Star Wars: A New Uprising [OOC] -CONCLUDED-

[Vogega]

Was I approved?

[The Valyria Empire]

Apologizes everyone, I had planned to go through apps during my break last night however I did not get one and by the time I got home (1:40 AM EST) I was too tired to read. I have the day off so I will be going through apps with Altegonnia today.

[Arana]

Actually, would it be possible to be Dooku's successor as Count of Serenno?

I just need an answer to this so I can start

[Helvetea]

Order 66 happened in 19 BBY. We're three years past that, according to OP. BTW, Can Covesemo start off the RP with Vader?

If you mean her fleet has joined his in whatever he's doing, then sure.

I imagine it'd be uncomfortable forhim, with three CIS frigates within her group.

[Utceforp]

Name: Master Nabhak Lenyu
Age: 42
Gender: Male
Allegiance paid to: The Jedi Remnants
Rank: Jedi Master, member of the Council of First Knowledge (formerly), member of the Jedi Council (currently)
Appearance: A Morseerian, slightly taller and bulkier than average for his species, with grayish skin and five fingers on each of his four hands. He generally wears ankle-length long brown robes, with slight modification for an armoured breathing apparatus that supplies him with methane gas.
Personality: Master Nabhak is a scholar of the Force, intensely interested in ancient Jedi teachings and new forms of meditation, which is what made him seek out a position on the Council of First Knowledge. Jedi stoicism and Morseerian secrecy meet in him, and as a result he is a laconic, emotionless, seemingly-boring figure. Despite this he is known for his ability to make the right remark at exactly the right time, and as a result has not-insignificant informal influence amongst the Jedi through a group of followers of his philosophy.

His philosophy teaches that Jedi should always remind themselves that "there is no enemy but the Dark Side". Based on this philosophy, Master Nabhak believes that the Jedi should distance themselves from the Republic and become a more inwards-looking and politically-neutral organization, even arguing that if a coup removed the Sith from power within the Empire, that the Jedi should be willing to work with the Empire to maintain peace and fight the Sith. He is something of a pacifist, but is willing to defend himself if necessary.

Force Sensitive: Yes
Skills/Powers: Uses a variant of the Jar'Kai lightsaber style that takes advantage of his two free hands to use the Force. His near-constant studies and meditations before the end of the Republic allowed him to gain a great degree of precise control over Force manipulation.
Weaponry: Two blue lightsabers, the Force
Ship: A blue Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor
Biography: Nabhak was born to a pair of wandering Morseerian criminals working for the Hutts as smugglers transporting goods between the Inner Core and the Outer Rim. When he was two, his parents were captured by the Coruscant Security Force trying to bring illegal goods into the undercity. A medical checkup performed by the Republic revealed his force sensitivity, and since he was essentially an orphan, Nabhak was given to the Jedi. Nabhak's entire life from then on was the Jedi, as he chose to distance himself from his imprisoned parents and the world they came from. Nabhak developed into a pacifist even beyond other Jedi, mostly using his lightsabers for intimidation rather than fighting. When the Clone War began in earnest, he tried to find any way possible to avoid it. Within a year of the war's beginning, he finished training his Padawan and was granted the rank of Jedi Master by the High Council. Nabhak immediately applied for a seat on the Council of First Knowledge, a position he had dreamed of for quite a while but now coveted mostly for its ability to allow him to avoid the war. After some petitioning he was accepted, after the death of a previous member, of course. For the rest of the Clone War he remained at the temple, teaching the younglings who had not yet been chosen as Padawans and maintaining the ancient records. When the Jedi Purge began, he gathered as many of of his students as he could and escaped while Anakin attacked the Temple. He later rendezvoused with Obi-Wan and Yoda, bringing the younglings he had saved into their care. With the Jedi in exile and all-but eliminated, Nabhak was given a position on Yoda's new Jedi Council, as most of the original Council were killed by clones. Today, Nabhak still sits on the Council, arguing for non-interventionism and political neutrality. The exception to this is his vehement opposition of the Empire, due to the Sith's control of it.

Notes: N/a (I thought I might need to RP the Jedi Council, but its seems OP will be doing that.)

Finished my app.

I'll be sure to transfer my applicationfrom the failed RP soon.

I don't see why the OP wouldn't allow it. Just know that means you will be rping as Adan Dooku as he was the successor of Dooku

I don't see why I couldn't change that if I made a convincing enough explanation, i.e. Dooku choosing a successor by himself instead of allowing his nephew to come back from exile.

Obviously that would mean the new count wouldn't be all too popular on Serenno though.

Adam Dooku is non canon thus does not exist in this timeline. Arana may make a custom character to fill his place.

Speaking of non-canon.. are Cathar canon?

[The Valyria Empire]

Non-canon ships I am fine with, as are races as long as they aren't ridiculous.

I would prefer to use canon ranks, Superweapons and canon force powers (No thought bombs). However I'm fairly flexible and can allow some things.

Reposting this again.

[Kulonia]

OK, so you're fine with Cathar. Was gonna make a Voss but the planet wasnt on the galaxy map.

Judging by how Adan Dooku was treated, I'd guess anything from Legends is as canon as people want it to be, as long as it doesn't contradict post-TFA canon. (e.g. Rogue One supercedes Dark Forces, though that specific scenario doesn't matter to us given we're in an alternate universe decades before the Death Star plans were stolen.) If that's not already how we're going to approach Legends continuity, could I request that this be the way we approach Legends continuity?

I would prefer not to. Like I said above, species, ships and planets are fine legend wise. Canon planets thought must remain how they are in canon however.

There are some things in Legends I like, and a lot I don't like. I do not want to lock all of legends out, cause that would be no fun. Thus, just make an app, if there's something myself or my co-op doesn't like it'll need to change or be talked over. If nothing is brought up, it's fine.

Also, I would like to know what's the deal about cloning Grievous. All I would need is his brain, some internal organs, and a bit of time and luck.

The brain would be the toughest. I would hope that there would either be salvageable parts (from Grievous himself) or a few spare parts from many of Grievous's lairs.

If there is a final stamp of "aw hell naw" on Grievous 2.0, then I have a backup plan.

This can not be stressed enough that cloning is not a readily available technology in the Star Wars universe. And truly without the rescources of the galactic empire or the knowledge of the Kaminoians, you would not be able to clone a general grevious that contained his memories, skills or personality. All you would make is a Kaleesh who simply is a physical clone of grevious

Another option would be to capture equipment in a Battle of Kamino 2.0 (Unlikely and costly) and/or convince a prominent Kaminoian scientist(s) to join the Separatists. If not a raid on Kamino could lead to capture and taking hostage of a scientist. As far as funds go, can't San Hill or other corporate leaders provide the funding while the Genosisians take up the bulk of military production?

[Nova Socrum]

Can be a sith Jar Jar Binks?

Speaking of Geonosians, an incredibly risky way to do that would be with the Geonosian brain worms. Find some way for an outbreak, however brief, to occur on Kamino, and bam, the Separatists can just take the information right out of somebody's head.

Of course it also might backfire horribly, and it would be incredibly obvious who was behind it.

Plus, if the plan for cloning doesn't work, the Empire might have to nuke their own cloning factories to contain the outbreak

Someone should totally RP as Commander Cody (he didn't die... I don't think?) or some other canon CT of a high rank who got reassigned to Vader's personal elite shocktroopers and guards/unit that he uses.

It'd be interesting because they'd have known him when he was Anakin but would be forced to suppress the urge of calling him 'General Skywalker' and stuff like that. It'd also be interesting because then if Vader interacts with anyone who apps Ahsoka Tano or Captain Rex would be forced to also fight clones they considered friends at one time.

I never liked the whole 'biochips made us do it' thing for Clones... but if that's still canon in this RP, we'll say that they were deactivated in CTs that Vader selected for personal usage in his shocktroops. And - despite disagreeing with the Empire and feeling betrayed by it, and feeling sort of stuck between duty to the now-Empire and his former friends - the CT in question would end up obeying Vader and doing his bidding as necessary as apart of Vader's guard and shocktroops.

I think Rex would be more Appropriate for Anakin. Cody was associated with Obi Wan.

Yeah, but in ROTS, Cody shot at Obi-Wan once Order 66 was executed.

Plus, if the biochips thing is canon, only Rex, Wolffe and Gregor removed theirs. Every other clone was eventually either decommissioned/killed after Stormtroopers became a "voluntary service" thing, or before they were, had the chips and therefor acted as Jedi-hunting meat-droids.

I'm asking for a CT who was rendered no longer a meatdroid that was added to Vader's elite shocktroops by Vader himself.

It sounds like something the Separatists would come up with especially with the recent liberation of Ge
Geonosis and the desperation of not having a Trench/Grievous-like super-Admiral to wield its Navy. The question is how it would be introduced. They'd already have to have agents on the inside.

Either way, it'd be simple to deduce what side commited the "kidnapping" no matter what method is used. So deception shouldn't be a top priority for this sort of mission.

Oh God, the nightmares.

Plus, if the plan for cloning doesn't work, the Empire might have to nuke their own cloning factories to contain the outbreak

That would be an interesting development if this sort of mission were to occur. It'd most likely lead to an expansion of human recruitment as it'd probably be far too expensive to rebuild the program in Tipoca City (I probably butchered the name.)
