*Insert Noble's laugh*

Aww...did I ruin your party, sithling? Thats too bad. Perhaps you can play with me....  

[stellarmagic]

I'm not taking down the whole shield... I'm taking down a part of the shield. Then we're going in. Oh, and I've got a mathematician crafting a message for the Givin population.  

[Sol Walker]

Stellar, explain to me what you just did.  

[stellarmagic]

I fired three massdriver rounds on a ballistic trajectory that will gravitationally boost their velocity as they pass the sun, then a moon of Yag'Dhul before landing on the planet, where the first two rounds will impact and the third... well lets just say there will be one less Shield Generator demanding power on Yag'Dhul. They'll be coming in on a near polar trajectory so they should be clear of both the orbital shipyards and the Republic Fleet.  

[Sol Walker]

To clarify my prior statement: In our solar system, it takes light five hours to reach from the sun to the edge of the system.
You're shooting a warhead, theoretically moving slower than light, from the edge of the system towards a planet near the system's center. The Ordinance will arrive in two hours.

Something smells like a load of Bull....

[stellarmagic]

One planet system = a much smaller solar system (Less planets = Less total mass in system, smaller ort cloud, significantly smaller total diameter etc.) I'd guess I'm firing from a total distance between shot and target of about thirty light minutes. The rounds are traveling at the lower end of relativistic speed about 1/8th the speed of light.

Is that bad?

The problem is, Stellar, that we don't know if it is a one planet system.
I will let it slide for now, but I'm watching you.
Don't let my devilish good looks fool you. I do know enough science and math to make me question things what don't sound right.

It is when it interferes with her job. I'll have to touch on it during the weekly performance review.  

[Darkened Angel]

Getting naked is part of her job. She's a seductress, after all.

And I thought the Earth was a lightyear from the sun. Where'd you get that it takes 5 hours for light to go from the sun to the end of the solar system?  

[stellarmagic]

Earth is six light minutes from the sun.  

[Sol Walker]

I took the distance from the Sun to Pluto, divided by the speed of light, and then divided by 60 twice.

Like I said, its only bad when it interferes with your job.  

[stellarmagic]

Hmm... what to do what to do. Using the hole those rounds will punch in the shield will require immediate exploitation, and I can't exactly do that if every ship I launch is immediately locked down by a tractor beam.

You've certainly created a rather arrogant jedi for me to deal with... arrogant jedi with a fleet matching wits with an arrogant merc with a fleet. Not a good situation. How to defuse the situation without becoming mere pawns to the republic command.
