Sacking of the Arcturan capital?

Well, I'm thinking that a recent intelligence probe driven through the ranks of the Arcturanian Imperium's fighting forces has revealed that Jericha's honeyed proposals of liberation, glory, and retribution have resonated magnificently with the throne's Planetary Siege Legions: a critical extension of the Imperium's armored core whose prime composition is almost entirely comprised of Vilojaun Aspect Knights. A plot outlining the assassination of key Arcturan political personnel was also uncovered (which has also led to a number of Arcturan loyalists pressing the notion that the Vilojaun had something to do with the emperor's mysterious disappearance).

Naturally, all Vilojaun military personnel directly (and indirectly) involved in the scheme were forcibly decamped to a designated penal world several hundred light-years away from Almata as part of a proactive precautionary measure against potential insurgency. They'll also be further interrogated, subjected to a military tribunal's court room, found guilty, and eventually executed if nothing outlandish unfolds beforehand.

However, Brukraun Yimir and its heavily decorated and famous pilot Klevacane The Beast (a stern man who secretly harbors both a simmering distaste for imperial foreign policy and a particularly powerful romantic fondness for Jericha) will most likely be present during the sacking. Beast's unaffiliation with the assassination plot enabled him to remain on Almata unmolested, but his status as a high profile Vilojaun war leader has earned him an eternal spot on the Imperial Watch's shit list. He is suspect.

His personal war idol is so mindbogglingly huge and mechanically complex that the dissembling process slated for it was postponed due to an insufficient degree of logistical and technical support. It rests in a giant "temple" (see: holding pen) located on one of the largest imperial bases on the capital.

I should have that sheet done tomorrow.

Hello everyone. As you can see, i'm pretty new here, but i've been looking for a site of this sort and this RP really caught my eye, so here I am. I posted a faction in the character tab, feel free to look at it and use it for collaboration as well as offer advice. I referenced one or two of of the already accepted works, so hopefully that works out with you all. I don't really know how this is all supposed to work, but I have a good deal of experience roleplaying in person, so that should carry over, but feel free to correct me if I slip up somewhere in terms of formatting or something. Anyways, just wanted to introduce myself to you all, make my faction known and all that. I've read through most of what's been put up by others already, and I like what I see. I look forward to collaborating with you all!

So should we make a timeline of the sacking of Almata?

I'm afraid I'll have to pull out of this RP. Good luck and have fun to the rest of you!

What's the progress on the applications? I'm kind of anxious to get this show on the road

@Dagoth, @TehAlphaGamer, and @Arawak are accepted. I apologize for the delay in reading and accepting the apps.

We need to get something started in the IC soon, so if anyone wants to write something up just let us know.

Looks like its time to be disgusting and horrifying to the pretenders and reactionaries.

@ZadubadabuI will write up my app tomorrow.
EDIT: It'll be about Martians.
@FlaggI am thinking of making them the real Martians.
AKA the ones who used to attack the British in the 19th century and then were forced to escape their planet because it became uninhabitable.
Lacking FTL methods at the time they literally traveled thousands of years in stasis and perhaps they had awakened in almost the recent times.
They lied in wait and watched the humans already being a great interstellar empire with envy. They now plan to take over this dominion as it should have been.
Does this sound about right to you?
Hopefully this doesn't clash with any plots. How large was the empire to begin with?

Willy. What is with you and these martians. Why is it always the martians.

Because I have yet to play them?
All my other ideas already on route to realization.
I have yet to post with Martians.

This would imply this universe has a Earth and I recall Flagg not wanting to have Earth involved.

Well, then I gotta adopt a bit.
Pity because the sodium overdose the Martians would get could be hilarious.
They try to invade Earth twice and their plans are foiled. Mars is becoming uninhabitable due to their extensive abuse of the industry. They leave on slow ships and due to a malfunction they travel for thousands of years. And when they begin to rise again they realize those primitive humans surpassed them long ago.
You can almost feel their frustration from the letters.

...Than again, Flagg's not running things.

Maybe we can just say some point millennia ago there was some earth and martians that existed and no one remembers it because the houses purged all history at some point for whatever reason. Than you get your martians.

It's a safe bet actually. Given the backdrop is some ancient galactic empire.
Earth is nothing special and thanks to mankind's abuse I bet it'd be long worthless by now. Earth could be even a barren lifeless rock which nobody visits nowadays.

That could work. Maybe the Imperium did it as a way to consolidate power away from some earlier Earth-based nation.
Or what Willy Vereb said. Or both.

One of my ideas include the Martians messing up Mars so much it exploded. Maybe it also messed up Earth a bit and mankind chose to abandon the solar system?
Then they started over and built their galactic empire we know.
Depending on the size of the Arcturan Empire and its age I can even change the travel method of the ship from STL to slow FTL. Whichever fits.

They exploded mars.

Lemme process that in my head for a bit.

They exploded an entire planet.

Eh, there's been more over the top things in sci-fi I suppose.

The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

The Arcturan Empire can be as large or small as we want it to be. As to age, we do have the Flagg established current date, which presumably counts zero as the founding of the Imperium

Hey it was an accident! Who thought using the core of Mars as a makeshift nuclear reactor to power their industry was a bad idea?

Okay maybe the martians aren't a good idea. They sound really cartoony which is totally out of place in a RP where everything's supposed to more 40K or Dune in terms of style. That other space RP where I had a species of telekinetic balls would've been more fitting for them if it wasn't for Aaron being all philosophical.
