[Madrinpoor]

Name: Alestare Aie
Faction: Aie Syndicate
Appearance: 62 year old human, silvery hair, otherwise unassuming but likes expensive clothing.
Personality: Cold, calculating, brutal, doesn't reveal emotions.
Skills: Strategic genius. He is a master of manipulating and intimidating and knows when to press for an edge when negotiating. He is also quite good at sabacc.
Weapons: He is not a master of shooting, so he has a blaster that does most of the work for him, like aiming and balancing, and it is very expensive. He mostly uses it for intimidation though, and has two bodyguards named Jalik and Ser who follow him everywhere.
Ship: He owns a large silver SoroSuub PLY 3000 Space Yacht called Pareyela, heavily modified with expensive Wroshyr paneling, as well as a high tech security system with hidden cannons to be fired at enemies. There are also concealed passageways throughout the vessel.
Rank:He is the don of the Aie Syndicate
Bio:

Nobody knows where he was born (though it was Coruscant). Nobody knows about his family (born to a discharged Senate Guard and a bartender of a casino) or how he grew up (in the coruscant slums). They only know of the mark he's left on the galaxy. At age 15, he ran away from his home (in the Coruscant slums) and joined a smuggling vessel bringing spice from Coruscant to Onderon. He was not a good fighter, and was almost killed in a pirate attack when he was 17. Aie managed to survive the attack by turning in the smuggler captain to the pirates, which led to the pirates stealing some of the spice. The smugglers then returned to Coruscant to get more spice, enough to complete the shipment, but Aie stole some spice and escaped the ship, trading the spice for a ticket to Nar Hutta. In Nar Hutta, he quickly climbed the ranks of the Hutt syndicates, learning tricks of the trade, and became assistant to the Major Domo of a small hut lord that controlled parts of Nar Bo Sholla. He and the Major Domo clashed frequently, and he discovered a plot by the Major Domo to poison him with a Spor Crawler, by trying to jab him with the stinger in the Hutt lord's antechamber. The plot failed, and Aie pushed the Major Domo out of the antechamber and through the curtain, into the Hutt's throne room. He accused the Major Domo of attempting to kill the Hutt lord, and a fistfight ensued. The Spor escaped, and almost stung the Hutt, but Aie shot it with a blaster he took from a guard — then shot the major domo in the face, killing him. A riot ensued, and in the riot the Hutt ended up being stabbed with a vibropike. The riot ended when Aie and his loyalists killed the Domo's loyalists, and Aie stole the Hutt's money, spices, expensive possessions and slaves and loaded them into the Hutt's space yacht, making sure the evidence was planted that the Major Domo cause the riot and killed the Hutt, and Aie buried him in a bog so as to seem like he stole the Hutt's things too. Aie began selling the spice for more spice, as with the slaves, right as Palpatine declared himself leader of the Galactic Republic and the slave price bottomed. Aie secured partnerships with some corrupt imperial warlords in the outer rim, providing them with spices, bribes, and slaves, and eventually built his empire larger than any hutt competitors in his area (away from Hutt Space). Throughout the Imperial period he enjoyed prosperity and loose laws, with enough corrupt officials for him to continue his businesses without worry. The Galactic Civil War never really affected him much, because both sides needed spice and slaves and weapons. In fact, the war profiteering helped him greatly and after the war he found it was one of his main sources of income. He also was faced with harsher slavery and spice laws, and smuggling quickly became more expensive. So he begun to transfer from a pan-Galactic organization, dealing with trades in the space between different planets, to having branches in unstable planets where he could extort and smuggle all he wanted. Now, the Aie syndicate is one of the largest non-Hutt syndicates and employs a plethora of Bounty Hunters, pirates, smugglers, mercenaries, and the like. Aie's cruel methods of shifting consequences to others outside his syndicate and his manipulative strategies have paid off in creating a massive criminal organization.

Thoughts on Past Conflicts: Aie was alive before the clone wars, and when it broke out he was around 37. Working for the Hutts at that time, Aie payed little mind to the war, as the Hutts stayed out of it for the most part. In fact, the chaos that the Clone Wars brought would have allowed the Hutts to benefit, if they had kidnapped and sold refugees as slaves or something like that, but his Hutt lord refused as he believed it was too dangerous. When the Empire took power, and he left the Hutts, he saw that the Empire left a wake of destruction and chaos that could be easily exploited. He never took a side in the war as both sides benefited him at first. He does not like the New Republic, as its enforcement of anti-smuggling over caring for his citizens hurted him. But he took the opportunity to provide a safety net for the citizens of different planets, and even planetary governments, from outside invaders.

Smuggling Capability: He is not an extremely good smuggler, being decent at flying and shooting a blaster but not very good, but he has a strategic mind that can lead to him easily exploiting other smugglers and non smugglers for his advantage. He is a mafia don essentially, not a runner.

Sorry, it'll have to be imgBB.com. I know, it's very annoying.

[Abbeyverne]

Here's what I've got:



I didn't include your frigates because I wanted to make sure I got fleet positions and major ships right first.

Hmmm yeah that really does look clean. I made a quick and dirty version in a default editor of what I'd imagined as being force position immediately after my post that I'll also post here quickly

Awesome! I'mma change the vector of TF-22 since that trajectory would have had them exit hyperspace right beside the TC.

Do I need to fill out a faction app for my character's crime syndicate?

Awesome! can you complete the faction App for the Aie Syndicate? Your character looks awesome! Also, some questions.

1. How will the Syndicate interact with the main storyline (NR, IR conflict, Fondor, etc.)

2. So he is more of a clever businessman then your regular smuggler?

3. What are his opinions on the current state of the galaxy, on former conflicts (he was alive for the Clone wars at that age), etc.

Do I need to fill out a faction app for my character's crime syndicate?

Yes, i'd refer you to my post above.

[Madrinpoor]

Name: Aie Syndicate
Leader: Alestare Aie
Type: Criminal Organization
Number of Members: 3,000 officially, but it employs many freelance smugglers and mercenaries
Number and Types of Ships: The actual syndicate has around 50 ships, including space yachts, escort vessels, and cargo ships. But the smugglers it employs have their own ships most of the time.
Base(s): Aie's personal yacht, the Parayela, and they are constructing a terrestrial base on Sedratis, in the ruins of a clone fortress
Ships: Many of their ships are either belonging to individuals in the organization or hired freelance smugglers
Resources: Money, mercenaries and smugglers, as well as connections to warlords throughout the galaxy.
Description: A crime syndicate founded by Alestare Aie, the Aie syndicate is one of the only non-Hutt syndicates to occupy a significant position in intergalactic affairs. Its purpose is smuggling goods throughout the galaxy, and it interacts with the storyline by providing paramilitary groups with weapons and goods, undercutting the New Republic's efforts to maintain order and safety by smuggling goods, and conflicting with the Hutts over business.
Backstory: After killing a Hutt and stealing his money, spice, and slaves, Alestare Aie began running his old pirate routes from Coruscant to the Rim. Aie began selling the spice for more spice, as with the slaves, right as Palpatine declared himself leader of the Galactic Republic and the slave price bottomed. Aie secured partnerships with some corrupt imperial warlords in the outer rim, providing them with spices, bribes, and slaves, and eventually built his empire larger than any hutt competitors in his area (away from Hutt Space). Throughout the Imperial period he enjoyed prosperity and loose laws, with enough corrupt officials for him to continue his businesses without worry. The Galactic Civil War never really affected him much, because both sides needed spice and slaves and weapons. In fact, the war profiteering helped him greatly and after the war he found it was one of his main sources of income. He also was faced with harsher slavery and spice laws, and smuggling quickly became more expensive. So he begun to transfer from a pan-Galactic organization, dealing with trades in the space between different planets, to having branches in unstable planets where he could extort and smuggle all he wanted. Now, the Aie syndicate is one of the largest non-Hutt syndicates and employs a plethora of Bounty Hunters, pirates, smugglers, mercenaries, and the like. Aie's cruel methods of shifting consequences to others outside his syndicate and his manipulative strategies have paid off in creating a massive criminal organization.

Awesome. Can you answer my question about storyline? It doesn't have to be in your app, and also how do you intend to develop the character and faction?

For the storyline, I want to basically defeat the Hutts. I want to become the largest crime syndicate in the galaxy, and I am willing to use and sacrifice anyone and anything to do that. Aie will be relentlessly pursuing his goals, and his vaulting ambition will make him forget about everything else. If he does succeed, it will be his downfall, like Macbeth. The faction will have to be able to develop around that and bend to the will of the galaxy, even when Aie is deadset on having it face one way and do one thing.

Ok, so he'll kind of be doing a side storyline? That may eventually draw the attention of the IR and NR?

Aha, it works!
Anyway, here was my shot at positioning. The fleets themselves are obviously not to scale since this is very rough

Awesome! Can you add in TF22 beside TF34?

[Lotrisia]

Awesome! Can you add in TF22 beside TF34?

Tentative positioning for now, with their current vector being to come alongside TF34 to avoid creating confusion as the two rendezvous

Well, there was a well, less than perfect NR admiral (I think Strala?), but I haven't seen him around in a while. Also, Twilight Consortium (me) is technically criminal.

Well, technically we exist in hutt space, but we don't bother them, and I don't even think they know we exist.

Is twilight consortium just a piracy organization?
