Posted: Wed Jul 04, 2018 6:25 pmOya Manda!
Posted: Wed Jul 04, 2018 6:28 pmhey Jedi, how notorious is Norcor in Coalition and Alliance space? Is he the only one in a few centuries that swayed a planet's loyalty through a coup? How much slander did the Alliance members hear in order to despise him?

Posted: Wed Jul 04, 2018 6:38 pmPosted: Wed Jul 04, 2018 6:39 pmApparently the position of Consul was questioned-after in TGs with Jedi, so it may be in a sorta-reserved-but-not limbo state, I honestly don't know.
Posted: Wed Jul 04, 2018 6:41 pmI have not heard back from them about the app so I would presume its up for grabs.
Posted: Wed Jul 04, 2018 6:43 pmPosted: Wed Jul 04, 2018 6:45 pmPosted: Wed Jul 04, 2018 6:46 pmAn interesting idea is a Consul who wants to rein in the Military and the Commissariates. Or one who is devoted to democratizing the Coalition. That would really make things choppy for Krast her her ilk

Also maybe maybe not a coup. Krast might extend. She might not.

Oh my oh my. That'd make for a helluva thing. Fascism versus Democracy, which is better in this great time of conflict...yeah, that'd make things choppy.

Well a direct attack on the Consul and Tribunal by any single Coalition Commander would probably unite every other General or Admiral against them. So it may be harder than you think to overthrow a puppet who had proven useful thus far to a vast number of ambitious men.

A direct attack? You think Krast is so blunt about her methods? I'm insulted. She's a good bit more subtle than that.

Commanding an SSD does not scream subtle to me.
Posted: Wed Jul 04, 2018 6:54 pmBut possessing a good deal of influence with the Commissariat of Domestic Investigation does. She might just install a puppet there, soon.
Posted: Wed Jul 04, 2018 7:08 pmThe Tribunal appoints the Commissars, and I can guarantee the Commissars would be very unhappy with you getting involved in their affairs.
I look forward to the conflict.

Name: Serilda Raineheart
Age: 55
Gender: Female
Allegiance paid to: The Coalition
Rank: Consul of the Coalition
Appearance (Picture preferred, if not, detailed description accepted):
Personality: Serilda, in her personal life, is nothing but a cold and cynical person. Through her years serving the Coalition, and rising to the rank she has today, she has learnt to be extremely pessimistic about any person, or people. The position of the Consul only attracts the most psychotic people who believe they were destined to achieve that role as the 'de facto' leader of the Coalition. Therefore, if assessed, she would be easily diagnosed as a psychopath. Serilda has a lack of empathy, an extreme grandiose feeling of self-worth, cynical nature and lack of personal feeling and understanding. Part of that is because of the environment of the Coalition and her family dilemma, in which she was thrusted into the politics of power since a very young age. What is especially interesting about her personality, is her paranoia, that has arisen from her position. She routinely analyses the people she works with, and regularly suspects them of conspiring against her, as would anyone in her place.
Force Sensitive: N
Skills/Powers: Authority over the National Security Forces of the Coalition. The National Security Forces of the Coalition, or the NSFC for short, is a group of well-armed elite forces dedicated to the protection and servitude of the Consul of the Coalition. Consul Raineheart established this branch of the military for the 'protection of Coalition assests', as quoted by the Consul herself. Her real reasoning, however, was much more cunning. The NSFC is to re-enforce her position as the Consul to any possible internal rivals, as all members of the NSFC are zealot followers of Consul Raineheart, and nobody else. However, their main issue lie in their lacking numbers and lack of heavy-duty firepower. In the case of a coup, they may attempt to hold-out in favour of the Consul, but they cannot match the man-power of the formal military.
Weaponry: On her person, all the time, Serilda has a ELG-3A Blaster and Lethal Pills.
Ship (If you have one):
Official ship of the Consul. It's 70 meters long and 50 meters wide, with a a height of 15 meters. It has a state-of-the-art luxury bar and lounge, fitted with its' own amenities and basic resources (including life support). Most importantly, the starship is armed with four laser cannons and the capabilities to transport 20 individuals, both military or otherwise.
Biography: Born on the year 145 ABY, a year after the assassination of the Empress of the Fel Empire and a year before the intervention of the Galactic Alliance and the Jedi Council. Serilda's father was the leader of the largest private prison holdings in the entire ex-Fel Empire. With the collapse of order in the Empire, and therefore the lack of justice, Serilda's father: Canton, armed several factions. Her youth was littered with stories of death and devastation, as her father would re-tell the stories of the day at the dinner table. He himself was not fighting, but he had direct contacts to those on the ground, whom he was sponsoring through Credit's and man-power. Fortunately enough, the Raineheart Family allied with the correct factions that were victorious in the civil war. This era not only expanded the Family's power in the new Coalition, but it drived Serilda's disdain for the Galactic Alliance and for the Jedi Council. She believed it was an interference into the sovereign borders of the ex-Empire as the war began to settle and she matured. Serilda was only 18 when the war finally ceased, but she was disgusted by the terms decided upon by their leader's. The de-militarisation, in her eyes, was a sign of defeat and servitude to the Galactic Alliance and the Jedi Council. Using her inherited privilege, Serilda oversaw the arming and training of thousands of convicts under her command, it violated the treaty already established.
It was not only her, but she was inspired by the other resistance to the intergalactic terms, as she described as a 'Jedi conspiracy'. This spurred her expansion of the prisoner army, that was shaping up to have stronger capabilities compared to many other prisoner regiments enforced by the Coalition. One of the greatest turning points in her life was on a night in 168 ABY, when she received a video-message from her father, calling for the dismantling of her prisoner forces. He was oblivious to the army she had created on her own, hence, when Canton discovered he immediately demanded for his disbandment. Canton cited many threats it faced to the business, especially with the Galactic Alliance. The Raineheart Family had extensive trade with both sides, but mostly with the Coalition. The fear of losing capital was not a factor for Serilda, who was driven by ideological motives. That night she ordered a bounty hunter to eliminate her rivals to the position of head of house. Almost simultaneously, her Mother, Father and Brother were assassinated. Serilda rose to power and seized all of the family assests. This was welcomed by the elites of the Coalition, who had suspicions that the private prison corporation was trading with the Alliance. Serilda cut all ties with the Alliance and continued to pursue who militaristic agenda.
Her military prowess soon began to set an example for many in the bureaucracy, and Serilda made strides in climbing the ladder. Her position in the political life was already substantial high, due to the inheritance of the prison industry. She single-handedly controlled a super-majority of the prisoners fighting in the 'Great Patriotic War' (as she coined it) and used this authority to slowly make her ascendancy to the Consulate. In an effort to assassinate possible threats, she'd have her forces 'discover' the dead body of a General on the battlefield, accompanied with a realistic story. In the midst of war, the bureaucracy of the Coalition was looking for a new potential candidate for the Consul. There was a growing war-weariness and dissatisfaction with the current leadership that could not be ignored. Serilda Rainheart, a young-ish female (39 years old), a devout Coalitionist and military leader was the leading option. She was selected as the new Consul in 184 ABY. It was her personal endeavour to institute anti-Jedi propaganda and attempt to establish a cult of personality around her image, as she was the first female leader of the Coalition. Although she is aware that it's really a big internal game, she is also attempting to create foundations with her personality with the people. She, of course, is depicted as a far more friendlier, yet stern, mother figure for the entire Coalition to unite behind. That brings us to today.
