Star Wars Saga Edition: Imperial Wetworks

@Lurking Krog This site has all the information you need. All of the rules and a bunch of homebrew stuff as well.

Star Wars Saga Edition: Imperial Wetworks

The year is 2BBY. Lothal has just fallen and Grand Admiral Thrawn and Battlegroup Chimera have disappeared into the Ether. You are Imperial Storm Commando's. Your official job is "To seek out those who would provide aid, comfort and technology to seditious groups and to bring them to justice" But the actual job is "Find Rebels, kill them. Find Rebel sympathizing scientists and capture them and their technologies for the glory of Empire and Emperor." You can be as mean and nasty as you want, or you can try to go about it the Hanns Scharff way of getting what you want through non-violent methods of trickery. So long as the Emperor gets his new toys, your strategy is of no consequence to him. And being Storm Commando's, you have the best and meanest toys that the Empire has at its disposal to get the job done.

How does Character Creation Work?

Saga Edition is a system best described as "D&D 3.75" It's a D20 system that is half way between 3.5e and 4e. Character Creation is split into 3 parts:

Origin:

The simplest part. Choose a planet of origin. The DM then chooses 2 skills that you automatically get trained in from growing up on that planet. So, somewhere like Tattooine would give you training in Survival (Your ability to survive and track through inhospitable environments) and Mechanics (due to the planets primary export being Starships and Pod Racers)

Race:

So, each race in the galaxy tends to have their own specific abilities and specializations. Naturally, playing as Stormtroopers, you are limited by the fact that you are working for... Well, let's not sugar-coat it, your employers are racist bastards (An evil, facist dictatorship having not terribly PC seniments? who'd-a-thunk-it?) So, if you want to play anything other than an Inquisitor, you're kinda limited to either Human or Near-Humans.

Character Class:

The game has 5 primary classes and works on the "Prestige Class" system which doesn't get important till Level 7, so let's not worry about those for the moment.

Jedi: Speaks for itself. Melee based class with Force Powers that you can cast. In this RP if you wanted to be a Jedi, you'd be playing as an Inquisitor.
Noble: Nobles have very little weapons training and combat ability, but excel outside of combat. Tend to make rather good officers as they buff their allies.
Scoundrel: Not necessarily the best at combat or the most skilled outside of combat, but they tend to specialize in asymetrical warfare, lying cheating and stealing their way through missions. Also tend to make good pilots.
Scout: Masters of their environment, tend to be slightly better at combat than Scoundrels, but specialize in specific kinds of battlefields. As Stormtroopers, they tend to be the Specialized troopers (Scout Troopers, Shore-Troopers, Snow-Troopers, etc.)
Soldier: Combat specialists, frontline fighters who tend not to have the best out-of-combat ability, but they are the toughest guys on the field.

Equipment and credits will be divied out after character creation, so you don't need to worry about that stuff.

So, who's interested?

A bunch of Fandom RP idea's.

So, that's 1 person interested in everything except the Kaiju one.

Sorry for very short post, computer is giving me the old "You must restart, you have 5 minutes to save everything" so i just posted it. Will continue it later though.

The Lanterns

---

30,000ft above the Pacific Ocean

Hal, Sinestro, May and Dex sat on the plane as it flew over the Pacific towards Sapporo. Hal stared at Dex as he sat licking himself. "Ok. I'm gonna be the one to say this." Hal said, guesticulating wildly at Dex. "IT'S A CAT!!!" Dex stopped licking himself and looked at Hal.

"It is human who smells of Steak Sauce." He replied. "Dex-Starr can state obvious too." Hal felt like he was living in a coo-coo-clock.

"Sinestro, i'm being damn serious right now, how the HELL is a cat the Champion of Rage? This raises so many questions. Are there SERIOUSLY not angrier people out there? I mean, i caught a documentary the other day of the CEO of Wayne Enterprises. That guy saw both his parents gunned down in front of him. You are telling me this cat was able to comprehend more rage than him?" Hal asked. Dex's eyes narrowed.

"Dex-Starr's rage is currently aimed at Green Steak-Sauce-Human." He growled as his ring glowed a darker red.

"AND WHY DOES IT TALK?!?!?" Hal yelled at Sinestro. "I can get around the secret agent who knows how to kill me in 200,000,000 different ways with just her big toe, I can just wrap my head around an alien man from space that came baring magic rings that turned us into the god-damned Power Rangers, but a talking cat joining the team? That's it, i'm drawing the line and demanding answers!" He looked at May for validation. May was just as curious, but she was trained to be restrained and not act out irrationally, unlike Jordan, who, despite his Air Force training, the stress was clearly getting to him. Sinestro looked at May.

"Are all of your military personelle as irrational as this one?" Sinestro asked. He then looked at Hal. "To answer your quesion, Green Lantern, the rings are not simply drawn to those who have felt the most of their emotion in their lives. When they are on the hunt, they are looking for the correct kinds of it. Dex-Starr is the one full of the most righteous anger at this very moment and it was enough to convince the ring to choose him. His speech is due to the rings translation matrix allowing you to understand what he's saying.

"Wait. The ring has a translation matrix?" He asked. He looked at May. "Say something in... German, i dunno." May rolled her eyes.

"You're an idiot." She said.

"No i'm not, this is a valid experiment." Hal reasoned.

"Well, then it works." May replied.

"No, you need to say something in German for me to tell." Hal said. May looked at Sinestro.

"So it turns everything i say into something he understands." She replied. "Not surprising, considering we don't speak Korugarian."

"What's..." Hal stopped himself, realizing that question was most definitely in the briefing that Sinestro had written. "So, what happens if you say something in Spanish?" Hal asked. "I'm a Cali boy, i speak Spanish." He replied.

"Creo que sonaría exactamente lo mismo." May replied.

"Ah, that came through as Spanish because i understand it." Hal pointed at her.

"Alright, so that was a fair experiment." She replied.

"But, back to the cat?" Hal asked.

"He is not the first non-sapient animal that has been made into the Champion." Sinestro put his ring out and began creating constructs of several other creatures. A squirrel, a dog, a space-whale looking thing, an entire planet.

"A planet became a Lantern?" Hal asked.

"Mogo, one of the strongest of our order. He was Green just as you are." He said.

"Well, Mogo never got to meet Hal Jordan. And that's a shame for him, because i'm gonna be better than him. Hal replied with an arm-pump. Sinestro looked at Hal.

"For all our sakes, i hope you are right." Sinestro replied.

@Sep That's actually an excellent point. I'm going on Holiday next week (2nd - 6th September) into rural Wales, where the Internet is not the best. So, i may go rather quiet that week.

'Floating' (Star Wars 2 BBY)

So, i made a character sheet to give you a better idea of what i'm asking to play.

Boltare Gianno

Boltare

Name: Boltare Gianno
Callsign: Trinity
Faction: Empire
Rank: Flight Captain (Lieutenant equivalent)
Species: Echani
Age: 32, Sex: Male
Height:6'1”, Eyes: White
Physique: Fairly lithe from first appearance, but underneath his clothes he has toned muscular structure.
Hair: White
Skin: Pale
Force Sensitive: No, he has above human reaction speeds, but so do most Echani. Echani are suspected to have an intrinsic link to the force, but it's never been proved.

NPC: Captain Patrick Jericho (Captain of Revenge), Cyclops and Toxin (Wingmen), F61-7 (Designated Protocol Droid)

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:

Ace Pilot: Boltare has been piloting Fighters and one-man ships since he was old enough to reach the peddles. Graduating Skystrike Academy at the top of his class, he spent some time in the covetted Obsidian Squadron but has been passed around.

Unarmed Combat: One of the most important parts of Echani Culture is physical combat. It is said that 2 Echani can share more in 3 minutes of combat than in 10 years of discussion.

Starship Design: Gianno Shipwrights are a small but fairly respected Shipbuilding company and Boltare is the the current heir to the company. As such Boltare has taken an interest in order to fully take over when his mother retires.

Stormtrooper Aim: So, in the skies, Boltares skill is up there with Baron Fel and Anakin Skywalker... But on the ground, his aim with a blaster leaves a lot to be desired.

APPEARANCE:

Boltare is a fairly standard specimen of his species. Reasonably tall, lithe build with crew-cut length white hair and white eyes. He tends to dress rather standardly. Imperial Flight Suit when on duty or his Officers uniform when not in a combat situation. When trying to remain incogneto for missions on the ground, he tends to dress reservedly, simple robes and a poncho. Although whatever he is wearing, he carries a standard issue RK-3 Blaster Pistol on his hip, he very rarely draws it (Primarily because he's not actually that great a shot with it)

BIOGRAPHY:

Born a few years before the Incident on Naboo, Boltare grew up on the Echani colony world of Yuki from a fairly noble family, lower-upper class. Born as the heir to Gianno Shipwrights, a fairly small-sized shipyard that created custom luxury yachts, but during the Clone Wars shifted over to liscence-building Fighters for the Republic. Mostly the V-19 Torrent, before moving onto the ARC-170 in the later war. After the war, they pivotted back towards the Luxury Yachts, but every so often were hired by Kaut and other Imperial yards to help fill large orders for V-Wings, then TIE Fighters. Helping to test pilot these TIE's is where Boltare grew an appreciation of these simple yet effective Space Superiority Fighters.

When Boltare turned 18, much to his mothers chagrin, he was accepted into the Imperial Academy on Caridia. Passing at the top of his class in the Flight School, he was assigned to several squadrons where he proved his proficiency behind the controls of a TIE Fighter. Mostly dealing with pirates, slavers and other undesirables on the outer rim, he proved himself invaluable to his commanders, eventually earning him some higher training at the legendary "Skystrike Academy" where he once again passed top of his class in the Advanced Officer Training program.

Recently, with the Rebellion getting more and more bold in every step (Especially after that transmission from Lothal 2 years back) He has found himself having to deal with heavily armed, converted freighters, maybe even some of those heavily armed and armoured X-Wings. It was recently, at a skirmish with Rebel forces just off of the Rishi Maze, Boltare proved his mettle when he personally destroyed 7 Rebel fighters in 1 sortie. Now, he is being pulled into Rebel Hunting by order of an old family friend, Moff Kohl Seerdon.

Sum up your week in roleplaying in just 3 words

Finally doing something.

'Floating' (Star Wars 2 BBY)

@deegee So, any thoughts about my question?

Weird question: Would it be possible to play an Imperial who's chasing the gang? Not necessarily an evil bastard, just the old "Law is the law and the Emperor is the guy signing the cheques. I mean, I'm happy to lose all the time, I just kinda have a hankering for that kind of character.

<Snipped quote by AndyC>

Yeah sure. Nicky Fury can be the Assistant Director under Nick Fury that's no problem with me. I was thinking Nichola Fury but hey, whatever works.

@Sep

"Michael Bolton, welcome to your first day at S.H.I.E.L.D. H.Q., Michael Bolton this is Nick Fury, Michael Bolton, this is Nick Fury, Michael Bolton, this is Nick Fury, Michael Bolton, this is Nick Fury, Michael Bolton, this is Nick Fury, Michael Bolton, this is Nick Fury."

"Wait, is your name not Nick Fury?"

"No, it's Michael."

"Well, that's gonna cause some confusion... Mind if we call you Nick Fury?"
