The Rebel Alliance - Planning and Recruitment Thread.

Ok folks, or those of you still around... It has become very apparent that the Alliance isn't exactly thriving. We've got barely a handful of writers consistently around, and interest hasn't been at a great high. So, following some discussion amongst myself, Aer, and Nic, we have come to the conclusion that it might be a good thing not only to get some more writers on our side, but for the site in general to reform the Alliance into the Galactic Alliance. What this would entail, is bringing back a central government to the good guys. Primarily this is because the Alliance has been very heavily focused on the military, whereas the Republic allowed for some political, Jedi, and military RP (the FO kind of has a similar thing going too with the way it is set up).

Now, we all remember how extremely terrible the Republic was. From a Chancellor who was barely around, to half the senators disappearing regularly, and other senators just over reaching power wise. So, we are going to head off a lot of those issues right out of the gate, and thankfully the canon Galactic Alliance was of the same mind.
The senate will see a return, however it will be lead by a triumvirate which will consist of a representative from the Jedi, the Military, and Civilians/Senate. Now, whether these representatives are just NPCs or a mix of NPCs and PCs is still very much up for consideration. Depending upon writer availability, it could switch between the two situations (all NPCs when the regular characters are away, and a mix when some of the PCs are available). The powers of the triumvirate will likely be very similar to the powers held by the Chief of State as detailed here: starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Chief_of_State_(Galactic_Alliance)
As far as the senate is concerned, here are what their powers will ideally be: starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Alliance_Senate#Powers
What we do about the Judiciary will entirely depend on writer availability, but this is about all we get on them: starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Galactic_Federation_of_Free_Alliances#Judicial_branch

A lot of this can be discussed and adapted based on feedback. But basically that's the plan. Ideally we are going to set something up that will allow some political play, without bogging us down like the old Republic Senate did.

You could always have a look over at the Taris skirmish if you want to jump right into something right off the bat Chase. Otherwise, you could make an appearance over one of the Alliance worlds and get yourself inducted into the Alliance (or something). Alternatively, you could drop a line over in the First Order thread and see if someone over there would be up for a little raid RP or something with you somewhere (either on a FO or Alliance world, or even just somewhere in between the two territories).
Alternatively, have a look at this map: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/191332614169165824/313094647016718336/JvS_Map_Base.png and if you see a world that is light green near some red planets, or even pink near some dark green planets, then maybe think about finding some people to do a little skirmish there. If you go with this plan, I'd suggest Anzat (mid rim) or maybe even Shili (expansion region). Anzat because it would help cut off FO support to Jabiim (and we could work towards a reclamation there) and Shili because it would help push the border.

I'm guessing I could jump in on Taris. Not really outfitted yet for a full fleet engagement, however I could still do some damage.

If I decide against that, I'll see if anyone is willing to do some RP over Anzat and go from there.

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

Either way, I'll think of something. It all depends on how eager I am to jump in and how quickly things can progress. And I haven't decided how eager I am yet.

Being comfortable really doesn't have anything to do with it, honestly. I'm currently at the point where I want to do something like the old days, where it was post after post after post consecutively, but I am also kind of lazy and don't want to start something I may lose interest in. I do that enough as it it.

On an OOC level, looking for some comments on the restructure.

IC, looking to try make a move on Anzat and Contruum.

Hey guys, I've got a jedi knight from the era of the jedi civil war that was part of a failed mission. He had been frozen in stasis until awoken by Jud and now I'm looking to get him involved in the fight against the sith. From a time where war threatened the very essence of the jedi order, Alaric was scarred by the conflict and is a militant lightsider. As a distant relative of Vrook Lamar, he has a similar dour disposition and righteous belief in his cause. Having awakened in a galaxy where the darkside has not yet been defeated, he is experiencing a conflict of confidence, but still wishes to eradicate the darkside, which he believes is the root of all evil.

So... yeah, I don't mind starting in the middle of something and then retconning how I came to be in your service

I've only got one active character right now, I wouldn't mind volunteering to make an alt that can be a ranking member of the judiciary and support the NPCs and keep things moving. I could also brainstorm some ideas about the structure if wanted to take advantage of wookieepedia's ambiguity when it comes to the GA judicial branch

I would not be opposed to this if you've got the time man. Happy to hear what ever ideas you've got and see if we can make them work.
