Star Wars - Galaxies at War[MULTIVERSE SPACESHIP RP]

[Sep]

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

The Republic has fallen. The Jedi Order has been destroyed in the wake of Order 66. Through all of this, a mysterious figure appeared looming over his shoulder. A man in dark robes, a faceless veil. New technologies unveiled faster more powerful ships with shields unlike any the Galaxy has ever seen. As Clone Troopers are phased out to the new Stormtrooper more and more take on black armour that seems to be impervious to all attack. The Empires grip on the Galaxy is absolute, there appears to be no hope for those wishing for freedom.

That is until all throughout the Multiverse a power unknown to beings of the lesser planes decides that it can no longer stand by while this untold power threatens the very balance of all things. A blinding flash of light and a myriad of vessels from different universe appear stranded in deep space.

OOC Bit:

A Battlestar, Goa'uld Ha'tak, Paris-Class Frigate, Milano and a Cross-field Class wander into a bar...

Basically, this Roleplay will be a Story set in the Star Wars Universe, with some key differences. A mysterious figure is working with Palpatine, giving him access to technologies and information that he didn't have in the normal continuity. This increase in power changes the rise of the Empire from a gradual struggling with remaining Separatist Cells to a sure-fire win. Rather than the political wrangling, Palpatine expected, with access to this new technology his grip on the galaxy is absolute.

Depending on the size of the group we'll all start in the same area of space, will we fight, will we band together, will we flee? There's only one way to find out! There's not much more I need to say.

Other than it's going to be pretty Sandbox, you can go where you want in the Galaxy. Be warned, however, whatever cosmic force brought us to the Star Wars galaxy seems unwilling to let us go until whatever issue it sensed is resolved.

Questions?

[Mao Mao]

Why the hell not. I am interested as the Normandy or the Milano.

[webboysurf]

Either interested in the Milano or Serenity.

[Assallya]

I'm highly interested in a Goa'uld. However, I'm struggling to find a way for one to work nicely with the others.

Alternatively, I could offer up a Nebula Class Frigate from Star Trek.

@Assallya

Tok'ra, free Jaffa? If you want a Ha'tak.

[mattmanganon]

No invitation? I'm hurt.

[Assallya]

As much as I want to portray a narcissistic sociopathic dictator I think the Nebula is better.

The Relentless Endeavour, from a fan-fic I was writing and lost when my PC died, is perfect for this stuff.

The Endeavour was travelling towards the Dominion War's frontline with a cargo pod of supplies when it was assailed by several Dominion craft. Desperate, the Captain plotted a slingshot around a black hole which propelled them beyond time and space. He saved the ship but not before a suicidal Dominion ship struck the bridge with it's lower pylon.

Beaten, bowed and broken, leaking drive plasma, the Endeavour lands in the Star Wars universe with most of the command crew dead and most systems down. They have no way home. Sensors were down during the transition and there's no way to recreate the phenomenon, nor know what course to set if they did.

@Assallya You really like the name Relentless Endeavour.@mattmanganon I mean I didn't technically invite anyone. I'll give it another day to see what happens, but in all honesty small group would work for me.

This looks interesting. I do have a question regarding ships. Do they have to be famous or well known ones, or can we make up our own? And exactly what ships from what universes are and are not allowed? I assume city ships like Atlantis from Stargate are not allowed, nor are the Reapers from Mass Effect, but I'd just like a good idea should I decide to toss my hat into this ring.

@ZAVAZggg

I'll have a power chart done for the OOC. Cause obviously some properties are more advanced or powerful so you don't want people going OP. In terms of famous ships nope, so long as it fits its origin universe, which can be any franchise with spaceships, so using Stargate for an example you could go a BC-304 that wasn't necessarily constructed by the time the shows ended.

In a game similar years ago I played the Battlestar Columbia from the first cylon war. This help?

[Spambot]

Mothership from Starcraft?

Though came into my head on a whim, either way, I'm gone for 4 days or so - just figured I'd put out a suggestion and come back to see if it's viable.

[Assallya]

Power level is even an issue inside any particular series or show. In Star Trek, the most powerful technology and ships are in the original series. Every additional series they lower the technology level regardless of timeline. In Star Wars Blaster Tech and other small arms were more powerful in the prequels.

Macross/Robotech is pure ridiculous compared to most. A single Valkyrie can outfight tie fighters or colonial vipers ten or even twenty to one.
Yet, we still made it work in the past by choosing a lesser carrier from the franchise with fewer fighters and no "macross gun".

The one I would argue would just not be acceptable would be a Glorious Heritage class vessel from Andromeda. Those things use more realistic technology, involving relativistic weapons and bombs that can annihilate entire solar systems. (Yes... 40 of these suckers!)

Key concept though is we'll try and make it work.

@sepI hadn't realized I'd stolen my Star Trek fan fic name for that Uraga Class Carrier. Now that I think about it. I was trying for a better name but flubbed. The name rather fit the captain but not the ship's purpose as a special forces, preemptive strike platform.

[Mataus]

Super cool! I'll probably bring something from the Halo universe.

@Sep

Yes, thank you.

Edit: I'll also assume any Type 90 and above War TARDI are off limits as well due to their insane weaponry.

[Assallya]

*lol *

They wouldn't let me use a Type 40! The Prince, the sanctimonious, pretentious Time Lord I had in mind wouldn't have even used his.

Though... Technically, according to the "science" there's no difference between a Type 40 and the Type 90. The Type 40 can materialize via the Tree of Life everything it needs to become a type 90. If it needs more power a TARDIS can just materialize around another star and add it's mass to it's own Eye of Harmony.

Nobody, not the fans, nor the writers, seem to realize how broken TARDIS are.

@Assallya

Oh, they broken af. Why I'm amazed the Time Lords couldn't defeat the Daleks.

But if those aren't allowed, I'll probably go with a Kryptonian Gunship or a Lantean Aurora Class Battleship.

[Assallya]

That's the horrible thing about a time war. It's a perpetual do-over. The Time-Lords go back in time and plant a new civilization to aid them in the war. They kick buttocks as a result so the Daleks go back and kill that civilization before they can provide help which brings back all the Daleks that had been killed by the new race.

Then you bring into play Paradox machines and it just gets worse.

Do that over and over, particularly with fixed points, and you rip apart reality allowing the Cthulian horrors of Outwr-Time to breach into this universe.

@Assallya

Oof. True. I forgot about all that. Also, I'm just waiting for someone to enter this with a Forerunner ship of some kind. As a matter of fact, I'm surprised no one has done that so far.

[Mataus]

There's not a lot of information about specific Forerunner ship classes, even having read the books and been through the guides. You'd have to make some stuff up if you were to RP a Forerunner vessel. Could easily be done though, you'd just have to be careful about estimating everything.

[Sep]

Good to see discussion. I'm going to go to sleep though as I've had a hectic day. I think we've got a good looking solid core group, which is all you really need in this kinda thing to get the ball rolling.

Watch this space.
