Star Wars: The Jedi Lords (OOC and sign up thread)

[The first Galactic Republic]

These information gathering abilities aren't completely OP are they, because how can you know the actions of the Lords? Remember they are separate from both the High Council and the Senate.

I can't speak for the other factions, but Koja has made a lot of money in the espionage market. He has a solid assortment of spies, hackers and informants. But no he does not know everything happening in the galaxy, nor does he know what all the Jedi Lords are up to all the time. But he would notice mass fleet movements and then investigate that.

I just think you picked the wrong planet if you want to poke little holes in the Jedi.

Anyone steps foot on Ilum, there is an investigation.

Anyone gets hurt, there is a full Jedi response.

If any military forces come, the Republic will rally to its defense.

I don't want to poke little holes in Jedi. Koja likes things just fine as they are, but he sees a business venture that offers great profits. Not his fault the Jedi lack business sense.

That's like saying Muslims don't have business sense because they don't build strip mines over their mosques.

I was joking.

But it's fair. The religiousness of the Jedi cannot be separated from their order.

Plus now that I think about it I don't think Ilum is actually part of the Republic. I think the Jedi own it directly.

Before SWTOR I would agree, but I believe in SWTOR the Republic is involved with it. And if what you say is true, the Republic has no obligation to defend it...

[The first Galactic Republic]

Wait is Jeran on the move or is he near Claudius?

[The Imperium Empires]

Morning guys what happened while I was gone?

The Republic military was on Ilum, that doesn't mean it was an actual memberworld. The US is in Iraq for example but it's not an official territory. Plus that was 2,000 years ago.

That may be true on paper, but realistically the Republic won't screw the Jedi over.

[The Imperium Empires]

Is Koja still on bastion since Arkius is on his way

[Ism]

Koja is not on Bastion. He's waiting on a few things sorry.

Also the Republic would not be screwing over the Jedi, it would simply be avoiding risking unifying the Sith factions against it by starting a war with 3 of them. It makes more sense for the Republic to let the Jedi Lords use their forces, which are overall sufficient, to dislodge us from Ilum.

[The Imperium Empires]

Oh well anyone want to do something with the syndicate.

Okay I just took a trip to Wookieepedia.

The Republic was kept in the dark about Ilum's existence and did not know about it until the Sith Empire attacked it. None the less they eventually gathered a force to defend it from Sith aggression. After the Galactic War the Jedi once again covered up its existence.

Essentially the exact same thing would happen again.

I didn't say the Republic wouldn't let the Jedi Lords intervene, but the Jedi Lords and the Republic military are often hand in hand. It's the High Council the Lords don't like.

[Imperial Xenon]

Wait is Jeran on the move or is he near Claudius?

He was on the move now he's following Claudius

[The Imperium Empires]

Anyone?

[Parcia]

Also, its up to you how she notices Ziam, if she does at all. Force is a powerful thing.

[Parcia]

Anyone?

In due time Torvarish.

[The Imperium Empires]

Where is Ziam right now? I want to send some black hand guys to to try at capture Ziam.

Except that Republic was actively at war with the Sith. Now there appears to be something closer to a cold war. Meaning the Republic would likely support the Jedi Lords but not directly intervene. Factor into this the decentralized nature of the Republic's military (due to the Jedi Lords' Feudalistic system) and presumably war weariness and it seems even less likely the Republic would directly move to Ilum at this time.

[The first Galactic Republic]

I hope so. I personally think they look good as well. Just look at Atria's roleplays, we're used to minimalist OPs with surprising quality IC.



I gotchu fam, sounds good to me.

Zant can offer great Sith knowledge with his Holocron collection.

Don't want to give away too much here, but he's after physical things. Sith knowledge is good and all, but his motto is "War from the machine" for a reason. I'd tell you to read his app in the Essential Guide thread but it's not done yet. Give me maybe 10 minutes.

Even if you like minimalist ICs I think you will really like my plans for it.

JK what I wanted to do is apparently impossible.

Out of curiosity what did you want to do?

He's in the slave camp, deep cover, while the others make a distraction.

Not right now, maybe when he makes a run for the block aid.

Ok anyone else want to interact with me.

You must have misunderstood the setting a little sorry. There is no Cold War. There is direct warfare. Remember that the first post of the IC details how a Republic force was ambushed and destroyed. The Republic is straight up at war with the Sith.

No the military is not that fragmented. It is quite good at working with the Jedi Lords. Some officers are only loyal to the Lords but most work for Coruscant but are friendly to the Lords and are experienced at working with them. Even then they don't need to work with them if the Republic sends them directly.

[New Neros]

How many people are going to be there?

Not that many, assuming Zant agrees which I think Neros said he would, the operation would largely be automated. But when the Jedi start gathering their fleet, combined with the information gathering abilities of those 4 factions, it seems unlikely they would be unable to move to defend Ilum, or at least force the Jedi Lords to fight somewhere else.

Yes, I'll be there. Military-wise, ZMI isn't going to devote a ton of material to our defense on Illum - Just to our freighters (which are armed merchants to begin with) as we leave with our cut. Business-wise, it would be stupid to fight over Illum - with Jedi, Sith, or Republic. A more profitable opportunity is hit and run mining, taking as much material as you can in a short amount of time and getting out before any military forces arrive.
