Star Wars: Rise of the Empire (OOC/Signups)[OPEN]

[Abbeyverne]

WIP because I still need to add my main character, but here's the Silent Fist.

Name: The Silent Fist
Type: Resistance Cell
Objective: Nullify the Tyranny of the Empire and Protect the Common Folk of the Galaxy
Headquarters: A small mining operation on Crait, intending the resources to be laundered and used to fund the cell.
Resources:
- Mining base on Crait
- Bars and taverns in surrounding systems, co-opted to be recruitment and meeting points for the cause
- Various landspeeders, on Crait and other planets
- 2 YT1300f light freighters, hopefully the first of many
- 4 Z95 Headhunters
History:
The Silent Fist had but a brief history, when this chapter of their story began - it seems that it was a desperate rush by common folk to marshal up some sort of resistance, when the war took its unexpected turn. News came late to the Outer Rim, after all - the resources that the Silent Fist currently had access to were all the various personal effects of the core members and their supporters, nothing more. Even their headquarters, a small mining operation on Crait, had originally been an illicit operation manned by the Krasta family, one of their staunch supporters.
Oh, you want to know exactly how the Silent Fist was formed? Well, that's a bit of a mystery, just like their founder...
No one knows exactly where Coryn Crow came from - perhaps that wasn't even his real name. But when he showed up to their doors, bringing news of the Empire's imminent wrath and their possible salvation at his hands, they only had two options - join him, or suffer. There was a natural choice.

You're gonna get rejected if you don't add more detail... I would know.

Oh, I'm aware, I've known Jedi for a LONG time. It's WIP.

Vader has no time for politics.

Vader has no time for politics.

Hey lets not have vader come back to coruscant

Please...

Edit: Also you missed the perfect chance to have vader say "Bring my shuttle"

[Rhinocera]

I think General Kraken’s discovery of Sidious’ identity is a bit over the top, especially considering that the only individuals that actually know the truth were Skywalker, Dooku, and a handful of Jedi. I might be wrong, but I feel that it’s a little much. I am relatively sure that Palpatine, as Emperor, was never fingered as a Sith Lord by the public.

[Rhinocera]

And I’ll have another post up tonight, responding to Grand Admiral Tiberius at least.

Danke! I shouldn’t need much more of Palp’s time after this.

[The V O I D]

Vader has no time for politics.

Your Vader is on point, by the way!

I wonder, would Lord Vader feel any nostalgia were he to run into General Kraken and the other Separatists that are trying to coalesce?

Take up as much of it as you can, I don't want to have to drive the Imperial storyline by myself so you and Vader need to stir up some festivities or I'll just have some people executed to shake things up.

[Endem]

OP is my edited app accepted?

I too am asking this question

[G-Tech Corporation]

Hmm. I hadn’t really planned to go to the Aurora sector. Deploying the Rampant against the forces there will be like crushing a snail with a MBT. I’ll have to justify Kuat shifting commands.

Wasn’t saying to go there Specifically, just saying keep an eye open and make sure the loyal stooge commander doesn’t fudge it up. Maybe send a liaison to watch over the sector.

[Plzen]

I do also think the Emperor is perhaps overreacting a tad. I mean, surely on a galactic scale a successful ambush on an Imperial military convoy is not that unusual an occurrence.

Two within hours of each other, both requiring a concentrated show of force that any known rebellious entity lacks, with a possible sighting of three capital ships that should, for all intensive purposes, be under Imperial control? I’m sure in SW history that planets and sectors have been pacified for less.

The APP
Name: Liujas "Lucas" Marno

Marno's blue double-bladed hinged lightsaber.

Age: 24
Gender: Male
Allegiance paid to: Galactic Republic (Formerly), Jedi Order (Formerly)
Rank: Knight
Personality: Loyal, sensible, often impulsive, easy to anger, slow to trust, generally kind.
Force Sensitive: Well, yes. What else did you expect?
Skills/Powers:
- Forms I, III, IV and V (Personnal Variant/Combination)
- Powers: Force Pull, Force Push, Force Crush, Force Dash, Force Mindtrick, Force Lightning, Force Choke (Last 2, capable only when drawing on dark side)
Ship: Highly-Modified Black and Green V-19 Torrent fitted with a Class 1.0 Hyperdrive and 2 additional laser canons.
Biography: Liujas Marno was found in 40 BBY by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn at the age of 2 on Felucia, in a burning house where none of his family had survived. He was taken in and grew up as a youngling, training from a very young age and showing a strong capability in the usage of the force that very few of his similarly-aged jedi companions actually possessed. He spent most of his early youth in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, until he was taken under the wing of Jedi Master Hughsamm Claryel at the age of 8. It was with him that Marno made his very first lightsaber, a simple, singularly-bladed weapon. Claryel's tutelage lasted a grand total of...6 months, as his master was killed when faced with an overwhelming force of criminals, which resulted in Liujas's first notable darkside display as he instinctively choked, crushed and zapped the entirety of the enemy force until they fled. He recieved several other masters during the course of the next few years, including his Savior Master Jinn for a very brief period in 33 BBY, but all of them ended up dying in confrontations that they should have won, including Jinn's on Naboo, earning Marno the derogatory nickname of "The Cursed" from his peers.

At the age of 12 he finally came to follow his definitive Master, a certain Jeredon Harbspur. The 2 formed an impressive, father and son-like duo almost immediately and went on numerous missions that assessed the growing strenght of the Trade Federation, however none's data ever reached the higher spheres for reasons that were at the time unknown, while now certainly part of Palpatine's machinations. While repelling waves upon waves of battle droids, his lightsaber suffered a critical malfunction, obligating the padawan to transform the weapon into a makeshift grenade as it exploded. He returned to Coruscant safely with his master but was now in dire need of a new blade. Liujas returned to Illum once again, this time amassing 2 crystals. He began tampering to create a completely new design, one that he considered more apt for his own style. The double-bladed weapon was split in halves by a hinge, with the grips sufficiently slimmed down to allow the saber to be held comfortably with the blades in a single direction, allowing some pretty singular techniques regarding the usage of the sword. Lucas wielded the lightsaber as he perfected his training to create a style for himself, taking elements from Form I, III, IV and V and incorporating them in a mesh that ressembled Form VI but possessed stronger offensive capabilities. He used it in all his following missions with exemplary effectiveness, earning him the rank of Jedi Knight at age 19.

Lijuas turned 20 and, as a birthday gift, the galaxy brought war onto him and the living. As the Jedi Order transformed into a military force, he was appointed as Jedi Commander of the 49th Clone Legion, with his master taking the rank of General. They were immediately deployed to the desert world of Tatooine, fending off an invasion of the newly-founded Separatist Alliance with relative ease thanks to the pair's previous experience with battledroids. Less than a few months later the enemy returned once more and, despite Marno's exemplary prowesses, his entire legion was decimated in the counter-offensive campaign. This left mental scars on the Knight and sent him in such a state of anger that, overnight, he boarded a retreating Lucrehulk-class battleship and singlehandedly obliterated every single soul aboard, sending the vessel in a crash course to Tatoo 1, the system's main star, as he escaped again with his V-19 fighter. Liujas and Jeredon then assigned themselves to work with the Republic Army, composed of non-clones to the opposite of the Grand Army, transforming a specific group into the 22nd Offense Corps, undertaking several high risk missions in distant worlds. They fought in the Second Battle of Geonosis, then participated in the assault on Vizsla Keep 09 and the skirmish on Kardoa. During the latter, his master died, overwhelmed by Separatist forces. In his sacrifice, Jeredon gave enough time for Marno to escape with the 22nd Corps. The Knight held himself responsible for his mentor's death, leading to even more scars on the young mind. By the time 19 BBY came around he was no longer an adventure-seeking young man but a seasoned and grieving warrior that had lost faith in the "Republic's righteous crusade."

The force-using Commander was promoted to Jedi General and given a very unusual assignement from the Republic Special Weapons Group. Lucas was returned to Geonosis once again under orders of protecting the DS-1 Orbital Battle Station against any insurection from its Geonosian workforce. He was openly critical of its very nature as a planet destroyer, having no trouble in bringing up his disgust towards the weapon to the RSWG's leaders, including Orson Callan Krennic and Wilhuff Tarkin. The two grew very concerned of his agitation and reported the information to the Supreme Chancellor. Due to this, Liujas holds the regrettable record of being the first Jedi targeted by the Purge and Order 66, before even the Masters of the Jedi Council. He passed out from the force energy emanating from Anakin Skywalker's fall to Darkness and was found uncouncious by his troopers. He awoke just in time for the arrival of a Clone detachement that requested for him to be handed over, which his men refused.

In the following firefight, the 22nd Corps fought to the last man against their single-bodied counterparts, raining hell through the station with their final breath, giving enough time to Marno to not only escape the battlestation but the star system itself. He was on his way to return to the Jedi Temple when he recieved a message from Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Slowly understanding that was going on, he decided against heading for Coruscant and instead arrived on Tatooine. From there on, he has been doing small jobs as a bodyguard or bounty hunter, living off his abillity to trick people with the Force instead of paying for most things. The war and the Purge has injured him for sure, leading him to return to the Temple to seek some form of hope. Or maybe was it a true Jedi's death, one by combat.

[Quebec-Libre]

I'm probably gonna send my character to Coruscant if he gets approved. And yes, you read that right, my character was at the being-constructed Death Star when Order 66 came up. Probably the second worst place to be right after the Jedi Temple.

[Jedi Council]

Sorry for not posting yesterday

I'll look through the new apps tonight and hopefully have a post up as well for Ti

[Cheye]

Puertollano, Nat's envoy has arrived to meet with Gehena, I think there might be a queue forming though!

I realised as I was writing that I was probably getting a bit too into Sianni's POV for a simple side-character. If in the interest of fairness, OP wants me to put a character app up for him here then I can do one tomorrow? I don't really plan to use him as a POV character at all except for his interactions with Gehena though, which will probably just consist of pulling out a holoprojector and letting Nat do the actual talking. Guess I'm just not sure where to draw the line between my character and the characters who serve as part of my faction in terms of POV.

All feedback welcome.

That's okay. And yes, there is quite a long waiting list hahaha

One of the reasons Vader turned to the Dark Side was to be able to destroy the CIS. Any CIS remnants are a testament to why that was a failure, so he cannot allow any Separatists to survive.

[Ralnis]

Hey Puertollano, two things;

1) I do think that Gehena would know that not all of the CIS' troops were the Droid Army. There are seen that organics did fight alongside the Droid Army(Geonosians are the best example). So I would think she would at least think that the gangster is some sort of special or auxiliary forces.

2) The hologram of the Duros Scav is using would be hard to track and would shut down with the ship exploding due to any attempt.

I know it sounds stupid and I will change it if this is godmodding. I'm sorry if it is but I thought I just wanted to point that out.

[Jedi Council]

Alright, big long post up, mainly a flashback to Ti's duel with Vader during Operation: Knightfall, and a little update on her present status and attempt to flee the temple. I honestly had more to write about her leaving, but, its almost 3 AM here on the West Coast, so I need sleep. I hope everyone enjoyed the duel; I find writing combat to be one of the most difficult parts of this process.

I know GCCS and I discussed having her interact with Vader again once he reaches Coruscant so I may have meatier post once he gets into orbit.

Now, onto the apps.

Abbyeverne- Jeremiah Dawntreader and the Twilight Consortium are now accepted.
Quebec Libre - Luijas Marno is accepted, though just be careful with how you use those darkside powers, they definitely would not be something readily in his control.

Endem and Strala I seem to have lost track of your apps. If you could quote them here again so I can take a look at them that would be appreciated.

I thought she could see the commando droids?

really enjoying the overall post quality in this RP, I've been enjoying reading everyone's stuff and keeping up with all the machinations going on in the galaxy.

No, even they were disguised in full body armor. Vinnie makes note to tell the tactical droid to get a platoon of disguised commando droids and be in his hologram Duros persona because of the fear that would come of being ousted as a sentient CIS droid.

Fair warning, my storyline is shit-tier by default. Don't read
