A New Dawn

A long time ago, in a Galaxy far, far away...


The Emperor is dead, and with him Lord Vader and the second Death Star destroyed. The Empire lost an incredible number of its assets during the Battle of Endor, and the scattered remnants are struggling to put together any organised resistance to the rising New Republic. Across the galaxy, countless people are taking up arms against Imperial oppression, taking the death of Emperor Palpatine as a sign of the Empire's true end.

Roughly a month has passed since the decisive Battle of Endor, and while the New Republic's military keeps itself occupied with mopping up what remains of the Empire, and securing territory throughout the galaxy, the Senate has begun to establish itself properly. Wishing to extend an olive branch to worlds in order to bring them into the fold of the New Republic, the Senate has begun to dispatch Senators and Ambassadors to outlying worlds.

The war is still very much raging however, and while the heroes of the rebellion involve themselves in other matters, it's up to you to pick a side, and help decide the fate of the galaxy.



Overview

Setting: The Galaxy Far, Far Away
Time Frame: One Month after the Battle of Endor
Rp Tags: Sci-fi, Fandom, Space Opera, High Casual, Large Group, Character Driven, Military, Slice-Of-Life
Type Of RP: An original story set shortly after the Original Trilogy, in the period of the collapsing Empire and rising New Republic before the Battle of Jakku.

The RP will follow two opposing groups; The Empire and the Crew of The Raven.

The Empire is in decline, having lost control entirely over many of the core worlds, either having them taken by the New Republic, or engulfed by riots and civil war following the Emperor's death. Many of the Moffs and Governors have turned against eachother, splitting much of the Empire into factions across the galaxy, only making it easier for the rising New Republic to mop up what remains.

Much of the still-organized Empire has shifted its focus to its previously ignored Outer Rim worlds, tightening their grip on those worlds and using them to hide and regroup more than anything as they seek some way to come back from their crushing defeat at Endor. Many of these rim planets are too far out for the New Republic, still fairly unestablished, to assist, and so most who live there are trapped under the iron grip of the Imperial remnant, although rebellion still forms, and the New Republic military attempts to assist these rebels as well as they can.

A New Republic senator has been sent to join the Crew of the Raven for their diplomatic missions. Some of those aboard the Raven are members of the New Republic, and of the old Rebellion, but some are just hired help or crew, working mostly as smugglers. Not all of those aboard have particularly allegiances either way in the war, but the ship is at least contracted by the New Republic to assist in their diplomatic work. A varied bunch, they are certainly not all soldiers, and their experience of the war is vastly different to most others. But, they do stick together - whether it's because of the credits, the mission, or each other.

While both sides in this RP will have an overall goal before them, there are various other tasks for them to complete toward the war effort. It is up to you which side you want to play, but any character can switch sides. (Given the right circumstances) - the way things go in this RP is up to you!

The Empire is desperately searching the galaxy for any leg up they can get in the war, while the New Republic remains confident that it is only a matter of time until their victory. However, the Empire may now be less organized and in fewer numbers, but they still hold the upper hand in most basic regards - their use of slave labour provides them with a fairly steady revenue of supply, and their Star Destroyers remain as dangerous and powerful as always. They may be down, but they are certainly not completely out of the war just yet.

The fate of the galaxy rests on your shoulders, what information, supplies and alliances you can broker for your given side will depend. Whether you're a soldier, a senator, a pilot or just someone along for the ride, life isn't easy in the Galaxy far, far away, and every day will be a fight to survive. Things may seem good for the New Republic, but it is still mostly a government and military of smugglers, rebels and criminals, disorganized and burdened by the rigors of democracy. The Empire is in decline, and that is clear to all - mistrust and infighting plagues the remnant, and it is hard to trust anyone left.

The fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance, how will you help to affect the coming months?




Cast Of Characters


These roles aren't set in stone, but exist mostly to give you a vague idea of the kind of characters available to you. As long as it fits, you are welcome to play near any kind of character. (Although, no force sensitives) If you have any concerns that your character might not fit too well, just run it by me first so I can make sure that the role fits and works. Unfilled roles will be assigned to NPC's until they are taken.

The Galaxy


The known galaxy is vast, and although a great deal of the Galactic West remains mostly unexplored, that which has been is separated into a series of sectors. For ease of reference, use this guide. - The Galaxy

The Core Worlds:
  • Coruscant: Also known as Imperial Center during the reign of the Empire - was the seat of government for the Old Republic, Galactic Republic and Galactic Empire, and the homeworld of the human species. Much of the world is involved in a planetary civil war between Imperial remnants and New Republic sympathizers.
  • Chandrila: The homeworld of the New Republic's leader - Mon Mothma, and the capital of the New Republic. Chandrila serves as the seat of the newly formed Galactic Senate, and a relative safe haven from the ongoing war.
  • Hosnian Prime: A world under the control of the New Republic, a large center of commerce and political involvement for the New Republic.
  • Corellia: Corellia is a world under conflict between the Empire and the New Republic, and a major metropolitan center. Corellia is known for its ace pilots and large starships.
  • Kuat: Still under Imperial control, Kuat is a vital shipbuilding and industrial planet known for the Kuat Drive Yards. Kuat serves as the most important ship-building center in the galaxy for the Empire.

The Mid Rim:
  • Naboo: A bountiful planet, Naboo is the home to the Gungan species and a member of the New Republic. Naboo's government exists as an Elective monarchy, and was the homeworld to the late Emperor Palpatine
  • Kashyyyk: A world engulfed in open rebellion and ongoing war, Kashyyyk is the Wookiee homeworld, and was a slave world under the Empire. Since the Battle of Endor most Wookiee slaves have risen up against the Imperials along with New Republic assistance.
  • Dathomir: A remote, neutral planet, Dathomir was the home to the nightsisters and nightbrothers. Dathomir was the location of much conflict during the Clone Wars, and there are many sinister stories surrounding the world.

The Outer Rim:
  • Akiva: Akiva has become a major center of Imperial control in the Outer Rim territories, considering its remote nature, the New Republic pays little attention to the world as it stands, and is oblivious to the Imperial presence.
  • Ryloth: Homeworld to the Twi'lek species, Ryloth suffered severely under Imperial oppression and still does. A failed assassination attempt on the Emperor and Lord Vader in the early years of the empire only tightened the Empire's grip. Pockets of rebellion have sprung up, and the New Republic is planning an offensive to take the world.
  • Tatooine: The homeworld to Anakin and Luke Skywalker, Tatooine is a sparsely inhabited desert planet, and equal parts the most and least important world in the galaxy. Controlled by the Hutts, the Empire makes regular expeditions to the world, as does the New Republic.
  • Dantooine: A grassy world populated mostly by farmers, Dantooine is famous for having previously been the home to numerous Jedi temples and enclaves. It is one of the only worlds in the galaxy where lightsaber crystals grow naturally, and once served as the base of the Rebellion
  • Yavin IV: Once the headquarters of the Rebel Alliance, it was above Yavin IV that the first Death Star was destroyed. A jungle world, it lies under New Republic control, and is still scattered with ruins and debris from the Death Star.

The Unknown Regions:
  • Rakata Prime: Also known as Lehon, Rakata Prime served as the capital world of the ancient Infinite Empire, which created incredibly powerful super weapons, stations and starships which still exist to this day, despite their rarity.
  • Ilum: Ilum is an ice covered world which was mostly forgotten after the destruction of the Jedi Order. Important to the Jedi, Ilum was one of the only, and the most major source of lightsaber crystals in the Galaxy.

I'm also considering on making an imperial character as my second character... may make it a stormtrooper (maybe a female one, but not like Phasma and on a more Sergeant level)

Forgot to mention to you guys, but make sure you all complete the Relations sheet, the crew of the Raven has been together a while, so PM each other and make sure you work out how your characters feel about one-another. ^^

So for my Imperial character, I was thinking of her to be a Stormtrooper... but I wanted her to be a little special with her armor. I have some design ideas that may be of interest, mostly based on redesigned ST armor.

I'd prefer to keep things as close to Canon as possible, so i'm afraid none of those would really work. However, if you'd like to make the stormtrooper character more specialised/individual, then i'd be open to letting you have her be a Death Trooper.

*Squeals*

Ooooooh! Of course! Why hadn't I thought of using them? Then again, why was I refusing the concept of Dark Troopers in general? However, Death Troopers will fit quite nicely. :) I'll see to it that my second character will be finished this week, hopefully by Friday.

How strict. Still open for apps?

Can Bounty Hunters be OC? (Within the constraints Star Wars universe, of course.) Or does it have to be a pre-existing Bounty Hunter.

In "Cast Of Characters" for the Empire, yes, you can be a Bounty Hunter and yes I also believe it must be an OC (considering all of our CS' are OCs too).

I'm alright with him having a very basic understanding, where he can understand the basic gist of what a droid is saying, but he probably wouldn't understand it as clearly as others. Binary/Droidspeak wasn't a really common language to understand, especially for those who weren't starfighter pilots.

True, and I'm also ok with that. I take it he'd need some info when it comes to some missions and such anyways.
