The Galactic Empire reigns supreme, the Emperor's firm grasp holding the galaxy tight. For years they have ruled, putting down and oppressing any they see fit. Rumors of a rebellion have sparked, but these words are but passing whispers.

The Empire's elite and feared STORMTROOPERS patrol the galaxy, keeping order on hundreds of planets. Everyday dozens of men and women enlist in hopes of joining the hallowed ranks of the galaxy's finest.

A highly trained squad of soldiers have been assigned to patrol the unpredictable Outer Rim of the galaxy. Little do they know a seemingly mundane deployment is about to become far more....




"In the past, we'd secretly enjoyed putting down a local insurrection or two. They kept the troops sharp and the Empire feared, but these Rebels were different. They were organized, they were growing, and they were everywhere."

The year is 5 BBY, 15 years have passed since the fall of the Galactic Republic. It is the age of the Empire. The Separatists and their leaders have been crushed, and have returned to the fold of the Empire. Only minor pockets of resistance remain. The Jedi traitors have been purged from the Galaxy. It is the age of the Empire. It is the age of peace, law and order.

We are the Emperor's fist. We patrol the Galaxy enforcing peace on planets that would otherwise be a chaotic mess. We are the first ones in the thick of battle when the Emperor's enemies rear their ugly heads. We face the enemy when they are at their strongest, and we don't stop until we achieve our objective. We are the Empire's finest. We are the Stormtrooper Corps.

Welcome to the 121st Battalion, trooper. Specializing in enforcing martial law, domestic subservience, quelling uprisings, "adjusting" governments, or even toppling civilizations, the 121st is a military division of the STC that largely patrols the Outer Rim. The 121st is a dreaded sight for any world to have the misfortune of harboring anti-imperial sentiment.​



OOC Info


Welcome to the Beat, a Star Wars roleplay centered around the Empire's greatest soldiers. This is a reboot of the original RP, which was previously created by @vietmyke and which I co-GMed.

This RP centers are a player character filled squad of Stormtroopers. Everyone will be a human of course, and majority of the squad will be enlisted (non-clones). There may be one or two cloned soldiers, depending on what the squad composition is like. Each trooper will have a role within the squad. Players are encouraged to create interesting, complex characters. The RP will be set in the early days of the Rebellion, as the plot progresses our Stormtroopers will be dragged into the conflict further and further, presenting all sorts of plot twists, choices and developments.

Our characters will face daunting challenges, testing their willpower and strength, as well as their morals as they are pushed to their absolute limits in this RP that shows us the perspective of the "bad guys". I want this RP to really show the Empire's finest, their sacrifices and duties and that they're not just faceless baddies for the 'good guys' to kill.

Rules

1. Follow all the site's rules.
2. The usual, no godmodding, metagaming, mary sues, gary stus, etc, etc.
3. This is an advanced level RP, so IC posts should hold up to this standard. I prefer quality > quantity, but a few solid paragraphs per post is great.
4. Please roleplay in 3rd person, it's a pet peeve of mine.
5. Characters can die. Your characters are not invulnerable. While I'd like to avoid killing off player characters when they don't want them to die, stupid acts may result in death.
6. Original characters only. Everyone plays a human stormtrooper, no Jedi, Sith or Mandalorians.
7. Be mindful of your fellow players, please don't be an asshole.
8. To show you've actually read these rules please put 'Imperius Unitada ober Totallex' at the bottom of your CS.
9. Join the Discord chat. Its free and makes communication that much easier.
10. By joining this RP you acknowledge that GM's (and any co-GM's) word is law. I am also open to input on anything you feel may make the RP more enjoyable.



Character Creation


Being a part of the galaxy's finest soldiers is no easy task. At this point most of the Stormtroopers ranks are composed of enlisted, non-clone soldiers. The remaining clones are aged, though some do still exist in the ranks. For an appropriately aged Imperial citizen in the galaxy to become a Stormtrooper they must follow several ground rules:

  • All Stormtroopers are humans, aliens are an extreme rarity within the Galactic Empire. Imperial propaganda actively supported state-sponsored ethnocentric xenophobia and fear-mongering. While not every character will be racist towards aliens, it is likely that at least a few will be.
  • Women were a rarity in the Stormtrooper ranks, but some female troopers did exist. Imperial women seeking to become Stormtroopers have to pass the same fitness and endurance tests as male recruits.
  • Characters are likely to hold pro Imperial views (this may change as the RP progresses). To become a Stormtrooper one has to be very, very committed to doing so. It's akin to joining the Navy Seals. You wouldn't join that if you disliked America and weren't all in to join. The extreme amount of Imperial propaganda in the Imperial Academies is another important factor to note, as well as younger characters who were educated on Imperial worlds.
  • Individuality is something that is wiped away in Imperial Academies, Stormtroopers operate as elite teams, like a well oiled machine. Each character in the squad has a role, and is expected to perform that role as well as possible. The following are some roles characters may choose:


  • The squad is led by a single sergeant (played by @Heat, their second in command is a corporal, though there may be two depending on squad composition. Below them the rest of the squad is made up of privates (trooper rank). Our squad is a part of a larger platoon (the 1st) which is a part of a larger Company (Bravo Company) which is a part of the 121st Battalion.

Oh neat I can dig this. I need to do some quick research since I'm not too familiar with the non-movie stuff outside of the Battlefront 2 game. I was thinking of making a rifleman. We don't need to strictly adhere to the roles you suggested though, do we? You do get final say in everything though.

I've spent a few years in an Infantry Platoon...Several actually. People do move around. No one stays in the same slot for very long. But, you got to start somewhere.

So, because we are lacking a Marksman, might i ask for the chance to play a grizzled old Clone who, although he's not as fast as he used to be, has sharp enough eyes to be able to perform his duty to his Emperor.
