RP:Battle Of Draco III

''They dare stand against us! Charge lateral lines and burn the Human filth that lie before us! Burn them out of this existence, let their destruction be a testament to the Gods that we are worthy! ''

Battle Of Draco III
Sometime in the year 2545, the UNSC Colony of Draco was attacked by the Covenant Empire. Draco III had a very large population centered around the cities of New Albany, and Karnak in the region of Lombard. During the battle, many UNSC Naval assets were stationed in system. SPARTAN II's did take part in the ground engagement, as did UNSC Army and UNSC Marines and ODST's. For this RP, Draco will be a temperate climate, 1G planet. It's environment similar to that of the modern-day United States' New York Region. Also in the RP, the battle is set in the month of August. The major and most crucial City of New Albany is an urban sprawl of residential housing and infrastructural, but in appearance, resembles New Alexandria, from the Planet Reach. In the actual canon of the Halo series, after Draco III fell to Covenant hands, SPARTAN II's still on the ground witnessed the Covenant gather the remaining civilian, men, women, and children, and kill them, feeding their remains to the Kig-Yar and Brutes.

RP
This is a canon friendly RP, so stick close to Halo lore. The colony of Draco III fell, so in this RP it WILL fall to the Covenant. HOWEVER, at what cost did the Covenant pay for their victory, that's for the writers (you) to decide. SPARTAN II's are present on the ground, but please do not field too many of them. Various UNSC Regiments are stationed on the surface of Draco, from Armor Battalions to Artillery Corps. Once registrations have closed for this event, all UNSC players will converse on what their tactics will be, and who will be leading what. This is an RP that is meant to focus on the concept of Naval warfare, and I would like actual players to take up the part of Fleet Admirals and Captains, and for them to influence other player characters and ships. There will be ground engagements as well, but I won't really write many sections in which my personal ground elements take part. players are meant to assist other players during the battle if they are able to. I have not Specified a specific starting date as of yet.

Rules and Suggestions
REGISTRATION IS OPEN JUST POST TO MY TALK PAGE OR THIS TALK PAGE BEFORE ADDING UNITS

1. Do NOT kill another writers character without their knowing.

2. Work Together, if someone has wounded, and you can help them, HELP THEM!

3. You can field almost any size element of Units, from squads, to regiments, to lone, deep, rich single characters.

4. Be realistic and stay close to canon.

8. Have fun.

9. Help others with grammar and writing.

10. Help me better this daunting article.

Ground Briefing (UNSC)
All UNSC ground assets will need to focus on four major objectives. You can also create your own special objectives (Field Hospitals, Recon, Ect.), so use your imagination.

1. Defending X Number of S-MAC ODF ground generators supplying power to stations in orbit.

2. The evacuation of Civilians is a CRUCIAL story point and is high priority. You will need to set up evacuation points and inform players with Naval assets that you have established areas to evacuate Civilians.

3. Defending the MAC and Mass-Drivers that keep the skies around the city-scapes clear.

4. Defending the Orbital Elevators in each city, there are two in New Albany and one in Karnak.

Ground Briefing (Covenant)
"To Be Announced" by Covenant writers, I am not very good at writing Covenant items.
