IC information and scroll:

Following the Rebel Alliance's victory at the Battle of Endor and the death of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, riots and uprisings took place on a multitude of Imperial-held worlds, as the news spread across the galaxy. Even Palpatine's homeworld of Naboo could not escape a liberation struggle. On Coruscant, billions revelled in their newfound freedom, and riots broke out from the non-Human-dominated sectors in which all Imperial patrols were attacked in the streets. Statues of Palpatine were toppled and other Imperial symbols were desecrated by those non-human minorities that had been savagely oppressed.

In the midst of all the celebrating and rioting, Imperial authorities ordered a massive crackdown on the rebellious elements in the city-planet's population and gave full power to the local military force to end the uprising and restore order to the system. The military retaliation was horrendous and the death-tolls rose as the Empire struck down the insurrectionists and brought the populace back under its control. Following this, control over Coruscant was again restored.

However, Emperor Palpatine's death provoked a crisis of leadership within the Empire: Palpatine had never laid down a succession plan, and various individuals and organisations alike now lock eyes onto the tasty prize that is the Imperial throne. A temporary Ruling Council was established, but held little real power. Wary of further Rebel strikes against key targets, the Ruling Council adopted a fortress world strategy, fortifying key systems. This left the Rebellion, swiftly reconstituted as the Alliance of Free Planets, largely unopposed. Additionally, this defensive strategy caused many of the Empire's most ambitious Moffs and governors to think only of the safety of their homeworlds and power bases, causing them to de facto break with the Ruling Council and become the first ‘warlords’.

Did the Rebels truly defeat Palpatine’s Empire at the Battle of Endor? Remnants of the Empire surely remain. What fate awaits the disintegrated Galaxy now, with a fledgling Alliance trying to maintain order?

OOC information:

This will be a nation rp. I’m sure most of you have already been in one before. If you like manoeuvring your little pawns in a political game of intrigue and shadowplay, you’ve come to the right place. The setting will be low-fantasy with predominately human civilisations.

I reserve the right to suggest amendments to your nation and/or character sheets in order to balance the game. You should work with what you can realistically have, not with everything you wished for. I understand that might sound a bit arbitrary, but I hope you trust me to keep fairness in play. Not to say I am unreasonable and will not work things out with a player. All in all I want to avoid unsurmountalbe "God Nations".

As said, I want every participant to be realistic in both their nations, as well as their characters' personalities, traits (AND flaws) and ambitions as well as take external and internal developments into account. No nation will be entirely self-sufficient or all-powerful. Interaction is encouraged. As a rule, consider tech-level to be at the time of the Battle of Endor (4ABY). Concerning the timing of the RP, we pick-up shortly after Palpatine and Vader’s deaths and prior to the invasions of the Sri-Ruuvi, Nagai and Tof (let’s keep those extra-galactics where they are).

Focus of the RP is not to lose ourselves in game mechanics, instead this is a game of logic, reason and collaborative writing. Our goal is not to have an overly competitive game, but to immerse into a nice creative experience for all parties. We write a story with each other, not against each other. Does that mean there will not be any competition? No, but keep it civil and reasonable. War makes for an excellent story, but let us not limit ourselves to that.

Concerning Force Users and canon characters; feel free to pick up a canon character, but I suggest you create an original one. While canon chars are great to base your own nation’s personalities on, they do put a potential strain on the RP. Luke Skywalker, Leia, Han,… these are such influential individuals that practically shape the events of the universe themselves, therefore I they are barred from play. However, you are not limited to play a wayward Moff or warlord. The way I see it we take the Star Wars galaxy post-original trilogy and populate it with characters of our own. Whether that be a Hutt, a pirate lord, Imperial or Rebel, or an independent individual capitalising on the collapse of the Empire. I do, however, hope that we have a few Imperial Warlords ready to step up to the plate. While force sensitive people, attuned to the Force are naturally around, you have to keep in mind that they are unpracticed and cannot control their powers. In general, I'd say they are regular individuals with a higher lucky streak than normal, for the Sith were destroyed, and Luke is the only 'Jedi' we know of.

Rules:

• GM word is final.
• Advanced standards; common sense approach; game of logic and collaboration.
• Sheets should be posted on the OOC (though they can be sent via pm as well) for approval/disapproval. Not all decisions will be made public.
• Play to enjoy, not to win.
• Adhere to the Star Wars feel.
• Massively powerful Star Wars characters are not available to the players (Luke, Leia, Han, Lando,…) Original player characters are encouraged.
• You are assumed to be an adult by submitting a nation/character for this game; please act like one.
• Applications may take a few days before a decision can be made. Generally, issues will be resolved over pm.
• Players are encouraged to play typically one-on-one scenarios, large battle scenarios, cloak-and-dagger scenarios, small plots and large plots. To be creative, and to interactive with their fellow players on their own to plot. Take initiative but don't be a dick.
• 'Meta-gaming' is evil (just don't be a-holes).
• Tech levels are variable and based on canon SW-lore. Super Star-Destroyers and massive battle stations (e.g. Death Star) are not in use. Experienced Force Users are off-limits I'm afraid.
• More rules can be added per GM leisure.

Military Creation Guidelines:

Depending on your faction and nation build-up, your tactics and doctrines will differ. The Rebel Alliance for instance has to rely on a strong, experienced core of veterans employing hit-and-run tactics trying to strike as hard as they can, as fast as they can. Any loss of men, equipment or ships shall be keenly felt. In terms of numbers, the Alliance is woefully outmatched by the Imperial Army, but is nevertheless a strong adversary. Unlike the Empire, they need not patrol and police millions of systems, forcing them to spread out their forces. They were organised into cells, and thus up until recently did not control entire planets. At the start of the RP, the Alliance is only just forming into something that can be called a governed state.

Eventually, I suppose, this will come down to numbers. Some looking around on the web got me these totals as a basis to work from. I admit my research might not be bulletproof or drawn from only canon-sources, but it will serve well enough for what we want to do here. The most important thing to take from the following sources, is that there are 7 ships available per planet; a plausible and manageable number. These ships can range from corvettes to battlecruisers.

Imperial Order of Battle, good for basing your trooper and equipment/apparel total on.

Imperial Starfleet Numbers

number crunch

Totals for the Imperial Starfleet:
3,200 Mobile Deepdocks,
192,000 Very Heavy Repair Ships
3,616,000 Noncombatant resupply ships
384,006 Torpedo Sphere
276,395,200 (Or 351,395,200)Corvettes/Gunships/Light Frigates 101-449 meters long
231,000,000 (Alternatively: 306,000,000) Non-hyperdrive equipped light picket ships
19,043,200 Heavy Frigates/Light Destroyers 450-1,000 meters long
2,153,000 Heavy Destroyers 1,001-1,600 meters long
5,000 Light/Medium Cruisers 1,601 meters long to 4,999 meters long;
5,000 Heavy Cruisers / Battlecruisers /Carriers/Battleships/Commandships
5,000 meters to 17,600+ meters long (Estimated max superlaser equipped: 250; Percentage of known Executors against Eclipses/Sovereigns as a comparison.)
51,000,000 multipurpose defence stations
2,000,000 Golan-III Battlestations
Unknown number of other support ships / Stations / Outposts/...

This is everything added together, and separated by ship type, as you can see. The total number of combat ships is around: 378,000,000 of all types (Rounded), roughly, plus 306,000,000 Non- hyperspace capable picket ships, still capable of fighting, just no hyperdrives, and some 51,000,000 platforms, plus gods know how many we don't have accurate figures for. Also, around 4,000,000 resupply and support ships that are unarmed, and probably a lot more we have no accurate figures for, and finally 3,200 mobile Deepdocks, plus all the non-mobile construction / repair facilities that we cannot accurately guess of in total numbers.

In a total of all Hyperspace capable combat starships over 100 meters in length, divided among the 51,000,000 inhabited worlds, we get an average of around 7, that's right, only SEVEN ships PER INHABITED PLANET. I hope this gives you a true sense of the scope and scale of the Galactic Empire.

Essentially, the Empire is a MASSIVE organization in terms of pure numbers; But the necessity of guarding 1,000,000 major planets and 50,000,000 minor planets cuts so considerably into these numbers that no more than on the order of 25,000 destroyers, 5,000 cruisers, and 5,000 capital ships, supported by 6 mobile bombardment platforms, could be used for an invasion, or rallied in one place to stop one. This is probably the fleet under Vader's command that was far-flung throughout the galaxy looking for the Rebels; He likely chose one region of space for himself, with the Grand Admirals taking the others, or administrating the Starfleet, which is unlikely considering it is an asset for the Military Governors.

After the collapse of the Empire, the individual warlord Moffs and their ilk took control of the portions of the Starfleet and fought to the death, while the Grand Admirals also turned warlord, and more ships were hidden, abandoned or lost, explaining the destruction of this once awesome fleet, through fratricidal combat and Alliance offensives.

Assemble your Fleet

As said, we will generally be going with 7 ships available per planet. Seeing as size and power differs greatly, let us translate those 7 ships into 7 points. It makes sense after all that different types have different costs.

Corvette – 0.5
Frigate – 2
Cruiser – 3
Heavy Cruiser – 4
Carrier – 5
Star Destroyer – 5
Battlecruiser – 20

Starship Types:

Starships are spacecraft able to traverse star systems using thrusters and drives. While they are capable of reaching individual destinations independently, hyperdrives are the common manner of travel between star systems. Not all ships are outfitted with their own hyperdrives.

Small military vessels exist in a plethora of shapes and sizes, carrying out a variety of duties in any navy. Largely their types can be broken up into five roles, and are considered as combat support craft. These are:

Small Ships

• Fighters - one-man (sometimes two) craft used to perform close-range attacks on enemy ships. (e.g. TIE fighters, X-wing)
• Interceptors - one-man craft optimised for destroying opposing fighters. Fighters and interceptors were sometimes combined roles. (e.g. A-series interceptors)
• Bombers - small craft equipped to bomb planetary or orbital targets. Bombers are also capable of carrying torpedoes that can be fired at enemy starships.
• Multi-purpose – a small craft designed to combine a number of roles, keeping the middle between a fighter and bomber, effectively becoming a torpedo-boat. These designs are usually slower but more heavily armoured than their single-role counterparts (e.g. Skipray Blastboat).
• Shuttles facilitate personnel transfer between large ships without the need to dock, or between a starship and the ground. Some shuttles have been adjusted to carry out boarding actions.

Military vessels are generally divided into two groups: small and large ships, each with its own sub-division. Be advised that names can be misleading concerning ship classes. For example, the Carrack-class ‘light cruiser’ is designated as a frigate. Another example would be the lengthy Vigil-class which is actually a corvette in spite of meeting the length requirements to be classified as a frigate. Victory-class Star Destroyers are, in spite of their call-name, too small to be classified as true star destroyers. Ship-types can be moved up and down the ladder according to armament, role and size. There is a particular overlap with the corvette, frigate and cruiser size brackets. Depending on its equipment, ships like the Acclamator-class assault ship can be considered a (heavy) cruiser, troop-transport or carrier.

We shall try to follow the Anaxes War College System that classifies according to ship length. When checking this list, be wary of the year of introduction of the ships (the RP kicks-off at the end of 4ABY).

Large ships

• Corvette - The corvette is a class of warship. They are typically small, fast, maneuverable and relatively lightly-armed. Generally large enough to be considered a capital ship but smaller than a frigate, corvettes fill a variety of roles that range from picket duty within large fleets to system defense, anti-starfighter role, and convoy escort. Corvettes are used to perform several combat and survey missions. Oft-times they act as screens for the heavier models. Corvettes can be adapted to a variety of roles. Some examples would be the Rebel Alliance CR-90 model, or the Imperial Raider-class and Vigil-class.
• Frigate - Frigates are light escort and scouting vessels. They often have extensive guardian systems to provide anti-fighter screening for capital ships, and carry a squad of marines for security and groundside duty. Unlike larger vessels, frigates are able to land on planets. The most important roles filled by frigates is reconnaissance and support. Frigates are equipped with extensive and sensitive sensors in order to detect stealthed enemies. They also have proportionally larger thrusters and lighter design mass, allowing them greater maneuverability than larger ships. In combat, speed and maneuverability make frigates largely immune to long-range fire of larger vessels. In fleet combat, frigates are occasionally organized into "wolf pack" flotillas of four to six. Wolf packs speed through enemy formations, hunting enemy vessels whose kinetic barriers have been taken down by fighter-launched disruptor torpedoes. The wolf pack circle-strafes vulnerable targets, using their superior speed and maneuverability to evade return fire. They are designed to serve in a skirmishing role to protect larger ships, or more generally, a ship designed to serve in some sort of support role. Due to their strong HoloNet and communication links, they are sometimes favoured as command ships over larger ships. Some prominent examples include the Corellian DP20, the Nebulon-B frigate, Mon Calamari MC-30 and similar MC-designs, as well as the Imperial Class II frigate.
• Cruiser - Cruisers are middle-weight combatants, faster than star-destroyers, and more heavily-armed than frigates. Cruisers are the standard patrol unit, and often lead frigate flotillas. Cruisers cannot land on medium or high-gravity worlds, but do possess the ability to land on low-gravity planets. Cruiser-class starships are the standard combat unit encountered away from large naval bases, the "poor bloody infantry" of most fleets. Nimble scouting frigates have neither the punch nor the stamina to stand up to serious combat, and the mighty dreadnoughts are a strategic resource, carefully hoarded and committed to only the most critical of battles since many are out of commission or unfinished. Cruisers perform routine independent "show the flag" patrols in settled systems and lead flotillas of frigates in small engagements, such as pirate suppression campaigns. In major fleet engagements, cruiser squadrons support the battle line by screening their flanks against enemies attempting to maneuver for a main gun "bow shot" from their vulnerable broadsides. Others, such as the Broadside-class were used as missile launchers, surrendering maneuverability for firepower. Additional examples of this size bracket are the Tartan Patrol Cruiser, Guardian-Class, the old Dreadnaught Heavy Cruiser, as well as its modified cousin the Mk. II Assault Frigate, and the Gladiator-Class SD.
• Heavy Cruiser - Heavy Cruisers are those ships with heavier armaments than regular cruisers, and usually have a specialized combat role. Heavy cruisers are often the backbone of any fighting fleet as they fulfill many important roles. Such roles include planetary bombardment, troop transport and ship to ship combat. Interdictors are able to prevent the enemy escaping into hyperspace, but are vulnerable because of their stationary deployment. However, most heavy cruisers are not equipped with starfighters. Therefore, they are in need of smaller support craft like frigates, corvettes and carriers, taking starfighters into battle. Renowned examples are the Imperial Acclamator and Victory-class (I and II), the equally characteristic but more powerful MC80 Liberty-class of the Alliance Fleet.
• Carrier - Carriers are vessels that carry a large number of fighters. All nations provide their fleets with organic fighter support. Cruisers fit a handful in the space between the interior pressure hulls and exterior armor. Star Destroyers and battlecruisers have a hangar deck within the hull. Larger cruisers can often be designated as carriers, sacrificing armor and firepower in favor hangar space. In fleet combat, carriers stay clear of battle, launching fighters and bombers bearing disruptor torpedoes. Fighters are the primary striking power of the ship; if a carrier enters firing range of the enemy, things have gone very wrong. It is possible to recover and rearm fighters during combat, though most carriers seal the flight deck and try to stay out of the way. The flight deck is essentially a corridor through the armor and into the heart of the vessel. A single well-placed torpedo is often enough to gut a carrier. Some prime examples of specialized carriers are the Imperial Ton-Falk Carrier and impressive Secutor-Class Star Destroyer, or the cargo-freighter turned carrier Quasar Fire-class.
• Star Destroyer - Star Destroyers, named for their purported capacity of destroying entire star systems, were the most recognizable ship class within the Imperial Navy. In the Imperial-class's case, they were the Imperial I-class Star Destroyers and the Imperial II-class Star Destroyers. Each variant had some improvements to their predecessors, such as the Imperial II-class carrying ion-cannons. The Imperial-class before the Galactic Empire had been known as the Imperator-class. The Rebel Alliance couterparts for the Star Destroyer class would be large cruisers such as the Dauntless-Class, patched up Venators or stolen Imperial vessels. The outdated Venator-class vessels was used by the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance alike. Rare Mon Calamari models such as the MC80 Home One Type could also measure up to Imperial Star Destroyers.
• Battlecruiser - Battlecruisers and battleships are commonly the largest and most powerful craft in a fleet. There are only a few battlecruisers in use at any given time due to their sheer size and cost to produce as well as maintain. Massive ships, these can be seen as the high-end apparel of any military force, and an unofficial precursor to the freakish dreadnought classes. The Empire usually employed outdated types such as the Praetor Mark II-class or the privately constructed Tagge Battlecruiser, both reminiscent of smaller, more manageable Star Destroyer designs. The Rebel Alliance fielded the giant Bulwark Mk. III, first used by the Techno Union during the Clone Wars.
• Dreadnoughts – off-limits for now.

Hutts

General

Nation name: Hutt Cartel
Government type: Ruling Council
Flag/emblem:

Image

Description: The Hutt Cartel is one of the longest surviving organizations within the Galaxy. They have seen Empires come and go, watched Republics fall and crumble and have seen the Jedi and Sith wiped out several times in their long reign. They are a universal constant, as is their right. Highly egotistical they control all of Hutt Space via a ruling council of the most powerful Hutts.

Hutt space itself is split up among the leaders of the ruling council, Nal Hutta acting as the centre for all Hutt operations and a world in which none of them have individual claim. Hutt space itself isn't unified with each Hutt having their own holdings and the only real unity coming from deals made between individual Hutts or with the ruling of the Hutt Council. That said while they can sometimes appear to be fractured within their borders they have large enough forces to easily deal with outside threats. This is aided by the extensive criminal network they have throughout the Galaxy including underground contacts and largely unknown hyperspace routes.

Economy:

• Spice: Spice is one of the main economic incomes for the Hutt Cartel. The narcotic and mind altering substance comes in many forms, and is addictive. Some variations legal, some illegal. The more potent varieties being illegal in most star systems yet selling for a higher price and the Hutts more or less control the market making them very wealthy.
• Slaves: While the Republic had issues with the use of Slaves the Empire did not. The Hutts again control a majority of the slave trade from slaves for pleasure to work with far less restrictions in Hutt space dealing with gaining the possession of another sentient species and the trade of said species. This is paired with their "Training" and "Confinement" techniques to make their slaves some of the most sought after.
• Raw Resources: Thanks to the slave trade the Hutts can easily gather their resources for a low price, unlike droids there is very little in terms of maintenance costs. This allows for cheap resource gathering, that can be sold for a "reasonable" market price.
• Black Market: Like a lot of the Hutt income a large portion of it comes from outside of Hutt Space. Their influence spanning a galaxy and covering it with crime. They use their secret networks to smuggle slaves, weapons, ships, artifacts and pretty much anything of worth all over the galaxy to sell. Their influence is impossible to miss, yet it is still difficult to pin any illegal dealings to them.
• Information: Such a network picks up facts from time to time, informants hear things and people trade secrets. Hutt palaces are treasure troves of such secrets and are available, for a price.
• Manufacturing: While they haven't got any of the big company names Hutt space is able to kick out enough in terms of manufactured vehicles, weapons and ships to turn a profit.

Demographics:

• Hutts: The Hutts are actually not all that common. Spanning in numbers to mere thousands. However they rule the Hutt Space and the operations of the Cartel throughout the Galaxy.
• Residents: The Large number of residents of Hutt Space are split within three groups. First there are the criminals who remain there willingly, second there are the slaves who have no choice. Then there are those that are too poor to leave and forced to become criminals (or slaves) in order to survive.
• Species: It is impossible to get a count on the different species within Hutt space, however the Hutts themselves are easily the smallest demographic and yet they hold all the power.

Institutions:

• Clans: Different Clans and different families exist within Hutt space, with the most powerful easily being the Desilijic clan. Each Hutt runs their own operations, quite often working with their clan and with rivalries to other clans. The Hutt council itself is lead by the most influential Hutts and only really has authority in being the most powerful Hutts. The more influential Hutts get to run their own operations and own star systems, whereas those of lesser status are in servitude to those with more power.
• Bounty Hunter Guild: While the Hutt Cartel does not run the Bounty Hunter guild over the years they have formed a respectful relationship. Giving each other whatever they need to survive.
• Black Market: As indicated above the Hutts control the black market, and it is easily their most profitable institution.

Notable Locations:

• Nal Hutta: Jewel of all of Hutt Space. The slime covered planet is capital of the Hutt Domain and as equally crime infested.
• Nar Shadda: The criminal world of Coruscant is in the undercity, so imagine what a urbanized moon in orbit of Nal Hutta is like. Despite the rampart crime, and the inability to walk five feet without seeing what in Imperial Space would be a fellon it is an important hubb for criminals and those looking for work.
• Godsheart: The Pulsar stars system is home to an advanced research facility, and is a place of worship for most Hutts who believe it lead them to Nal Hutta and watch closely to it's pulses to decipher any possible messages.
• Klatooine: While Nal Hutta is the centre off Hutt Space and argueably the slime encrusted heart Klatooine is currently the head, home to Riibbo the Hutt who lives in his recently completed palace.

Astrography - Planet and/or Sector list:

• Hutt Sector

Other:

• Unity: The Hutts are controlled by a council of power hungry individuals, the leading member of which is the most powerful. This causes problems in keeping everyone in line and preventing attempts to usurp the leadership.
• Military: The military aren't exactly willing to die for a cause such as the armies of the Alliance of Free Systems or Galactic Empire.
• Criminals: While there is some sense of loyalty, and duty. At the end of the day most people here are criminals.

Military:

Organisation: Enlisted/Mercenaries

WIP

• Ex-Imperial Stormtroopers & Ex-Imperial Troops under the command of Grand Moff Vaul.
• Droideka Support: The Hutts still have a large number of Droideka units available to use to support their troops.
• Enlisted: Not all within Hutt Space are criminals, some believe that the Hutts are the ones to rule them properly and offer them protection and some just don't care. That said a large portion of Hutt military are enlistees, trained (though in some cases maybe not to the standards of the Rebellion or Empire) and then sent out to serve the Hutt Cartel in keeping them safe from outside threats and acting as enforcement.
• Slaves: While not all slaves are used in combat some like the Vodrans who have never rebelled and work for the Hutts willingly despite being slaves are some of the best and most reliable forces available to the Hutts.

Army:

WIP

• Vehicles: The Hutts use a wide array of vehicles, tending to stick to light skiffs and repulsor craft when they can.
• Dropships: The Hutt Cartel do possess some older Clone Wars era LAATs from when the Imperials abandoned old unnecessary bases, as well as many old CIS models.
• Equipment: While the Hutts can't easily reproduce Walkers and some of the more modern Imperial technologies they are good with weapons. Typically keeping the most powerful weapons for themselves, or customers with plenty of credits to spare, their army is well equipped in comparison to some outer rim Imperial garrisons or Rebel forces.

Navy:

WIP

Most fighters used are the HH-87 SkyHopper, however some of the older Clone War era ships still have working Z-95, Arc-170s, Vulture droids, etc.

Strategic resources:

• Nar Shadda: If you can't find it anywhere else, you can find it on Nar Shadda.
• Shipyards: Nothing near the scale of Kuat, Corellia, Fondor etc. but Hutt Space does have it's own shipyards, though nothing capable of throwing out anything bigger than a heavy cruiser.
• Easy Black Market Access: You never know what you might need...
• Slaves: While you can get these in other areas of space the Hutt Sector easily has the easiest access and the most.

Other:

• Bounty Hunter Guild/Mercanaries: The Hutts have strong ties to mercenary groups and the Bounty Hunter Guild meaning that if they need to they can bolster their forces quickly with elite troops, for a price.

@LordZell

Perhaps you've glossed over the OOC information section, but I rather move away from canon characters. Some issues I have with Zsinj (which are not unsurmountable though ;) ): the size of his 'Empire' and the fact he has access to dreadnought-class size ships. Those large vessels are something I've decided not to put in this RP simply because of their sheer power. However, if you are simply wishing to play the persona of Zsinj, I can't say no.

Basically run something by me/us when you're in doubt as to that it belongs here. Best advise I can give you is to just stick to the movies, hence why I have this kick off at 4/5ABY.

[Sini]

Name: High Admiral Kaul Bylvers

Race:Human (Corulag)
Age: 29

Personality:

Pragmatic and ruthless, Kaul enjoys taking calculated risks, which has earned him a reputation of tactical brilliance. He is aware, however, that he lacks the certain military genius some believe him to have and tries to compensate this by extensive study of both history, strategic codices, and works of military theory. The new tactics he and others of his generation employ, have led to the older rank and file to consider him unorthodox and dangerous. Not seeing the calculation behind his decisions, Kaul has more than once been condemned for a dangerous brute. This stumping of his ambitions fuelled his rancour towards the old guard.

Though indeed no stranger to brutality, Kaul has come to consider it –and his notoriously savage rages- as a tool, one of the personal weapons in his arsenal. Alternatively imposing or charming, his quick mind always usually resorts to violence of a psychological sort, whereas previously his abuse was considerably more traditional. His intelligence and impressive rhetorical skills allowed him to ascend the Imperial hierarchy in spite of opposition of more conservative superiors. Indeed, Kaul’s true talents lie within the fields of organisation and oratory, both of which spill over into tactics and inspiring the troops. While not an impressive pilot, Kaul Bylvers is apt at handling his men.

Admiral Bylvers is loyal to the Army and the Fleet as prestigious institutions, seeing them as the best bet to ensure the Empire’s survival. Additionally, he is grateful for the lessons his military career has taught him. Most importantly for tempering his ferocity and enabling his guile, recognising self-restraint was the truest mark of a man. This insight has, nonetheless, led to a lot of pent up frustration and aggression.

Palpatine and Vader might be gone, but the order and honour of the imperium will live on. As a military man he has a duty to uphold, though he is recently in dubio as to what this duty exactly is and to whom his allegiance belongs. In this time of chaos, Kaul adheres to the values of discipline, efficiency and respect and trusts these will maintain stability.

History & Background:

Born just before the start of the Clone Wars (25BBY), Kaul grew up as a child of Emperor Palpatine’s New Order. For Kaul Bylvers, violence was an exquisitely effective, practical means toward attaining a desired end. His introduction to its virtues came during his childhood, when he was forced to burn down alien farmlands with his intolerant father on Corulag. Bylvers senior was a man whose drive and ambition exceeded his qualities, which turned him into a pathetic figure in Kaul’s later years.

Initially, being younger than ten years of age, Kaul had trouble with placing the wanton viciousness towards non-humans his family exposed him to. Despite his clearly racist upbringing, he took a more pragmatic approach towards employing violence. Especially after his own record started to outshine his unapologetic speciesist father. Nevertheless, Kaul was foisted with his sire’s aspirations for political and military prestige.

Then, in his Imperial Academy days attending the Corulag Imperial Military Academy, competing in the close-combat arena, his brutality earned him accolades as the intramural champion. His military education provided him with much needed refinement, the discipline giving him the means to shackle his early-taught ruthlessness, encouraging the increasingly pragmatic view of life he was adopting. The young Corulag native later transferred to nearby Anaxes, as to receive further formation at the War College there.

Shortly after his graduation, Kaul broke entirely with the idea of ‘high-human culture’, deciding being a proper and loyal Imperial had little to do with one’s racial background. In such a colourful universe, that was a reality one could not aspire to. Uniformity would not be lost. Instead, he measured others by their devotion to the New Order, as well as their skill and efforts in pursuit of their goals.

His initial deployment saw him hunting seditionist cells throughout the Mid and Outer Rim. He was dismayed by the outcome of the Battle of Yavin 4, and had the greatest trouble giving credence to the efficiency of the Rebel Offensive ensuing it. Large chunks of Mid Rim territory were lost to the Rebel Alliance, and pirate raids were able to pierce through the Imperial defence lines. Given insufficient means to repel either Rebels or pirates, Kaul Bylvers nevertheless managed to pull several victories out of the fires engulfing the Mid Rim.

In 3ABY, Kaul participated in the Battle of Hoth, serving under Admiral Piett who had orders to sequester the system. Captaining his Victory II-class, Kaul was commended for his service. Supposedly the apex of his career on the front lines, he was shortly after recalled to the Galactic Core on baseless charges. By now it was becoming increasingly clear to the young officer, that Palpatine was taking leave of reality, letting sycophants and libellers call the shots. Kaul Bylvers felt cheated from his deserved glory, being redeployed in safe sectors for patrol duty; something he saw as little more than forced retirement.

However much he hated policing docile systems, he remained diligent in his tasks, and even put down an uprising and thwarted a Rebel deep strike directed at the energy-supply world of Sarapin. This new mandate, though, would not last very long.

For Kaul Bylvers, following the Emperor’s fatality at Endor, he was shocked at the almost total collapse of the Imperial chain of command. In the ensuing chaos, many Imperials turned on one another, resulting in a disastrous loss of apparel, personnel, ships and cohesion. Nevertheless, the debacle at Endor increased the need of competent officers, and so the fracturing of the Galactic Empire also opened higher tier ranks for capable women.

After a profound purge of Sector Zero’s officer’s cadre, Kaul found himself promoted from Senior Captain to Fleet Admiral. A failed stunt by his predecessor saw him elevated again, to High Admiral. This supposed recognition of his talents by the newly proclaimed Grand Moff Vel, illustrates the need for competent officers in the higher echelons of command post-Endor. These promotions brought with them a ship transfer, leaving Kaul in command of his own Praetor Mark II-battlecruiser.

Bylver’s primary loyalty being to the fleet, he had little difficulty in making the switch to serving the Grand Moff Dashara Vel’s Imperial faction. Kaul believed strongly in the ability of the Empire, and especially its military, to bring order and stability where the Rebel Alliance and New Republic could not. A former Ace Pilot and strong supporter of the Fleet, she represents the best choice for a continued Imperial state.

Probably a better list for your other worlds. The current list you have has planets all over the place with planets in the gaps. This gives you a little circle of space and then a little bit more. Three more and you could have an arm to bastion if you wanted.
