Star Wars: Galactic Schisms/OOC-Sign Ups Thread

[Greater Dmanian]

If making the Munn fund you was as easy as pointing a big gun at them, be it their own or yours they wouldn't have any credits left for you to extort from them and even if you were a threat it would be as simple as funding opposition to go ruin your day. Stick a high enough bounty on the CIS and your going to have a bad time, no matter how many lightsaber wielding arms you bolt onto Malevolence. It simply sets a precedent the Munns couldn't afford if some upstart faction can turn their defences against them and force them to fund the faction, atleast that is how it will look to an outside observer.

Anyway its pretty clear that there are protections against slicing from films e.g. R2 being electrocuted. I think when it comes to the security of the Galactic bank they would invest in the best money could buy.

Sure, and of course. But if there's a more reasonable way to accomplish the same plot point, a way that doesn't introduce plot holes or destroy Alderaan or rely on protagonist-centered plot abilities, it should be used preferentially to those that do.

A more reasonable way equates to what you want to happen, not what I want to happen, apparently. You have no sources for your argument, yet I do. That's all there is, homie.

What is the functional difference between a battle station turning and a battle station turning?

Your sources are, what, that slicer droids exist and protagonist characters can do protagonist things? My sources are a twenty year time gap, the fact that you never stated Dread had any slicing abilities in your app, the fact that things like orbital death moons tend to be high value in terms of security (cf worth millions of Credits), the fact that a body with an uplink is not equal to a physical connection with a super computer (cf difference between transmitter and direct access) and the fact that technology advances in the Star Wars universe (cf fighter design, turbolaser design, ion cannon charge times and accuracy, effectiveness of droids, etc.).

Even if you want to argue that slicing isn't commonly done, so nobody defends against it, that simply isn't true; looking at the Slicer entry alone we can see that slicers pop up in dozens of canon works.

Neros, I have to agree with everyone else. It's more believable that the Banking Clan would just ally with the CIS given their history.

More that elements of the Clan are likely to support the CIS- those who fought the Republic, patriots, risky investors, the like. It's perfectly conceivable that such elements might back the CIS financially, and try to pressure the Clan as a whole to do so by seizing control of the weapons platform in the manner described. Outright alliance would see non-repayment on all of the capital they have tied up in the Empire, but it makes a lot of sense for the Clan to back both parties.

[Greater Dmanian]

It would make sense for them to back both, if they stopped backing the Empire, it would certainly provoke a response.

I actually have a plot point about that I'm quite looking forward to raising with the Muuns.

[New Neros]

You know what? Fine. That works, Muuns helped us, awesome. You folks missed the main point of the post, as well, it was not a direct threat, but a symbol that the Confederates were not fuck boys like you peeps keep wanting to spout. We had enough influence to take an orbital station the size of a star destroyer (not a moon as G kept trying to imply).

Also, your sources are not direct ones like mine. Your "logic" and reasoning is not a source, as much as you'd like to believe, G. I have direct canon on my side. And yet you still want to bring in realism in a GODDAMN Star Wars roleplay.

As I noted- your sources are one protagonist's capabilities and....?

And Star Wars has internally consistent logic, simply by virtue of having a canon.

Can I into stygium crystal cloaking device?

Can I into stygium crystal cloaking device?

Probably. Just go find whatever world it was that one Grand Admiral blew up.

Can I already own one?

Also, is it possible to broadcast transmissions without revealing my location while the device is on?

[Greater Dmanian]

I imagine they'd be able to trace signals from your ship such as transmissions as they leave the field, they can also track magnetic or gravitational disturbances of large shipss e.g. The Kronos which is a modified ISD.

Right, I'll be making an Imperial post tomorrow, I hope. That will respond to everything that has happened in the past pages. Time is an illustrious mistress.

It seemed to me like you were saying that Star Wars has consistent logic, when really, the opposite is true.

Well, were is the logic inconsistent, then? It has one history, nothing overlaps, and the stream is continuous. What's not consistent about a history that's almost more complete than that of our world?

[G-Tech Corporation]

Hm?

I'm not sure I follow you- they certainly have some wonky bits, like Trioculus for instance, but most of the canon is fairly consistent apart from obvious fantasticisn. Lasers shoot things one way, the credit is worth so much, these things happened historically, hyperspace works like so, etc.

Oh. I was referring to the plot. There are most certainly inconsistencies there.

[Dixmix]

So here is a question. Which side/force user is more powerful?

Dark Side( Sith)
Gray Side( Gray Jedi)
Light Side( Jedi)

Well, for that, I will try to explain what (I think) the Force Sides are about. Because this question does not have a simple answer.

The Jedi way is one of training, patience, and control. Like a tree, the power of a force user only grows as much as it has energy to support itself. Jedi power is based off the will to protect, but no real attachments. The Jedi were largely celibate before Master Skywalker allowed marriage in the order. A Jedi's power increases through training, meditating, getting to know the force. It is a slow process that requires a great many years to master. Even an ancient creature like master Yoda hadn't fully mastered the force when the Clone Wars began. One has to has patience to learn in the Jedi way. But there is great power to unlock, and great control too. The advantage of the Jedi way is in personal control over your actions. You can choose what you want to use your power for, it doesn't choose for you. I don't know if the light has greater power, but it comes with the Living Force, which grants spiritual immortality to those knowledgeable.

The Sith way, on the other side, is based on emotion. Using your emotions, your powerful feelings, to get more out of the force. This is a very speedy process, and it doesn't take much to make visible advances in power when using your strong emotions to draw from. Vader, who already was a powerful Jedi, became visibly more powerful when he began using his anger to feed his abilities. Of course, then you have the visible powers. The Force Choke, the Force Lightning, all powerful tools for a Sith not available to proper Jedi. There is early power to be gained, and it is often the allure of this quickly-gained power that draws in many converts. Not always with bad intentions, too. Anakin Skywalker embarked on his quest for power to save the ones he loved, and so did Luke Skywalker. They did it for love. Yet, that quest for power begins to feed itself, and once you embark, once you give yourself over to your feelings and emotions, there is little you can do to stop it. The quest for power becomes self-sustained. Those who embark on the path to the Dark Side keep themselves on, even when they have gathered enough power. There is always more. This is what makes the Sith way unstable. This is why the Rule of Two is required to keep the Sith alive. Without it, countless civil wars between Siths are what follows, constant strives to power. It controls you, more than you control it. Only under enormous strain did Vader break free from that Dark Side hold to save Luke. After he tried killing him, of course.

Grey Jedi... I don't have enough info on to make a judgement.

I see, just trying to get clarification since Sashis has fallen from the Dark Side but I would believe there would be some corruption since he uses small amounts of the Dark Side to get that boost when he needs it. I wanted to make apparent in his emotions since he is depressed and tries to repress his anger but being force into battles in Nar Shaddaa is making the Dark Side come out more.

Oh obviously- I mean look at Leia stupidly showing the Empire the way to Yavin 4, R2 hacking the foremost military installation in the galaxy, etc.

Does anybody want to interact with my Sith character?

[Mirakai]

Still waiting for the rebels to react to my broadcast

[Dixmix]

Does anybody want to interact with my Sith character?

Maybe, though I don't know what the Sith would be looking for a Transdoshan force user who has fallen from the Dark Side.

He does enjoy to hunt down people who he deem to be a potential challenge.
