based on this RP.

The Sith War with Revan and Malak just ended, and people from both sides were recruited to come to the newly discovered planet of Cyphan to start a new life. Sometimes people would fall in love with someone on the other side. Sometimes they would sympathize with the others, or stop believing in the cause, and these people came to Cyphan, knowing that the Republic would never accept them or even fearing punishment.

The one who discovered this world, and who came up with the idea of settling it with people from both sides is a former Jedi Knight named Kale Durran, who married a Sith Assassin named Jenna Brek, AKA Darth Vindis. They teach what they call the Cyphan Way, that the Force isn't light or dark. The Force is life, and those are different sides of the life that creates it, both the benevolent and selfish sides.

Durran is trusted by most of the refugees, and wishes to found a direct democracy in which all adults vote in rulers that only remain as long as they maintain a 50% or greater approval rating.

He is founding a town called Cyphan City on one of the planet's large plains, near a crystal cave which is strong in the Force. There he will institute his government and treat everyone the same under the law, with the Force being treated as a tool, not an excuse to rule over others. His wife will serve as the local constable should the need arise.




The plot will basically be us adapting to this new life, culture, etc.

Think of it as a western, but with Jedi as the Mayor, a Sith as the sheriff, and a gang of Sith trying to birddog the town.

@slayerofkingsI like the idea of a sentient droid, but there are 4 issues with it.

1) I prefer if you post your CS in the OOC and then only move it to CHAR when it's approved, so we can keep unapproved CS's out of the CHAR tab. The other's CS were approved in the Int Check, which is why they moved them directly to the CHAR tab. Sorry for the confusion.
2) the picture is broken.
3) Cyphan is a newly established planet that only my characters Kale and Jenna, as well as @Sirkaithethird 's character Eric know the coordinates of. This means that he couldn't be from a space station orbiting Cyphan, nor could he travel to the planet on his own. One of us could have recruited you, though. For example, Jenna was a mid-level politician on Corellia, a Regional Governor, and a Sith, so she would have had use for an assassin droid. She could have brought you with us. Or maybe Kale or Eric found you in space and decided to give a sentient droid a chance to live as part of a society that accepted him.
4) E-11 blasters weren't developed until a couple decades BBY. This takes place during the old Republic, several thousand years earlier. Tech from the KOTOR games or the Old Republic online game would be era appropriate.

1. My apologies.
2. The picture works fine for me, maybe it's an error on your end?
3. I could change it to a lab on a ship instead of a station, and then the escape pod from the ship crash-landed on Cyphan?
4. Could I just change them to generic blasters and blaster rifles?

@slayerofkings the pic also doesn't work for me so I think that it might be a site error

@slayerofkings3) The chances of the ship randomly jumping to the Cyphan system are astronomical, and they couldn't know the coordinates.

If you want him to just be waking up, we could say that he was bought from a scrap dealer along with other junk, then reassembled enough on Cyphan by Kale to finish assembling himself. Otherwise we'll have to come up with some other way to get him there. Stowaway? Pretending to be a non-sentient protocol droid and tricking Capt. White into giving him a ride? It's possible there are rumors of Cyphan from people that turned down the offer to join the colony.

You could RP that you hid in a crate that I was bringing to set up the colony

@TheUnknowable My character lives in her ship and would be unwilling to give it up. How would we get her ship there?

It depends on how big it was. Shuttles and small freighters could probably be docked with @Sirkaithethird's ship. Anything larger would need to have someone (probably Kale) load the course for you, then purge the files from the nav computer once you are in system.
Either way, you'd be stuck in system. Shuttles and small freighters could be used to move cargo and people the ship on orbit.

@Burning Kitty
My ship originally held up to 21 small ships, and I converted it to a cargo bay but small ship could dock inside given there is space

The ship is Dynamic-class freighter, just like the Ebon Hawk.

yeah, probably a bit big. We could just say that Kale came onboard, got his M2 droid to program the course, then had it purge the course once you came out of hyperspace.
We know that T3 blocked the location of the Star Forge from the Ebon Hawk's computer, so that should fit the lore.

The main point is BLADE destroyed its creators and the place it was created and is currently stranded on Cyphan. I could change it so the laboratory was on Cyphan.

The closest thing to a laboratory on Cyphan is Kale's mechanic shop. We could say that he bought your CPU from a salvager that found the derelict ship/space station, with you "dead" from the internal defenses, or maybe it self destructed and most of you got blown into pieces. You could then find semi-functional equipment in the salvage and fix it too.

Or your escape pod could have been picked up and, either because either Kale of Capt. White picked you up, your were brought here.

One of his creators might also have had contact with Kale, Jenna, or Capt. White, and he got the coordinates for their next rendezvous (on an outer rim planet near the unknown regions, say Jakku). Then he could have come to meet them after he killed his creators.

As long as your origin isn't in the system and you got their in a believable way, it doesn't matter. The backstory for the RP just specifies that the world was only recently discovered, kept a closely guarded secret, and only colonized very recently (say 6 months or less), so it wouldn't make sense for BLADE to be developed there, or for his creators to know the location of the world.

How about during BLADE's murder of the financial backer (a Twilek), they tried to escape and when BLADE killed them at the controls of the ship it caused a hyperspace jump to Cyphan accidentally (the Twilek's body having fallen on the navigation controls) and then caused the ship to crash. Changing it so BLADE's crash landing was accidental doesn't affect the character I'm trying to play, and it explains how the ship got to an otherwise unknown part of space.

@slayerofkingsI guess that could work. A ship making a blind jump is usually destroyed, but if they were in a nearby system when they blind jumped, they wouldn't have come across many anomalies that could damage the ship and and could have been pulled out of hyperspace by the planet itself. Unable to slow down in time, the ship crashed. You would have survived either because you a so resilient or because you got to an escape pod and slowed down enough to survive.

Just update it and I'll approve it.
