The Sith have troopers, and Earth has soldiers besides STF. The Jedi on the other hand came somewhat unprepared. There's maybe a hundred Jedi, and the crew of the ship they brought.
The STF and the Jedi are in a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" sort of position. The STF and Earth's other militaries make up the largest part of the planet's defense against he Sith.
The Jedi consider STF to be borderline Darkside, however galactic exploration law forbids them from actively influencing the ideology of newly discovered planets. That doesn't stop them from trying to teach their own doctrine when STF members and Jedi are on missions together.
After some negotiation, the Jedi have been permitted to train young Human children in the ways of the Force. They are, however, not permitted to take them away, or to use them on missions. All training is done in special classes in schools. Unfortunately for the Jedi, the Sith have already ruined any trust and goodwill that the Humans might have had for aliens. Upon turning sixteen, however, it has been agreed that a Human can make the choice to permanently join the Jedi order.
CS, feel free to fill it out and post it here. Please don't get offended if I knit pick in the beginning, as there are still ideas in my head that I haven't articulated for you fine folks.
Name:
Age: The Sith and Jedi have any age(though Human Jedi must be sixteen), STF only accepts people age eighteen or older.
Species: STF is all human, the other two, all species are fair game(unless you come up with one I think is unfair in some way).
Faction:
Rank:(Jedi have Padawan-Knight-Master and Sith have Acolyte-Lord. STF use normal human military ranks.STF have an automatic officer designation of Second Lieutenant or higher).
Appearance: I love pictures, personally. Anything goes, however, as long as you describe your character in some way.
I actually do not ask for bio or personality. Both can be expounded upon in character. Just don't over-use expositionary prose.

Cool.
Now, I meant for this to be largely mission/episodic based. I want to have PCs in every faction, but that means we have to be mature and not too competitive. Remember that even though our characters are in conflict, we, the players, are not. Your character losing is not the same as you losing. You only lose if you're not having fun.
For simplicity's sake, we're just going to ignore the language barrier.
Jedi should be non-humans(near-humans are okay) but Sith has their kidnapped humans, and STF is made entirely of humans.
It's been five years since the arrival of the Jedi. Because of the massive distance between the Sol System and their home galaxy, neither the Jedi nor the Sith are willing to risk their frigates in an open space battle, for fear being unable to make repairs.
The STF, on the other hand, have reverse-engineered star-fighters that they are perfectly willing to risk, as they have the only manufacturing capabilities at the moment.
I'd love for someone else to chime in, and I really do need a willing and able Co-GM. Do not volunteer for this just because nobody else has, do it because you want to, or else you're wasting everyone's time.

I think we have enough people to just go ahead and make the thread, but I would also say doing an interest check as well wouldn't hurt.
I guess that also depends on how many people you want.

So the series happens a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Well this here is the same universe, but right here and right now.
Backstory:
Exploration beyond the Galactic Republic's reach has gone further and further, and they've reached Earth, and discovered Force potential in the Humans who lived there. Unfortunately for everyone involved, it was the Sith who made this discovery. The Sith have come back, as they always seem to do, in a big way. The Rule of Two has been discarded yet again, and the Sith have a veritable army of Acolytes, ruled by a small group of Lords. The Sith entered the Sol System with just one Frigate with an expeditionary force. They made first contact under a false banner of peace, but quickly showed their true colors as they started snatching up children, and occasional adults, in whom they sense the potential for the Force. The Frigate retreated for a time, further from Earth than humanity could reach with its paltry technology.
Earth united, attempting to find a recourse for retaliation, however none seemed practical. Their salvation came in two parts. The first, was Cameron Ortega. A soldier who was among the few adults captured. He was subjected to the same torture that passes for training among the Sith. But what was different was his previous training with the US Army, which had taught him to withstand interrogation in the event of capture. He put on a show, pretended to be molded in their twisted image. Until he got a premonition that told him it was time to make his move. He stole a starfighter and fled back to Earth, managing to land through stealth. He returned to his superiors and reported everything that had happened.
The UN used Ortega's knowledge of the Force to gather other Force-Sensitives from among the armed forces of the world, and set up the Sith Task Force, or STF.
The second part of Earth's salvation, was the Jedi Order. They followed a great distance behind the Sith, and when their advance spies finally got word back of what was happening, a second ship appeared in the Sol System, but this one truly meaning to help.
So there are three factions.
The Galactic Republic's Jedi.
The Sith Empire
And Earth's own STF.
The STF allows the use of lightsabers(the components for which were provided by the Jedi) but does not issue them. Instead they use primarily conventional assault weapons. They are trained using usual Earth military regimens(with the addition of Force training), making them quite distinct from either of the other two factions. Both the Jedi and the Sith see the faults of their opposite numbers in the STF. The Sith see the Jedi's suppression of emotions, while the Jedi see the Sith's impulsiveness(which is encouraged in STF training, under the belief that their new found Force-Sensitivity will guilde their actions).
So there's the basic premise. We can hash out more if we get any interest. If you have any suggestions for additions or revision, you can definitely voice them.
One very important note. I am leaving for basic training on the 20th of May. I need a Co-GM who is not just running this in tandem, but who intends to be my successor. I like the idea, and would love it if it stays an active RP until I return so that I can come back to it.

Oh my god, it's called Earthland? I feel like I actually need to see this show.
Eh, it doesn't have to be the same situation just because it's the same people. Butterfly effect, yo. A slight difference can greatly change the line of events.
I'm with you on every point, Caits.
Big question: Are we totally recreating this world? Or shall we just take the lands and things that exist and repurpose them?
My question, I guess is: how much are we redoing?

Do you mean like spells need to be prepared ahead of time, or they just can be?
So I assume we're still keeping the whole guild and quest dynamic.
Are we still going to do quests in separate threads, or do you think we've downsized enough to manage without that?
Also: is this, or is it not, taking place in the world of Fairy Tale? I'm not going to lie, I have zero interest in an RP based on an anime I've never seen.

Well, I didn't mean that everyone had to be connected to everyone, just to think about how the other factions would interact with yours.
They also don't all have to be ancient immortal races.
That being said, they're good to go, though I wish we knew enough about the Noctramancers to come up with a reason they might be in conflict.

So since there's new GMs: when will we have a quest on the board?
