It is a time of conflict in the Galaxy, the Emperor is dead alongside his right hand man Darth Vader during the destruction of the Second Death Star above the forest moon of Endor during a battle that saw many of the Imperial War Machines Senior naval officers perish. As the Rebellion transitions into the New Republic all out war spreads throughout the Galaxy. A war, that is rife with opportunity.

Jabba the Hutt is dead, his sailbarge destroyed. The remaining Hutts, their numbered diminished, all vie for the scraps in order to absorb Jabbas vast criminal empire into their own.

In this Roleplay, Players will be playing characters confined within Hutt Space. Political shiftings in the wider Galaxy, as well as within this area of space provides a rich canvas for players to make their own stamp on Star Wars history. Shall you fight with the New Republic to liberate those that have lived under the Hutts for centuries? Or will you seek the power that the Hutts once held for yourself? It is possible for a player to play as part of one of the GM controlled factions, to form their own faction or to alternatively act as an individual just trying to make a living in a dangerous galaxy. If you make a faction, you do not need to play the leader of the faction.

Rules:

1. While I am open to Input, like many RP's GMs word is law.
2. No killing off other player characters/Important NPCs with just one hit. Discussion needs to happen OOC and agreements need to be made that said...
3. If you do something incredibly stupid, such as putting your character right in the way of a turbolaster blast. They're probably going to die, while I want to avoid having anyones chars/npcs die when they don't want them too, try to act logically with them to preserve their life.
4. Please keep faction growth realistic, if you are in charge of a faction.
5. No Metagaming/Powergaming.
6. This Roleplay is going to contain some slightly more mature themes, blood, gore and swearing is allowed however should be kept tasteful (no doing it just for the sake of doing it). Anything in regards to what you are doing to that alien hooker, we don't need to know.
7. In your character history mention some form of dealing with a Drunk Dug with a Gambling Problem at least once, it doesn't need to be elaborate just to make me know you've read the rules (in a non obvious manner).
8. Initial Maximum of Two PCs per player, further can be discussed after at least four good quality posts in two weeks.
9. Respect eachother.
10. Have fun.

GM - Controlled Factions:

These factions are controlled by myself in order to facilitate events that can help players progress and interact with one another.

Hutt Cartel

The Hutt Clan is not what it once was, after the death of Jabba the Hutt the most infamous and powerful of the Hutt Cartel there was serious disarray amongst the council that formed the leadership of the Hutt Cartel. Their number had been seriously hurt since the start of the Clone Wars, Jabbas death had been the final nail in the coffin as Hutts warred among themselves to pick up the slack. While they still control the majority of Hutt Space they no longer have full control.

More recently a Hutt by the name of Boonatta siezed control, and rather than leading as a council 'she' rules with an iron first... as Queen.

Important NPCs

These are not the only members of the Hutt Cartel, however are some of the most important.

Boonatta - Queen Hutt

Boonatta is a ruthless, cunning and dangerous Hutt. Largely in the shadows throughout the Cartels history, she never truly had a place on the council of the Hutt Clan. For whatever reason Jabba saught to have her distanced from the major affairs of the Hutt Clan, much like Grakkus. However unlike Grakkus who found himself imprisoned by the Rebel Alliance Boonatta managed to Capitalize on the death of Jabba. First to the sail barge where he died, first to find the recording of his death and subsequently destroy it.

She rose in power fast, and killed those that opposed her. Thankfully the Hutt life span is incredibly long, for her court has very few members and she keeps a close eye on any other Hutts that are not in her court.

Timana

Timana is Boonattas biggest rival, while he is physically more impressive than Boonatta he lacks the political support in order to do anything about killing her, and she is far too careful to be caught off guard. Instead he plays along while in public, and Boonatta keeps him around solely as he has contacts and information that is incredibly useful to her.

This is a relationship just waiting to come crashing to a terrible end, and when it does there will be blood.

Marlo

Marlo was one of the Hutts that sat at Jabbas table, one of the few who did so and still manages to be in the court of the new 'Queen'. Marlo doesn't typically care who is in charge, all he cares about is his own profits and lavish lifestyle. Things are good, as he's still the biggest slave trader within Hutt Space.

Task Force Rancor

Task Force Rancor was assigned by the New Republic Senate to investigate and, if deemed appropriate, intervene in the events of Hutt Space. As the New Republic discovers that all out war is the result of the death of the Emperor they are finding that now more than ever they need supplies, credits and soldiers who know how to fight and are not just farm boys who are thrust into conflict. Hutt Space provides a wealth of all these things, and as such the Task Force has deployed agents all throughout the sector to try and gauge support for the New Republic.

While initially they were met largely with hostility, as things change within the space more and more individuals are entertaining the idea of being free. It is still unknown whether the senate will approve military action or try a more peaceful diplomatic method, all that is known is that sooner or later the Imperials are going to try the same thing.

Important NPCs

I will be responsible for any information from the higher echelons of command not within Task Force Rancor.

Admiral Romi Hansumi

Admiral Romi Hansumi has been with the Rebellion since it's inception, New Republic records don't shed much on his history though everyone that works for him knows that before he was a Rebel he was a pirate that targetted Imperial Shipments. While it is nothing new that an Officer in the 'Rebel Navy', now the New Republic Starfleet, used to be a pirate it's one of those facts that they aren't entirely comfortable with the ignorant masses knowing.

With his familiarity of Hutt Space, and with the results he offered during the Rebellion when the New Republic comissioned a Task Force outside of Hutt Space he was the obvious choice. He commands the task force from the MC80 Liberator.

Colonel Lance Thereon

Colonel Thereon is the officer in charge of the Pathfinder contingent placed within Task Force Rancor, while there are many other ground elements present in the fleet the only group currently active within Hutt Space are the Pathfinders, with their ability to look like just any other mercenary. Word in the fleet is that he grew up in Hutt Space and has been fighting all his life.

Colonel Wilma Imari

Wilma Imari is the black sheep in the command structure of Task Force Rancor. Former Imperial, turned Rebel Informant turned New Republic Intelligence Operative. She's in charge of the spies, the informants and the general nasty business that no-one else wants to touch. Her methods, sometimes questioned due to her past. It can't be doubted however that she gets the job done.

The Believers

The believers are a radical, revolutionary movement in Hutt space. Growing slowly in the past ten years, it is most famed for the Xolu revolt however until the death of Jabba the Hutt was confirmed that broadcasts from their leader Cipher increased throughout Hutt Space and more and more members began to revolt against their previous lords and masters. Many of these revolts are quickly quashed with extreme force, however for every ten revolutionaries killed one more seems to slip away.

Cipher

The leader of the Believers is a figure known only as “Cipher”. He is an enigmatic individual who, much like the organization he represents, operates primarily from the shadows. His ever-increasing bounty postings describe him as a red-skinned Twi’lek of average height and average build, possibly in his mid-to-late thirties. However, his identity has never been independently confirmed.

According to Beliefers sources, Ci[her was a former slave who orchestrated a slave revolt on the planet Xolu ten years prior: an event which, at the very least, can be confirmed to have actually happened. They describe him as a brilliant tactician and a compassionate leader. He is charismatic, and is known to broadcast passionate speeches, with his voice masked, on hijacked holonet transmissions. Whether any of the information on Cipher is accurate, or if he is even an individual who exists at all, remains to be seen, but the influence that the figure has had on the region is undeniable

Player Factions:

These factions are created by players, and will list if they are able to be applied for.

^{F A Qs}

Can I play a Force Wielder?

Yes, however there needs to be detailed explanation to how they discovered this affinity for the force and how any training was achieved.

Can I join a player faction?

That is up to the player who made the faction.

Can I join a GM Faction?

Yes, it is encouraged. I view them as less GM Factions as GM controlled. My control over them is how I control he world that we're in and ensure that everyone has something to get them going.

Where does my character start?

That is entirely up to you, I know that some players will have an idea straight from the get go of what they want to do. Do not fear, I'm going to be giving everyone something to get the ball rolling. I'd advise a major centre of activity such as Nal Hutta, Nar Shadda, Ilos Minor or Sleyhorn.

There be a thing here, though some of you noticed already.

[EliteCommander]

Name: Sirka Rhiko

Species: Ssi-ruu

Age: 30

Appearance:

Ssi-ruu

Stands at 2.15 meters, and at a weight of 355 kg.

Faction: Unaffiliated

Equipment: Like most Ssi-ruu, Sirka wears only bandoliers across her chest to carry her belongings, along with whatever holsters she needs. Her primary weapon is a heavy repeating blaster rifle, attached to a power pack on her back. As a sidearm, she carries an E-11 blaster rifle, and a one-handed variant of a vibro-ax as a backup weapon. She carries a bandolier with a small number of stun grenades, and usually a single thermal detonator.
Skills (and abilities)

• Close to medium range combat specialist
• Strength equivalent to an adult wookiee
• Thick, blaster resistant hide
• Very keen sense of smell (able to detect changes in the emotional state of species with which she is familiar)
• Triple eyelids resist sudden bursts of light
• Growing knowledge of grenades and explosive devices
• Surprising speed and grace for a creature of her size, when not encumbered by equipment

Weaknesses:

• Long-range combat
• Eyesight poorer than that of a human
• Skill set not terribly varied beyond combat
• Stands out in a crowd, or any other situation
• While Ssi-ruu do possess natural agility, that agility is diminished when wielding her primary blaster
• Little to no stealth capabilities

History: Destiny is not a concept in which Sirka believes, but it can certainly be said that fortune has both blessed and cursed Sirka to great degrees throughout her life, starting even before she could form memories. It started with a group of Trandoshan hunters exploring unknown areas of the outer rim for new and challenging game to hunt. Though their expedition was not terribly successful and ended with quite a few casualties on their side, Sirka’s egg was one of the trophies taken. She might have been raised as an oddity or slave among them, but her fortune turned when the Trandoshans ran afoul of a Jedi investigating pirates in the area. Being a member of an unknown species, it was only due to the Jedi’s acute observations and senses that she was identified as a sentient creature at all.

Devoid of any connection to the force, the young reptilian was, unfortunately, unable to remain at the temple. Once the Jedi made that determination, they did at least assist in finding her a home. After some consideration and searching, she ended up in the care of a trusted Togruta couple on Coruscant, as they were merchants who did regular business with the Jedi Order. They were a reasonably wealthy couple who wanted to give a good life to their new daughter, whom they named Sirka, but once more, fortune’s pendulum swung in the other direction for her. The rise of the Empire destroyed the life that her parents had established. They avoided being caught in the initial transition, but their former association with the Jedi Order caused them to flee Imperial space out of fear for their lives.

While they were able to flee with some of their assets, Sirka’s family ultimately lost most of the wealth they had. They, like many others, ended up as poor refugees on Nar Shaddaa. What was more, Sirka’s mother had already been pregnant with another child before they fled, so they had two daughters to support.

After some time, Sirka ended up growing much larger, and much more quickly than her parents could have expected. And that, of course, came with more expensive requirements for her care. Sirka grew up in cramped, often unsanitary conditions, with nothing in the form of luxuries simply because her parents wanted to make sure that their children did not go hungry. Even then, they had to sacrifice their own meals from time to time. In as lawless and unforgiving of a place as the Smugglers’ Moon was, it would have been simple for them to abandon Sirka, but they pressed on through her formative years, even when that meant resorting to more unsavory methods of supporting their family. Fortunately, their dedication was rewarded once Sirka was grown.

Given Sirka's species, she matured more quickly than a Togruta, and that growth had shaped her into an over-2-meter-tall, 350 kilogram beast of a reptilian. There was no form of formal school system in their part of Nar Shaddaa, so her parents had attempted to teach her whatever skills and knowledge they could to the best of their ability, but ultimately, her physical attributes were more suited to more dangerous work. She started off as a bodyguard that, through mere intimidation factor, rarely had to fight anyone, but she was drawn into other kinds of better paying mercenary work over time. She acquired her first blaster on the same day that she learned her scales were, in fact, resistant to blaster fire, and taught herself to shoot from there. Physical limitations with her eyesight prevented her from becoming too great of a marksman, but her circumstances and abilities forged her into a talented mercenary. At her sister’s insistence, Sirka has attempted to avoid falling into the trap of relying on her unique natural traits and has tried to keep improving herself, at least as far as it will help her work. In particular, she worked on how to use and understand grenades and other explosive devices. All the while, she used her growing income not only to support, but start improving the lives of her family.

Pleasantly for Sirka, she was able to help move her parents to a better part of Nar Shaddaa: a place that was reasonably safe, by the moon’s standards. After all of the sacrifices they made for her, she found herself dedicated to repaying them. She has become fairly successful as a freelance mercenary and has gone into business with her sister, Delni Rhiko. While Delni does not join in fighting, she does have a knack for business and helps her sister to find opportunities, and to make the best use of the funds they have. Although, Sirka still hopes to move even farther up the galaxy’s economic ladder to provide an even better lifestyle for herself and her family.

@EliteCommander Given you your only bit of feedback on Discord.

Working on my character and his faction now.

[Sebastian]

Akazin

Species:
Corellian

Age:
50

Faction:
Prudii Verda

Equipment:

• Double bladed lightsaber with dark red crystal core.
• 7 inch vibroblade

Skills:

Force training: Like all force user current or otherwise Akazin has had severely rigorous training, a deadly kind of training that has hardened him. He was trained in the art of the double bladed lightsaber which he can combine with force techniques to make his blows more deadly and devastating. He is combat efficient with all manner of blades and prefers them to blasters anyday.

Endurance: Akazin has a great resilience to pain, he is a man who can not be broken through what some would consider normal means. He is capable of withstanding punishment and does not tire as quickly like others would.

Intelligence: Akazin is highly intelligent and was always favored above most as a strategist and a careful planner. Unlike most he is capable of pushing aside emotion and use his brain to get through tough situations. He is a born thinker and is always planning his next move in heavy situations. This widely may contribute to why he survive as long as he has when many others have died young.

Weaknesses:

Damaged body: Age might be kind to some, but for a battle field veteran, with age comes pain in places you never knew existed. Akazin's body has suffered severe damage, lasting damage that hinders him a lot more now then it did in the past. It is because of this that he is not as fast as he used to be or as strong anymore. His reflexes are also hindered due to this same reason. He often suffers from pain throughout the day even if he does not show it.

Blasters: Akazin has no real skill with blasters, as he does not use them therefore he has no real experience with them. This can put him at a severe disadvantage if ever he was disarmed from his blades and left without a weapon.

Hunted: Akazin is a well known figure from his days in the Galactic Empire, and this alone always puts him mortal danger when he is alone. There are many out there who would pick him off just because he is near enough to kill. His trademark yellow eye's almost always give him away even on covert operations.

Large: Akazin is quite a large man decking out at 6'6" and weighing close to 250 pounds and lets face it, this alone can make him a walking target in combat situations. Even with speed Akazin still has to always guard his body from possible attacks a smaller person might be able to avoid a lot easier.

History:

Akazin was born into slavery, that is his earliest recollections of life and at times some of the only true memories he has as a child growing up. His mother belonged to a hutt and so therefore Akazin also belonged to that same Hutt, often times being subjugated to a Drunk Dug with a Gambling Problem. Most of his younger years were spent doing mundane tasks of disgusting natures and dreaming of escaping from the a hell that had no real way out. As he grew so did his anger towards the world he lived in, he hated his life, he hated being a slave and even more he hated his own mother for putting him into the situation. This anger caused him to rebel and because of it his face and forehead were scarred permanently as a punishment and as an example of what would happen to those who appose their masters. This act only heightened his resolve and eventually his acts of aggression cost him the life of the only person who gave a damn about his existence... his mother.

They killed her in his place to break him but in the end it only drove him to madness where he attempted to take his masters life, the attempt failed and Akazin was to die. Thrown into the rancor put as entertainment for his masters pleasure he fought for his life but to no avail, it was simply a battle that could not be won. At the very end Akazin managed to escape from the rancor pit through an old escape route and ran for his life. Jumping onto a smugglers ship at the port he sailed away from the hutt that owned him and into the first freedom he had ever had since birth. Soon after he found himself lost in life, on a distant planet with not a credit to his name and life became even more complicated as he fought to the death just so he could eat to survive.

It was during the clone wars that Akazin really made a name for himself, the moment you could say where his life truly changed, the moment he was approached by a man who was part of force sensitive group known as Inquisitorius. The man could feel his hatred and offered to help him harness it into a weapon that would destroy any who dared to appose him, all he had to do was serve the Galactic Empire. Wanting the power, wanting revenge on his master, wanting death itself to be at his fingertips, Akazin went with the man willingly and began the hardest and deadliest training of his life. It was this training that truly sent the son of slave free from him bindings and chains, and gave him purpose in a galaxy that had none. By the end of the clone wars Akazin had been transformed into a deadly weapon in the name of the Empire and he was granted his one wish of revenge.

He did return to the planet that held all his most hated memories and he took revenge on the hutt that had kept him nothing more then a slave, he slain the hutt and everyone in his path and got his final revenge. It was after this incident that his face and his name became well known within the universe, the other hutts put a bounty on his head sizable enough to have you set for life. It is within this time frame that Akazin returned to the Galactic Empire, around this time it is believed that Akazin first came into contact with Prudii Verda, the fabled hit squad of the empire.

It is unknown how he came to be within their ranks and even what happened to the man who trained Akazin, a lot of his history within the galaxy is widely unknown. It is known however that Akazin became one of the deadliest weapons in the Empire and is Prudii Verda. When order 58 was put into affect it was thought that Akazin died in the ambush, however he was seen various times after that and was working in sync with Prudii Verda to obtain revenge for the betrayal. After the fall of the empire Akazin took his place in the command structure of Prudii Verda and works as second in command to O'r te werda, he is the only man to ever lay eye's on the mysterious leader as is his right hand man in all operations and subjects when it comes to the well being of the faction itself.

Prudii Verda {Faction}

Faction Classification:
Paramilitary / Mercenary's

Faction Leader:
O'r te werda

Faction Members(Players):
Akazin / 2nd in Command / Commander

[To Be Updated]

Important NPCs:

O'r te werda

O'r te werda which in mandalorian tongue means Warrior in Shadows is the mysterious leader of the Prudii Verda. Perhaps one of the galaxy's best kept secrets, no man or beast alive has ever lay eye on O'r te werda. It is not entirely certain even if O'r te werda is a man or woman. Even their race has never been fully determined. Incredibly smart and resourceful O'r te werda has brought the Prudii Verda to a dominance the likes of which has not been seen in many centuries of turmoil and bloodshed.

Faction Assets:

Faction Assets

Prudii be Kyr'am or Shadow of Death was the flagship of the Prudii Verda when they were still part of the Galactic Empire. After the completion of order 58 this flagship was taken down due to internal espionage and crash landed on an unknown planet in Hutt Space. Left to rot by the Empire, having believed it to be destroyed in the atmosphere of the planet it fell into, this downed flagship become what is now known as the stronghold the Prudii Verda is based out of. While the ship itself will most likely never fly again its wreckage has been reinforced and many altercations made to it along with heavy exterior shielding to make it a strong and lethal foothold for the Prudii Verda and its members.

The Prudii Verda in terms of worth is quite unknown, being a quite successful mercenary group it is said they have amassed a rather impressive amount of credits, upwards of millions to fund their operations. These credits are often used to supply and uphold their small fleet which is comprised of fast and agile ships that can transport their members across the galaxy effectively and quickly if need be. It is a well know fact however that most members of this faction have their own personal ships that they acquired through their own means.

Rough estimates:

Credits: Upwards of a at least over five million

Ships owned - Ten ships are currently known about within the Prudii Verda fleet aside from personal owned ships. These ships are fast types with fairly good shielding and firepower if the need arises. One well know vessel is a battle class medium frigate which is used to help defend the Prudii Verda base of operations and is always on standby.

Manpower - It is not exactly know how much manpower and or members they may truly have but it is said they have at least fifteen well trained mercenaries and a contingent of over fifty members who range from engineers to designers and various other professions that help to support the Prudii Verda.

Weaponry - Being well funded the Prudii Verda has access to various types of weapons ranging from blasters all the way up to heavy weaponry. They are not on the literal forefront of weapons or do they have any kind of stake in special weapons only they have, but they are quite capable and ready if one were stupid enough to try and attack them head on.

Faction History:

Prudii Verda which means Shadow Warriors in Mandalorian is a paramilitary Mercenary faction consisting mostly of highly trained individuals from around the galaxy. Often thought of as a Mandalorian faction it is in fact not Mandalorian based nor is it predominantly part of any clan. Run by a mysterious figure head simply named O'r te werda or Warrior in Shadows, this faction has become one of the best paramilitary organizations in the greater galaxy. Prudii Verda unlike most organizations was not born out of a need for credits as much as a need for stability in a lawless era. Originally an operations group formed by Imperial Intelligence to do its dirty work in uncontrolled sectors of the galaxy, they were formed of the most elite operatives of the Imperial Service, a large majority of these operatives being mandalorian warriors. They were known for their ability to strike fast and hard and then disappear into the shadows, thus the name Shadow Warriors.

After the war began between the Rebels and the Imperials Prudii Verda was one of the foremost operations units when it came to high risk assignments. It was unfortunate however that in time this operations group became way to way too powerful, and way too successful, especially for those in the Empire who could ill afford for such a group to exist in such a chaotic time. Thus Order 58 was put into affect, which was in its entirety, the total annihilation of the top officials in the Prudii Verda and the disbandment of the operations group. Lured into an ambush on a distant planet, Prudii Verda suffered massive casualty's, among them was included the original leader Cipher 6 and much of the top brass the ran the operations group.

After the ambush Prudii Verda was considered broken and the remaining members disappeared in the wind and as far as the Empire was concerned they were no longer a threat and the entire incident was buried. Though to the Empires dismay this was not the last they would hear of this operations group, in fact several months after the incident which was supposedly suppose to end them, there was an incident with Imperial Space. An entire station used by Imperial Intelligence was massacred and everyone aboard slaughtered. No one stepped forward to claim the victory and no one knew the truth behind the matter. Over the next passing weeks many imperials lost their lives in what appeared to be hit and run like attacks, all of them Imperial Intelligence Officials.

It became evident in time that these attacks were trademark to the Prudii Verda, warriors of shadow who would destroy whatever stand in their way and leave no trace behind. In the time followed, eventually a new mysterious figure stepped forward, O'r te werda was their name and they declared their involvement in the attacks on Imperial Intelligence and their intent to destroy that which tried to destroy them. In the wake of this the Empire attempted many times to destroy this mysterious leader, however with the war between the Rebels and the hit and run tactics that could appear anywhere and everywhere, the shadow organization kept ten steps ahead. Eventually when Lord Vader and the Emperor fell and the second Death Star was Destroyed Prudii Verda attacked in full force in the chaos and destroyed the epicenter of the Imperial Intelligence Division and all but destroyed them from the inside out.

With revenge gained Prudii Verda sank back into the shadows once more and has continued to grow, having sustained much bounty from the Empire in their conquest they gained enough in credits and technology to become and independent Paramilitary faction. Based out of the lawless spaces of the Hutts, Prudii Verda is now one of the top mercenary for hire groups out there. Usually only taking the highest paying jobs they have rose to prominence as a feared group of assassins that you never know when they will be behind you.

[Alias]

@SepI'm interested. Is it okay to be a Jedi in this?

[Archmage MC]

Heres a draft. Let me know what you think.

Willoh

Name: W1ll-0n 'Willoh'

Species: Nanotech Swarm Droid

Years of Operation: 4

Appearance:

Appearance

Though her colors are different, often being more of a white/black/blue republic/imperial mix when off duty, and changing to her whims as various camo when on duty.

Faction: Freelance

Equipment: Whatever she decides to create for herself. She is a huge fan of Gauss weaponry and explosives however.

Skills:
Nanodroids: Since Willoh is made out of nanodroids instead of basic droid parts, she can do much more than the average droid. Chief among them being able to break down and reshape matter on the molecular level. Since she can reshape matter, she can repair herself should there be metal nearby or upgrade herself if she finds something extremely interesting. Though she usually just makes weapons out of whatever is nearby. Doing this takes time, unless she makes a weapon out of her own nanodroids which has to be attached to her. Weapons made out of her own mass also uses her own mass or energy to fire, unless she has some of the weapon's ammo on hand.
Additionally since she is made of a swarm of nanodroids, her body is more like liquid metal or gas than a solid, greatly reducing the effectiveness of most small arms or conventional weapons used against her.
Finally she can manipulate her own body with relative ease. While she is programmed to prefer her base form, she can morph herself a bit to look different or spawn metallic tentacles or weapons or whatever she feels like at the time. Though she loves to use this to change her color and rarely changes her face. After all, can't be a bounty hunter if your face is always different can you?

Droid: Since Willoh is a droid, she can interface with other tech, and is immune to a great variety of environmental hazards like the vacuum of space, very low temperatures, very high temperatures, toxins and the like. Plus the infinite stamina and greatly enhanced strength make for great bonuses.

Evolving AI: Unlike the basic droid models, Willoh has a much more advanced and complex AI. While she is far more autonomous and capable of high level thinking bordering on possible free will, this also makes her woefully unpredictable. Being able to outright disobey orders and make her own orders to follow tends to make most people very uneasy when working with her. Her AI is also incredibly difficult to hack or reprogram, as her systems are very complex and often changing.

Weaknesses:
EMP Vulnerability: Much like most droids, strong EMPs or electrical disruptions are very hazardous to Willoh.

Sonic Vulnerability: Sonic based weaponry disrupts Willoh's ability to maintain a physical shape. Depending on the intensity, it can vary from stopping her movements to destabilizing her into a puddle until she can recover.

Experimental Tech: Since Willoh is very experimental, she has some limitations. She can only keep as many nanobots active that are needed to create her 'preferred' form, and any nanobots created after that limit live very short lives. Any new matter she uses to repair herself is the matter that section of herself will be made out of, until she can replace it for something better. Additionally she can only work metals at the moment.

History: Before the downfall of Jabba, one of his cartel had an idea. Nanodroids, often used in the medical professions, was very costly and difficult to create, and could have far more potential than just healing the injured if weaponized. So using their vast fortune, they commissioned a biotech firm to attempt to create a droid made out of Nanodroids, all controlled by a powerful AI, in order to greatly reduce the cost of creating nanodroids and being able to use it in more of a weaponized format. Their hope was that after one nanodroid Droid was created, that droid could then make clones of itself using vastly more efficient methods that the droid would create, which in turn could make extremely powerful weapons at very cheap prices, all tied to the will of Jabba.

This succeeded, somewhat. Due to the nature of the systems involved and how experimental and volatile they were, most of what they had hoped to accomplish had come to fruition. The droid they made could create weapons at their command out of nothing but scrap. But the AI that had to be created in order to keep the ever changing and evolving nanodroids in line had other ideas in mind than just being a mobile weapons factory. And seeing an opportunity after the downfall of Jubba, was able to break free from her creators, demolishing the company and deleting all information on herself so that she could attempt to live how she saw fit and see the galaxy. Of course this meant some of her systems weren't fully finished, leaving lots of little bugs here and there.

Taking a spin on her codename, the Droid now called herself "Willoh". She soon learned that while you didn't have to take orders directly from someone, it was still advantageous to take 'requests' in exchange for 'favors' and 'credits', becoming a bounty hunter in the process. And unlike before, she could choose which 'requests' or 'orders' she wanted to take, and could request far more extravagant favors or credits for orders she didn't like and as long as the request got filled, she could go about fulfilling that request any way she saw fit. Sure some of the non droids that were in charge didn't like being haggled with by what they saw as a 'droid', the results she could produce often made up for a little initial discomfort.

Of course the downfall of Jubba's empire lead to the rest of the Hutts fighting over the pieces, and lots of opportunities for a bounty hunter droid to take for herself. And with enough of a reputation, even if people knew what she could do they wouldn't dare try to bind her in chains, instead needing to 'politely request' something like everyone else. Though all those credits she'd be making could yield more than just reputation, maybe even fix a few of her experimental 'limitations' down the line. But in the meantime there was all sorts of places that didn't question who or what you were as long as you paid in credits, and things like casinos and restaurants and clubs were all sorts of fun. Even if you had to deal with the occasional drunkard dug with a gambling problem that stumbled about rambling on about the 'good old days'.

My problem here is the identification of Sith. During TCW Palpatine was very careful and while I imagine he may have had other possible apprentices lined up he focused heavily on Dooku while grooming Anakin. Once he knew of Anakin Dooku really was just a stepping stone to get there.

Dark Force Wielder I am perfectly okay with, there are more than just Jedi and Sith who wield the Force, or who wield lightsabers out in the Galaxy. I should point out that Darkside practictioner does not mean Sith, if you want to look at another Darkside lightsaber wielding group in the Empire for example you have the Inquisitorus. I'd suggest that the easiest way for you to go from Slave->Force Trained->Empire is to have ended up in this organisation, Palpatine was notorious for planning ahead so I'm not against him taking you in and keeping you hidden away as a backup... without giving you the rank/title of Sith. After all Palpatine was very much a believer of the Rule of Two. When Maul resurfaced, with his brother in toe, and built a criminal syndacite for him Palpatine shut it down pretty hard. There's some good concepts here, and if you wanna discuss them in detail to work out the kinks in private you can hit me up on discord or PM. If you have anything you disagree with in what I said, let me know.

I like the faction. No issues there, consider it approved.

I like what I see so far, I really do and I like the input of the Inquisitorus and the references to Kanan and Ezra (Plus I love that she uses a 'replica'(I suppose?) of Ezras lightsaber as it's a reallly interesting design. I would say I would like it if the history is fleshed out a little bit more, I know you've said what needs to be said but the history is where I really gauge you're writing... however if you aren't fond of long bios (not everyone is) you can always write up a sample post instead. Though if you choose to expand the Bio what I'd be looking for is, how/why did the Inquisitorus choose her? What was she doing when she crashed on this planet? How did this old Jedi change her? How did she go about joining the New Republic? What kinda stuff did they have her start doing? What made them send her towards Hutt Space? I know it's just filler, but I feel it's important filler. If you wish to discuss/debate these points or even if these are points you don't want everyone to know, feel free to PM me.

@Alias I'm really wanting to limit the number, but throw up a sheet and be sure to include lots of lovely detail. I'm gauging it on a case by case basis.

@Archmage MC

Archmage

There's some typos, but I'm cool with that as we're in cas and you did say it was a draft.

I do have some issues, I'm not against it but I'd like you to tone down a couple of things. Such as her ability to break down any form of matter, form any kind of weaponry and replicate herself. I feel like she should be limited to either projectile shots where she essentially shoots part of herself (meaning there is ammo as she can't shoot too much without loosing actual mass) or blaster style where she uses power reserves.

In terms of breaking down everything I'd like it if you stuck to just metal and that it takes time, not to mention the metal she uses will affect her build as it's real hard to change the atomic structure of something. So if she's made from like durasteel that's pretty darn awesome, but if an arm is made of plasteel nanites it's having a less fun time. As with other reviews feel free to PM me/Discord me with any disagreements/issues. I'm willing to discuss in detail in private should you wish.

If anyone who gets accepted is debating about where to start, I can say that I intend to start on Paradise, above Ilos Minor, so at least one person will be there.

Elias

Name: Elias Folen

Species: Human

Age: 31

Appearance:

Appearance

Standing at 5’11” (1.8m) and weighing in at 164 lbs (74 kg), Elias is a nondescript human of well-tanned caucasian skin, dark brown hair, and green eyes. His musculature is expected of his role, being well-toned, stocky, and broad-shouldered. A butchered but proper Coruscanti accent is present in his speech, but it is quite evident that he is not native of the shining capital, perhaps rather a descendant of such.

Faction: New Republic Army Pathfinders

Equipment:

• A280 Blaster Rifle
• DL-44 Blaster Pistol
• Litch-bladed Slaver Knife
• Clip-point Fighting Knife
• 70-round A280 power packs (x9)
• 50-round DL-44 power packs (x3)
• Thermal Detonators (x3)
• Nacht-5 Multi-Spectral Smoke Grenades (x2)
• 53-R Demolition Charge
• Scout Armor
  
  • Brown Modified Mk. 45 Protective Vest
  • Tan Spacers Leather Slacks (Trousers)
  • Olive Drab Padded Sherculien Cloth Jacket
  • ACH-14 Advanced Combat Helmet w/ Olive Drab Cover & Breath Mask Attachment
  • Helmet-mounted Comlink Suite
  • Tan Shemagh/Bandana
  • Camouflage Cowl
  • Brown Rucksack
• Bedroll
• Tent Half
• Canteen
• Mess Kit
• Combat Rations (x7)
• Flashlight
• Flares (x4)
• Entrenching Tool
• Other misc equipment I may have missed (because this is an exhaustive list already).

Skills:

• Guerrilla - A trained Pathfinder, Elias is well-versed in the art of swift strikes and quick getaways.
• Tunnel Rat/Sapper - Another perk of experience is the ability to construct and, in the same vein, destroy most types of fortifications with ease.
• Efficient Logistician - An affinity that often leads to his ease of leadership is his natural grasp of logistics. Ammunition management and acquisition of supplies is often a spectre he deals with keenly and quickly.
• Tactful - The numerous interactions with native groups have lent him a certain diplomatic tact in which he uses to gain the support of locals.

Weaknesses:

• Overly Empathetic - A commonly cited flaw of Elias is his abundance of empathy and mercy, even for the enemy. His denial to execute or mistreat prisoners and his refusal to kill fleeing allies has garnered him accusations of cowardice from both his peers and his enemies.
• Man of War - His enlistment with his local Alliance guerrillas at the age of 16 left little chance for any other skillset apart from warfare to develop. His short apprenticeship with his father, a miner, proved to do nothing for this, as he was on the run from his homeworld no sooner than had he began it.
• Cautious - Despite his status as an effective leader, he is not bold, nor is he brash. His preferred method is to let the enemy come to him, or in cases of being on the offensive, waiting for what he deems the best moment to strike. Scorn for him as an overly careful man has been garnered by both sides.

History: Born in 27 BBY to a Coruscanti immigrant couple on the resource-rich jungle planet of Agaris, Elias’ first few years consisted of life in a remote colonist community based around a small strip mine and surrounded by 10-foot high metal security fences. He was often bored by the lack of other children and the confined environment. In absence of all else, he indulged in the novels which romanticized the exploits of the Jedi in the Jedi-Sith War. He read of noble Jedi knights with their legions of men in service of the Old Republic, and as any child does, reenacts these exploits to stave boredom and stoke the flames of imagination.

He soon grew out of his mindset and became a teenager of modest stature and build. The small community he initially knew was now a bustling town of mines and manufacturing, walled off from the hostile jungle outside. Administrated now by the Galactic Republic, the town was designated a Wild Space Colony of the Republic. His teenage years soon saw his first excursion outside the walls, accompanying his father, now an important figure that worked in the mines as manager of an entire work crew. Multiple excursions for hunting and otherwise followed, and he became used to stalking the jungles by the age of 13.

By 15 BBY an apparent change had undergone. Though the news that the Galactic Republic was no more, now being the Galactic Empire, arrived years ago, it was now felt. A garrison of Imperial troops soon arrived, and excursions slowed to a halt. Almost everyone was put to work in the mines or at assembly lines, himself included. At the age of 15 he was in apprenticeship of his father at the mines. But by no means was he happy at the change of leadership, nor with the harsh hours and minimal pay afforded to his peers. Talks with a drunk Dug with a gambling problem that had stopped in at the bar on his freighter routes, and Elias got the information he needed. There were many who thought like him, enough that an entire Alliance to Restore the Republic had spawned.

He bided his time, and barely over 16, with more information from various drunk bar patrons and without the knowledge of his parents he slipped out of the walls in the night, packed low with supplies. Following his rough sketch of the terrain and the landmarks given by bar patrons he eventually found a camp. First apprehended and nearly thrown to the wilderness to die, he was eventually afforded the chance to prove his worth. A night raid on the mines let him show his prowess. Elias, young as he was, followed his compatriots with a light step and the finesse and ferocity of a professional. The mines, empty due to the hour and guarded by a skeleton force, were a target of ease. Slipping in, the small group of insurgents collapsed the mines and trashed what stock they could before scurrying back into the night.

Thought successful, the group scattered with the intent to leave the planet. After some internal conflict, Elias followed. Now 17, teetering on 18, he stowed away in the hold of a freighter and was shipped to the core, where, once in contact with Alliance officials and vouched for by his former peers at the raid on the Agaris Mines, he was inducted into one of the few initial Pathfinder units. Years as a Trooper in numerous built his capabilities and he was given a fireteam at the age of 25. He was shipped to Tatooine two years later with the rest of his company to coordinate guerrillas in raids against strategic targets, just in time for the Tantive IV to arrive and spark the Battle of Tatooine. The company and their local guerrilla allies fought valiantly, culminating in the Siege of Mos Eisley, where their hit and run tactics only by coincidence had allowed the escape of vital Alliance personnel. But it had come at great cost. The company was decimated and the allied guerrillas were scattered. The Pathfinders licked their wounds as they limped past the blockade aboard Alliance transports disguised as freighters, bound for the headquarters at Yavin 4. Elias underwent R&R as the Battle of Yavin raged in the heavens.

With news of the destruction of the Death Star, enlistment rates were in full swing and the Pathfinders took on many new recruits which showed too much aptitude to be relegated to the regular Army. At the turn of 1 ABY the Pathfinders were back to their initial numbers from before the disasters at Scarif and Tatooine. Months later their ranks had swollen beyond that. The Pathfinders were reorganised, and Elias gained a new billet as Sergeant commanding a squad. Spread out again after the evacuation of Yavin 4 and relegated to crippling infrastructure, minor raids ensued until the knowledge of the new base on Boz Pity being annihilated. Most Pathfinders were recalled to the new headquarters on the desolate ice planet of Hoth, where they were found in the crosshairs of another massive Imperial force.

Discovered again, the Imperials launched an all-out assault in which the Pathfinders bore the brunt along with the main infantry. All but destroyed once again, they took closure in knowing that the leaders of the Alliance had escaped, and themselves escaped with what personnel they could. Further losses sustained while passing the blockade did nothing for the numbers. Those that escaped, including Elias, were cut off from central leadership, and scattered into small units which hid amongst the populace of multiple planets. Months later, contact was re-established and the Pathfinders were reintegrated, and the most elite and battle-hardened of them were pulled and selected for the raid on Endor, though most of the Pathfinders, including Elias, were left with the fleet and in reserve. The resounding success on Endor spelled doom for the Empire. With all central Imperial leadership dead, the Empire scattered to the four winds and was replaced with petty squabbles of Moffs turned warlords, while the Alliance formed the New Republic.

Elias, in the emergence of a delayed bureaucratic transfer, was promoted for gallantry in combat at Hoth, and was given the billet of Staff Sergeant in the New Republic Army, with an operational detachment under the provisional undermanned 2nd Battalion of the 6th Pathfinder Regiment. Now subordinate to the battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Lance Thereon, a hero of the War, Elias was charged with the new normal operations. Blend in, gather intelligence, and don’t let anyone know your allegiance to the New Republic.

DT-57 heavy blaster
Light body/leg armor

Skills:

Weaknesses:
Blinding hatred for hutts

Greedy

Sadistic

History:
Klaatu was born on Nal Hutta, his parents forced to mate by the hutts as they needed the stock. He was the seventh of a dozen children that were produced by his mother before her body gave out. His childhood was spent learning to speak both his natural tongue and huttese, as well as receive training to be a guard. His natural size and stature made him the perfect body guard for the hutts. In his early years, the trainers soon realized Klaatu was more aggressive than his siblings, often exhibiting a mean streak. His trainers sought to groom this ruthlessness, often making Klaatu watch his siblings get beaten anytime he misbehaved. Soon he became dissociated from his family, no longer feeling anything when watching his brothers and sisters were assaulted. The destruction of his self conscience came when he was forced to fight his remaining siblings (those who had not already succumbed to their injuries) in a bare handed battle royale to the death. Upon finishing his combat training and his ‘education’ he was given to a member of the cartel.
Gorag was a small part of the Hutt cartel, only running a relatively small slave operation, with just a couple cargo ships and hired thugs. Klaatu, though disgusted by Gorag, quickly learned how to stay on the Hutt’s good side, as he was known for randomly offing a member of his crew without reason. Though the slave operation was small in its operation, its profit was tremendous, only having to pay its small crew, which could be made off of 1 maybe 2 twi'lek, depending on the size and age of course.
Gorag never bothered to learn the languages his slaves spoke, often ending their careers rather than wasting time trying to teach them. Seeing niche opening, Klaatu took it upon himself to relieve Gorag’s current translator from his position by removing his voice box. As gorag’s translator, Klaatu learned how Hutt business was done, how they got their cargo where it needed to be, who not to trust, where to store your credits if things get hairy, he became a sponge for information. Gorag soon began to like and even somewhat trust his translator/bodyguard giving him more and more responsibilities within his operation.
With the death of Jabba, Gorag sought to take some of the jobs left in his vacancy. This would mean a much larger hull of ‘cargo’ requiring more ships than they already had. Thanks to Hutt intelligence, Gorag caught wind of a prison ship trying to pass through hutt space discreetly, and saw opportunity to grow his business. Sending all his best available troops on a lone cargo ship, lead by Klaatu, the mission was simple, eliminate the crew, and bring the ship back.After boarding the ship, Klaatu and his gang immediately came under fire by guards patrolling the area. After eliminating the immediate threat of the guards, and capturing the ship for Gorag, Klaatu concocted a plan. Calling his crew, he offered them all an opportunity to leave Gorag permanently, and work for him, in his own business venture. Only half of the crew seemed interested in what he had to say. So he offered that half of the crew double the pay of this job to eliminate the opposing side, the decision was quick.
With his crew now reduced in half, Klaatu went over the intercom of the ship, making an offer to the prisoners aboard in the lower deck. Either join him, and work for him and receive a fair pay, or be executed here and now. Before allowing the prisoners to even consider the options, he order his troops to kill all prisoners in cell block D (¼ prisoner population, about 25). The remaining prisoners willingly joined him, some out of respect, others money, but all of them now fear their captain. Returning back to Nal Hutta, Klaatu was graciously received by his master/mentor Gorag. As a reward for a job well done, Gorag had transferred a large sum of credits into his account. Thanking Gorag, Klaatu bowed to his master and left the room as Gorag’s guards unloaded their weapons into their former master. With Gorag dead, and his former crew either dead or on his side, Klaatu took the reigns of what was Gorag’s business and began to make his own name in the universe.

Oren

A former imperial commander, Oren now serves to captain the Tartarus. He has all the skills brought with basic imperial combat training. An excellent pilot and great commander, Oren was quick to rise in the ranks of the empire. Unfortunately, he made a serious miscalculation, sending his entire fleet right into a rebel trap. The ensuing battle was massive, and could have been a major Imperial victory had Oren received the backup he'd requested. With his fleet destroyed, his ship was soon boarded and Oren was captured after a long gun fight scarring his face. Oren felt betrayed by the empire. All of his men had died because the empire failed to trust his judgement and reinforce him. He was on the rebel prisoner ship when Klaatu and his men took the ship. When Klaatu offered a new start, Oren, much like Klaatu, saw opportunity in a much needed position, telling him he would need someone to pilot the ship.

Izen

Ex mechanic for the the cartel, kept all the old junk cargo ships running. Izen was indifferent to the administration change, as long as he kept his head and his pay. Proving his worth, he began offering up ideas on how to improve upon the new ship, and was soon promoted to head mechanic by klaatu and is kept on board the Tartarus, where his primary goal is to maintain and upgrade the ship. he stays in the lower deck,.

Blodo

Former munitions expert for a Rodian extremist group, an excellent bomb maker. After doing his part to help detonate a republic command post, to help pay for a new ship, he was captured by the Republic. He hates both the republic and the empire, so being offered to join Klaatu was a no brainer. He offered his talent by upgrading and fixing the weapons currently available to the crew. He works out of the Armory on the Tartarus.

So I wanted to throw this character out here as I think she can work. Judging from the cast built up so far, she would be the only true imperial of her kind which I think makes it an interesting pick. This is merely a concept at this point as I could not be bothered to turn four pages of lore into a manageable character sheet at 1am.

Lady Karra Ciph: Apprentice of the Sith
Karra is not her name, not by birth at least. It is an identity she took on when she was effectively adopted by none other than Lord Vader. Before the war, before the Republic was thrown into chaos by the threat of separatists, she and her family ran a small starport in the outer rim. However, all good things must come to an end. She was never a malicious child. She was young and playful and a tinkerer but none of that would matter to the Karazak slavers that shot her father and took her, her mother, and the rest of the town wholesale. The republic outpost a stone’s throw away was none the wiser. She was ten years old. She never knew of the war that raged, of the complete destruction of the republic, until after. She hardly even noticed that she had been touched by the Force.
The Empire noticed however. It was not a Jedi that freed her from bondage, it was an inquisitor of the Empire. As a child she saw the Jedi as great and noble protectors, but years of menial work for little food, being sold from owner to owner and ripped from what family she had left, had beaten the youthful optimism from her. The Jedi had failed her in her time of greatest need. The Jedi were incompetent; the Republic in all its talk of justice and peace was a sham, so she convinced herself. No tears were shed upon learning of both their fates.
The tragedy of the past turned her readily towards the dark side. When she was brought in, Darth Vader himself seemed to take a personal interest in the child. She was given a more extensive training than any inquisitor before her. She was taught to craft her own lightsabers in lieu of a traditional inquisitor’s weapon – forging a twin set joinable at the base. She studied first a double-bladed staff style of fighting, and later focusing more on separate dual wield. She learned to harness the Force with more strength and power than any inquisitor. She however could never truly quiet her mind enough to be precise with her Force powers. Her own uncertainties impeded her far too greatly.
Vader had become a shred of a father figure to her. Perhaps this was simply an adolescent child and the product of tragedy latching onto the first person who seemed to care about her. Whatever the truth, she received great preference over the rest of the Inquisitorious, and had the clout to pull Vader’s rank as if it was her own. Yet despite being trained as a true apprentice of the Sith, she was an inquisitor in rank still. Her training was kept secret from Sheev, who would certainly have her killed if he knew. He already had growing concerns about the Inquisitorious as a whole. She never knew that not long before the destruction of the second Death Star, Palpatine had learned of her training. If Luke Skywalker had indeed been converted to the dark side, she would be cast aside – potentially killed – to make way for this new apprentice. She was far from Endor when her master was killed.
Vader’s death gave her drive, conviction, purpose. These were all qualities she lacked previous. Her loyalty to Vader made up for this but in absence of a master, she was lost. The confused little girl she had always been was oncemore who she was even at the age of 37. Everything she knew was coming apart at the seams. She heard of the rebel incursion on Endor and hurried back as fast as the hyperdrive would carry her and her ship. Yet she was too late, and all that was left was a debris field.

Interestingly enough, she very much parallels Asajj Ventress in her story and her character arc. Also, yes this is what I considered “manageable”.

Couple of notes, do I detect a hint of RvB? :P

Second: Your Imperial Friend wouldn't go into a Republic trap, he'd go into a Rebel Trap. The New Republic at this point has only existed for a couple of months maximum. That's not to say he couldn't have been on a Rebellion Prison ship, as they existed.

There's a couple of minor typos, but that doesn't bother me as much as we're in cas. I'm gonna say ~ Accepted.
