A long time ago, in a Galaxy Far, Far Away...


The Republic has fallen. The Jedi Order has been destroyed in the wake of Order 66. Through all of this, a mysterious figure appeared looming over his shoulder. A man in dark robes, a faceless veil. New technologies unveiled faster more powerful ships with shields unlike any the Galaxy has ever seen. As Clone Troopers are phased out to the new Stormtrooper more and more take on black armour that seems to be impervious to all attack. The Empires grip on the Galaxy is absolute, there appears to be no hope for those wishing for freedom.

That is until all throughout the Multiverse a power unknown to beings of the lesser planes decides that it can no longer stand by while this untold power threatens the very balance of all things. A blinding flash of light and a myriad of vessels from different universe appear stranded in deep space.





OOC Bit:

A Battlestar, Goa'uld Ha'tak, Paris-Class Frigate, Milano and a Cross-field Class wander into a bar...

Basically, this Roleplay will be a Story set in the Star Wars Universe, with some key differences. A mysterious figure is working with Palpatine, giving him access to technologies and information that he didn't have in the normal continuity. This increase in power changes the rise of the Empire from a gradual struggling with remaining Separatist Cells to a sure-fire win. Rather than the political wrangling, Palpatine expected, with access to this new technology his grip on the galaxy is absolute.

Depending on the size of the group we'll all start in the same area of space, will we fight, will we band together, will we flee? There's only one way to find out! There's not much more I need to say.

Other than it's going to be pretty Sandbox, you can go where you want in the Galaxy. Be warned, however, whatever cosmic force brought us to the Star Wars galaxy seems unwilling to let us go until whatever issue it sensed is resolved.




Rules:

1. GMs rule is law.
2. If PvP results in a dispute GMs will decide on the outcome.
3. The usual rules. No Powergaming/Metagaming/Smut.
4. Respect your other players.
5. Have Fun




Applying:

As mentioned in the IntChk different ships have different power levels. This is because different ships from different franchises are set in different eras and with different problems to solve. I.E. In W40k, they have the ability to glass planets, yet in Stargate the human ships are only made possible by the reverse engineering, studying and help from alien allies.

It's important to note that the main reason the CS exists is to determine whether or not your ship will fit into the roleplay. This is up to the discretion of the GMs. Feel free to fluff the CS up as much as you want.

I'll start working on a ship. I'd like to go for a Kryptonian gunship, but there isn't lots of specific info on those.

Well I've decided on an Aurora Class Lantean Battleship from Stargate.

you still can. As a matter of fact, I still hope someone makes a ship piloted by a System Lord just for the drama it will undoubtedly create.

I know I can, after all I am the GM 😅. It's whether or not I want too. I mean at the end of the day the crew of the 304 would know what the Aurora was. And be all like 'Oh hey it's you guys!' meanwhile the crew of the Aurora would be all like 'so what universe are you from?'

Well it will be a completely different ship and crew, but I see what you mean.

Well Aurora class is what I'm getting at. Any 304 crew would recognise it as a Lantaen vessel. Whereas they wouldn't recognize a 304 as the future.

I'm going to throw my sheet up, whatever if may be, tomorrow.

I will start working on something. I will have to take some artistic liberties and do some digging. I want to do something from the Twilight Imperium universe. Maybe and executive research vessel?

Hmm... The Aurora class isn't that bad. It has ridiculous shielding and the drones could annihilate just about anything but... The Aurora wouldn't be able to replenish its drones. I'd also hope to avoid having a ZPM unless we find a good story reason to have it. (Like at some point an antagonist steals it)

The real problem would be the Ancients themselves. We know little of their culture and their science- well, they know how how everything works!

I'd recommend an old Aurora class ship inhabited by "The Travelers" or SGC personnel. I'd further suggest the Travelers since they could work well with those aboard the BC-304 since the SGC/Atlantean personnel would know how to use their ship better than the travellers would.

If it was ancients the way I'd have to see it done is a skeleton crew. Rather than a fully fledged crew with scientists capable of who knows what.

Well the ship can have a minimum of one crew member according to the wiki. I could do that. Maybe have a mutiny take place where the former captain jettisoned the crew into deep space in order to save his/her ship and life.

It's the benefit of Lantaen interface tech. You can have one person piloting the ship but then repair is hard. Also if you want reasons. You can always have a deserter from the Lantaen/Wraith war or someone being all heroic.

Edit: tired, on phone and gaming. Which is why I'm kinda skipping words and putting sentences together in a weird order.

Eh, don't worry about it. I do the same late<---{Like here} most of the time. Also, a deserter might work as well. I could also make it fit with the mutiny thing as well. Maybe he burns all the ZPM modules out by travelling for years to avoid the war, or he sells them to traders for parts and repairs. Something like that. If he has any left, it or they could be burnt out by the time he arrives in the Star Wars verse.

That's the best way I can think of to be a fully functional Aurora without being ridiculously OP.

Thankfully, Lantean ships rarely use ZPMs anyways so you don't need to explain how one isn't present.

The most important thing for any scenario is character interaction and story hooks. The Lantean or Lanteans, if plural, would likely be aloof, condescending and general assholes. That's not to say it's a bad thing. A character arc involving becoming humbled can be quite fascinating.

My suggestion of a Traveler, SGC, or some other race makes for more co-operation. Let me sell you on the Travelers with some spinning. I like the Travelers in particular because they are already a space faring group that could feature people from a dozen different worlds, possible aliens and whatever else you want from across the Andromeda galaxy. If you want, you can even throw in one of Michael's hybrids or one of Todd's wraiths that no longer need to feed, or better yet, feed only when they absolutely need to (or to save a friend's life). Maybe this one has an alternate universe Shepard on board who desperately wants to get home to his Atlantis. Maybe there's a rogue Vanir that helps them with engineering aboard complete with power suit!

Maybe there's a couple Jumpers, a few darts and maybe even a couple of old salvaged junkers belonging to long dead civilizations in the three docking bays.

A solid suggestion, but I have already decided to go with a Lantean character as captain of the craft. Not sure if I want others aboard the ship, I might considering how difficult it would be for just one person to fix and maintain the whole ship by him/herself, but that would mean even more characters to develop and create. Something I really don't need too much more of at the moment given the other roleplays I'm in or running both in PM's and elsewhere. It may sound strange, but I'm better at developing singular characters rather than many. I do thank you for the advice though, as it does provide very interesting avenues for development and conflict, but I think only having one character aboard the ship would be easier for me to handle.

And given this characters backstory, once I get round to it, he may be proud but he/she will have an event in his/her past, before coming to the star wars universe, that will provide a crack in his/her well constructed and haughty armor.
