Star Wars: Galactic Schisms/OOC-Sign Ups Thread

[New Neros]

What's occurring on Naboo? I think Gunray might be interested in taking Naboo again like his father failed to do. If it isn't to much, I would like to blockade that world with a fleet of warships and bring it into submission to the CIS

Crap I forgot to mention you. Yah, you're in with the Seppies. You should focus on gathering more resource rich worlds and more people to the Confederate cause.

[The Apocalyptic Surivivors]

Idea: Enlisting bounty hunters to kill King Malevolence.
Damn, that would make a good subplot.
Idea #2: Mandalorians attack Coruscant.

Huh, I like both ideas!

This challenge excites me.

For real - Mally vs Bounty Hunters.

Dark 14 could enlist a bunch of bounty hunters to kill him in order to service the empire. And then one would accidentally piss off the Mandalorians, who would follow him back to Coruscant and decide to invade, setting up a Mandalorian Hegemony (if they were to win, which isn't doubtful due to the wreck the Empire(s) is (are) in right now.

[Segmentia]

Well, the problem with trying to siege Coruscant is its planetary shields and other defenses.

Try enlisting the Nosaurians of New Plympto to the Sep cause. They were with the Seps in the clone Wars, you could persuade them to rejoin. Also, try to find worlds heavy in metals or with strategic significance (i.e. located near or in a major trade route).

You mean the largely pacifist and peaceful Mandalorians?

[The Apocalyptic Surivivors]

Well, the problem with trying to siege Coruscant is its planetary shields and other defenses.

The problem with defending against the Mandaorians is defending against the Mandalorians.

[Mirakai]

And yet the Republic did so just fine when the Mandalorians were much, MUCH, stronger then they are currently are.

I am just going to let everyone know that I am going to take a break from NS for a while. Nothing big, just a few days or so. Should not last a week. The thing is I have several things tying me down, as I am sure everyone involved with me has seen that my activity has been down to slow to nothing for the past few days.

In the meantime, I am Appointing Hangar, the Temporary OP. Not a surprise as he has essentially handled that job unofficially very well and kept things on track. Neros is his Co-OP.

As for my character Aran Vale, he is in the Unknown Regions of space and will be returning when I make my first post back. He is not gone and I am not dropping out, I just want to be clear that I will return and that the RP is in no danger of dying.

The thread has had great activity so far and for that I thank everyone here. But sometimes things get in the way. I have to house sit for a neighbor, take care of her dog which refuses to use the bathroom outside, pick up my car from a failed sales deal, work and a host of other RL issues that must be squared away before I can resume activity here.

I will not be dropping any other RPs either. I am simply taking a leave of some time to get my things together and come back.

I know, but they don't need raw might, they just need a little power and a great strategy. Plus, no shield can hold up indefinitely.

NeHds moe kookees!

[Republic of the Cristo]

Has anyone else realized that if one were to simple use a bullet based gun, then you could kill pretty much any jedi with general ease?

Same for any character in Naruto

Same if you were to use a nuke. Or a basic thermite-based bomb, for that matter. Or, on some Jedi, a flamethrower like Jango Fett's.

But Lucasfilms can't use bullets because they're messy, while blaster shots instantly cauterize any hole, sealing it off and preventing blood from escaping. No blood = you can keep your PG rating. Also, the fact that conventional guns aren't used adds to the fun. And lightsabers are so badass.

Lightsabers can also vaporize bullets you know...

Oh yes, pacifists go to war with peace-based religions for fun all the time. In fact, Mandalorians are like a bunch of Ghandi clones.

I'm just saying from a tactical stand point that it would be much smarter to use bullets... But lasers are much more fun.

I laughed. You deserve the OP title.

Bullets travel much faster then laser blasts.

*Ahem* Not lasers. You want to talk Science of Sci-Fi, we'll talk Science of Sci-Fi.

I notice that the poll is only counting 99% of voters as voters. What is this oppression?

Regardless, they would be able to still block them. It has been shown before with Trandoshan weapons, like this one, which have particle accelerated ammunition moving much faster than bullets, Jedi can still block the shots.

Just before I leave, in Star Wars, 'Slug Throwers' as they are called are not used for a reason. For to my knowledge in their universe blasters are superior and the common complaints about them being slow moving ect is just special affects limitations. Games, books and tv shows all show them as effective means to wage war.

Also, I am not so sure on this one, but I think ironically the Stormtrooper armor is actually not as effective against large caliber slug throwers. In the same way because modern body armor is not designed to protect you against a iron mace, the obsolete nature of the weapons means that things like slug throwers and arrows were effective because they were simply not designed to defend against those things in mind.

Dont underestimate those little Ewoks.

My character had a hangover that day so he wasn't able to command the battle. That is the only reason why we lost. Anyone whom questions this will be shot with a slug thrower

No, they don't, and they ARE NOT LASER BLASTS! A laser 'blast' would move at the speed of light, dwarfing the speed of any bullet. You wouldn't even see the 'blast', because by the time the light from it reached your eyes, it would have made contact with the target and dissipated. Laser weaponry wouldn't utilize blasts, but rather connecting-and-disconnecting 'bolts'. Blaster shots in Star Wars are actually funnels of energy moving relatively slow (less than 50 mph, depending on where you take your stats from), that are made of varying energies. 'Stinger' shots would be similar to taser bolts on very low power, blasts from 'stun guns' would be similar to high-powered tasers or electrical discharges that set off hell in your nervous system, and guns used to kill would fire pre-lased gasses that plasmify as soon as they leave the muzzle of the gun. The different colors could be explained by different materials or energies used by different types of blasters, and different types of blasters preferred by different factions (which explains why during a battle, one side's shots tend to be one color while the other's are another).

I am well aware of how lasers should travel, however in star wars, the laser blasts in incredibly slow as to what they should be.
