Moving things forward with the timetable for the Civil War. I think I got to most to what I want but I wanna leave the floor open for reactions, responses, and posts before things turn fateful with Octavian's tour on Bastion.

I had some medical issues to deal with a week ago and still am on the recovery phase. I have slowly been getting back to this and meant to post this morning, as Octavian, to remind myself what’s going on and see any updates. I know I got something with Dice and Lucius to deal with. What were you waiting on Esthh?

No medical issues. Dying OOC is not allowed.
Mostly just stuff on the landing pad. Didn't know if everyone is taking a vacation or what. There hasn't been a post in 2 weeks despite a bunch of characters being there. I think Roland was up in post order.

I apologize for the delay, I got unexpectedly busy the last couple weeks. I probably won’t be able to get to it tonight, but I will get to it in the next couple days, it will be the next post I make I promise.

Question. Years ago on the boards there was the Galactic Empire after the big Mando war.
Is The First Order its successor government?

Question. Years ago on the boards there was the Galactic Empire after the big Mando war. Is The First Order its successor government? History goes as thus: So as Fiora says, yes, it is a spiritual successor as in it is an Imperialist nation. It even controls systems that once held loyalty to Sinistra's Empire, but in depth, it is its own thing. It takes more from the Fel Empire and Pellaeon's Imperial Remnant in terms of OOC and IC inspiration. Imperial Knights being the biggest connection to the former. Nicademus had done his best to keep the links between Sinistra's Empire and his own are bare minimal to nonexistent, save for the obvious of "Imperialist" similiarities. He aimed for the First Order to be his own creation so that it was his legacy, not a borrowed/extended legacy. He always connected the roots of the First Order more with the Deep Core Remnant than that of the preceding GE he failed to keep alive.

And I am assuming that Sin's empire, as far as the boards go has been more or less absorbed by your group and not still running around on its own?

After Sinistra left, the membership pretty much just *poofed*. Whatever had remained of it was thrown to the wind when the Empire disbanded. And then the First Order returned to the Core and regained these systems once held by Sinistra and her empire.

Cool cool. So the First Order just picked up an Admiral.
How and when the appearance I am starting to work out.
Short backstory, Taung made a deal with Sin to join the Empire in exchange for help breaking the Mandos. Taung sacrificed all his ships in the battle in order to disappear, face change etc etc. So after a sabbatical secret assignment whatever the Admiral comes back and finds the Empire involved in a Civil War not even knowing that Sinistra has "vanished".
He wouldn't know who or what to believe is the proper line of succession of course. So part of the question is, how paired off and planned is the Civil War? I can have him sit on the sidelines or not bring him in until afterwards.
Thoughts?

So, a lot of the civil war has been determined, at least the spark of it and the end. Everything in between is up in the air and available for a good story. We did our best to mainstream everything so that this didn't take too long, but would still be a great story to enjoy! The lines are divided as such: - The Royalist camp desires to see the continuation of Octavian, the eldest child of the late Emperor and his heir by designation. He has strong support among the younger officers and some key elder statesmen, such as the Grand Marshal Zahn and the Grand Admiral Kasalle. He has the backing of the Imperial Knights, who he educated with as Crown Prince, and the support of the 501st Legion, the Imperial Guard. He is to begin his campaign from the Outer Rim with his main base at Bastion, the Bellator-class, Viligance, to serve as the tip of the spear. - The Old Guard camp is mostly a plot to ensure maximum chaos within this civil war. A cabal of officers propped up a reluctant Baltasar Delvardus, one of the uncles of the late Emperor's children. They have launched a violent coup on the capital world of Coruscant, which has decimated the capital and killed a loyal servant of the Empire and who was family of the three contenders. The Core worlds have, as a result, erupted into total chaos as Baltasar's cabal seek to expand his grip while other systems fight against the Ren and these Imperial traitors. They have strong support among the older commanders and soldiers that have long known and respected the Grand Marshal, now rival Emperor. He starts off with the capital in hand and one of our SSDs, a Super-class. - The Fiora camp which is dominated by the machinations of Harnan, Master of the Ren. Fiora is the twin sister of Octavian and was raised to follow the path of her mother, the late Empress Illaria Ren. Using some faked evidence, thanks to a certain master of spiders, the Ren have struck out from their lair in the Deep Core and captured Kuat. Fiora, herself, has claimed Empress Teta as her capital during this conflict. Their flagship was a captured project from Kuat, an unfinished Mandator V. You are welcome to join a side or sit out to see what happens. I don't wanna speak too much openly about the course of the war, but I can include you in a PM with Fiora Ren as we both know the course at the start and at the end. We can give you a better picture and help you decide where you wanna be if possible. I do like the idea of another Admiral though. Never can enough of anything and anyone in terms of station and rank.

Seems Octavian has covered things pretty decently well. The Ren would happily take on another ally for the course of coming events and there is a very perfect lead in since we're currently already at Kuat.

Fiora just doesn't want to do it alone. *glances at the characters involved*

Works for me. Kuat was where the last battle was so it would make sense to return to the throne world that was when he disappeared.

So likely there, you'd be able to join up with the Ren side of things. Alternatively, notice retreating Imperial forces and join them in their escape, wondering what's going on. Either way, plenty to be open to and to do. Just be aware: no matter side what you choose, don't worry about your character being like... banished or something. We aren't as large as we used to compared to the haydays of the early First Order. We'd like to try and keep well-made characters going.
