The New Republic Planning thread

[Tiana, eh?]

For those who wanted the NR RPG, PLAN away. Then I can get this started. I got a character sheet thread up anyway, but I won't do any more in the line of rules, fleets, whatever, until it's all out in stone... well... writting.

Heh...text.

You mentioned this took place after the Vong invasion was finished, correct? So we'll basically be covering the events and whatever else that take place in the aftermath of the war, in that case. Potentially veeeeeeeerrry interesting... (grins) Heh.

[Tiana, eh?]

I think we'll go a bit later than just after the war. We'll come up with a symphosis of what happened after the war was cleared up, then RP after that. Because I'd rather have it so that anyone who joins doesn't have to read the whole NJO series.

I'll come up with the text crawl for the thing, I think...

[Cy Otauna]

okay, so i posted stuff in the NJO thread before reading this. So my opinion is there(i actually have something that might be used as basis for a text crawl). Onward!

((May I make a new planet, Byss, or the remains of Byss.))

[Tiana, eh?]

Er... is that a canonical planet? If it's been destroyed in canon, no. If it's your own planet, and you can come up with a long post to explain it, go ahead... I've made my own, after all...

I think there were two planets that have surfaced in SW storytelling that were called Byss...ah, here we are. From Wikipedia:

The first Byss appeared in the Dark Horse Comics series Dark Empire as a Deep Core world located very near the center of the galaxy. It was a dark clouded planet, with a nearly inhospitable and turbulent atmosphere. It is also very strong in the Dark Side of The Force having been a place where ancient Sith artifacts were stored. Palpatine had invited millions of people to the planet, tricking them into thinking it was a paradise worth visiting. Once the people arrived, he had them enslaved and tapped into their life energies, making the planet even stronger in the Dark Side. It later became the reborn Emperor Palpatine's throne world where a massive city of towers was constructed on the surface. It was surrounded by enormous orbital shipyards where the Super Star Destroyers Eclipse I & II were built along with the rest the Emperor's reborn star fleet. Byss was destroyed when R2-D2 re-programmed the Eclipse II and sent it colliding into the Galaxy Gun. In the confusion, the Galaxy Gun accidentally launch one of it's planet-destroying missiles right into Byss, annihilating the planet.

The second Byss is the homeworld of the Abyssin species.
