[OOC] Star Wars - Lawless Galaxy

[POOHEAD189]

Yeah, that's what I was going by with Zarkun's meaning. But if you still believe I should edit, I can.

[EliteCommander]

Just clarifying. Elias is, indeed, doing something productive.

[POOHEAD189]

I'll take that as a 'please edit' so I added a bit. :)

[EliteCommander]

You didn't need to if you didn't want to.

[POOHEAD189]

Nah it was cool. I needed to make it longer anyway since I didn't have much to write.

Edited post.

[Letter Bee]

Name: Leonard L. Scipio.

Species: Human

Age: 24.

Appearance:


Faction: Scipio Industries and Finance, (Subgroup of the Corporate Sector Authority)

Equipment: A Personal Energy Shield, a Vibroblade with Cortosis Alloy, an Electro-Whip, and a Blaster. He also has an injector that contains a form of Spice that allows him to see Blaster Bolts coming and move fast enough to parry them.

Skills:

Combat: Leonard L. Scipio is a close-range fighter first and foremost, despite his blaster. Trained in the art of bladed and unarmed combat, Scipio fights like a Dark Jedi without actually accessing the Force. This is because of his access to a potent form of Spice that, as mentioned, increases his sight and reflexes to the level of a Force-wielder.

Non-Combat: Leonard L. Scipio is a weapons designer, financier, economist, and strategist who is good at seeking ways to profit from a situation, as well as manipulating accounts in order to control the flow of cash to and from people, places, and organizations. He also knows Droidspeak.

Weaknesses:

Spice Addiction: Leonard L. Scipio is addicted to the special form of Spice that he uses, to the point where after 24 hours, he will begin suffering convulsions, vertigo, sudden cravings, and other withdrawal symptoms if not given his special Spice. Said spice also reduces his cognitive and reasoning abilities when he takes them, forcing him to rely on instinct.

Gambler: Leonard L. Scipio is someone who takes insane risks for instant profits. He is willing to play double games with both the New Republic and Empire, or even try and bribe Believer cells away from Cinder and Cipher if it will give him the slightest chance at achieving a dominant position.

Arrogance: He thinks he is the next Thrawn. He is not; enough said.

History: Leonard L. Scipio's parents were ex-members of the Intergalactic Banking Clan who, despite being part of the Pro-Galactic Republic faction, were forced to flee to the Corporate Sector anyway when the Galactic Empire was established.

Pursued by the Empire, which was already starting to encroach on the autonomous worlds of the region, Scipio's parents retained vast riches, riches that they used to encourage the efforts of the various star systems in the area to form a unified entity; the Corporate Sector Authority. And thus, Leonard was born to wealth, privilege, and high status; his parents were now safe, and seemed to successfully rebuild their lives.

From an early age, Leonard was trained under the finest tutors, who saw in the young man a quick and sharp mind of high intelligence, but also coldness, cruelty, and greed. There was no attempt made to fix this, as some of those qualities were desired in the Corporate Sector.

At age thirteen, Leonard designed a new tank, the Leonard-class Assault tank, showing his talent to his parents. Said parents, now the owners of a major Bank dedicated to 'fostering innovation and progress', were delighted, and in an unusual gift, gave Leonard the seed capital to form his own Corporation. Predictably, he went into arms manufacturing, making and selling not just his tanks, but also new and improved buzz droids, diamond-boron torpedoes, and mobile shield generators. But as he grew older, Leonard realized he wanted more; to test his creativity beyond robotics. And so, against his parents' wishes, he made contact with some of the remaining cloners of Kamino and offered them a new facility in Corporate Sector space. He was sixteen then.

Only one Kaminoan accepted Leonard's offer, not enough for building even the smallest cloning chamber. But this Kaminoan, Pau Je, taught him much about biology and how genetic engineering can make soldiers and officers much better than droids can ever be. Entranced by her teachings, Leonard began to entertain notions about creating an army of his own, combining the best traits of the Galactic Republic and Separatist technology and battle doctrine. His parents may have objected, but before they can speak up, they had a convenient 'speeder accident'; killing them and giving Leonard full control of their bank and the colossal amount of credits within.

A rapid rise to power followed, during which Leonard made partnerships and acquisitions; the former were betrayed when they became too inconvenient, the latter taken with such force that people soon began whispering that perhaps Leonard was becoming too powerful too quickly.

But Leonard only cared enough to plan contingencies for his escape. With as much secrecy as he can muster, the young man, now 20, bought a Venator-class Star destroyer that was retrofitted into a factory/mining ship and loaded it with luxury living quarters and a huge amount of treasure and armaments. He also began setting up shell corporations in Hutt Space at the other end of the Galaxy and tried to gain the favor of the various members of the Hutt Clan. He even managed to acquire a new form of Spice from them that allowed him to equal a Force User's reflexes despite not being able to access the Force himself...

And so, when the other vested interests of the Corporate Sector Authority moved against him, Leonard fled to this ship, activated the Hyperdrive, and sailed off to Hutt Space. There, still flush with credits, he would set up a new branch of Scipio Industries and Finance, ready to do business with the next batch of potential pawns. There were plenty of them; the New Republic, the Imperial Remnant, and even the Believers.

He was going to have fun, and one of the first things he did was send out his minions to capture a Drunk Dug with a gambling problem to torture to death for his amusement...

Faction Logo(If applicable):


Faction Name: Scipio Industries and Finance.

Faction Classification: Independent Warlord masquerading as a Corporation and Bank.

Faction Leader: Leonard L. Scipio.

Faction Members(Players):

Important NPCs:

Pau Je

A Kaminoan Cloner who highly resented the Imperial takeover and shutdown of Kamino's cloning facilities, Pau Je is normally cold and calculating, but burns with a need for vengance against the Empire that had taken his way of life away from him. A skilled practitioner of the art, Pau Je wishes to find new warriors to extract DNA from and create a new Clone Army that would burn the Empire's worlds and make them pay for their treachery. To this end, he has began forming a database of potential candidates for the template of this 'New Army'.

Rule Findos

A former Trade Federation engineer, Rule shares a hatred of the Empire with Pau Je, but is more interested in profit than pursuing his vengance. A master logistician, Rule makes sure that his employer does not have to do everything alone, and in response, is one of the few people to be trusted with the deeper financial and military secrets of Leonard's remaining holdings.

Raj Vizla

A former member of Death Watch, Raj Vizla is a bounty hunter and fighter hired by Leonard L. Scipio as his bodyguard long ago, in exchange for being the provisional template of Pau Je's future Clone Armies. Despite this, Raj maintains both a desire to be the next Jango Fett and several insecurities as to whether he is suited for the part. These insecurities are covered up by brutal and cruel behavior, which in turn is encouraged by his employer.

Faction Assets: (Ships, strongholds, manpower, credits, access to weaponry. Last three can be rough estimates)

The Gamechanger - A Venator-class Star Destroyer that was retrofitted to serve as a factory ship, the Gamechanger now serves as Leonard L. Scipio's home and the centre of his operations. Thanks to Leonard's money, the ship is brimming with weaponry both common and special; lasers, ion cannons, torpedoes, and turbolasers. Not merely that, but it can use tractor beams to attract small asteroids, pieces of scrap metal, or even enemy starfighters and small craft into its depths; living pilots are taken for interrogation while droids and vehicles are melted down to create new ground troops and starfighters once the battle is over - it cannot use its armament and forges at the same time.

L/AAT Shuttlesx6 - Imperial Transports bought and smuggled to the Corporate Sector before Leonard's exile.

Seperatist Troop Transport - An old Seperatist troop transport modernized with new armor and shields.

Ground Assets: 100,000 Battle Droids, 1000 Droidekas, 2000 Mercenaries and Bounty Hunters, 20 Leonard-class Assault Tank (named after himself but using a Star Wars Legends Template), 400 other war machines made up of 'modernized' versions of Galactic Republic and Seperatist Technology.

Credits: A huge amount, stored in digital accounts and shell corporations, to rival a Moff.

Access to Weaponry: The Lastrefuge can manufacture weapons.

Faction History: Scipio Industries and Finance has been turned out of the Corporate Sector and forced into the opposite side of the Galaxy, but now plans to use its remaining assets, not limited to huge amounts of credits, to turn the current conflict to their advantage...

[Letter Bee]

Things I am prepared to change about Leonard and his faction:

- The armament of Gamechanger; we can just have it be without weapons or have only a few lasers.
- The ability of Gamechanger to use tractor beams to draw in solid matter to melt down and use to manufacture new droids/equipment.
- The number of droids/clones.
- The reduction of Droideka Mk. IIs and Leonard-class assault tanks to a handful of units (100 - 200) or even editing it so that they never made it past the design stage; they can be made in RP.
- Leonard's possession of a special Spice that allows him Jedi-level reflexes and sight (which in hindsight is patently ridiculous, even if it did appear in Legends).

What I want to keep:

- Huge amounts of credits.
- The designs for the Droideka Mk.II and the Assault Tank.
- Some factory capability for Gamechanger.
- Some cloning chambers and Kaminoan expertise.

Jason Je'and

Name: Jason Je’and
Species: Human-Coruscant Native
Age: 56
Appearance:

Armored

Without helmet

Faction: Republic Remnant
Equipment:

Assault Cannon

The assault cannon was issued to the Supreme Commander during his days as a SWAT officer for the security force before the Clone Wars. During the wars, it served him well, gunning down more then its fair share of droids and Separatists alike before being shelved once more for the role of leader.

Vibroknife

The vibroknife is a standard issue weapon for all military members that weren’t a Jedi. He keeps it good and sharp for when it does get used.

R-30017 Aikion Blaster

The R-30017 is a specialized blaster pistol that works well for quick draws that require little to no aiming. It’s also the only other weapon besides his Vibroknife Jason always carries.

Skills:

• Combat Training-Between his training as a SWAT officer and his training as a naval officer, this man knows where, when, and how to put a blaster someplace it’ll be effective. He also has hand to hand training due to his SWAT training.
• Tactician-Between SWAT assignments and his position as both an Admiral of the 6th Republic Fleet and the impromptu commander of the 237th Clone Legion, tactics and strategy come naturally for him, though he is fully aware that no plan survives contact with the enemy.

Weaknesses:

• Age-For all his skill and all his patriotism, he’s still getting up there in age, and it shows. He doesn’t move as fast as he used to nor does he react as fast.
• Desire for Justice-While many would consider his sense of betrayal a strong point, it often blinds him to a better course of action if he is pushed hard or far enough.

History:

“We should have known it was coming, Palpatine was too smooth a talker. But the war kept us distracted, from thinking too hard on just what he meant when he said something.”

Jason Je’and was born the only child to a security officer father and waitress mother in the middle levels of Coruscant. While the area certainly wasn’t the greatest place in the world, it was still better than living in the lower levels, where crime ran rampant and the security forces overwhelmed trying to control it. Both parents were kind and caring to their son, but they also taught him that there was always a time to do the hard thing.

He grew up doing little more than your average child, going to school, playing, the normal things. But he also wanted to be like his father and join Coruscant security, specifically their SWAT branch. So when he turned thirteen, he started working to do so, acing his tests, keeping his grades high and his physical and mental health in good condition. By the time he was eighteen, he was already set to enter Security’s academy where he graduated with high honors and was accepted into the Security force.

He spent two years, not counting the two years in the Academy, as a normal security officer, during which he spent time studying the SWAT manuals, learning the drills and weapons and tactics that all went into it, and even got to practice a few of them during an arrest of a Drunk Dug who had been stealing to feed his gambling problem. In his third year, he was inducted into the SWAT unit and there was were he stayed for the next three years, until the Clone Wars began. He was twenty-five when news reached the Core Worlds of the conflicts beginning and, being proud of being in the Republic, signed up to get to where he could make the most difference, as a Fleet Admiral. Another two years of training put him at graduation just after his twenty seventh birthday and in command of a fleet before the end of his twenty seventh year. He saw many battles in the next three years while serving alongside Jedi General Siyen Ronen, a Togruta Jedi Master who treated his clones like family and mourned the losses they suffered alongside them. However, during the Battle of Manaan, a Kolto rich planet, Master Siyen was slain in battle with a group of commando droids, a pair of them managing to catch the Jedi Master from behind and run him through with their vibroblades. Knowing that the fleet battle was already won thanks to an improvised explosive delivered to the engines of the Providence-class flagship, donned his militarized SWAT armor and retrieved his assault cannon.

His arrival was enough to rally the scattered clones who had been under the Jedi master’s direct command and turned the losing battle into a decisive victory for the Republic. A funeral was held in honor of the fallen Jedi General, but a new one was never assigned, leaving leadership of the 237th Clone Legion on Jason. He served as their commander until the execution of Order 66, where he left command of the Legion and joined Nama Le in the Deep Labs.

Now, he leads the Republic Remnant as the Supreme Commander, the rank formerly held by the Republic’s highest ranking military official before the demilitarization of the Republic in 1000 BBY with every intent of restoring the Republic as it was and should have been.

Republic Remnant

Faction Members(Players):
Important NPCs:

Nama Le

One of a handful of Kaminoans who were always suspicious of Nala Se upon her demands that Order 66 be added to the list of orders in the inhibitor chips, she is now the head of the Remnant’s cloning operations, having purged the inhibitor chips of the original 2500 embryos she and her fellows smuggled away and rewritten the order list. She is relentless about who oversees the clones, and many of the Clone Commanders are rarely allowed to see their younger brothers train as a result.

CC-2174 “Hammer”

Commander Hammer was one of the first Clones to finish the accelerated growth process after Nama Le fled Tipoca City with a handful of like minded fellows and roughly 2,500 embryos twenty-three years after the end of the Clone Wars. He is considered to be the toughest of all his brothers and has aided in the training of subsequent generations of Clones and those who have been recruited from off world. He leads the 302nd Clone Legion of the Republic and is a stalwart believer that if any of his brothers still serve the Imperial remnants, they can be saved. That doesn’t, however, keep him from doing what he must.

Damian Wren

Damian Wren was one of the Instructors who had aided in training the Phase Two Clones during the Clone Wars. He was a much younger Mandalorian then, having only just turned 19. A few months later, Nama Le approached him and a handful of the other Mandalorian trainers about joining them in another laboratory which would serve the same purpose, but they would be paid more, for both services and silence. Unaware that Nama Le was privy to information that had forced her hand, they all agreed. Two weeks later, midtransport to this laboratory, that the information was revealed to the trainers. When given the option to turn back, none of them did. The truth was a stain on all their honors that required rectification. After a screening process on arrival, Damian was chosen as the new DNA template for the new Clones, but he continues training new generations as they’re ready.

Faction Assets:

Ships

1 Shipcarrier-Class Deep Transport. Designed to transport ships between the Deep Labs of Harion and its surface; known as the Trawler

3 Venator-Class Star Destroyers, upgraded to modern standards; respectively the Resurgence, Jason’s flagship, Kenobi, and Fisto

6 Arquiten-Class Light Cruisers, upgraded to modern standards; respectively the Windu, Alderaan, Harbinger, Endbringer, Taris, and Eques.

1 refit Venator-Class Star Destroyer Ship repurposed as a Cloning Ship, built to modern standards; limited armament due to it’s primary role as a mobile cloning facility and medical station. Known as the Redemption.

All combat ships are equipped with a full compliment of crew and fighters, Venators and Arquitens are equipped with LAAT troop transports and the Venator-class ships are responsible for carrying the majority of the heavy mechanized units. All ships are assigned several dozen AT-RT Walkers as well.

Strongholds

The Deep Labs- A series of cloning, training, and living facilities located deep beneath the waves of Harion’s surface, this is the primary base of operations for the Republic Command as well as their primary source of clone troops. It is also a manufacturing area for their ships, mechs, tanks and weapons and armor.

80 AT-TEs, upgraded to modern standards. While lacking much of what is supposed to make the AT-AT superior, it’s superior mobility and ease of transport makes it the superior choice for the Republic Remnant.

Various other walkers and tanks that are manned by both cloned and naturally birthed personnel.

Other Assets

200 Million Republic Credits-While it is considered outdated since the rise of the Empire, there are still many places that accept it as it is essentially the same as the Imperial credit.

Numerous Clone weaponry and various sets of clone and non-clone armor.

Faction History:

“Twenty-three years ago, the Republic was betrayed from within…

Shortly after what came to be known as the Battle of Naboo, a Jedi Master known as Sifo Dyas foresaw the coming of a conflict that would ravage the galaxy and destroy the Republic that had stood for over thousands years. In an effort to prepare the Republic, a demilitarized institution since 1000 BBY, he plead with the Jedi Council to build an army. Unfortunately, they saw his methods as too aggressive and dismissed him from the Council. This did not stop him and he went to the Kaminoan cloners behind the Council’s back and commissioned a clone army from the DNA of the Mandalorian Jango Fett, who accepted without any questions or complaints, but with the requirement that one of the clones be his to raise as his son, which was agreed to.

Unfortunately, Master Sifo Dyas never saw his army come to fruition, as he was set up to be killed by Darths Sidious and Tyranus, a murder which remained unknown for years to come. With the Jedi’s death, Tyranus arranged for Order 66, a kill order that was to be given only by the Supreme Chancellor should the Jedi every betray the Republic. It was ten years later that the clone army that the Jedi Master had ordered was found by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had tracked a mysterious attacker back to Kamino. After perusing the army, Master Kenobi met the template for it, the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett.

Fett was the mysterious attacker he had been hunting for and a battle erupted on a landing platform that lead to the Clone Wars. Nala Se helped to ensure that every clone’s inhibitor chip was installed with Order 66, but the sudden need for an addition for a back up plan to deal with the Jedi, when it was a Jedi who’d placed the order, caused many of her fellow cloners great suspicion, chief among them being Nama Le. Nama Le devoted much of her spare time keeping an eye on her colleague, despite many of her fellow cloners insisting she was simply being paranoid. After a time, her vigil grew less intense, but remained. The majority of the Clone Wars saw no reason for Nama Le’s suspicion, but she maintained her vigil up until the Clone Trooper Tup was brought back to be tested for something wrong after killing one of his Jedi Generals. His companion Fives came with him to keep an eye on him and be a volunteer for mirror tests.

During the testing period, and right up to the passing of Tup, Nama Le had copies of the results sent to her, and she even received a copy of the testing of Tup’s malfunctioned inhibitor chip. Her suspicion renewed, she discreetly followed Nala Se to the communications room where she listened to her companion converse with none other than Count Dooku, who wanted to ensure the Jedi never learned of Order 66. Knowing the Jedi wouldn’t believe her, she went to those who were also suspicious of Nala Se’s motives. When she shared her discovery, outrage, anger, and fear grew in their eyes and the agreed to a secret meeting. Two days later, the group, around three dozen cloners strong, met for a private lunch and made plans. Several of them arranged for a laboratory to be built deep under the waves of a water planet in the Unknown Regions, known a Harion, while others began to have embryos set aside for “special training” while yet others recruited the trainers they felt to be the most trustworthy without sharing anything discriminating. The remainder made sure that no records remained of their planning, a process that took until the end of the war.

Nama Le made one final contact, pulling the then acting commander of the 237th Clone Legion away from his duties. Informing him of her discovery, he didn’t believe it at first until the Clone Commander of the 237th, Commander Owen, contacted him and informed him that another commander was calling for aid in dealing with a group of “Jedi traitors” in another system. Sending the clones and fleet without him, he agreed to lead the as of yet unborn legions against whatever took the place of the Republic he’d fought so hard to defend.

And so the last vestiges of the Old Republic went into hiding deep beneath Harion’s waves, where it would spend the next twenty three years preparing to make a return to known space as punish the traitors who came to form the Galactic Empire and bring Sheev Palpatine to justice for his crimes. As the years passed, the Remnant was able to keep tabs on the galaxy at large thanks to transmissions received from the surface and when news of the Rebellion reached them, many of the now mature Clones pushed to join it, to give them the definitive edge they needed to bring down the Empire before it grew too powerful. But the now Supreme Commander Jason Je’and said no. “To what end would crashing ourselves against a freshly formed galactic superpower serve? To weaken us to the point of no return? No, we will remain as we are and build our own strength as their politicians and officers grow lazy. As it stands, we are not strong enough to make a huge difference for the Rebellion.”

His final verdict given, the Remnant continued to grow and watch, waiting. During this time, recruiters under the disguise of mercenaries looking for others of like mind began to search the Outer Rim for others who wanted to fight against the Empire, but had no means to reach the Rebellion. These people were brought to Kamino and trained and armed, turned into a standard military to supplement the Clone forces that already existed. The destruction of the first Death Star allowed the Republic Remnant to begin to send out better feelers, upping their recruitment and even beginning to get a better feel for the state of the Empire.

It has since been an additional four years since the Death Star fell. The Trawler has spent that time ferrying the forces that had been building below the waves back to the surface and allowing them to head into space. With the death of Palpatine and the death of Jabba the Hutt, an opportunity has arisen to deal with the Imperial Moffs still with power in Hutt space and that cannot be missed. The traitors will pay.

Guys, sorry about this, but I will have to post for Scipio Industries and Finance tomorrow or the day after that.

[Lucian]

Well, Sep, long time no see. Also, we don't have any Sith Aspirants yet. How? May I fill this role, assuming I follow the rules?
