As a stage three of our Raping of Coruscant effort (and since we've got some time to kill), I think it's time we cause some civil unrest. I believe it's been about two weeks to a month IC time since the bombing. Let's get people angry at the lack of PR.

Although my plans are shaky so far, what I can muster is that we should have Darksaber members appear on Coruscant and raise hell- namely start riots. This will corrupt the already unstable power base and force the military to head coreward to settle things down. We'll advance into the mid rim as they're withdrawing.

Any ideas?

A couple more well-thought-out smaller bombs? Set off in smaller public buildings? Seeing as we enjoy ours bombs so much. They can see how well the Republic protects them...could cause huge paranoia? Panic ftw...

EDIT:

We could also supply known gangs with weapons and leadership(or outside influence). Start some #!@$ there.

Poisoning the water supply, causing division amongst the citizens by performing conventional bombings in only selected communities. For instance bomb only those areas of Coruscant where one particular species lives, and then after some time target a species which has a known enmity with the first species. This will make it look like a response to the attack on them by the first species against their old enemies. Then have our agents instigate the two groups by speeches and propaganda, sparking protests and riots. Have a few more ideas if these aren't any good.

I think these are good ideas!

Is it possible to create a small war between companies on Coruscant? Somehow set two major and battle ready companies against each other? I'm just thinking, what would get ships to leave planets to come home? What would really get military leaders and create a need for them on Coruscant? Perhaps a small war worthy of their intervention? Some sort of diversion, that Darksaber can begin but leave to the two sides to really blow up and require the Republic's attention! We could incorporate Radzkie's and Sid's ideas into this as well, giving illusion to a larger than life war zone even if it isn't as big as it seems? Basically blame sides for what they did not do. If need be, we could commission certain rpers to create these businesses to sell the deception?

I think poisoning the water supply will be a step in the wrong direction. We have to make it look like infighting instead of more terrorist attacks- very similar to what Sid said. I like the idea of pitting races together by posing terrorist attacks against each other, but maybe something a little bigger. Either start a mass xenophobia amongst the Humans, or start class wars where the lower class tries to rob the rich, and the rich try to push out the poor.

Companies and races could be a catalyst, but I can't think of a single company or race that would be big enough (besides Human). Any ideas on that one? We could separate a regional thing- start the idea that everyone coming from an Outer or Mid Rim planet is really a Hutt-supporting terrorist.

Also, how would this start? We can use conventional bombs, assassinations, riots, really anything but the sonic weapon or an overt military strike. Darksaber has a pretty hefty pocketbook, so sky's the limit.

Seeing as humans are a large population, we could pit humans against other races to look like their purists or whatever trying to eliminate the "aliens".

We could start with conventional bombs then move onto assassinations. Maybe stalk the streets at night and leave a bloody mess of aliens except for humans. Making people scared to go out at night. Make a show of it, ya know?

We could also leave marks behind. Maybe a logo of a "purist" group we can make up. Our very own group that we could make look like it's larger then it is. We could also recruit(lure) some humans who might actually like the idea of getting rid of the aliens. Could cause quite the unsettledness.

We could NPC some of this maybe? Assassinate someone's child and blame it on the target business/grouping. Or we could start some sort of mass smuggling operation and purposfully draw attention? We could frame a certain group of pilots or ships from a certain planet, making it look like they are trying to skirt payment of goods on-planet? Or we could set some sort of mass hijacking, with a signal of unifying technology that allows us to control/remote control ships into a collision course? ...Maybe another senatorial target/government/funders of Republic operations? Is there some main company that the Republic associates itself with, like a spacecraft making company or something? Is any of this giving people ideas?

Ya! I like that last part Radz! The logo and recruitment stuff!

:CHappy

I could even add a artistic touch and make the logo(s).

We could also do two things, rather then one. Make the republic split their attention between two problems.

Ya I like distractions too! I was thinking maybe we could use some kidnappings to help? Like for example, kidnap senator's children and plant them in separate speeders rigged to blow across the city and set for different collision courses? Idk, somethin to keep dem Jedi busy too if need be?

Hmmm... I'm not sure how much we could do at one time, though. If it's possible to create that much chaos around the same time, maybe one DSS member per mission would work? Three in all? Kidnapping/Terrorist group/Smuggling group? Not sure.

I think at that point we're getting away from the 'civil unrest' and heading towards 'unrest in Gotham'. We don't want to bring the attention of the Batman.

I'm in support of multiple things, though.

Radzkie, let's see what you can do as mission lead. You and everyone else get a nice solid plan going- maybe even solidify a few Darksabers who are joining. The only guidelines is that it can't be linked back to the Hutts, it can't reveal Darksaber, and it can't be a full blown military incursion. The goal (ideally) is to cause widespread civil unrest in Coruscant and hopefully the rest of the Core, drawing the attention of the government inwards.

LOL @ batman comment.

Any other ideas besides what has been stated?

And is anyone into the idea of creating a race group + a war(My "purist" group) or mass smuggling operation(Lyeric's idea)? If you are, we can try to mow out the fine details of how we would put them into action and split our efforts into them.

Thanks, brah! We will most certainly go over the fine details together. Once Sid lets us know what he's into(and if he has any other ideas) then we'll try to finalize the two main ideas we will work off of.

You guys are missing the point...

The goal is to incite riots in the street, as in mob upon mob of people running over one another in the most violent sort of protest. Screaming, fires, automatic pistol fire, and masses of angry people are the trademarks of a riot. Right now, the Republic military is in a weakened, chaotic state. By sending ships over to continue the appearance of security they leave themselves open to domestic violence and general animosity. Turn the people away from the government, elicit sensations of rage and hatred towards the Republic in the heart of Coruscant, and you have yourself a riot.

In its fragile state, the Republic won't be able to handle riots springing up planet-wide. With its remaining martial forces regulated to keeping domestic peace, they won't be realistically capable of defending the core worlds. By setting up these riots, throwing Coruscant into chaos, you open up the opportunity to take down Republic bases without opposition.

That is the goal of these riots.

Mhm. And we are going to use triggers to start those. If you have any helpful ideas to add to our list to cause chaos feel free to list them.

I think before we go detonating bombs and killing people we should try riots so the tension doesn't come out of thin air. Hire actors to stand on soap boxes and scream on corners about the dangers of outer-rim species. Have them yell about the complete lack of preparation by the Republic in blocking our attack. Have them yell about the zero response from the attack. About losing Bothawui. About the hundreds of thousands of dead on Denon. About the war thats gone on for almost three years with no change.

Before we start pitting specific groups against each other we should lay the groundwork and get everyone on edge- have every Republic civilian bitching about something and hating whatever we can get them to hate... THEN we'll turn that tension into violence.

Edit: Some more ideas could be bribes, paying gangs to start gang wars. The idea is to put civilians against each other in general, then we can hone it more specific.

Sounds like a plan. I had the gang idea already listed on the first page. I was thinking we would supply them with weapons(money I suppose) and outside influence.
