Ship Log: Frustrated Ramblings
the whole corsec operation was a disgrace, how the emperor managed to put such a bumbling clown in charge is truly laughable. How this is the same man who went through the clone wars beggars belief, a complete incapacity to employ the most basic encirclement tactics to prevent Corsec from further expansion or cripple their fleet's mobility. What a sad state of affairs for the empire, Moff Shed may be a more than capable climber and administrator, but he is woefully lacking as a tactician and strategist.

Edit: as much as comments like mine are giving you crap, I want to say thank you so much for the content over the years Captain!
There is a reason they call artillery the 'King of the Battlefield!'
I get it for a 'game' but the other saying is: 'It's War, if you are being fair, you are doing it wrong…'
Love watching the chaos, the entertainment value is priceless knowing i do the same thing. I find myself with a notepad writing down what i need to do in battle after then battle and then…. only way to save my forces from getting lost and wiped out…
Love this series so much
Thanks for the content 👍
Dark Vader needs to finish his mission at hot I think that was the name of that planet
Maybe arty shows up on the mini map and you can use friendly arty to bombard areas without sight as a special ability with a cooldown timer.
Maybe I am alone here but I am disturbed by the genuine lack of capital ships in the Imperial fleets.
Imp Rep 62 – Imperial Fleet command has made the decision to send the Northern Fleet under Mohc to join up with Pellaeon's fleet in the Corporate Sector region. There are some reports that have indicated that the Kaut Defense Fleet went with them, but we've yet to get confirmation of that on the Devastator 2. If it is true, it will leave the orbits of Commenor and Kaut quite vulnerable, at least until Kaut can begin construction on a new fleet. This is worrying, but Commodore Shed has commented that given the size and scale of the Black Sun's Lucrehulk battleship and the Corporate Sector's habit of fleeing at the first real sign of trouble, some of these actions were needed. Otherwise, the Black Sun would not only advance in the core but the Corporate Sector might flee to a point where they join the Black Sun or some other independent faction. I asked him if that was plausible, and he answered, "not necessarily, but to old men in offices on Coruscant, the risk of doing nothing is bigger." This struck me as politics, though given his history, it wouldn't surprise me that Commodore Shed is following these things.
The move ultimately only proved partially successful. Mohc and the Northern Fleet did engage the Lucrehulk over Lantilles and they did gain control over the planet's surface. Mohc reported that the Black Sun had a far larger force than expected and it took a good number of his support ships and carriers, backed by the Arc Hammer's drone fighters to wear down this massive Black Sun fleet. The ultimate Black Sun field of wreckage included one Venator, several Hutt heavy artillery ships, a squadron of frigates, a hand of light cruisers, and almost as many fighters as the Arc Hammer could produce. Mohc reports that two Imperial Class Star Destroyers were lost along with a few light escorting cruisers as were a few carriers, one frigate hero, and a host of other fighters. But the Lucrehulk did run and thus the base mission was completed and Mohc's orders, to clear a route for a Interdictor to reach Pellaeon's fleet was cleared.
From there, things become sketchy. It appears that Mohc took his entire force into the Corporate Sector and joined with Pellaeon's forces. The exact reasons are unsure… though we think it's to try and accelerate the last elements of Operation Capital Gains. Some of that makes sense, as while they then cleared the orbit over Bonadan, the Corporate Sector appears to control Etti IV, Telos, and one more planet in the region. Which means the force could be in for a major campaign in the region for the foreseeable future and a smaller force may not sustain itself while efforts are being made to secure the Corporate Sector worlds. Once done, it may make sense to build up the core Corporate Sector worlds to allow for localized production of ships to deal the Rebels and the Black Sun. But we'll have to wait on how things go from there.
To add to the present progress, Lord Vader's advance across the belt of worlds in the mid-Rim has continued and with success. We've recently completed the capture of Atzerri where Lord Vader was able to spot targets for the main heavy artillery detachment. Their reports indicate that they were shooting at both Black Sun and Rebel forces on the same world, proving that both are criminally aligned with each other. On the last world, the Black Sun was dug in in both space and on the ground. The Devastator 2 took a pounding I was afraid of the bridge being blasted open into an airlock. Thankfully, the Bulwark Class Star Dreadnought provided enough of a firepower boost that the Black Sun ultimately ran from us, losing multiple Acclimators as well. On the ground, Lord Vader found that the Black Sun were quite willing to fight hard… but against the Dark Lord and multiple units of artillery… they failed. When he returned to the ship, I could sear Lord Vader felt proud.
The main question is on what to do next. The crew of the Devastator 2 want to depart from the Byss Defense fleet and join with the Southern Fleet to clear out the region around Hoth. Commodore Shed thinks that we should continue to clean up around some of these mid-rim border worlds and push the Rebels away from some of the other worlds around Kaut and Commenor. We've also gotten two messages from Moffs in the region that the fleet is wanted to move to Commenor and essentially sit there until the Northern Fleet's mission in the Corporate Sector can be completed. This has sent Lord Vader to his meditation chamber while I compile this report. – Ensign Jaeger Meister, ISD Devastator 2.
YES! Acclamators!
Not gonna lie it's tiring trying to give advice when he not going to do it lol. Half of those planet he lost could've survived if he just build more units to protect the territory on his borders. Personal I feel like he doesn't care about defense and just want to attack.
This was a great episode, thanks!
Please. get Vader to Hoth. I thought that'd been the plan for months to see the new story stuff.
Truly a war of a galactic scale
This looks so complex to get into. Love EAW and looked at mods but feel very much out of my depth with how the mod works
I feel like planet names in Star Wars lore need to be amended slightly to fit with Shack's mispronunciation of them 😅
Best way to balance artillery is to introduce a logistics cost
Shack the rebels own koensayr they could attack skako Minor and push for the core. They are moving troops through Quellor since you have no space station
Sends in all fighters without support into enemy…. 'why do i lose fighter battle?'
take your battles nice and slow and keep track of your units
take out local resistance first
Guess now that the SSD is free from holding up the Corporate Sector, that means it can hunt down the doom dounut and we can finally have that face off 🙂
YEA ACCLAMATOR SWARM
Hey, this hero went out like a champ. 56:28🫡
I've been watching the backlog for the series and was wondering what the starwars tabletop game you are running. It sounds awesome
Analyzing the battle with the doom donut… Using a kamikaze TIE Droid (M4 I believe) to fight fighters… Even though they are filled with bombs?
Just saying… And sorry if this offended anyone…
You should try to recognize the TIE Bomb. You sent it into a dogfight, but it is basically a cruise missile. They are very strong if used right.
Try stalker 2
That final battle was HYPE! I loved this video, it had hype, total destruction from the long range artillery. It had it all
Good job finally breaking those reinforcements through Commander.
That first landbattle was 4 way.
