It depends on how big the Endor Strike Team was. IA, we have an applicant. 'Nuff room for her to join?

Welcome aboard, Mayo_Solo, we're glad for all the help we can get.

Fluke: I haven't heard from him in a while. I think he's doing a move right now. Also, there are 10 character positions that need to be filled. If anyone would like to start posting ideas, please be my guest. I'll start posting my ideas asap.

::peeks in:: Phew, I was scared you guys started already... tongue

OK, I'd like to know when are we going to start the fic - are we going to do the planning first, or we'll just decide on the rough plotline and will plan as we go? wink grin

Well, at this point we don't have any characters, so that's the first thing we need. After that we can probably start the first couple of posts.

OK, I guess everyone should define his/her ( wink ) character first, describe them and their personalities. I suggest we started with the "highest ranks" - like first we define the commanders and such, and then the "regular" guys... tongue grin I definitely don't want to have any leading guy, so I'll wait. grin

This might be a little picky, but does anyone know what the command structure of the team was? I know that Han was in overall command, and that Luke, Leia, and Chewie were the shuttle crew. But how was the strike team actually structured? Was it a platoon-sized element? A company?

That will help with ranks as well as characters. At least it will for me. Thanks.

Well, as far as I can tell the mission was structured like this:

Han Solo was in overall command of the mission with Major Bren Derlin leading the commandos themselves. To give you some perspective on rank all of my sources say that Page was a "trooper". There were 10 other commandos, but other than that I haven't seen anything about who was actually part of the commandos or what their ranks were.

Hello all, I'm not asking to be part of the creative drive of this team (not that I don't want to, but it seems like there are already plenty of people who are in), but I thought I'd chime in.
From what I know of military squads (both actual squads and from other sci-fi) a standard squad would be about 12 people--I think there were twelve on Derlin's strike force, so that works. Specialties I think would be something like: 1 commander; 1 or 2 pilots; 1 or 2 field technicians; 1 comms; 2 demolitions; 2 heavy artillery; 2 snipers; 1 medics.
Another technical observation/question: I'm pretty sure in the film all the members of the team were male humans. Are you going to be keeping with that idea, because if not I think it would be cool to throw in an alien species among the ranks; like a Shistavanen Wolfman sniper, or a Gotal medic or something.
Good luck.
