Okay…Here is what I’ve sketched out as somewhat as a premise for this…

All of this is negotiable, of course… tongue





Possible spoilers below.......
















This story will take place in 46 ABY and will be about how Jag became Emperor and how the IKs were formed from a split within the Jedi Order.

It is a speculation fic that will be as much drama as it is romance.


The Politics...

I like some of the theories that are floating out there about how the IK’s begin, many of them coming from you guys. Which was one reason I asked you to join me in this venture.

I would like to see a lot of political squabbling between Jag, Daala and the Jedi Order. Remember that after the end of Invincible, the JO was its own entity. But I wonder how long Daala would really have that? I don’t think she is content to be just CoS Daala…in this I’d like to see her be more devious (true to character?) than we saw her in LotF. She has the galaxy now, which is exactly what she always wanted. However…..not totally. The Jedi, the hated Jedi, have a handpicked Grand Moff, who will not let her completely swallow the galaxy whole.

I’d like us to develop the politics around this idea. One thing I see happening is the Jedi being pulled between the two. Some of the Jedi see through Daala’s peace, while others thinks she the greatest thing since baked bread. Luke is stuck in the middle. Jaina who in the years since had been promoted to master and sits on the Council is the wife of that hand-picked Grand Moff.

I love political intrigue and I see all sorts of possibilities.


Now for the birth of the IKs…

Once everything comes down to it the Jedi split. Jaina, Kyp (because I think it would be highly unlikely he’d ever support Daala) and Valin Horn are at great odds with Luke who thinks he may have been wrong about Daala, but still doesn’t trust her. Ben supports the GA totally even if he doesn’t like Daala as CoS.

I threw Valin in there because I like the idea that we could bring in father/son conflict… And that his fiancée is Wyn Fel…I loved that idea from Kick’s story….Fly Well


Assassination Plot!!!

Now here’s the biggest kicker….Zekk. Zekk was picked up by pirates after he went EV. He doesn't remember who he was or that he was a Jedi... He takes on a new ID and works on the fringe as a Bounty Hunter. Making a name for himself... He is hired by one of the Moffs to assassinate our beloved Jaggie… He will have another name, but ironically is only a single name...he never takes a last name..., which will keep our non-lurkers…HeHe… wink guessing…

My idea is that he will eventually, over the story, realize who he is and what he is. We can work on this though.

But he does almost succeed....... devil


As for romance….

Well of course, J/J….duh love

The Valin/Wyn ship….I love this idea, Kick love We'll just have to come up with a good idea for back story of how they met.

I’d like to see some romance for Ben….an OC which we can create for him….Sorry Jys… sad .(unless you guys want to pair him with Jys Horn.)

Zekk and another OC (one of his fellow pirates who is the granddaughter of Imperial Inquisitoner Valin Draco…..) See where I’d like to take this……..



Well what do you think?

I know it’s rough, but I want us all to have a go at building this story…I think that’s what makes the Charon_Force’s NJO fics so good. We as the colab have equal say in the story.




Sara

edit:
I'm with Cyn...PM list already and we haven't even started....


This is gonna be great!!!

That this is the best freaking idea I have heard in ages!!

I love your ideas so far! What about adding in Syal Antilles? She lost her fiance towards the end of LOTF and
has to be ready for a new life. What better place than in the new Empire? grin You know her cousin Jag would
have the perfect job for her.

Also, don't forget the Baron. love He needs to be there for his son.

Well this isn't just my story...patience, my dear. wink I'm sure we will see all of them.

I'd like involve Syal, too. And of course, Soontir and Cem.

Oh geez, I forgot about the PM list! Please add me in too.

Sara - you are so right about Cem too. I have such a soft spot for all those Fels. It threw me for a loop when Formbi dropped the
bomb that Chak was dead. shock They should have him found alive and just stranded on some forsaken planet.

More of a villian or just power hungry?



She has the galaxy now, which is exactly what she always wanted. However…..not totally. The Jedi, the hated Jedi, have a handpicked Grand Moff, who will not let her completely swallow the galaxy whole.

*nods* Jag is in charge of Imperial interest though. How much power would he have to really stop her...or just be a bump in her road.

Granted the Empire still has a lot of military muscle and my impression was that Jag took Gilad's place so theoretically he controls the fleets...is that right?


I’d like us to develop the politics around this idea. One thing I see happening is the Jedi being pulled between the two. Some of the Jedi see through Daala’s peace, while others thinks she the greatest thing since baked bread. Luke is stuck in the middle. Jaina who in the years since had been promoted to master and sits on the Council is the wife of that hand-picked Grand Moff.


I think that is so freaking perfect that I don't even have words for it Sara.


Now for the birth of the IKs…

Once everything comes down to it the Jedi split. Jaina, Kyp (because I think it would be highly unlikely he’d ever support Daala) and Valin Horn are at great odds with Luke who thinks he may have been wrong about Daala, but still doesn’t trust her. Ben supports the GA totally even if he doesn’t like Daala as CoS.

*nods* Durron has personal reasons not to like Daala for sure and I could definately see him voicing those opinions.

But leaving the Order to serve the Empire? Kyp Durron? thinking Let me think on that. I think we would have to have some pretty powerful internal POV from him. I'm not saying it can't be well done, I'm just saying.


I threw Valin in there because I like the idea that we could bring in father/son conflict… And that his fiancée is Wyn Fel…I loved that idea from Kick’s story….Fly Well

Oh yeah...Knight Horn is a given. love And he fits so well with Wynssa.


Assassination Plot!!!

Now here’s the biggest kicker….Zekk. Zekk was picked up by pirates after he went EV. He doesn't remember who he was or that he was a Jedi... He takes on a new ID and works on the fringe as a Bounty Hunter. Making a name for himself... He is hired by one of the Moffs to assassinate our beloved Jaggie… He will have another name, but ironically is only a single name...he never takes a last name..., which will keep our non-lurkers…HeHe… wink guessing…

My idea is that he will eventually, over the story, realize who he is and what he is. We can work on this though.

This all sounds great.

Seriously if someone else wants to handle the V/W thats fine by me. Subconsiously I may allow some of my FW stuff to bleed over. But, yes, that romance is a given with me...like J/J and Sia/Antares.

Jaina might have stepped down from the Council when Jag becomes Emperor. It could be considered too much of a conflict for her to remain on it and be Mrs. Emperor Fel. So, she leaves the Council and starts the IK's. Maybe even in response to an attempt on Jag's life?
