Resistance Cell RP?

I want to start an RP where we are the members of a resistance cell, but don't know what universe to set it in.

Ideas:
Star Wars: We are defending our world against either the Seps or Republic during the clone wars.
Star Wars: A rebel cell during the Empire.
Earth/Starwars crossover: Maybe this backstory or one of Generation Tech's. Earth was in the SW Unknown regions and they found us. Someone is conquering Earth (Seps or Empire) and we are a resistance group. Some of us may be a Pheonix, a person that was force sensitive and studied enough of the force documents that got linked to the Internet and darknet to be able to use it in one form or another.
Earth: Aliens invaded and we are the resistance.
Star Trek: Bajorans during the occupation.

If you have any other ideas, just post them.

Not a fan of the Earth/Star Wars stuff or Bajoran occupation.

The rest I would be cool with.

Pretty much anything Star Wars, minus Earth involvement.

If do the Clone Wars one, we should be fighting the Sepratists.

Either way we go I know exactly the character I want to play. He is based on this guy, but is not that guy, be my own spin on it.

@Burning KittyWhat about this plot:

Before the Clone Wars Taris (a non-racist somewhat rebuilt form of the one in KOTOR) left the Republic. The people believed that the taxation and regulations placed on it by the Republic far exceeded the benefits of belonging to the Republic. When the Clone Wars began, however, they refused to join the CIS, believing it would be the same with them and wanting to remain neutral.
The CIS didn't like their refusal to join, and decided to try and "persuade" the leadership the join. When bribes, threats, and assassination attempts failed, they launched an invasion. They didn't count on the fact that the old ruins would provide ample cover for the locals, and faced far more resistance than they'd expected.

I had been considering some ideas for an alien resistance thing, does the resistance have to be the "good guys"? resistance cells arent always nice...

@Lucidnonsensenot necessarily good, but I don't want to just be some crime lord's lackey that's fighting a war against the military.
If you want to be the kind of resistance that most people assume are terrorists, and use torture, kidnapping, and assassinations to fight our enemy (who's still more evil than us), I'd be willing to hear any ideas you had on that. Not many people would want to play that, though, so I didn't post ideas for that kind of resistance.

Ah ok, I was more going for the whole "is our enemy really the bad guys?" kinda thing, which is probably not what you were going for, a more morally grey kinda thing where neither side is clearly the bad guys. so probably not what you had in mind.

@Lucidnonsensewhat do you mean by "morally grey"? I don't care if we aren't the good guys, as long as we aren't quite on their level. It's hard to balance the two sides, so if we are just not quite as bad as them (maybe we won't target innocents without a good reason), I think we can balance it a be better. For example, we are Saul's group in Rogue One. We can, however, have a "good" cell of NPCs in the story for contrast. Maybe they attack a military base as we are slaughtering everyone in it, no quarter given.

@TheUnknowableCount me interested. Again, not a massive fan on the Earth involved one, but the other Star Wars ones I am up for.

@LucidnonsenseNow that I think about it, you could also be the one that takes it too far, and gets in fights with the other cell members. We'd keep you around because we need you, not because we agree with your actions.

@LetMeDoStuff Any one in particular?

That idea catches my interest a lot. It's different from the regular Rebellion but allows for Full-Scale disadvantages to really settle in.

@TheUnknowableYou had me at Taris. I don't remember Taris being racist, but it's been an incredibly long time since I played.

@Burning Kittyyeah, aliens weren't really welcome in the upper city, and there was a street preacher talking about them, calling them "vermin". That was over 5 thousand years earlier, though, so other than a run in with rakghouls there won't be much reference to KOTOR.

@Burning KittyNo, just Revan in KOTOR. Unless it was a mod or something.

I never played mods for any of the KOTORs.
