RP PLOT

[Laryn En'faal]

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, yet still on your computer right now...

STAR WARS ROLEPLAY CENTER
EPISODE III: WE HAVE A PLOT NOW

Anyway, it is a time of relative peace in the Republic. Eight years after the DROID WAR THING, the galaxy is slowly returning to normal. Citizens, tired of war, are urging for DEMILITARIZATION. The specter of war is fading. At least, on the surface...

Deep in the Unknown Regions, a shadowy dissident force led by a rogue CHISS who thinks of himself as the new Thrawn is gathering strength. Driven by the perception that the Republic has mishandled the defense of the Galaxy for centuries, he is preparing a push to OVERTHROW it.

The Republic, having become aware of the growing threat, is quietly preparing once more for WAR. In absolute secrecy, the Republic has dispatched a small team of the finest soldiers, diplomats, and Jedi to gain ALLIES for the Republic, and to deter others from joining with the Chiss...

Some important footnotes:

1: Sign-ups for the Republic team will go up soon. If you want to be on it, keep that in mind when creating (or keeping) your character. Also keep in mind that the team may be limited to a certain number by the staff.

2: The Unknown Regions will be opened up once the expedition has left. What's in them? No one knows! Fun stuff, probably

3: This one's more of a personal rant, but it takes all kinds to run a Galaxy. Think long and hard before becoming a Jedi. Or a Mandalorian bounty hunter. Be creative. Smugglers are fun. So are fighter pilots. Even ground soldiers. Heck, you can be a villain! We need villains! And not just Sith, either. We have openings for some Chiss. Anyway, the point is, don't be a movie character ripoff. Try something new

To discuss the new plot and its fine points, use the RP Discussion Thread. Only announcements go in this one.

For those of you who may think it looks like nothing has changed in all the months that we were down, here is a list of what we have done, so you can see that you were wrong!

• RP and non-RP threads that were not used, had too many responses, were stale, or otherwise insufficient were either removed or replaced.
  
• Each and every planet in the RP now has a planetary profile with helpful information about that planet and it's system.
  
• We have a new plot (duh).
  
• We have added an Expansion Regions category with several new planets (access to these will be granted after the Republic dispatch team has been put together).
  
• We are in the process of updating the member groups.
  
• The Characters board has been replaced with a new one for reasons stated in the new board.
  
• Due to under usage the bank and experience points system have been removed.
  
• We've added Republic military factions.
  
• We skipped ahead 8 years from the Droid Wars (the previous plot here at SWC)
  
• And other stuff that is either too miniscule to list or I have forgotten to mention above.
  

There you have it. I'll update if I think of more. And if any of you guys on the staff see that I missed something, feel free to add it.
