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

[Democratic East-Asia]

Name: Sinclair Attaca
Age: 48
Gender: Male
Allegiance paid to: The Empire.
Rank (if it applies): Grand Moff of the 13th Oversector
Appearance (Picture appreciated):

Personality:

In public, Attaca puts on the image of a determined and morally just leader: one that uses his power to better the lives of those below him. Even so, Attaca is known to be quite straightforward and at times violent, and will take drastic measures to ensure what he and his superiors want is done. Ruthless at times but forgiving at others, friends describe him as a passionate and friendly, yet focussed and efficient. Attaca sees himself as the equals of those below him, and is often willing to talk to anyone willing to approach him when he has time.

Privately, Attaca is reserved and quiet, and enjoys delving into numerous areas dealing with philosophy and literature. Attaca is especially interested art and craftsmanship, and is known to own a large collection of antiques / wares from around his sector. Those close to him know that Attaca suffers from mood swings at certain times, something he tries to keep hidden from the public.

Force Sensitive: Nope.
Skills/Powers:

Efficient Manager: Attaca has been known for his policies of conservation and efficiency, and only implements policies he deems the least wasteful. Resources are important indeed, especially in the case of the a three sided galactic war. While the Empire is definitely the most powerful of the factions, nothing should be carelessly used up. However, Attaca's focus on efficiency has indirrectly led him to levy higher taxes among his oversector's population (there's the need to buy more warships these days), which has proven somewhat unpopular.

Tolerant / Leader: Unlike many Imperials, Attaca is actually quite tolerant of non-human culture so long as it doesn't disturb the peace he tries to enforce. Attaca also frequently goes out of his way to meet with civilian leaders and personnel and listen to their concerns. This somewhat counterbalances his high taxation of his oversector's inhabitants and has proven relatively effective at decreasing rebel tendencies on more populated planets (backwaters be primitive). Attaca is also on good relations with his officer corp and soldiers.

Weaponry (If any): Has a blaster pistol and an antique slug-throwing pistol (which was given to him by his adopted father).
Ship (If any): The Imperial-1 Vengeance of Antares.
Biography (At least a well written Paragraph please):

Attaca's childhood is shrouded in mystery, although it is known that he was an orphan. Abandoned by his parents at the age of two and raised in an orphanage on a mid-rim mining world, Sinclair was incredibly lucky to be adopted by a traveling politician of the republic at the age of 6. From there, he was given his current name, and moved to a planet in the colonial parts of the republic. Growing up in a democratic and free society cemented his beliefs in the Republic, and a terrorist attack which killed his father only further emboldened him to serve the galaxy as a whole. Attaca was considered by his peers as an often overly optimistic youth. They told him he would be disappointed with how the galaxy was run, but Attaca believed nothing.

During his teen years, Attaca eventually transferred to Anaxes, where he would study and train to become a pilot in the Republic Navy. It was during this time that he became increasingly politically involved, and began to notice the common trends of the republic from afar. It was a dysfunctional and often corrupt mess, and lessened Attaca's beliefs in the Republic, but Attaca would continue his career anyways. The still lingering thought of bringing real change was something Attaca looked into, and wanted to prove could happen. After graduating with high marks, Attaca joined the Republic Navy, and gradual rose through the ranks fighting pirates and various wannabe warlords.

Then the Clone Wars Began.

Attaca was among those officers that participated in the First Battle of Geonosis, and had coordinated numerous gunship strikes in taking down a number of Trade Federation Core ships. With the Republic lacking many trained and experienced officers, Attaca quickly managed to climb through the ranks as an officer who was both competent and liked by his troops. Attaca went from a corporal to an Admiral in a number of years, and climbed to a Fleet Admiral following his performance during the battle of Coruscant. On another note, Attaca was well known for his organization of Republic ship building and resources distribution during the war, which would later contribute to his placement as Grand Moff of the 13th oversector.

The war hasn't technically ended, but the Empire rose out of the ashes of the Republic anyways. Attaca took his chances and sided with Palpatine's new regime, hoping that the Empire would prove to be the nation the people of the Galaxy needed in these trying times. While initially aiming to become a Grand Admiral, backhand dealings by Attaca's political and military opponents prevented him from taking the position, and he was eventually relegated into managing the 13th oversector. Attaca himself was rather unimpressed with what he saw as a blatant act of self preservation among members of the new ruling establishment, but nevertheless took his duties to heart. After all, Grand Moff was far above Fleet Admiral in the ranking system, and gave him significant leverage over a large percentage of the galactic population. With the current war going on, Attaca hopes to prove himself by launching an offensive on nearby Geonosis: a highly important CIS manufacturing center. With this, he hopes to remove any remaining suspicion of him being disloyal to the Empire (most of it is just rumors, but Attaca's relatively lenient attitude has many thinking he's up to something).

Notes:
-As per typical sector, a fleet of 2,400 warships are assigned per sector under Attaca's command, although only 24 are supposed to be Imperial-1 Class star destroyers, with most of the remaining being various small auxiliaries and supply vessels. However, seeing how Victory-1s are still somewhat new, many fleets have older Venator and Victory class ships still in service.

-There are a total of 20 such fleets under Attaca. Honestly though, he doesn't have the ability to micromanage that and / or move everything into a single location. Logistics simply makes that impossible. Most ships at the moment are patrolling / dealing with issues in their sectors.

Oversector Map. Sector map for the mid-rim.

(These maps don't correspond perfectly, so the number I gave is an estimate. This takes into account that Hutt Space is rather uncontrolled, so sectors there didn't exactly count as "full" sectors when I calculated the number of ships in the oversector)

[The Valyria Empire]

I was under the impression that TWC told us that Poggle was somewhat submissive to the queen. At least regarding planetary affairs.

I'm certain he was. But the Queen might nonetheless prefer to rule more directly than through an underling.

Just an idea, of course. If Poggle is alive, it makes much more sense that he'd still be in control.

The Queen caste is not recognized by the galaxy as legitimate leaders. So Poggle is used to run the foreign affairs and government for Geonosis, so that it can have galactic legitimacy.

[Democratic East-Asia]

Now, for the real question: in the event that the Empire finishes the death star and Vader takes charge of it, does he use it to threaten Naboo and therefor Padme's entire Nubian family as well as her entire homeworld in order to force her to choose between her Rebellion or her people and her entire living Nubian family, thus forcing her surrender and the Rebellion to decay in support after losing their most influential member... or does he use it to try and blow up the Separatist capital planet/station?

Either way removes an opposition to the Empire.

When that day comes, my guy will hopefully be onboard as well. Propaganda!

That would make sense.

Trust me, my guy would rather not have to deal with Vader, but times dictate he'll have to sooner or later.

Already a banned player? I'm interested. Writing out an Application. This should be interesting. Yes, very interesting indeed.

Name: Anson Kahn
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Allegiance paid to: Alliance to Restore the Republic
Rank: Lieutenant Commander
Appearance (Picture appreciated): The Commander
Personality: ENTJ (Extrovertive Intuitive Thinking Judging)
Force Sensitive: Minorly
Skills/Powers: Commander of the RSV Dawn Wanderer, he's a veteran of the Clone Wars, turned to the aid of the Alliance to Restore the Republic by acting as a ship commander entitled with raiding Imperial and Confederate Supply Lines. Host to a team of dedicated raiders, he's earned his moniker of the 'White Knight' through his refusal to execute captured Imperials, instead often leaving them able to return to service if they so choose much to the criticism of most of his allies.
Weaponry: Trained in the use of most Republic/Imperial general weaponry, he carries on his person a single DC-17 that's been extensively modified to make use of a specialized 'stun' setting for his preferred method of warfare.
Ship: Arquitens class Light Cruiser; RSV Dawn Wanderer - formerly ISS Reviled One
Biography: Born to high ranking Republic naval officials, Anson Kahn made his name through proving his superior piloting skills compared to his contemporaries at the time. Going into freight transport and running VIP-friends of his parents around Coruscant and eventually the neighboring systems, he eventually cobbled enough to break off from the company he'd initially been hired by and went into school at the Anaxes Navy War College on a special commission procured by his parents. Graduating within the top five of his class, Anson was given the commission of Lieutenant and sent to begin flying small Freighters on the behalf of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Making many rushed and important deliveries and pickups, Anson became a Captain by the age of 27, but soon luck would have it that he would be needed on an all new front altogether.

Just two years in, the beginning of the Outer Rim pirate raids on the behalf of local Republic systems began, and it was decided that the Captain would take part in the COIN operations there as part of a joint-task force organized between the Jedi Temple, the Senate, and the local star systems. Pushing hard for the title of Lieutenant Commander, he would soon find his place as the Captain of his own Arquitens two more years later at the onset of the Clone Wars. Running a boisterous crew of clones, he managed to take part in multiple engagements against CIS trade convoys within the war before being brought into the fold of the Blue Dagger Fleet under Jedi Admiral Kizo Vorathane. When Order 66 was carried out and the Admiral was executed, the Captain held his cool and maintained his demeanor long enough to hire on a crew of mercenaries to destroy the clones aboard his vessel and allow him to escape with the ship. Mercenaries in tow, the Captain raided newly-named Imperial shipping lines for almost a year until he was tracked down and cornered by a group of highly motivated individuals claiming to be with a rebel movement within the Empire, a so-called 'alliance to restore the republic'.

Brought on as privateer, but later recognized as a member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, the Captain was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander with the promise of more to come given the alliance's investment in his abilities worked well. Fielding since then one of the most capable and dangerous of raiding vessels across the known galaxy, he has become a face of infamy among the Empire and CIS whom both have their reasons for wanting him alive, or dead.

RP Example: Well, since you're new here I guess I can humor you with this.

Notes: Captain of a ship, he has two pilots under his command and an Alliance raiding force of eight soldiers. The extra two berths that would have been used for soldiers have been replaced with a detention center and an enhanced armory.

Pilots include the Corellian-Human Lieutenant Jace Thrayen and Twi'Lek Mirgan Vesoon.

Soldiers include the Coruscanti-Human Sergeant Tori Carvis, Wookie Corporal Druful, Munn Corporal Srel-Ki Vanthul, Human Specialist Rel Fursil, Human Private Kandal Luihar, Twi'Lek Private Jin Miresii, Rodan Private Dreejeego, and Bothan Private Cus-Oroltol. Internal saboteur and smuggling specialist who aids in identifying ships of value is the smuggler Lin Chi Yu, origins unknown.

When are apps going to be accepted?

@Kassaran, Cuprum was perma-banned by Val a couple RPs back

[The Valyria Empire]

Name:Poggle the Second

Everything is fine here, Accepted

Name: Anakin Skywalker (formerly; renounced); Darth Vader (currently)

Vader himself oversaw the rushed production of the Executor. his master was surprised it was possible to submerse oneself so deeply into the Dark Side. Quite literally crushing every bone in the informant's body. Vader now sees that there is no longer any hope for his wife, for his family. There is nothing left for him but the Dark Side; but the strength and power it will bring him. Vader has even told his master that he intends to break Padme until she begs for death, but will instead keep her alive for his own amusement.

You forgot to remove the Executor from this. Just change it to he saw the finishing of the Pride of the Core due to it being built during the ending year of the Clone Wars.

Altegonnia, and I have discussed and we find issue with this Vader. Without the death of Padme he would not even get close to this level of sadism and hatred. The tipping point that sent him to the Dark side in the movies was Padme's death, and because he personally caused it. The guilt and hatred was what finished his conversion. Without this, he would still have more light side in him, he would probably hope to get his family back. Now I bet he would still hate the Jedi, especially Obi-Wan (cause he stole his girl). I think Vader would think that Padme has been indoctrinated by the Jedi, and mislead to thinking that the Empire is evil.

If Vader was able to get Padme back he would never be sadist towards her. Maybe he would send her away some where remote where she is "safe" and the Emperor would not be surprised with any level of Dark Side submersion because Palpatine is the living embodiment of the Dark Side. He has retained all the Dark Side knowledge that Plagueis held and added to it. He's the only living being left with all the Dark Side knowledge, he still has much to teach Anakin.

If these changes are made, you are instantly Accepted. If you wish to argue these points, please feel free to TG me.

Character Application:

Name: Jerelia Malkon

Looks good here, Accepted. Those Imperial 0.5 we'll be referred to as Venator II Class Star Destroyers (See Voids app for more detail)

Name: Karisa Covesemo

Due to being a turn coat the Empire would not let someone use one of it's new toys (which are not in mass production yet). You may use a Venator II in it's place.
Fix that, and you're Accepted

Name: Granger Varmon

Denied, there are many issues that are too many to list here for such a minor character. TG me if you wish to discuss this more.

Name: Venku Skirata

Denied, I stated in my rules that Mandalorian Grey Jedi are not allowed. And Grey Jedi alone would be under strict review. Also Battle Meditation is not allowed, as only canon force powers are being used. Why would he be afraid of someone using his DNA? They still have clones, why would they want him? You cannot clone the Force, in canon.

Name: Master Nabhak Lenyu

Perfect, Accepted

Name: Lomann Jorvin

Just change his master to a canon master or a made up one. Kota is not canon. If that is done, Accepted

Name: The Seventh Brother (real name unknown)

Change the Crossguard saber to something else. The Crossguard was an ancient style of saber that was not used during the Republic era. If this is changed, you're Accepted

Name: Barbun Desilijic Jargensa the Hutt

Denied, for now. Some of those ships aren't even from Star Wars (They are too far fetched for a Hutt to have) plus if the Republic caught him using his ship illegally (why would the Republic allow a small time criminal, let alone a hutt join the navy?) he would of been court marshaled and sent to prison, probably for life, or at least several human life times considering he's a Hutt.

Name: Kath Frey

Frey is Accepted but Ventress is dead by this point in the RP.

Name: Jhassa

Accepted, just change that ship link.

Name: Hurien Olaskir

Accepted

Name: Han Solo

Have to deny this, on the same level as Ventress. You cannot rewrite what is already canon, thus Han Solo can't be aged up nor or Lando. Also no RP sample, and I do not know as well as someone like VOID or Altegonnia.

Name: CC-5576-39 "Gregor"

His age is like late 30s. Anyway, Accepted

Name: Sinclair Attaca

Ok this is a lot of power for one player. There are several things you need to know as this level of rank.
1st- You lack much control of these fleets. The moffs controlling them hold political power through their fleets. every order you give and every action you take will become a political battlefield as your subordinates attempt to either undermine or question your authority or each other in attempts to increase their own power over each other and compete for the Emperor's favor which could lead to them taking your position.

2nd- Vader is watching. You post has a high mortality rate as any failure can get you force choked if not rectified quickly. Your underlings by this account are likely to attempt to blame any and all trouble or issues on you even if unreasonable to do so

3rd- Your surrounded by Rebel and CIS alike. Expect a Gothic sector scenario (if you know what that is) where you'll have more enemies in your space than you'll have the resources to respond to. You may respond to a rebel fleet then at the same time get attacked by a CIS fleet with your flank exposed (considering the much more industrialized and fortified Geonosis is near your sector pumping out fleets and droids.)

4th-The Imperial war machine is in a process called transition. With the new Imperial-I Star Destroyer existing, the factories and shipyards have to re-tool for it's mass production. As such they take much time to produce and we estimate there currently only 30 or less in service. Likely only trusted to Grand Moffs or favored military individuals. Your sector is going to have within it 2 of them. The Majority of your non support ships of Capital class will currently Venator II's which is the cross between Venators and Imperial Star Destroyers

Once these issued are corrected, you will be Approved -Altegonnia

For those wondering why this and Vader are huge responses, it's because they are huge players thus criticism will be much bigger.

Name: Anson Kahn

Everything looks fine, but after the Empire forms the Alliance would not want to have raids on the CIS since they are both fighting the Empire. They are currently neutral but could some day become allies if things go well, or enemies if things fall apart. With Dooku gone, and Sidious no longer having his fingers in the CIS pie, the CIS are actually fighting to become independent, thus the Rebels could agree to recognize this if they help restore the Republic. Accepted

[Altegonnia]

That's an hour and a half of my life gone

[Brusia]

Name: CC-5576-39 "Gregor"

His age is like late 30s. Anyway, Accepted

Does 37 sound alright for the purposes of this RP? (I looked on the wiki, but I couldn't find an exact DoB).

Got it!

Grand Admirals and Grand Generals, at least in the old canon, were higher than even Grand Moffs.

You could play Grand Admiral Thrawn, who Imperial Navy wise would basically only be second to Vader and third to the Emperor in his control over the Navy, but equal to any other Grand Admirals (pretty sure there was a max of like, 5 Grand Admirals at any given time). He's also the equal to Grand Generals in the Imperial Army. There's also, I think, maybe 5 Grand Generals at any given time.

Basically, the chain of the highest command goes, from highest to lowest: Emperor - Vader - The Ten Grand Admirals/Generals - The Grand Moff Council - The Moff Council.

There were thirteen Grand Admirals, including Thrawn, but their power was fairly limited. They could steal whatever they wanted to complete their missions, but their missions were usually quite specific, with the Empire of the Hand being the glaring exception to that rule.

Lots of people want to be near Vader initially.

Which is weird, because I'd assume everyone in the galaxy would prefer to be as far from Darth Vader as possible.

Well, serving alongside Vader was generally the fast-track to promotion, for reasons of a space-magic-chocking nature as much as anything else - so all of the ambitious officers did it. Which is why the loss of the Executor at Endor was such a blow to the Empire - it had their best and brightest on board at the time.

[Arana]

Is anybody intending on playing Poggle?

[Sulania]

Name: Jhassa

Accepted, just change that ship link.

Thanks.

And oh. Ohhh... Oh no. Yeah, I'll fix that. This is what I get for explaining Dragon Age to partner while making app.
