@Legion02 Well the reason Darth Nihilus could not consume the main characters life force in the second game (as well as that blind chicks whose name I've forgotten) was that they were wounds in the force. Your character more so than the blind chick, I was kind of surprised when I talked to the Jedi council and learned what I was. That game was a damn good man, makes me wish they'd make another already. (That and Vampire Masquerade)

Anyway, to a Vacare the Knights of Null will seem like wounds in the void, going off the idea all living beings are in some way connected to the void. Hence why a few select humans can manipulate it. There are some horrible grimdark side effects, of course, looking forward to seeing how that shapes out.

Edit: Also, I liked the excerpt of Vacare fluff, much needed and will be super useful.

Well seeing as the IC here is open anyway, I'll probably start working on putting up a post tomorrow. I do want to make mention of a side plot idea that is open for other players to join into. It involves a close member of the Imperial family being discovered on a hallowed world as a sort of monk who originally gave up his titles for a life of servitude in the church but as a younger brother to the emperor-- would make for a perfect political tool if that's ok with Polybius.

I'm thinking word will get out where he is and certain factions will try and reach him to help/offer protection or even outright remove him from the game. Just an open plot idea that others can join in on as a chance to interact together early on. If you're interested in taking part let me know.

@GreivousKhan I can say with certainty that Aivira will come in to take him to Aurax for safe-keeping against the current established Senate. As said, Aivira is fiercly loyal and will send out people to find the Emperor's children or anyone who is close family of the Emperor.

How do we feel about communications?

Three options in my opinion.

Lightspeed intra-system would be the slowest. Messages travel only as fast as the speed of light, and so would take minutes up to hours to reach their destinations. They'd be completely useless for inter-system obviously, so messenger ships would need to physically travel between systems carrying pre-recorded messages.

FTL intra-system is my preferred choice. Messages travel from place to place within system instantaneously. No delays in communications if you're talking to a ship on the other side of a system. However, any communications outside of the system would again require messenger ships carrying pre-recorded messages.

FTL inter-system would be the fastest. Instantaneous communications between not just planets but also stars, likely because of some kind of comm buoy relay system.

I agree with @Ozerath.

Messages being sent via courier and taking time to reach another system adds a nice information delay. Not too long, but long enough that it works well for plot developments. Besides, courier ships sound cool.

I thought we had voidcasting for communication using similar tech to our FTL through a vacare's abilties. That or quantum entanglement. I guess I mentioned it awhile back but no one picked up on it.

Maybe both? Vacare messages ser expensive/hard to transmit. Plus they're under Imperial control

@Drunken Conquistador Well ya, though given almost every ship needs at least one Vacare anyway I don't think an established faction would have trouble getting Vacare specialized in communications. Though the average citizen probably uses the aforementioned courier ships.

I imagine voidcasting uses a device that amplifies the telepathic signals they use to communicate with each other. Will make interacting with other players a bit easier and faster.

We really do need to put together something to collate all this common tech so we can keep up.

Oh look! A doc for all of this!

Sweet, this should help organize things a bit! :)

And once again, a minor change has been made in my sheet. Figured House Regis should have an Achilles Heel in that, while they now have quite a formidable homebrewed ground army, their defense fleet gets less attention, and therefore, is lacking, forcing them to depend on other sources(Gallus or the Concordat for example) for shipbuilding.

Funny enough that is also a problem the Order is going to have at the outset of the RP. speaking of..

@FrostedCaramel

Let me know if you're interested in hashing out a commission for the Exalted Suns. I'm thinking Order arranged for two dreadnoughts about two or so years ago, so by the RP start they'll be close to completion. We can probably throw out a collab when the ES comes to claim them. Who knows they might have more work for you depending on how things turn out. :P

Honestly the plot I had in mind kinda depends on Polybius posting that 'The Emperor is dead!' scene.

I might just post and poly can flashback? Idk.

So I have thrown up a very short post just to get things started. Started one story arch as well for those interested.

I will feel bad if I get someone as important as an Imperial prince uncontested. :P

@GreivousKhan that'd work for House Gallus. I had no access to internet the other day, but message me with some details and I'm more than willing.
