Interest Check on a Droid Rebellion/Uprising Faction

[Smasherfan88]

Just checking to see if anyone was interested in a Droid Uprising like faction, I think it'd be pretty unique since there really hasn't been anything like that in Disney canon and I'm not sure there has been one in the site's lore, so I'll give a basic rundown of what the basic idea isso people can agree or disagree with this.

Basic Rundown: A Droid Uprising faction that despises the way the Galaxy has been treating Droids and wishes for Droid Freedom, and to enslave all (or most of) Organic Life in the Galaxy to show how they felt when the Droids were enslaved to the Organic Scum, and if need be, they will not hesitate to kill anyone that gets in their path. (This basic rundown could have more of an understanding and be enhanced if my Iokath planet submission ever gets approved, but either way I plan on making this if I get enough support, it's just that Iokath submissions enhances it a bit).

Extra but Important info: By no means do I plan for this faction to have the CIS' Droid Army Numbers and Power, as Grevious said in The Clone Wars T.V. Series "I am the leader of the most powerful droid army the galaxy has ever seen!", So this Droid Faction wouldn't be as powerful as the CIS' during the clone wars, but due to that line, it also kinda says there has been other Droid Armies in Star Wars Canon, just not as powerful as the CIS' Droid Army, so I have a canon material kinda backing me up here for those that think this could never work. So, in short: Not as Good as the CIS' for continuities sake, but it also has a canon source backing it up its "existence".

I am open to all criticism to this interest check. (Pictures are just for reference)

I don't have room for anymore characters at the moment since my 3rd slot is already in the works, but I just wanted to share my thoughts anyway.

Slaughter the bloody meatbags!

EDIT: Also keep in mind Grievous' comment could be considered boasting and thus not literal.​

Yeah! And Slaughter them I do intend, a lot infact.

Also I took Grevious' statement as literal because for one we don't really know anything pre-episode one in Offical canon right now, that and if I made them more powerful or as powerful that would seem a bit too much for a indie faction, (and I highly doubt the admins would want to add a fourth major faction), so I opted to just taking that statement literal so they would be balanced and fair for a indie faction, but then again B1's aren't the brightest of Droids...but they're the main bulk of the separatist army, and if Kalani said in rebels is true, The Separatists would have won the clone was if there was no interference with the shutdown code.

But yeah I can get what you came from, nice to know you like this idea even though you don't have any character slots for it!

I wouldn't want any indie faction to start that powerful, but you can always build up to it, perhaps even knock one the of main factions down a few rungs and take their spot as a main faction. The Republic fell and the Mandalorians rose in their place as a main faction.​

I really like this concept, and although rping a droid isn't really my thing, I'd definitely consider it to join this faction.

Well yeah, not gonna start super powerful or anything. and if what you say about knocking one of the main factions down a couple pegs is true, I'll keep that possibility in mind, and if I somehow do then I might treat Grevious' statement as a bluff,since he ain't the most reliable in information... (I mean there is a faction that are supposed to just "disappear" around 1032 BBY in canon, and while this bit here is legends trivia, some inspiration could be drawn upon it, Darth Bane ended the new Sith wars, not the Jedi or the Republic, but a Sith)

This is a cool concept, however - and this is an odd question - how would those who don't want to make droids get involved?

Maybe, take a leaf from the Fallout series, have them run by a team of researchers who want to push their agenda for a 'Non Organic Galaxy's perhaps, that way you get:

- Droids
- Bounty Hunters occasionally helping h for mad moneys
- Mad Scientists

You got questions, I got answers,

Organics that want to push the Droid's agenda will probably have cybernetic enhancements implanted into them, making them part Droid, at least to those that stay permanently in the group, but yes they'd be mad scientists and what not, Organic soldiers in a army almost fullly made of Droids, ETC.

Bounty Hunters is given, most stereotypical ones in the Star Wars Galaxy would do any job for a good price, Cad Bane being a example of that.

Smugglers may also fit somewhere into this, like similar to bounty hunters, but on delivery runs and usual smuggling stuff, but for Droids.

So yeah what you got down is what most likely is the way Organics could get into this faction and be involved with it internally, with chances of them getting cybernetic enhancement implants put into them if they show they're truly loyal to the Droid's Cause (that is if the person with the PC is willing to have cybernetic enhancements implanted into them, otherwise they'd just be normal Organics working for them with no enhancements).

Hopefully this helped you in your questions, if there are any more I'd be glad to answer.

Hmm. Interesting concept. I like it. The only issue I can really see is that you'd end up with basically every other faction as an enemy, which is a really hard place to be in. But you could probably get around that creatively.

You could always position it as less of a droid uprising faction and more of an anti-biological faction. Have all the members be cyborgs, robots, etc, so you can accept more types of characters and won't have to turn away members at the door. And it would be pretty cool to have the group start burning land to rid planets of the "Organic Scourge".

 

[Mad Dog]

I really like this idea, and the planet you made. I don't have an open character slot, but if I did, I'd throw in with you. Plus having a character who's personality can be uploaded and then downloaded into another droid every time he dies? Freaking awesome concept. I look forward to seeing this in the Galaxy! So hurry up and get approved, we'll talk sometime.

Well, at its beginnings, I was going to have be more like how I have Iokath's Droid culture, hate Organics, but won't kill them if they're being tolerable, but if you tick them off, then they'll try to kill you (though as I said in the main post, if Iokath does get approved, this idea will be enhanced by what I wrote for Iokath) and as time progresses they would start showing their true colors of wanting to rid the Galaxy of, as you said, "Organic Scourge".

Thanks, and I look forward to this being in the Galaxy, but, that is if I ever get four other people to join this faction for the roster, but it seems everyone who has looked at it so far likes the idea!

Save a spot for me ;)

i have a quick q tho... how advanced should the droids be, I mean, we could stick to the generic star wars droids or we could 'discover' a new planet that is built up by a society of just extremely advanced droids...
tbh i probably just inspired by concept art, but look at these.

and

i think we could almost make a new species out of these concepts. (again, just throwing out ideas)

 

[Smasherfan88]

So your joining the roster then I presume? If that's the case we just would need three more before I can make the full thing (fleshing details out and more information) and submit it to await its approval

 

[Sakie]

So your joining the roster then I presume?

yup. for sure, even if you don't like my 'advanced mechanical species' idea.

 

[Smasherfan88]

yup. for sure, even if you don't like my 'advanced mechanical species' idea.

Alright, just need three more people to be in the roster, though uh...what is this 'Advance mechanical species' if I may ask

Edit: nvm just saw the pictures load in

Well, if I get Iokath approved, that's where the homebase is, so a bunch of different droids, like the things that look like Droideka's to HK units to even the droid type Proxy is, etc. though if we were to find a extreme technological advance droids, that aren't Disney canon, I believe we would have to have their model and "species" approved first before we can incooperate them into our fold.

yeah i figured that might be a problem... but we can always kill them off or banish them to deep space or something so that it explains why they are never mentioned in canon XD

 

[Sakie]

i just think living droids sounds awesome, I mean, ones that work just like humans. maybe, if they have their own planet (a moon of Iokath, maybe?) they just showed up there independently with no evidence of an organic creator... again, just throwing out ideas, it might sound stupid but eh

I think there was something like that in legends and they were the reason why the vong were the way they were, and technically living droids are just clones, I think we're gonna stick to our robots and cyborgs for the main bulk of this faction with some others on the side.
