The Galactic Empire

I am not saying for all eternety, just untill we get some good idea what is going on in the empire, and can get on our two feet after the loss of the higher tier IC decision makers.

Still here and just finished a Recon of old DT worlds, found both systems largely abandoned, though one was populated. A military guy myself, with a penchant for intel and side jobs. Where should I show up to report for orders IC?

Edit: About the republic, so what? if any of the writers were militarily minded we could crush them with the sacking of coruscant, but none, or at laest only a few, are so trying to start a war with them now will only leave you with a debacle worse than the Mando-crusade which went from void at Yavin to dead at Kuat, if I followed it correctly, with side points narrated in as necessary/desired. My point is the IC conflict has plenty of motive, but the OOC writers don't, so you'll just be writing yourself into a void by picking up the heat on this one. But I'm just junior brass, here so don't take my word for it.

I find it amusing, that you think you can dissuade me from this course of actions, or even try persuade me that I can lead the Imperial Army.
1. The only way this ends, as far as the want to sack Coruscant is concerned, is either with: Zahn's death, or the death of the members of the Republic Military Committee.
2. General Zahn is an idea, when one falls, another one rises with the same name. When he has a mission, he goes after it, until it is accomplished. You do put an asset like that in charge of your military.
3. if he was in charge of it, he wouldn't be taking just his small force, which the Imperial's could deny any existence of, and attacking Coruscant, he would be taking every asset the Empire has, and conquering every Republic world.

You want someone more complacent to lead it... me? I cannot sit idly by and ignore IC actions that deserve an IC ass kicking, simply because the people OOC cannot be bothered writing the army that they have. For me, if the Republic Senator's want to publicly provoke the Empire IC, then then there should be repurcussions. Otherwise, you get people writing character's that do all these ridiculous things that should have major repurcussions, getting away with it all. There is a certain element of realism that fails, simply because people are afraid of sitting through extended battles, or because people don't want to write a military, but yet want to sit around in a senate or government and provoke an enemy, or announce something that would receive mass public outcry, and yet get away with it, all cause no one is willing to push back.
People say this is Star WARS, and yet, when the most perfect opportunity to fight a war is served up on a silver platter, suddenly there is this attitude of: well they aren't military minded, so we better not do anything about it IC. If you guys don't want to get involved, then that's cool, I never expected any one to, but personally, I plan to sieze this by the... jewels... and if I get stuck in a void, so what, I have a couple other things I can write until a new post is put up, or I can move on according to the rules of combat in the natural laws. Just cause the front door is locked, doesn't mean the back door will be as well

It wouldn't be as fun without any opposition...

how about this:

I start off the Charity ball, it gets charity bally, we get some poöitical and mignling action going off, and then suddenly, BOOOM, imperial troops (later claimed to be deserters and terrorists) attack, and there is a nice battle and shit.

You guys get what you want, and those that still want to continue the cold war gets what they want.

Win Win.

How about that?

If it's a war you want, I'm not writing an Admiral for nothing. I'll be there if you call, I just wanted you to know what you were signing up for.

woah, back up a couple steps for me. Since when did Bateman (whom runs Juvex Imports/Exports) suddenly become a member of the Empire? especially one high enough to act as the Emperor's intermediary?
As for whether you want a war or not, that is your own view, it does not necessarily mean that everyone has to go along with it, simply because you say it is so. Just like I don't expect anyone to follow me on this sacking of Coruscant, unless they choose to...

As we all know... highest rank or experience level does not often go hand in hand with leadership.

...just stirring the pot.

hehe, that is true. Well played Mr. Fel



Uhm, the entire Imperial High Command Disappearing? looks over at Moff Nicademus Delvardus IV Pretty sure we still have a member of Imperial High Command around about the place...



This trend of "well, we are doing this IC thing, simply because of this thing OOC, and all logic be damned" is a little disconcerting. I mean, you've just dropped an NPC into a role that he had not previous ties to, that could be better taken by someone that makes sense, simply because you have the most effective spy network...



Sacking of coruscant: it is fun, and works exactly like that. What you fail to realize about my plan, is that there will be no identifying Imperial Markings, no orders from the Emperor or anyone within high command ordering the attack, in fact, as the Empire's most skilled Commando's, we won't just be rocking up in orbit going "yo fool's, the Empire is totally behind this attack, so you should attack them", that is like a rookie mistake...
Zahn attacking the Republic will be a declaration of war on the Republic, from someone who will for all IC intents and pruposes, not be even remotely representing the Empire at all, in fact someone would need to use OOC knowledge, to know that. And if, on the extremely unlikely off chance someone IC knew General Zahn was Imperial, there is this wonderful thing in Politics called deniability. The Empire denies any and all association with the Zahn that attacked Coruscant, and makes a big spectacle about how the Republic is trying to use it's old tactics of using third parties to instigate their own rule of terror, as witnessed during the Mando Crusades, which gave birth to the Empire originally, since Sinistra would not give into such tyranny. There is also the fact that there is like a dozen factions/governments within the JvS galaxy that could claim the Imperial title, that the blame could be diverted upon, it's not like the Republic knows the Imperial Remnant is now defunct...
The only difference between my plan and your idea, is that yours actually involves openly implicating Imperial Personelle far too easily. The end result as far as deniability goes, is still the same (albeit a lot easier with my plan), although, instead of a plan that is doomed to do nothing other then foil a gala ball, my plan involves some good ol' senatorial deaths.



Well, the Republic being more fun to write in, really is a matter of opinion... Their latest Senate Session has kind of died in the ass...
As for not posting in here, I prefer to remain away from the OOC area's, cause of certain... personalities
