Not even as our negotiators spoke with them, did they consider this. Fools. When our troops seized their capital from underneath their collective noses, some few may have realized the truth. [b]There is only passion[/b] Led by Darth Nyiss, Sith and troopers alike quickly spread throughout their Jedi Temple, passionately seeking out and capturing their knights and padawans, even as their masters were slain. Only time will tell if they learn from this lesson. [b]Through Passion, we gain Strength[/b] If we can inspire the passion within the Jedi we now hold captive on Darth Nyiss vessel, the Kaggath, we can make them into strong Sith. They may be opposed to it now, but that will not last. They are hopelessly outnumbered, their only real choices being submitting meekly or using their passion to grow stronger. If they submit meekly, we can take what knowledge we can from them, then dispose of the wasteful flesh afterwards. If they give in to their passion, they will grow strong. Worthy. [b]Through Strength, we gain power[/b] When they are strong, they will gain power. The power of the Dark Side will flow through them, make them worthy of becoming Sith. Or they will will be consumed by it, proving themselves weak, at which point they will die. [b]Through power, we gain victory.[/b] If their hold onto their newfound power and manage not to be consumed by it, they will succeed in being worthy of the title Sith. If they embrace it, they will be victorious. We will be victorious. [b]Through victory, our chains are broken.[/b] Their chains, imposed upon them by the Jedi Order, will break. Their foolish fear of their own emotions will shatter. [b]The Force shall free us[/b] The Power of the Dark Side will free them. They will become Sith. ~~~~~~ [hider=The story to date in a nutshell, according to a Sith] The Jedi temple burned. A glorious sight. Jedi beyond counting were slain, our ships wreaked havoc upon the Republic’s capital. But not all the Jedi were killed. Some were taken captive. The youngest were all sent directly to Korriban, where they would be educated properly. The older ones were transported onto Darth Nyiss’ ship, The Kaggath. There they are in the process of being educated in the ways of Sith, even as they are questioned for whatever secrets they know. Nothing they do will let them get away. Even if they get out, chances are they will die in the desolate wastes of Tatooine before anyone manages to rescue them. Not that they will escape. [/hider] [hider=The Story so far, as the Jedi would see it]Horror. The Sith, always deceitful, struck against Coruscant, destroying our Temple and taking the entire world hostage. What Jedi that were not killed, were taken captive. Intelligence indicates they were taken onto a Sith ship, which departed along the Corellian Run. Potential intel puts the ship as heading towards the outer rim world of Tatooine. Brave knights, led by the Jedi Master Lyric Novan, are there, hoping to track the ship down and rescue the captive Knights and padawans before they fall. At the same time, a droid loyal to the Jedi Knight Xid Terrik is aboard, seeking to provide the Jedi with the means of escape. Unlike all the others, that droid knows that the Kaggath’s tractor beam emitters are down for maintenance, providing the avenue of escape the captives sorely need.

It has been running for over nine months. But don’t be afraid of joining in. Just because a lot has happened, there’s nothing preventing you from joining in at this point or in the future. [Sub]Seeing how this RP (obviously) isn’t property of Disney, it is clearly not Canon, but we will still hold it to what we call “plausible canon”. You don’t see teenage masters of the seven lightsaber combat forms or Sith who can juggle dreadnaughts without breaking a sweat, but there is still considerable room for exploration without going to extremes like those.[/Sub] Right now, we most of all seek Sith apprentices with a nice mix of flaws and skills, who all seek to earn Darth Nyiss’ favor, for although she is not favored by the Dark Council, none can deny her power. If you think you have what it takes, feel free to drop by the [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/81070-coruscant-sacked-aftermath/ooc]OoC[/url] and/or the [url=http://chat.mibbit.com/?channel=%23aftermath&server=irc.foonetic.net]IRC[/url]. [center][hider=Expectancies] While we would like those interested to have a reasonable level of writing skill, we are not as strict as some advanced RPs. What you achieve with what you write is what matters, not how much you write. The goal is to tell a story, not to “win”. We tend to be strict on CSs, but gentler so long as you behave yourself IC (and OoC). Similarly, we do not demand that you’ve memorized wookieepedia or somesuch nonsense. It is your will to learn more if you know less that matters. If there’s lore you’re uncertain about, we’ve got players with numerous areas of expertise when it comes to lore, and they’re all willing to help.[/hider][/center] Now, any questions?
