it from orbit.

OOC: I didn't say I left ;)

OOC: We wait for Bissy next.

*Terek would do fine now that there were three Mandalorians to aid him, however once the screams of others being slaughtered reached his visor receptors, the tired Mandalorian mentally dropped to his knees. For the sake of one man there could be a large group dead now.*

*Without further hesitation he engaged his jetpack in its jumpjet mode in order to quickly cross the sky, as fate would have it a Drexl just happened to be nearby circling on the dead Mandalorians like a vulture.*

*The beast of prey turned Ori'verda into a Onderonian beast rider, or so he convinced himself as he mounted the beast mid-flight. The Drexl did not respond kindly and tossed around at every turn, but at least it went in the general direction of the Krayt.*

*With a quick shot from his wrist blaster, Ori'verda felled the beast which dove straight down. He activated his jumpjet, draining it of its last ounce of fuel and landed directly on the Krayt. Staring into its eyes which only could see two-dimensional blurs.*

*The crowd looked on as the mouth opened, it was then that Ori'verda stared into it and saw the only weakspot of the dragon. The sinus that led to the brain. He let go of the nose of the beast and descended into its mouth, taking out his rifle and firing a salvo in effort to kill it before its jaws fully closed and the teeth crushed him.*

And of course, provisions. Where do you get your food, pay, fuel and all the other necessities fleets need?

EDIT: Actually I believe I wrote a PM to you about it. I against a fleet under these circumstances.

Rarely used does not mean they will not rust or that crew don't age.
What keeps them loyal to you?

Nothing much, you?

*When the change in terrain ceased, Ori'verda yelled at the other warriors to reform a battleline. Two lines, one aiming high for aerial targets and the other aiming low for groundbound targets.*

*The long match took a toll on Ori'verda and some of the other warriors, but they did not let their guard down.*

*The Drexl were smart and avoided getting into the Mandalorian blastermade anti-air nest, they charged for the crowd which were protected by shields. The beasts quickly noted that they could not attack the unarmed and reformulated their strategy.*

*From a distance Ori'verda noticed Solus'cabur trying to safe Terek, he broke the lines and moved to assist.*

*Between the Zakkeg being killed and letting its guts flow all over him and the pack of Vornskr using the carcass of the once mighty beast as a bridge, the explosive nature of the situation became apparent as he rose back to his feat.*

*Behind him, the Mandalorians were fighting the onslaught of Bomas charging, much of them were cut down from concentrated fire and others from the spikes, the Bomas crawled up and over their deceased species members' bodies in order to bite the Mandalorians standing behind their trench.*

*Melee battles ensued throughout the trench. This was noted by Ori'verda who drew his beskad only to be hit by the tail of the alpha Vornskr that had gone unnoticed. His arm numbed, he used his other and raised it in order to fire the wrist blaster but the beast was quick to evade and tackled the warrior.*

*On the dirt ground they rolled around for supremacy, Ori'verda came out on top and once more raised his wrist blaster but the venomous Vornskr raised its tail and hit Ori'verda on his back which also caused his jetpack to launch, propelling him into the air.*

*Whilst the canine bellow grinned in its own way at the now flying Mandalorian, Ori'verda regained control of both his jetpack and his arm and managed to land near the beast, only to find out that with a numb back he would tip over. The alpha Vornskr jumped in for the kill, but you don't need your back to swing the sword clutched in your hands and so the belly of the canine was sliced open.*

*After a while, the numbness subsided and so did the fighting for a brief moment. He rose to his feet, his comrades around him. Ori'verda raised his arm and so did the others shortly after him, they celebrated in unison and the crowd cheered.*

*At the unexpected turn of events, the Gauntlet sprang alive with more Mandalorians and more beasts to slaughter. Even traps, spikes and pillars rose and collapsed everywhere.*

*With Bomas charging on one side, crushing the few brave Mandalorians to stand their ground near several broken collumns, their stampede obviously halted when they sighted the massive Zakkeg in the centre whom roared at the gathering of Bomas and Mandalorians. To this end the Bomas changed direction and continued their dash in a circle around the edges of the Gauntlet.*

*The Mandalorians were tightly pressed between the circling and sometimes gnawing of the Bomas, the several Vornskr that preyed upon lone warriors and the fearsome Zakkeg which was unmoved by any of the traps and spikes.*

"Mandalorians rally! Take the high ground, climb the columns. The rest of you, do what I do."

*Quickly several clambered up and started to snipe at the Zakkeg which enraged it into charging, tipping several columns over on its way and loosening large spikes. The Vornskr who had been previously deployed were now also crushed beneath the feet of the Zakkeg or fell pray to Mandalorian snipers.*

*Meanwhile the small group that followed Ori'verda planted several makeshift charges along several pillars and took the long spikes. Upon detonation the pillars fell in place in a circular pattern, spikes were erected in front and the Mandalorians took position in their new makeshift trench.*

*The Zakkeg lined itself up to crush this fortification, it charged and most Mandalorians turned to fire at the beast. Praying the spikes, columns and laser fire would destroy it.*

*The young warrior Terek Skirata enters from the eastern side of the Gauntlet, the cheering of the crowd engulfs him and reaches his ears through his helmet.*

*On the western side a gate slides open and a group of six Vornskr rush out, they are smaller then the fully grown Vornskr and lack the same red eyes and fur but are still potent in sufficient numbers.*

*They divide themselves into three groups, two each. Two charge from the front, two from the left and two from the right. They are quick but still a long way from Terek.*

I object to the notion.
Let's have a vote shall we?

All against specialization which so far works fine and all those for specialization.

*With three Malraas taken care of he turned his attention to his final opponent, it sprinted towards Ori’verda in order to build momentum and crash into him. However all the Mandalorian did as the cat took to the air was sidestep and launch his whipcord around its neck, chocking it to death.*

*He raised his blade in victory and the crowd cheered at the spectacle he delivered, the actual Mandalorians who were present in order to watch his fighting techniques in this makeshift training noted the true reason for the prolonged battle, Ori’verda was playing the crown by showing off his equipment and skill instead of providing himself with a challenge or dealing with the feeble beasts easily.*

OOC: I kinda took over because I want to make an epic thingy and skip to the good battles, if you mind I can delete stuff.

*Quickly he punched the beast in the face and regained situation awareness of his surroundings, unlike the Cannocks the Malraas were a bit more co-ordinated and had surrounded him, ready to pounce on him if he turned his back. Which they did, except this was what he anticipated and so the beast was flipped over and shot and point blank by Ori’verda’s wrist blaster, given his beskad would be useless if used to stab.*

*The remaining Malraas circled quickly, making feint attacks. For pitiless beasts these Malraas seemed well trained and intelligent, however Ori’verda did not pity their oncoming fate. The felines timed their strike, one from the front and two from the back. Ori’verda sidestepped and watched the beasts tumble over each other, however in doing so he was caught off guard by the two other Malraas who started to gnaw at his feet. With a quickly slice he finished one and the other he hurled away, it was bruised but not beaten as it landed and clambered back up a few meters away.*

*The three near Malraas awaited their fourth member’s return, this gave Ori’verda ample time to test out the secondary feature of the MCW-101 which was a close range scattershot. The Malraas were instantly felled beneath a hailstorm of laser pellets their hide could not resist.*

Or we can let the past remain in the past.

*Ori'verda engaged his jetpack in order to gain ground over the beasts, knowing he could not fight and fly at the same time as he had not trained himself to perform such feats.*

*He landed across the arena and took out his MCW-101, it folded out and took shape around his arm. He took a knee and placed his hand underneath the barrel, a foregrip landed on his fingers and he grasped it, his scope adjusted to the distant enemies.*

*They were distant, but fast and numerous. Gaining ground quickly. Ori'verda breathed slowly and pulled the trigger, one shot for the head of each Cannock. Half of them were felled before they got close.*

*The remaining Cannock showed some sign of intelligence as they tried not to devour each other and actually spread out a bit instead of simply rushing the warrior, whom took out his beskad. With Tremor in hand, Ori'verda simply awaited his adversary which jumped in a blind frenzy, all of them jumped nearly synchronized and with a quick slash from the beskar sword many of them were cut horizontally and died.*

*However, the momentum their carcasses built up was sustained and the combined mass of four Cannock bodies toppled the Mandalorian. The Malraas were still about, Ori'verda remembered this so he quickly pushed off the beasts and raised himself as fast as he could but as soon as he did a Malraas landed on his chest, the light feline did not have enough mass to cause Ori’verda to fall this time.*

Glad you like my description, I like the modified one too.
Very thrilled to see you also like the name Snowbird.

Do I get toast for my prize? Mandalorian honor demands toast!

In order to replace the MAAT as air support and still have a dedicated atmospheric unit instead of retooled starfighters. Research and Development of the Federation military has developed the ASF-24 Snowbird airspeeder.

Its primary armament is a set of heavy laser cannons and a limited payload of missiles for general anti-ground or anti-air purposes, the Snowbird is a very fast strike fighter and bomber and able to reach high speeds quickly, so as to cover ground quickly and support the army.

Its hull however is fit only to protect it from small arms to compensate.
