Into the FIRST, GALACTIC, EMPIRE! For a safe, and secure, society.[/i][/url] It has been 8 years since the reformation of the Republic into the Galactic Empire and it is a time of peace and prosperity, or so the Holovids claim. Tyranny, fear, greed. These are all the inner machinations of the Empire. While there are idealists within the Empire that is far from what the Empire has become. On Boonta, one of the Imperials hubs near the infamous Hutt space the regional Governor Sarrus lords above all. An uncaring dictator who only cares so long as the food, credits, alcohol and spice keeps flowing. This makes daily life no easier, Colonel Vale fills in for the lack of cruelty. Stepping firmly on any sign of insurrection, ensuring that the planet is well defended and that all quotas for the mines is met on time. In all but name the planet is under his control and a firm and cold grip it is. Yet as is always true, the more control the Empire tries to exert the more people who begin to resent it instead of fear it. Boonta is on the, [b][color=yellow][h1]Edge of Rebellion[/h1][/color][/b][/center] [hr] It is 11BBY, and the Empire controls the Galaxy. This roleplay will take place on the [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Boonta]world of Boonta[/url], a scrapyard, scum ridden mining world near Hutt Space. The world itself acts as an important point for all Imperial Interests in the nearby sectors. Though all throughout the galaxy dissent is growing as people finally begin to realize, that the Galactic Empire is not as good as it was once hoped to be. While it promised stability after the Clone Wars and order, it merely offers oppression and control. As such all over the galaxy small cells of rebels are rising up, however the Empire is quick to extinguish these groups. Cells struggle to survive in an ever changing Galaxy, will you fight for the security of the Empire? Or are you brave enough to stand in front of the Empire's war machine, raise your hand and say “No More”? [hr] [h2]Boonta:[/h2] Boonta, like most outer rim worlds has a smaller population compared to most core bound worlds. With a population of just over eighty million, per the last consensus thirty years ago. Despite this small population the world is still of great importance due to its strategic location. Able to act as a supply base for the Imperial Efforts in the system, with additional slave labor it can be easily mined and provides convenient access to Hutt space but is not so close as to mean the entire world is corrupt. The world itself has three major hubs, the first being Boonta. The city named after the hutt and the planet itself. This hub hosts the podracing stadium and has the major spaceport, it also plays host to the Governors palace and the majority of the Imperial presence. The second city is the Shining Gem (Pre Imperial: Ko Yaril) an older city mainly inhabited by the Tionese and has been ever since the Hutts first "claimed" the planet millenia ago. The third city is the mining capital known as Hollow Rock, previously a Tionese settlement it was renamed after the Imperials discovered it could be a useful mining hub for their operations. The rest of the population largely lives in small towns or farmsteads in the vast greenlands on the planet that are ideally suited for growing crops or raising livestock. However there are two deserts near each of the poles, and the equilateral region plays host to several major forests. In space there lies a vast scrapyard of abandoned and useless ships, in it there is a space station host to five thousand people who spend their days stripping ships of useful parts for the Empires war machine.

This War Machine currently holds control of Boonta and all of the other systems in this region of space. That said while their presence here is solid, it isn't yet at it's peak. As more personnel are still finding themselves being assigned to this planet as well as additional resources and weaponry. One thing is clear that while the Empire may have Boonta in it's grip it is severely tightening it.[/i] [hider=Imperial Navy] [i]The Imperial Navy patrols this sector, heavily, due to it's proximity to Hutt space and the subsequent criminal activity. An Imperial Star Destroyer patrols the entire Sector, while in orbit an aging Venator stands guard with a Victory Star Destroyer. Numerous [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_light_cruiser]Imperial Light Cruisers[/url] also make regular patrols throughout the system and act as the Imperial Fast response if they need ships with more firepower in operations than the [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_light_cruiser]Imperial Freighter[/url]. The main operation currently undergo in orbit is the construction of a Golan Orbital Defence Platform.[/i][/hider] [hider=Imperial Army] [b]This Hider is W.I.P and numbers will be given later[/b] [i]The Imperial army itself makes up the bulk of Military Might, from the standard Imperial Troopers, to vehicle pilots and the elite Stormtroopers. The enforce the will of the Empire wherever they go.[/i] [u][b]Personnel[/b][/u] [list] [*][b]750,000:[/b] [i]Imperial Army Personnel[/i] - This number encompasses officers, technicians, engineers, medics, basic ground troops and vehicle pilots that all belong to the bulk of the Imperial military. [*][b]50,000:[/b] [i]Imperial Storm Troopers[/i] - The elite shock troopers of the Empire, this includes elite Walker pilots and Scout Troopers.

Heavily armed, heavily armoured and capable of transporting large numbers of troops through harsh terrain. They are a sight to be faired. [*][b]50:[/b] [i]All Terrain - Scout Troopers[/i] - The AT-STs are new of the line, set to replace the older aging AT-DPs that still take part in the majority of Imperial Operations. The Walkers are faster, more nimble and boast a higher rate of fire. They do lack a cannon as powerful as that of a AT-DP however this is augmented with concussion missiles. [*][b]1,000:[/b] [i]All Terrain - Defense Pods[/i] - The AT-DPs are the successor to the AT-APs, capable of packing a punch they walk faster than their predecessors and are more stable. [*][b]2,000:[/b] [i]Imperial Troop Transports[/i] - ITTs or IRTs as they are sometimes called make up the bulk of the Imperial Ground Vehicles. Capable of carrying several squads of infantry, speeder bikes, supplies or prisoners they are also usually armed with two dual cannon turrets. [*][b]10,000:[/b][i] 614-AvA Speeder bikes[/i] - Speeder bikes are used for many purposes, moving secure crates of cargo quickly, scouting, pursuit or moving Important Personnel from A to B. As such the Empire has a large number of them at their disposal.

The open Circle Fleet had once a sign of hope within the Outer Rim and was led by, most famously, Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. The idea behind the symbol is that it used to inspire hope, and the leaders of the Rebellion hope that it can once again. It is also a sign of unity, in that the open circle encompasses everyone within their sphere of influence, but can always accept more. They are incredibly small in number, not only in regards to the Empire as a whole but even in the Dernatine system they are but a small force. Though they have heart, and while they haven’t many members their movement is growing.[/i] [Hider=Navy] [i]The Open Circle Rebellion has no real navy, any freighters it possesses do not have hyperdrives (Or at least not functioning hyperdrives) as most of the ships used are only used in order to get to the scrapyard orbiting the planet. In terms of fighter support they have some old Clone War Era beat down fighters, but not many. They have no ships fitting the capital class.[/i] [/hider] [hider=Army] [i]The “Open Circle” army is mainly veterans from sector security (or older veterans from the Clone wars), Factory workers of some description or just plain old people. Some of them have never handled blasters before in their lives. Which is why the Open Circle Rebellion only very loosely follows military structure.[/i] [b][u]Personnel:[/u][/b] [list] [*][b]200:[/b] [i]Dedicated Members[/i] - These personnel have devoted their lives to the cause of the Open Circle Rebellion wholly and completely. They do not have civilian lives anymore. [*][b]25,000:[/b] [i]Rebel Sympathisers[/i] - These are people who sympathise with the rebels, but quite often don’t have the guts to take action themselves. Some are in high Imperial Positions which is why they chose not to act directly. Quite often the sympathisers indirectly assist Rebels, the higher ranking sympathisers unable to be touched by the Imperial Military due to friends in high places. This number can quite often increase or decrease rapidly depending on the Imperial Response, Propaganda or how the Rebels conduct themselves. [*][b]500:[/b] [i]B1 Battle Droids[/i] - The Imperials don’t know the Rebels have these, and a majority of the Rebels don’t even know where they came from. Though they are active and available to be used… though of course they [i]are[/i] out-dated technology these days. [/list] [b][u]Vehicles:[/u][/b] [i]The Rebellion owns no vehicles other than some personal speederbikes and hovercars.[/i][/hider][/hider] [hr] [h2]Command Structures[/h2] [hider=Empire] [i]Everyone in the sector answers to the Sector Governor, and his second in command Colonel Vale. With the exception of any I.S.B agents on Special Assignment. Their command structure follows the standard military ranking system.[/i] [/hider] [hider=Rebellion] [i]The Rebellion has one leader, who is voted in/chosen by the others. This leader is currently Rael Tyrn a Besalisk colonist, who was voted in not just for his physical strength (Which is impressive) but for his heart and tactical cunning. He leaders the Rebellion from their main hidden base, working with the group known as the Inner Circle to plan the Rebellions actions in the system. Each small cell on the planet however has it’s own leader who can chose what each individual cell is doing, and only knows how to contact the larger Rebellion via a single contact to try and prevent the loss of one cell comprising the entire organisation. That is said, occasionally a major operation will go down in which all of the rebel cells will work together. Sometimes without even knowing it.[/i] [/hider] [hr] [h2]Current Objectives[/h2] [i]Anything super-duper top secret will be sent via PM by your faction leader or done IC.[/i] [hider=Empire] [b]Empire Day:[/b] Empire day is approaching! The Glorious day where our Emperor Palpatine shook of the shackles of the Old Republic and ushered in a new age of peace and prosperity! The Governor himself will be making an appearance near the new Kuat Drive Systems Factory in the capital to unveil the [i]first[/i] Imperial Walker to be produced on Boonta! It will be a glorious day, though to make sure it goes smoothly all forces need to be prepared. [b]ISB:[/b] Select units have been requisitioned by Colonel Vale to prepare a facility for the arrival of an unknown ISB agent. [/hider] [hider=Rebellion] [b]Empire Day:[/b] Empire day is approaching! Everyone will be watching, security will be tight. Though that doesn’t mean we can’t make our voices heard and let people know that they aren’t alone! That there are others nearby who support [i]them[/i] and not just the greedy Imperial Machine. They are apparently unveiling some new kind of Walker that we’ve never seen before. Though we’ve heard some rumours from other systems, apparently it’s [i]big[/i]. [b]Recruitment:[/b] Always a job for the Rebellion. [/hider] [hr] Any questions?
