We are opening up another round of recruitment for our multiverse sci-fi RP, though we have gone through some events in the story so far, and the ships of our newcomers shall be joining in the middle of an ongoing war. You will no longer be arriving in a blinding flash of light in the middle of space, but rather will be approached by a being with the appearance of a Human woman, but an otherworldly power, requesting assistance against an enemy threatening multiple realities.
The Republic has fallen. The Jedi Order has been destroyed in the wake of Order 66 and the Galactic Empire rose through Sheev Palpatine’s machinations. Through all of this, a mysterious figure appeared looming over his shoulder. A man in dark robes, a faceless veil. New technologies unveiled faster more powerful ships with shields unlike any the Galaxy has ever seen. As Clone Troopers are phased out to the new Stormtrooper more and more take on black armour that seems to be impervious to all attacks. The Empire's grip on the Galaxy is absolute, there appears to be no hope for those wishing for freedom.
That is until all throughout the Multiverse a power unknown to beings of the lesser planes decides that it can no longer stand by while this untold power threatens the very balance of all things. A blinding flash of light and a myriad of vessels from different universes appear stranded in deep space. The first wave of ships appeared disoriented and unsure of what had happened; each ship using places and names familiar to them but foriegn to the others. When faced with their first threat, however, they joined together and repelled it. After their first skirmish with the fledgling and empowered Empire, they received a visitation from the one responsible for their abrupt appearance in an unfamiliar galaxy.
Once it was decided that all those taken would help or leave, their mission was made clear. However, shortly after, as one of the ship’s aided a fleet of Seperatist survivors and a battle with another super powered fleet, a usurper by the name of Anubis revealed what Palpatine had done and announced he had taken the now deceased Emperor’s throne after dooming the planet of Alderaan. Now, new allies are arriving, having been approached by Elizabeth, a human whose mind was ascended beyond her mortal shell, and brought to fight an ongoing war against a tyrant with the power to invade the multiverse. All that remains is to decide a course of action.
OOC Bit:
A Battlestar, Goa'uld Ha'tak, Paris-Class Frigate, Milano and a Cross-field Class wander into a bar...
Basically, this Roleplay will be a Story set in the Star Wars Universe, with some key differences. A mysterious figure is working with Palpatine, giving him access to technologies and information that he didn't have in the normal continuity. This increase in power changes the rise of the Empire from a gradual struggling with remaining Separatist Cells to a sure-fire win. Rather than the political wrangling, Palpatine expected, with access to this new technology his grip on the galaxy is absolute.
Depending on the size of the group we'll all start in the same area of space, will we fight, will we band together, will we flee? There's only one way to find out! There's not much more I need to say.
Other than it's going to be pretty Sandbox, you can go where you want in the Galaxy. Be warned, however, whatever cosmic force brought us to the Star Wars galaxy seems unwilling to let us go until whatever issue it sensed is resolved.
Rules:
1. GMs rule is law.
2. If PvP results in a dispute GMs will decide on the outcome.
3. The usual rules. No Powergaming/Metagaming/Smut.
4. Respect your other players.
5. Have Fun
Applying:
As mentioned in the IntChk different ships have different power levels. This is because different ships from different franchises are set in different eras and with different problems to solve. I.E. In W40k, they have the ability to glass planets, yet in Stargate the human ships are only made possible by the reverse engineering, studying and help from alien allies.
It's important to note that the main reason the CS exists is to determine whether or not your ship will fit into the roleplay. This is up to the discretion of the GMs. Feel free to fluff the CS up as much as you want.
The Star Wars Universe.... as it was. Star Wars Wikia

A long time ago, in a Galaxy Far, Far Away...
