| Hey,
Well, since I figure Anaxes is a massive world who's sole purpose does largely seem to be being the base for much of the Imperial Navy, I'm going to go ahead and not in fact go and request a proper fleet or defences for the system. I presume the majority of these ships would be Mandator or Procurator class as befits a core world (and especially a world which is about the most militaristic) and it isn't really practical for the purposes of the RP to request a ridiculous Armada which I would never use.
Also, bearing in mind the fact Anaxes is about the least promising target in the Empire for anyone and its defences are likely heavily tied with those of the Empire, I will wait for an actual attack to come before we decide what defences would be appropriate within the constraints of the RP and also to stay loyal to the canon.
Thus, instead of requesting the whole Anaxes fleet I would like to request an element of this fleet.
This would be named the Axum Interest Protection Squadron which would serve to protect the interests of Anaxes and its citizens whenever needed, and also act as an extension of Anaxes might. The squadron would be crewed by some of the most adept and able officers and crewmen, all Anaxsi and having been trained to that worlds exacting standards, resulting in a crew that is (on an average) several percentage points faster at performing shipboard tasks than any not in the elite cadres of other Core Navies and the Imperial Navy, and even these would often find themselves outperformed.
The Axum Interest Protection Squadron
1x Gladiator-class Star Destroyer - Off the rack, used for anti-piracy patrols, often deployed autonomously or as part of joint-operations or training. Newest ship in the Squadron, but often nursemaided and kept away from combat for this reason.
1x Victory I-class Star Destroyer - Squadron Flagship, although fairly old in comparison to most of the Squadron now its reputation for being a bulwark in the clone wars has earned its nickname of "Ironside".
Modified as follows:
- Quad-Turbolasers replaced with 20 double turbolasers
- Carrying HAV based compliment
- Only 400 Marines aboard at any one time, sometimes less.
1x Nebulon B-class Escort Frigate - Often paired with an Assassin-class and patrolling parts of trade routes key to Anaxes, it bears many battle scars upon its hull.
2x Assassin-class Corvettes, always paired with a larger capital ship and used as escorts, if the MedStar-class is deployed, the minimum level of protection accompanying it will be an Assassin-class.
1x MedStar-class Frigate - This vessel would rarely actually accompany the squadron to a combat zone, simply being used for delivering humanitarian aid, mercy missions, PR etc.
Names
Victory-class "Eagle"
Gladiator-class "Raven"
Nebulon B-class "Hawk"
Assassin-class "Kestrel"
Assassin-class "Shrike"
MedStar-class "Kiwi"

| I think I'd be comfortable voting to APPROVE of.. 1 Gladiator-class Star Destroyer or 1 Victory-class Star Destroyer (with or w/out the modifications mentioned)
1 Nebulon-B Frigate
2 Assassin-class Corvettes Both Star Destroyers, however, are a bit much in my estimation. At least for the time being. Also, there's no need to request the MedStar-class Frigate if it's not intended to be used in combat any more than simply defending itself.

| I'll go for the Victory-class. Any chance of subbing the 10 quad turbolasers for 20 double turbolasers? Since the power requirement would be similar?

| First, let me thank you for providing links to each vessel in your request. Although I am versed on all of these particular ships it makes the life of a manager easier when he or she needs to brush up on something. I like the request and see no problem with in or your modification in the above post. Vote: APPROVE
