This is a more casual RP idea I had a while back and now Star Wars is on my mind again with the Mandalorian and Fallen Order, I figured it might be fun. It is intended to be a fixed location social/character RP for Star Wars fans and will launch if a few people confirm interest. Although set during the Clone Wars and in a location from the TV series, no knowledge of the series is required to join!
The premise is simple. Orondia Station - the grim looking little fuel station featured in Series 4 Episode 16 of The Clone Wars has come under new management. As the first stop coreward of Nal Hutta, it attracts a number of regular and irregular visitors making their way throughout the galaxy. Come and be one of them! Get into some trouble, or just have a drink and kick back with some sabacc. The story is what you bring with you.
All posts will be set on the fuel station, which sports landing platforms for at least 9 large freighters and plenty of smaller docking bays. The station has shops, a large cantina, and now a casino room built by the new owner along with a full suite of guest rooms and bunking quarters for anyone wishing to stay - though who wants to stay on a dark old dustbowl like Orondia, right?
Although the action will be limited to the Station, there is no reason you can’t find mischief to get up to if the idea of drinking and telling stories is too quiet for you, and I’m happy to help facilitate that with background NPC staff and visitors from all factions and none based on requests made here.
Feel free to create a character based on any of the pre-existing sentient species/droids in a galaxy far far away. All I ask is that you post your character idea here first, using the below sign-up and only post once your character has been approved to join, just to avoid any characters that are too similar to one another or are incompatible with the lore. We’re deep in Hutt space, so characters based on bounty hunter, smuggler, or wanted criminal builds will thrive, but as its a cantina - civilian types such as freighter pilots, musicians and gamblers will also make for some fun and different builds, or just be a Jedi Knight in for a drink after a battle in the Outer Rim. It really is up to you!
The RP will be set immediately before/during the events of Revenge of the Sith, so if you wish to have ties to any of the warring factions, such as being a Jedi, a Clone or a Separatist, you can do so. Dark side force users will have to be restricted given the era, but I’m open to lore-friendly suggestions. We’ll be following current canon and not breaking the lore timeline, so if your cocky assassin character swans into the bar saying he’s just taken out Count Dooku and ended the war, he’ll be treated like the no-good lying nerf-herder he is.
The other rules are simple. Firstly don’t speak or act for other players’ characters. Next, don’t do anything too overpowered (IE blowing up ships on the platforms/throwing the force around) without checking first, and if you get into a fight with another player character work out how it’ll go down here in the OOC, don’t just try and one-up each other in the IC; otherwise you’ll end up breaking rules 1 and 2 and annoying people. Keep posts longer than just a sentence if you can, I know it’s largely a social RP, and so their might be some shorter back and forth conversation posts, but try and use posts to tell a story about your characters. Descriptions, actions and thoughts are your friend and make it more fun for everyone reading. Please also do not post OOC in the IC or violate any of the usual NS rules.
Otherwise HAVE FUN!
