It has been six weeks since the Battle of Hoth, and the Rebel Alliance is weakening. Many of it's bravest pilots were lost during the evacuation and replacements are desperately needed. The Imperial war machine is churning out ships and pilots by the thousands and the fight seems hopeless.

But there are always a few. The desperate, the destitute and those with no where else to go. And there are always those who bitterly want revenge against the Empire, and are willing to put themselves in harm's way to do it.

It is with these beings that the Rebel Alliance must rebuild it's starfighter program and take the fight to the Empire. This... is Raptor Squadron.
-------
So with Star Wars: Squadrons coming out in two weeks, I thought this would be a really cool RP to do with a group. We would essentially be playing Rebel fighter pilots learning how to fly and fight.

This RP will take place between Episodes V and VI, and the players will have their pick of whatever rebel starfighters to pick from. Since this is the Disney canon, the U-wing will be included if you want it.

First a couple of quick rules.

1. Be nice to each other. Seriously.
2. GM (that's me) gets final say. If we have a disagreement, I am willing to discuss it like an adult.
3. No god-modding. You are not a Skywalker. On a similar vein, please, no Force-Sensitives.
4. The only two stipulations I have for species is that you need to pick something that can fit in a cockpit and speak basic. Other than that, go nuts.
5. Real pics or a few words are prefered for appearences. Art is fine, as long as it fits the setting.

If and new rules come to mind or are brought to my attention, I will be sure to add them. In the meantime, here is a character bio to get you guys started. I will get my character ready tomorrow, along with my first post.



Have fun, and may the Force be with you!

Name: Suga
Nicknames:
Age: 19
Sex: Female
Gender: Female
Species: Zabrak(Iridonian)
Prefered starfighter: ARC-170
Possessions of note: D-12 Heavy Blaster. A knife that doubles as a plasma cutter. Fighting gloves.
Personality: Surly, fiercely independent. Loyal, very concerned with paying perceived debts.
History: Suga grew up on Chigar IX, under empire rule for the majority of her life. As an orphan, she was coerced by her elder sister into joining an underground fighting pit, a mere shadow of the ones that once enthralled the planet.

She was good enough to keep bread on the table for a time, but ultimately the empire shut them down, as they did all the others since they took control of the planet.

When the troopers came, many fighters stood against them, and Suga was perfectly ready to join them, but was stopped by a stranger who had been watching the fights. This stranger turned out to be an agent of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and offered Suga the chance to fight the Empire as a whole, rather than just a platoon of troopers.

Given a handful of ad hoc aptitude tests, she was just barely considered for the Starfighter Corps rather than infantry.

An ARC, huh? Did she find this ship on her own? It could be pretty fun to see if flying around the newer fighters.

@GiskApproved

Also, amended the appearance room.

No, it was with the fleet but unused. Some ARCs found their way into rebel hands after the war, but were mainly used during the early age of the rebellion.

I think at this point they're largely unused because they typically use a gunner and a bomber, and the rebellion can't spare the pilots. I thought it was a cool pick for someone who typically tries to do everything alone.

Does Raptor Squadron have a color scheme or anything?

I'm quite interested, as my favourite bit of Star Wars has always been starfighters. I'm not the most au fait with Star Wars lore however; I've seen the movies and I love the Mandalorian, but I'm not too involved heavily in the deeper bits and aspects of it especially. Also, I might have a lot on my plate already - I'd like to come up with a character and throw my hat into the ring though, just letting you know in advance though, if I end up withdrawing.
I'll have to do a bit of research to get some ideas of who/what I want to play and what fighter I'd like to pilot, but the idea is quite appealing to my sensibilities.

@Silverwind Blade

That's perfectly fine. I'd be happy to help answer any questions you have about the lore.

Once you get a character figured out, we can get started. Still with us, @Gisk? Sorry about the wait.

As I said, not totally in-depth with my SW lore, but I've dabbled over the years. And I did some research on Wookiepedia, so hopefully it pays off, and my character is okay :3

The character looks great! My only gripe is that the fighter you picked is from the wrong canon. If you want something similar, I recommend the B-Wing.

No worries, I wasn't sure what was canon or not. I'll have a rethink on the fighter. I'm not really a fan of the B-Wing, so I might go down the Gunship route and take a U-Wing, or stick to the heavy bomber/attack role and take a Y-Wing
I'll have a mull over it and make the change to one of the two, and then post Jesh in the characters tab.

I went for the U-Wing in the end; it might not be especially heavily armed or agile, but it looks cool imo, and I like the idea of being the space-huey gunship too.
If possible, it could always be modified with additional weaponry etc down the line. It seems fairly common that starfighters get modified all over the place.
