SWRPF Archive Star Wars: A Republic Is Born

Okay, so how is the cannonical stuff going to fit into this game? Is this a free for all?

WOOHOO!!! Post 100! And it was an accident!!!!

 

BUMP!!!!!!!

 

getting ready to post...

The ***** is about to hit the fan...

 

Why me? I was working on a post for this game for the longest time, and was about two paragraphs away from the end. I go away for a few minutes, and when I come back, my brother has deleted the post-in-progress and all the bits and pieces and notes which I have made over the past week for it. Now I am too tired and too angry to start over, so my big important post most likely will not come, unless the turkey turns out to be bad (for the third year in a row) giving me time to come back here.

 

BUMP!!!

 

Gotta question...what in the world does "BUMP" mean?

Okay, Rofath_Ewerthis,

Naboo is not a well-known democracy as we know it to be in the prequel trilogy. I made King Troné to be a tyrant and evil man, who enslaved his own mother, the Queen, in order to aquire the throne, to show this fact. It is a hereditary monarchy. They do not, and as long as someone like Troné rules, will not have elections to select government officials.

Also, King Troné was a secondary-main character of mine, very close to a main character, and you are not supposed to kill them off without the creator's consent. Next time you want to kill off one of my characters, please ask me first. I was planning on using Troné for something in the future. But now I can't. Now I have to make-up someone very similar to him. Please ask and make sure next time. Thank you.


**NOTE: RULES**

1)You cannot kill off anyone's main or secondary-main characters unless you have their consent.
2)No posting of pornographic material.
3)No posting of foul language(cursing), unless it is of the quote of an actual person.
4)Have fun!

 

OOC-Sorry Amory, I didn't know he was a secondary character, you shoul've said something earlier. Sorry!

 

OOC:I take some credit for what happened because it was my fault for not making the rules more clearer earlier.

Everyone,

Before introducing a new character, make an "OOC:" note before your "IC:" and notify whether your new character is a "main" or a "secondary-main". These cannot be killed by another poster unless they have your permission. Any other caracter that you did not express as "main" or "secondary-main" can be killed; such as a doctor, pilot, general, and the like. And maybe even a diplomat or jedi mentioned before, but not really a main character or supporter of the storyline in any way.

 

Note on Story:

The galactic government hasn't even been established yet. That is what this up-coming war is for; to make a way for it to be established by force since it could not be established through peace. The title of "Supreme Chancellor" hadn't even been thought of as a term for its leader, much less what the government would be called. All they know so far is that it will be a democracy. We, real people, do know that it will be called "Galactic Republic" and headed by a "Supreme Chancellor", because we are going to go along the line of, and tie into, the Star Wars Episodes that George Lucas created. But they, the characters in the story, do not know this. They haven't even heard of a Galactic Senate before. Neither can a Sith or Jedi be that attuned to the Force to see the future as quickly as this. It has only recently been discovered and no one is quite up to it's potential as of yet. Yes, maybe they can sense someone coming up behind them, and prevent an attack maybe, but I cannot believe that in such a short time, someone can be so in tune with the Force that they are as well equipped with it to be as good as those seen in the movies. But yes, force chockes and such can be used, and lightsabers can be used, but seeing the future and being able to prophesy with the Force...nuh uh.

The United Systems Association was mearly group of systems, Lastervia included, in the close vacinity of where lastervia is locatied, who wanted to create a government over them, to kinda test-run the idea of a galactic government. Amory didn't even start this, but liked the idea, and was soon elected as it's President when it was established.

The systems now known as Individualist were in a riot over this idea, and this was the starting point of the whole conflict. Soon, they created threats against them and so on.
The Government Creation Guild was started by the Congress of the Association in order to gain support for the galactic government cause, and quickly gained many members and support. Aldeeran, Tatooine, Degobah, and others...just to name a few. And Bespin was soon added to this number when the floating city, (not Cloud City), was built and the planet then had inhabitants. The systems of the Association also added to the number of those in the Guild, of course.

When the new government is established, it will be a democracy. This has always been a firm stand in the Association and Guild. So, in that case, the leader of the government will be elected, not appointed...Rofath. Besides, Amory would not have that power, even if he wanted to appoint someone. Also, Amory has no intent to be the leader of the galactic government when it is planned and placed in power. He simply wants to, when the war is all said and done, go back to his home-world and go back to ruling Lastervia as it's king and relieving his wife - once and for all - of his duty; so everyone can live in peace, under the quidance of the new galactic government.

Also, I chose Coruscant to be the seat of teh Guild so that way, it can also be decided as the seat for the new government. That way, it can flow into the Episodes.

 

OOC-Sorry about that, I am just trying to keep the RP moving along at a good pace

IC- Rofath sits behind his desk, contemplating his next move when a holo pops up; it the Corellian ambassador to Naboo, Ghrenth Oproth.

Ambassador: "Your highness, the Nabooans were very recpeptive to elections."

Rofath nods and asks, "What are the results?"

Ghrenth laughs aloud and says, "I am the new King of Naboo, elected for life. I have already signed the papers annexing Naboo to the Sith Empire."

Rofath nods again and says, "I hereby appoint you Governor of Naboo, you should also know that Hutt territory has been annexed and my people are working on the Hapans."

Ghrenth smiles and says, "The Sith Empire will cover the galaxy and nothing less, all will bow down to the Sith and there glorious leader."

Ghrenth bows and the holo ends. Rofath smiles to himself and leans back in his chair, rocking gently.

 

The small plane settled down on a tarmac several miles from Aldera. The plane, which had recently come from the spaceport many hundreds of miles away, was originally scheduled to land in the city, but the threat of partisans with surface-to-air missiles was too great.

The Queen, her niece, and one of the last Senators for Alderaan who had not yet fled the city, were waiting at the air strip for the guest who would had just arrived.

The door of the plane opened, and two security guards stepped out. After making sure there was no danger, another person stepped down. He was no more than seventeen or eighteen, modestly dressed, and somewhat unkempt after the long journey, but his expression brightened when he saw his mother and cousin. Prince Laertes, the son of King Organa, ran to his family and embraced them. After exchanging a few words, Senator Graccus interrupted.

"As a steward of Alderaan, it is my duty to inform you that at no time will you be safe here. Aldera is not what it used to be. The King has often expressed his concern and wish that you would have remained at the University on Chandrila, and he does wish you to return immediately."

"Silence, Graccus. You sound like one of the bumbling senators...wait...you are a Senator now? My apologies. But you do know that it the rest season, and the University is not active for another month. Also, I will not be kept in the dark about this matter. I wish to see my father, and to find for myself that he is recovering after this terrible event. Now, I have had a long journey and would like to return to my quarters in the palace to clean up."

"Laertes, that won't be possible. Your rooms were destroyed in the attack. We have been forced to move to the retreat on the north end of the city. The Palace and Senate have both been closed because of the constant danger from the rioters." The Queen said.

"Have the soldiers from the Guild done nothing?" The Prince asked, "They have been here for two weeks. Surely the peace-loving Alderaanians can't all have been reduced to bloody murdering savages. I will not believe these rumors of what has been happening until I see for myself."

"I fear that the rumors you have heard do not come close to revealing the full extent of the destruction and chaos caused by these insurrectionists." Graccus said, mostly to himself. They were led to a hydrogen-engine vehicle, and driven back to the city.

 

Ghrenth laughs aloud and says, "I am the new King of Naboo, elected for life. I have already signed the papers annexing Naboo to the Sith Empire."

No, no, no.

This board has to, in some way or another, tie into the Episodes that are actually existing. However, Naboo, at this moment, is not a democracy, and does not hold elections. It's not that hard to understand. It, right now, is a hereditary monarchy, which means that the next ruler has to be related to the previous one. Someone who is related to Troné will be placed as the new king or queen. And I am in the process of creating the character to take that position. Just hold your horses with the great Sith Empire. There was never a mention of it in the movies, so even if we did create one here, it would not last long because one way or another the Galactic Republic will have to take strong hold on the galaxy. We cannot be changing things anyway we want to. Yes, you can change some things; and yes, you can have fun; but it still has to have relativness to the movies. If we screw-up here, it won't be any good. What we are trying to do ith this post is create some kind of fictional history to place the back-drop of the movies on, since Mr. Lucas has not, and probably will not, give us anything about the formation of the Republic.

If you still do not understand, please PM me and ask me. But as for right now, just hold back from Naboo. What I am trying to do is twist the story where Troné's mother will be queen again, and alter the government into the Naboo that we now know so another Troné will never rule again. But ever since you killed-off Troné and started changing the way the dictoral Naboo works, I haven't been able to do that. Just don't bother with Naboo, or any other known worlds right now, and make up others that you can dominate.(Bespin is also in the Guild. No messing with it, or the army cannot function.) Make up some other worlds that a plausible and work with them. But those I have mentioned in previous post, I have plans for them. Such as Coruscant, Tatooine, Lastervia, Dagobah, Bespin, Cleostine and others later on.

But until then, put a hold on trying to dominate all these worlds with the Sith Order. And also, Tatooine cannot be tied into your Sith Order because it is a member of the Guild. That should have been made clear when I said that the armor of the soldiers and Jedi were being made in factories there.

I understand you trying to keep the board moving along, and appreciate that alot; I really do. But have the story-line keep in with the other post.

 

This RP does and prolly will not follow the canon, that is what makes it interesting, it is like altering history

 

King Organa was escorted up to the rooftop balcony of the Royal Familie's retreat on the northern edge of the city. His arm was in a thick cast and splint, and a cane was pressed firmly in his left hand. His left leg was wrapped in sheets of metal, which protected the leg during its regeneration. His face, neck, and back were swathed in bandages, still recovering from the bombing.

He walked to the thick sheets of bulletproof glass which ringed the balcony, protecting it from stray bullets. "My god, we never needed this much security back at the old palace. Is it truly this dangerous up here?"

"Absolutely, Sir." The Minister of State, Claudius, said. "We are still in a considerable amount of danger even here. I still advise you to leave Aldera and go to the refuge in the Castle Lands, as the rest of the Senators have done. The Guild armies are holding back the rioters, but it is only a matter of time until they make a mistake. Then an automobile loaded with explosives will drive through the front door of this palace, and it will all be over."

"I will not abandon my people, even if half of them are calling for my head. The senators may have left them..well, Graccus hasn't...but I will not give the impression that I have lost faith by abandoning them as well! Nickolai, have we paid the tax to the Guild yet? If the citizens find out that our fiscal responsibilities are done, then they may settle down."

The treasury secretary pulles out his alm-pilot (This is a different time than Star Wars, they still would have used our technology) and scanned some numbers. He looked slightly frightened before responding. "We have emptied the treasuries and floated all of the bonds and loans that we can still get. We have paid off just over one third of our total dues, with most of the money coming from the provinces, not the cities."

"Then I fear..." The king said, "That no clear solution presents itself. If this situation gets any more out of hand, then I fear that the bill of rights must be suspended until we can catch the ringleaders who are perpetuating this violence."

As if to emphasis his point, an explosion tore through the outside of a building, two blocks away from the palace. The structure, fourty stories in height, spread dust, debris, and shrapnel over the mostly-abandoned streets below. Miles away, another large explosion could be heard, accompanied by the nearly-constant sound of gunfire.

"Well, this has been a nice walk. Your son should be arriving soon. I assume that you would like to greet him as he arrives." Minister of State Claudius said, almost too happily. Organa was still stunned by the explosion which had just destroyed a building in front of him, and had to be led away by the security guards, since his own legs refused to move.

I'm just setting up a Hamletonian style story-line for the many characters who I am introducing on Alderaan, and I have a plan as to how this can help the game move along...in about six posts from now.

 

Prince Laertes was awoken in the dark of night by a humming, mechanical sound. The noise came from within his large sleeping quarters, which were sound-proofed and supposedly inpenetrable. The room also did not have any mechanical devices in it, which is why the sound caught his attention.

He sat up slowly, and glanced around the darkness. The sound came again, this time from near the windows. When it came a third time, it had moved closer to the bed. Laertes threw back the covers and stood up on the bed. A point of red light appeared on his leg, moving up towards his torso and head. Once the beam crossed his eyes, he could see the source. A strange feeling enveloped him, telling him to move. The prince lept sideways from the bed, tumbling to the marble floor. Just as he fell, a projectile shot from the red light, hitting the wall where his head had been a fraction of a second before.

The sensors in the room turned the lights on, letting Laertes see his attacker. A small machine, shaped like a centipede was laying on the foot of the bed. The head turned, and glowed red again. Again, Laertes dove to the side just as a projectile, a poisoned needle, shot at him. After sprinting around the room and behind a pillar, he called out for help. Three more of the needles hit the pillar which he was hiding behind. When no help came, he ran again to the bed. The machine was now crawling up the pillar he had been hiding behind moments before. He grabbed a glass vase which held a bouquet of yellow flowers on his bedstand, and threw it at the machine. The water splashed against it, causing the machine to fizzle and die.

---

Minutes later, the palace was swarming with guards, searching every crevace of the palace. An air vent was opened, and the technician checking inside was met with a silenced bullet. The perpetrator scrambled out of the narrow shaft, and ran down one fo the corridors. A group of guards saw him, and ran after. The would-be assasin fled through a series of corridors, only to be faced with another group of determined palace guards. He fled down a third corridor, and was met with a knife to the neck. Prince Laertes ran to the head of the guards to look at the being which had released the device into his room. When he looked up to see who was carrying the knife, the Prince was met by a familiar face.

"Renaldo!"

"It seems I have arrived at the wrong time."

 

But Rofath, were not trying to alter the history of the SW saga. Were trying to create a backdrop that we can lay the safa against, since Mr. Lucas will probably not do that for us. I understand where you are coming from, and you are doing a good job at trying to keep the board moving; but please try and stay on-line with 'cannon', and plan ahead before you post, and try and see how you can tie that with what will eventually come to be in the movies. Oh, and sooner or later, your Sith Order will eventually have to come to an end; maybe even in another gaming thread one day; because the Sith do become all but extinct - save the new rule of just one master and one apprentice at all times. Because that is what is understood from Episode I.

Also, if anybody sees any of our early posters floating around on the boards somewhere, tell them to come on back and help us keep the board moving. We need them back if we plan on having a good thread. I certainly don't want my first RP-ing Game to end up on the seventh page, or beyond, at such a young age - in thread terms. hehe

See you guys later

 

OOC: This is Kuna_Tiori.

IC:
Charath was doing exercises, running through the fields and through the forests, along with the rest of his class.

Later during the day, he sat in classes studying politics, military strategy, and astronomy.

OOC: Sorry, but there's not much to say right now. My character is still in school...

 

I joined here on the first page, and I just read the pm Senator_Amory sent me. So I will start rping here! Can anyone kinda help me get into the game? Or point somewhere where I can jump in? I already posted my bio, but this is just kus im kinda re-joining!

Name: Shane Vendesta
Species: Shi'ido
Age: 150
Height: 6'1''(varies)
Weight: 200 lbs
Appearance: is a shape-shifter, no one knows his true appearance
Clothing: white shoes, pants, belt, shirt, and white Jedi robes

Bio: Shane keeps his early life a mystery. No one knows where he came from or who he learned from, but he only believes in the force, not sides. He excells at telekinesis and is trained in almost every force ability, including "darkside" abilitys. He is also able to shift into almost anything at his age, even massive creatures such as Hutts. He uses mainly himself and the force as weapons, but does have a dual-phase silver-sapphire lightsaber.

 

Kaja Sinis sat and mediatated eyes closed letting the Force flow through him.His hands clasped around his sword's hilt.He had just discovered the mystical energy field and could already begin to feel its power coursing through him like a current of great power.His armor fastened around him he twirled faster than light snapping out of his trance and slicing the two plates in half that were hurled at him from the timed machine.He leapt to his feet and swept his blade downward turning two more plates to dust.

A evil was rising in the galaxy and he had to help stop it.

 

OOC: I would like to post, but before I do, could someone bring me up to speed and what my character (Queen of Lastervia) needs to do?

 

To help everyone who hasn't been posting lately get up-to-speed on things.

Rutja Jakeen, aka King Amory, the Executive Secretary to the Secretary General of the Government Creation Guild(GCG) used his limited powers to inforce a Guild-Wide taxation in order to fund the building of an army for the Guild once the idea was approved by the ruling body of the new orgnaization.
This taxation was not taken lightly by those Individualist on Guild systems, and now many riots and battles have broken out all over the galaxy. The peaceful planet of Aldeeran in that number.

The Guild was able to trace a connection of the Individualist back to the outer-rimmed planet of Naboo, which was run by a tryrannical dictator, King Troné. The dictator placed himself on the hereditary throne on naboo after he captured his own mother, the queen, and placed her into a secret and secure consentration camp. He soon disolved his appointed staff of advisors and began ruling the planet free-handedly and without charge. He also secretly assumed the power of the League of Systems and dissolved it, transforming it into the group now known as the Individualist, and masterminding every major move they make. But this soon ended when he was assasinated by two unknown force users; presumably acting own their own tuition, but that is still undecided. An heir to Troné has been discovered, and is now assuming the throne. The people constantly called for the return of their good queen, but she has now been declared legally dead since there has been no trace of her since she was assurped from the throne by her own son.

The taxes gathered from each Guild system were sent in to the Treasury, and the ships are being built; and on the prestine planet of Tatooine, the armor is being readied in their new factories, under the oversight of the new ruling clan of the Hutts, that had been previously puty into paower after the historical revolt against Belgir the Justa; a prominant member of the Justa clan from which the Hutt clan branched from.

An organization known as the Jedi Order has been established, and the new Jedi are now in training, as are many new soldiers who signed on to be in the Armed Forces of the Guild(AFG).

Amory soon received word from his secret sources on Naboo that the former king was assasinated, and now he will be meeting with the new king, the illegitimate child of Troné, King Troné II; adopting the name of his murdered father after ascending to the throne, and vowing to avenge his father's death.

The army of the Guild is almost completed, and King Amory is soon to be on his way to the planet of Naboo to meet with the planet's new dictator, King Troné II.

**Does this help?**

PS: Amidala 14,

You will now assume your powers as Queen of Lasteriva until your husband, King Amory, leaves once again. Then, you will once again assume his powers as king until he returns. However, if you like, you can accept the offer from the United Systems Association and run for the office of President. This way, you can have more diplomatic relations with your husband, and have the power to help him even more in his cause to establishing a galaxy-wide government. But to do this, you and he would both have to give up your royal title, and it would then go to your oldest daughter, Princess Meeki, who would then assume control of Lastervia as Queen Meeki of Lastervia...that is, if you were elected as President of the United Systems Association.

If you would like to do this, you can create your own story-line that can help keep this thread going. much like what 6-6-6 is doing. I hope that i have given you an idea and have helped some. See ya.

 

I'm back! I know you all have been dying to hear what happens next.

"They tried to take the life of my son!" The King shouted.

The three people assembled in the office, Senator Graccus, Minister of State Claudius, and Treasury Secretary Nicolai, recoiled somewhat from this outburst, then began squabbling among themselves again.

"The assasin was Corellian, that much we can be certain of." The senator said.

"There is nothing to identify him." Nicolai responded.

"He is native, surely."

"Impossible, he is Bokkan. Who else would attempt something?"

"What would the Bokkans stand to gain? The body has all the markings of a Corellian."

"Stop it, all of you!" The King yelled, instantly silencing the group. "This is getting us nowhere. We know that this was a well thought-out plot. Someone in the palace had to have been on the inside. Someone close. We will search everyone here. I will see to it that no tile is left unturned. This is the last straw, I will declare a state of martial law in Aldera until this situation can be resolved."

"But sir, that will only incite the people to more violence!" Nicolai said.

"Let us be reasonable. If the royal family were to temporarily take an unplanned vacation away from the city, then your own safety could be more assured. I could stay behind with the senators and representatives who are still loyal, and see to it that the capitol is kept together."

"No, for the last time, I will not abandon my people. I have been pushed too far. Until this matter is completely resolved, and every perpetrator is brought to justice, I will not leave the city, and neither will anyone else. We will request another division of Guild forces be dispatched to us to help maintain order. I will call in off-world investigators from planets which have not been affected by this violence. Each of us will see to it that this matter is resolved with the utmost haste."

[hr]

Prince Laertes sat at his desktop computed in the cellar of the palace, his makeshift sleeping chaimber darkened. The only light came from the display. The Prince was distracted by a slight fluttering of the air near the door. "Welcome, Reynaldo. So, you have found these dreadful quarters which security has insisted on me staying in."

The Prince's friend walked over to Laertes, the pulled a metal chair over to the desk. "They do have their reasons, you know. If someone is trying to kill you, and they could get into your bedroom of all places, then that is probably not the best location to be staying."

"Of course you are right. But did they have to put me in the dungeon of all places? Did they think that I would be in danger of a nuclear attack? Or perhaps a swarm of locusts? Ha! Security! What a joke."

Attempting to change the subject of their conversation, Reynaldo pointed at the computer monitor and asked, "What is this you are working on?"

"I am compiling a list of possible suspects who would have the access and the authority to allow the assasin into the palace. None of the house guards, guild forces, or hired mercenaries had the ability to, and neither did the officers. The Captain of the Guard is a possibilty, but he was always with someone else, and so wouldn't have had the time to orchestrate such a plot. His assistants are possibilities, and so are Senator Polonius and Senator Orneius. There also is the Minister of State, Claudius, who is spending an unusual amount of time with my father lately. Oh, and Senator Graccus, he was also around. There also is the Treasury Secretary Nicolai. He is my prime suspect, since he is the only one of my father's advisors to have survived the bombing at the King's proclamation."

Reynaldo reviewed the list for several moments. "I could not imagine Nicolai doing such a thing. He is such a timid and pathetic man...an accountant. He does not have enough courage or evil in him. I would think it to be Claudius. He also survived the attack. He is a snake and a politician. But there are others w

 

OOC: Wait? We have a daughter? How many children do we have? How old are they?

I would like to go back and read all five pages to get a better feel of things. However, I would like for you to post for me until I can. And I think that Selona will remain queen. Having your daughter for Queen and your husband for King is kind of weird. If you can take things a bit slow for me, that would be awesome, but it's all right if you want to go on ahead.

 

What I meant is that since you are the only one qualified to take on the King's position while he is away, and if you were to be elected to another office which would drive you away from your duties as queen, and "King-apparent", then we both would need to abdicate in order to have someone be brought up to take the position and work more efficiently than we both would have while working off-world.

I guess we have 2 daughters and 1 son...I'm guessing. Incase you want something else. But this monarchy is different from thsoe that we know of on earth. Instead of the throne passing to the eldest male, it passes to the eldest child, reguardless of their sex. I guess the oldest one would be around 16 or so. But since she has been in intensive training for her future role as Queen since she was 5, she is more than qualified anough to rule free-handedly. Although she will be aided by world-wide elected advisors, along with the Lastervian Senate keeping watch on her every major act, as they are obligated to do with every monarch. Even the one assuming the throne in the monarch's absence.

But I will wait until you get fully caught-up on recent events. I would not feel comfortable taking control of your character, so you hold on to it until then.

See you guys next week!

 

OOC: I'm sorry but I'm in too many RPGs to handle. I wish you good luck!! But I have to say goodbye.
