    Star Wars - Piracy(GCW) OOC.

    In Character


    It has been nine years since the fall of the Republic into the new Galactic Empire, and Piracy has never been harder. Even with the Empire using the majority of its fleet to finish the conversion of the last stubborn worlds rejecting Imperial Rule and finding Separatist strongholds the Emperor has devoted entire task forces to tackle the problem of Piracy. Though Pirates never really know when to stop, a small pirate base has established itself in the asteroid belt in the Muunlist system and has expanded its reach out to the two nearby systems, Bastion and Yaga Minor. Though these, prosperous times will be short lived. The Imperials have taken notice..."


    ----------------------

    Situation:

    The year is 10BBY. The Imperials have had a good nine years to set up their place within the Galaxy. Pirates have had it tough, with the Imperials Cracking down on piracy and other illegal activities. However nearer the outer rim the Imperials Control is on a stretched leash and the Imperials cannot stop every activity what is going on, especially with all the Alien Species that felt the brunt of Imperial Racism against them, and sought a way to strike against the Empire and make a substantial living from it.

    ----------------------

    Pirates:

    Pirates are currently being lead by Tyrell Lorne. They are situated within the Godspire Asteroid belt, within an old Carrick Station which had been presumed to off resided there since the time of the old Republic. It hosts most of the systems scum which does not receive a warm welcome by the Muun, however several Muun themselves use this station to either store credits they earn less than credibly, for a price, or to hire help that would other wise be impossible to find back on solid ground. After this station was found by the space cartel modifications were made to the design, several smaller freighters damaged beyond repair have become part of the hull, fused on and there has been the addition of at the very least three more turbo-lasers scavenged from scrap yards.

    Fleet:
    2xArquitens-class light cruiser
    4xConsular-class cruiser(Retrofit)
    1xCR90 corvette
    Assorted Freighters (Lightly armed or not at all)

    Players may also have their own "Private" ships though these can be no larger than the CR90 Corvette.

    Politics:
    They're pirates, the politics are nothing other than the founder and one who can bring in the most money is the leader, while this is currently Tyrell Lorne his leadership can be challenged at any point. Although currently his leadership stands unchallenged for the most part, with only a few who disobey his orders for currently Lorne has brought prosperous times to the cell.

    ----------------------

    Galactic Empire:

    The Imperials have been slowly gathering Information on the cell. Now they have assembled a task force by order of the Moff tasked specifically with the hunting down of and elimination of the group of pirates working within the three sectors.

    Fleet:

    4xCR90 corvette
    1xImmobilizer 418 cruiser
    3xGuardian-class lightcruiser

    Politics:

    There is but one ruler of the Galactic Empire, The Emperor.

    ----------------------

    Name: Jaden Silverstar
    Alias/Nickname: Captain Silverstar
    Gender: Male
    Age: 23
    Species: Force-sensitive Human
    Appearance:
    Weapons/Equipment: He carries a vibroblade and two DC-17 hand blasters.
    Special Skills: Being moderately force-sensitive, he is a great pilot. The force allowing him to augment his flying skills. He seems unable to activate his force powers in ways more than this. He is also a dab-hand with his vibroblade and pistols, being a great shot.
    Ship: The Cutlass A modified ex-spice freighter that has had its weapons systems overhauled. It has a small medbay and hangar for smaller ships. It is of the same make as the Twilight, but has been overhauled for combat use.
    Personality: He is very fond of the Robin Hood approach, stealing from those who don't need it and giving to those who do. He sometimes is in a rather morally grey area, and will not hesitate to kill if someone gets in his way.
    Brief Bio: Jaden is not aware he is force-sensitive, all he knows is that he is a damn good pilot. He was a spice runner in the days before the Empire, but after the Empire took over he decided a life of piracy suited him better and started stealing from rich Imperial officer's private shuttles and giving it to those who were starving under the Empire's control.

    Name: Alani
    Alias/Nickname:
    Gender: Female
    Age: 24
    Species: Twi'lek
    Legal Status: Property of Tyrell Lorne, killing Alani is not murder as she's not a real person, but Tyrell would have to be recompensed for the loss.

    Object of the Purge: As a force sensitive Alani will be killed immediately if discovered by either an Inquisitor or a member of the Emperor's Hand.

    Weapons & Equipment: None, though she is quite skilled with knives.

    Special Skills: Alani is a force adept. She is a witch and fortune teller. She can feel the emotions of those she concentrates upon, can sense hidden figures or starships, and often gets bad feelings when horrible things are about to happen. Occasionally she receives visions, particularly plot related visions and can call up these visions by taking a complex mixture of psychedelic drugs and entering a trance.

    Alani also has several powders and poisons at her disposal. She has been known to blow these in the face of an enemy causing them to hallucinations, horrible weaknesses and other debilitating effects.

    Ship: None

    Personality: Alani would like to be rich, affluent and free. This, of course, is utterly impossible. With the Empire's recent legalization of slavery, her current ownership of nothing, and with a master who would beat her senseless at the slightest sign of disobedience she doesn't have much hope for her own future.

    If provided with such a miraculous opportunity she would set upon it without regard to the feelings or even lives of anyone else. She'd be quite happy backstabbing just about anyone and doing anything to get somewhere, anywhere.


    Brief Biography:

    Ryloth

    Alani dwelled upon the Twi'lek homeworld of Ryloth. It is a hellish world, tidally locked with its star and almost uninhabitable. Despite that, the Twi'lekki people have thrived beneath the surface and upon the narrow band of surface capable of supporting life.

    Overpopulation has resulted in numerous conflicts between tribes. Stone knives and axes affixed to bones considering how rare wood is to these people and many tribes possessed shamans, those were attuned to the force who would guide their warriors in battle.

    Alani was one of these shamans. She used her magic to receive visions and portents. She would cast runes and bones. Speak of who should journey on a particular mission and who not, cast curses and sense the feelings of her people and their opponents. When fighting in the eternal darkness being able to sense the presence of enemies was a great boon.

    Nothing, of course, prepared them for the intervention of outsiders. The Twi'lekki upon the surface often raided those below for bodies to sell to slavers and enslaved their own people below to farm Ryll Spice. Often, particularly in the outlying regions away from the thin band of livable surface, slavers would bypass the Twi'lekki on the surface and enslave those beneath the surface directly. This was far more difficult considering such tribes lived beneath the ground.

    It was this that happened to Alani's tribe. Her tribe had been unable to meet the ridiculous needs of the humans that enslaved them and as a result was taken as a slave to compensate. In truth, everyone was certain that the increased demand was entirely for the human leader to take Alani as his own.

    The Attack on the Station

    Alani then found herself a slave to the freighter captain that had kidnapped her. Eventually, when his holds were full of spice he took her and withdrew to the surface and launched into space. For two years she served her captain who was astonished by her ability to read his customers and provide portents of the future.

    In time, thanks to the successes she made possible, he began to put together a small fleet and challenge other pirates, smugglers and drug runners for their territories. Despite her misgivings the fool, drunk on his own success, decided to take on "The Station". She successfully guided the pirate fleet through the asteroid field simply by feeling her way through it with her eyes closed.

    What he had not anticipate was a newly captained Lorne. Attacking a space station wasn't like taking a freighter. With a freighter one simply stormed the ship with every hand. Taking a small city was a decidedly different venture. Captain Lorne was decidedly more skilled and while Alani was capable of providing warning when things turned ugly in the corridors her input wasn't able to make up for her captain's lack of a real plan. After several hours of ambushes and traps in what was decidedly in favour of Captain Lorne the attackers were wiped out, Lorne had cemented his position as leader in most spectacular fashion and Alani's ownership had changed hands.

    Since then she has served Captain Lorne well but has never been given opportunity for command, nor allowed her any form of training. He doesn't even let her carry a blaster. Clearly he fears her and rightly so; for she is watching, always watching, and learning the ways of pirating through observation.

    I found this and thought it was fitting.

    I'll get to work on my wookiee now.

    Seeing that allowing Imperial characters is on tentative hold, I take it your offer to bring Alexander into this RP, is also on hold?

    Name: Issharra (shadowmane)
    Alias/Nickname: "Black"
    Gender: Male
    Age: 153
    Species: Wookiee
    Appearance:

    Weapons/Equipment:
    Wrist bowcaster
    A wrist caster with an ascension gun permanently attached in addition to the launching capabilities at the cost of any magazine.
    Pistol bowcaster
    A smaller than standard bowcaster that is too short for him to use a second hand to stabilize the grip but a smaller human would be able to do so as a regular rifle.
    Rifle bowcaster(standard)
    A standard bowcaster he uses as a snipe rifle with a remote eye scope mounted to the cross hairs of the rifle for higher accuracy.
    Heavy bowcaster
    This was based off of a weapon he discovered by a trandoshian slaver's net caster. Simply done it is four separate bowcaster frames mounted around a central shaft in an X-frame. With a simple dial, he is capable of firing one, two or all four bolts at once for horrific damage to a single opponent. Cocking all four shafts at once takes significant strength that even he would have to use a foot stirrup instead of the time to re-cock each of four one at a time.
    Special Skills:
    Power lifting, ship weapon systems and personal weapon modifications
    Ship: Drifting gunner amidst the many pirate ships. When he arrived to the pirates, he handed over a YT-1000 to add to their numbers.
    Personality:

    Brief Bio:
    Taller but lighter framed than any other Wookiee and often bullied for it. He compensated by training his body in raw power-lifting since he could not train to get stronger via combat without giving the bullies an excuse to beat him with full permission. His black fur was loose and flowing such as his namesake. Where other wookiee's wore armor to defend themselves, he had tooled for himself a harness for him to carry his gear, excellently distributing his items across his body just like a tracker utility vest. His goggles are a survival trait for two reasons, it allows him to transition from bright to dark environments like the forests of kashyyk with less light-blindness than others would suffer from and flash grenades; The second was a life experience where he nearly lost an eye to a syren flower, one of the many dangerous forms of plant life on Kashyyk.

    He was born before the Clone wars and served as the tribe technician with plenty of time to tinker on the side for a century. When the war came, he did his duties with honor and pride alongside the clones whose mass produced weapons were constantly needing to be repaired or replaced due to the true dangers of Kashyyk. When the war was over, he found himself suddenly quarantined on his home planet. He and over a dozen other wookiees made a daring raid to confiscate a ship capable of hyperspace and each one jumped to various planets to start their new lives. He stayed on with droids for a skeleton crew when the ship itself got raided by pirates.

    He hailed the pirates and offered the ship free and clear in payment for a place in the pirate fleet. Many joked that he sacked his own ship single handedly on his first day. He has spent all his time with them since then hopping from one vessel to another either fixing or upgrading some system or another.

    So far all accepted, though I would like it Hobie if you could add a bit more, and clarify if he was born during the end of the republic why was he not taken to the Jedi Temple to be trained?

    In answer to the Imperials I still need atleast one Imperial Captain, I shall allow you two to audition for it if you wish.

    With the time era we are in, Alani would also have been born into the republic, and I should point out the Jedi don't find every force sensitive child.

    Depends how obvious it is, just a little more history would seem good. How did he find out he was force sensitive etc?
