@Polybius I do have one fluff question about the setting. Might seem minor, but it's a bit important for the idea I'm planning. What does interstellar travel look like in this setting?

Are we talking Star Trek style super-fast-warp-engines that can take someone anywhere they want to go?

Or are we talking using wormholes as superhighways from point A to point B?

Thanks and can't wait for the OOC to go up!
This is relevant to my interests!
DO WANT! *gently taps the 'Interested' button*
Haven't finalized the details as of yet, but the idea that I've got so far is a group of Jedi Survivors and Rogue Clones who had their inhibitor chips removed, or if we go by Legends, just flat up disobeyed or never received Order 66.


I tend to take the idea that the movies and TV shows are the only "Canon" and everything else is just flexible rumors.
Hey, if you're still accepting, I'd be interested in helping out. I've had some ideas I could use for something like this.


By all means!
@Aleranicus Do you think it would be possible for me to have a crime organization operate in the pockets of Taranos Magnos?


Absolutely. Like I said, as long as the ISB is technically ruling the planet, this is a sandbox to build in. I'm interested in any and every idea that can be brought to the table!
Alliance Intelligence Document on O-6 System Designate 44501.2 - Ord Taranos

Population: 32,000,000 (Final Galactic Census count prior to Clone Wars)
- 64% Human
- 12% Twi'lek
- 8% Rodian
- 7% Duros
- 9% Other

Climate: Varied
- Tropical Equatorial region
- Temperate and Arctic regions above equatorial region

Moons: Two; one Habitable

Government: Formerly Parliamentary Democracy; Currently Military Dictatorship

Head of State: ISB Agent Vichous

Notable Locations:
- Taranos Magna, former capital city. Reduced to rubble during the Clone Wars. Fighting
- Imperial Manufacturing Center 1142-B.

Primary Exports: Manufactured Weapons, Imperial Walkers, black market goods.

Primary Import: Refugee laborers, black market goods.

History: Ord Taranos has been a part of the Republic for at least a full 1,000 years. It was initially identified as a suitable colony and tourist world, but its distance from primary hyperspace lanes soon killed the follow-up investments needed to keep development of the planet apace to the liking of the galaxy's beings. As soon as the initial investments dried up, many of the laborers were left without a credit to their name or a way off planet. Ord Taranos became synonymous with anarchy and disorder for nearly a century despite the intervention of the Judicials and even the direct intervention of the Jedi Knights to restore peace to the world. Through their combined efforts the people of Ord Taranos were able to enjoy several centuries of peace and relative prosperity. As its cities grew and it gained a reputation as a breadbasket for the sector, the tourist trade so instrumental to its founding began to blossom naturally.

The Trade Federation's choking taxation of the local shipping lanes invited smuggling cartels and criminal syndicates to set up shop in the system while the planet's governing bodies became mired in corruption. The outbreak of the Clone Wars saw the planet's citizens remain loyal to the Republic, while the ruling class invited Separatist occupation. A Republic army with a Jedi General at its head drove the droid armies off world early in the war. With bountiful harvests and security, the citizens of Ord Taranos welcomed millions of refugees from other war-torn planets throughout the sector.

The Jedi General acting as head of the planetary government was executed after Order 66 went out, and the planet fell under direct military rule for a decade. Imperial surveyors discovered massive metal deposits beneath one of Ord Taranos' moons and began a mining operation using Confederate prisoners as labor. A massive factory complex, 1142-B, became the focus of the planet's new ruler, ISB Agent Vichous. The facility produces enough materiel to supply a company of Stormtroopers every week. If this sector is to be freed, it must be shut down.

Hook: Ord Taranos has been peaceful since the end of the Clone Wars, but discontent is simmering beneath the surface. The riot in Hurapine left twenty-three dead Stormtroopers behind and saw hundreds arrested- but Alliance Intelligence believes that was only the beginning. Communications intercepts from smugglers who left the city in the days before indicate someone sparked that unrest and may be planning to do more. Recommend inserting intelligence agents to establish contact with the resistance groups on this planet, ultimate goal of destroying the Imperial Factory complex.

First, I would like to say, welcome one and all to this project/RP incubator. I've been trying to design this sandbox of Ord Taranos for about a month now, but I'm hitting road block after road block (and that's without Real Life interfering). So I was wondering if anyone would want to lend their time and creative energy to making a complete planet. Not one of those "All Water" or "All Jungle" planets, but a varied biosphere with more than one settlement, competing factions, and adventure around every corner. Some things I know about this planet, other things I can guess at.

The only major rules I'd like to keep to in this?

1.) The Empire controls this planet. That fact is undisputed. At best the people of Ord Taranos have a simmering hatred for their Imperial overlords. At worst, a fatalistic cynicism has set in.

2.) This is a game of "Yes, and-" not a game of "No, mine!" Having said that, if you want to borrow someone's character/location/organization/McGuffin, please consult with them before doing so. It is only courteous to do so.

3.) Be respectful of other peoples' contributions. If you think their idea is dumb, that's fine. We're building a whole planet. Feel free to say "My group/person/city does not interact with their X because of Y." And leave it at that.

4.) Templates are just that, templates. They are not set in stone. You may embellish them or trim them down as you desire. Write them in the form of an Alliance Intel report, ISB internal memo, a message from a local smuggling contact, but to show that you have read these rules, I expect every entry to contain a Plot Hook, clearly marked as such. This is an open-ended plot idea, such as "ISB Agent Vichous always visits Room 101 on Tuesdays. No one knows what lies beyond that door but him, but some hear the sounds of screams within..."

5.) Please post templates in OOC before they are posted in the "canon" IC folder so they can be reviewed for meeting the necessary requirements.

Having said all of that, I will post a few templates and make an initial IC post before heading off to work.
