I agree with Cale on this. You're basically leaving them to die.

That's the problem with defenses; they follow murphy's law.
"If you make it so the enemy can't get in, you won't have a way out."

Cale Most likely they will establish Orbital and air superiority, forcing you to keep your shield up so they can deploy ground forces. They wil probably move inside your shield perimeter with walkers and treaded carriers, then deploy repulsortanks and Predators under the shield to swat down any airspeeders you deploy to engage their march to your base. Thats if you're facing a normal imperial commander... and lets face it, I'm not exactly normal. twisted Everyone is ignoring one simple aspect of the coming battle. The only strategic problem truly facing the Empire is the shield. Once the shield is torn down any entrenched defenses become targets of opportunity for imperial orbital bombardment.

Which makes it more like a race to the top of the mountain to blow the projectors. Sounds easy.
Or a race to the core to blow the generators.

Um, aren't you attending your own wedding? Even Borill's not THAT good, as to be in two places at once. confused

Exactly... Almost every ground battle in Star Wars is this exact same thing. The destruction of the enemy's shield to enable both aerial and orbital attack on his forces. There are but a few exceptions to this rule.
It'll be one short honeymoon. rolleyes

Yavin IV, for example. Or Anoth.

Even the battle of naboo fits the pattern... an infantry assault to eliminate a shield followed by a general assault. cool

Or if you had an insane Jedi Master and a frigate full of clones, you could pull Thrawn's stunt off of Woostri (correct me if I'm wrong.)

That's one way to do it... but there are others, equally effective.

Let's see... if time's no constraint, you could always sneak in your own forces and sabotage.
Or you could just wait for your super-weapon to be built and just blow them all up, hoping they'll still be there.

From what I've seen from stellar's work in the previous RP, he'll have a well thought out and tactically sound plan.

He probably had a list of dozens of possible attacks for randomly generated defenses that he's been musing over for the last two months.
