The Rebel Alliance - Planning and Recruitment Thread.

So I've been hashing out some details OOC with Alpharius in regards to the Alliance, and it's best that we assume such a body rather than fully RP out each and every step to get everyone in place. That way, it's easier for people to jump and join the up and coming fight against the First Order.

Another detail I'd been hashing out was that Aerandir himself, after recognizing the man who announced the Knights of Ren as a former Jedi and having misgivings about the First Order, planned on setting out to call together worlds to form this Alliance to prepare for a war that threatens the very galaxy's way of life. The First Order has yet to publicly establish the first contact location between the two parties, but once they do, I figure it would be a good time to also reveal that the galaxy, Republic or no Republic, isn't going to take another Empire takeover lying down, with the new Alliance army and fleet showing up, Aerandir with them, to oppose the First Order's assault and aid the Jedi that will presumably already be present on the world.

Let's do this right, and have us an awesome time. No worldwide government, just a collaboration of groups ready to kick ass.

There isn't a sole home base and no NPC's preside over any of the character's that find themselves in the Alliance. Everyone who wears the badge can work alone, if they wish, or in concert with other cells/ elements to take the fight to the First Order on various fronts in a myriad of ways. With such a mindset in place, one doesn't have to go through the whole "I wanna join the Rebellion" phase if they don't want to, leaving them free to declare themselves Rebels and drop right into the action.

So, all in all, the difference between us and the Resistance? (Other than the idea being possibly scrapped, due to the character change.)

The Alliance is what we make it.

With the serious look of the default, you know some serious stuff is gonna happen with Aer in the coming future.

With this post, I've started to put things in motion for the forming of the Alliance. The backbone is set, and once we have the people, we're ready to give the First Order hell!

After some discussion with Aer and Picas, the designated first contact between the First Order and the Jedi will be Dantooine. Aer is also working on getting the Alliance suited and ready to join up with this first encounter that will spark, what we can call, the Third Galactic Civil War or the Imperial-Jedi War.

Keep an eye out for when the official thread goes up folks! Expect it this month, early next month, unless I or Aer post a need for a delay.

While not mentioned in the movie, the Rebel Alliance became the New Republic and had been in power for some time when The Force Awakens takes place. (Possible setting spoilers in the link to follow, if you spoiled yourself through the link? Not my problem. www.starwars.com/databank/the-new-republic )

Like the First Order we're revving up to topple, the JvS version of the Rebel Alliance vastly differs from what's been displayed on the Screen and in EU/Legends Canon. So while there's alot of room for us in the Alliance to act as the Guerrilla/Freedom Fighters, there is going to be a place for those that want large scale combat between the two warring factions.

Naturally, with no Republic to fund this Alliance, there's going to be plenty of... Borrowing (read: thieving) happening around the 'verse.

Might even have a train heist or two.

Well, I guess if we manage to hire you first, we'll have to keep you happy to ensure that don't turn coats. Or, somehow bribe you into the fold if the First Order gets you first.

Never the less, I'm looking forward to seeing how this all unfolds.
