prepping for time jump

[Brandon Rhea]

Let's all please remember to be civil, thanks.

I will say that I do support what Adena is doing. We had some new elements in the Republic this timeline, mainly S13 and SOLAG, but we've been using the same leadership and RPing set up for the Republic for the last five years. In fact, I was the one who created the position of Supreme Commander -- IN 2006!

And let me tell you, the Republic never really won in any timeline. The Sith dominated them in the first and second timelines. The third timeline doesn't count since that was barely an all out war anyway. The Hutts were most certainly winning in this timeline.

It was time to take a step back and re-evaluate how the Republic was structured both OOC and IC, because it's clear that the Republic wasn't working well. Like Adena said, this isn't about punishing people, rewarding people, or anything else like that. It was about putting in people who have proven to be effective -- Adena, Will, and Boli have proven this countless times -- so there was a better framework to build from.

And with that framework in place, more can be built up with more people in other higher ranking positions. The Republic has always stagnated. Now it's in a position to evolve and progress.

damn straight we did ^_^ and Boli was a big part of that first one too, as was Matt actually. ( you and Sin played parts as well but these two are Rep now so...) which is a big reason I picked him.


and really guys don't worry about this " how I do things" thats something that will be picked up and learned by doing and observing and thats again why I picked someone very familiar with that way to help get that established. Yeah others use to working with me " be it back when I was with the Jedi, or as Darklord " will have alittle easier time adjusting back to old form, those not use to it will have more than enough room to fall into the flow.

and that's the big thing, By the end of it all, the aim is to have a self sustained system in place. It wont be painful I promise, but will take some time to adjust to if your not use to it.

Personally, I think it would be interesting if in a later timeline, the villains (per se) already control the Republic and a resistence is fighting to reclaim the galaxy. A little Original Trilogy-esque.

 

[Empress]

that sorta happened in the first time line.. After my sith took over coruscant and drove the jedi into exile Empress Viea became overly obsessed with a certain artifact and her own desires, and left the empire to it's own . granted it led to a civil war, but the republic and jedi had to fight back to take back control.

Bring this up again when we start thinking about a new timeline (aka not right now :bitchez).

Sure thing. It was just a random thought I had. Well, if we're lucky, the Republic will win this war (though the rise of the Bogan Empire are going to complicate things a lot).

 

[Empress]

on the upside though Im sorta use to how bac thinks ( though is pretty good at the out of the blue things ):P and santoro has a pretty noticeable pattern so hopes not all lost

Well, I'll just assume that some form of IC thing will happen then?

You poor saps will be crushed under the Emperor's boot.

If he had any boots. Since he doesn't, we have nothing to fear :CHappy

Touche sir.

 

[Tsar Fire]

Touche sir.

Perhaps we will be crushed beneath his girth?:CIsee

 

[Empress]

Just to repeat a few things:

With the jump coming closer, I'm highly highly suggesting people take the time to update the characters they are using to cover the time difference.

Now if it helps give a little bit more on whats going on, make sure to read the write up Bac prepared.


Now during this time a vast majority of the Republic Navy, as well as the ground forces are being decommissioned " in waves as to not leave us exposed " and Being updated and retrofitted, or completely replaced with new craft being provided by Costa industries, Jayde Enterprises ( formerly Jade Entertainment) , Kuat Drives, and CARD.

Senate:
During the time many of the senates major tasks will revolve around regulating legislation around the lifting of the trade embargo, and doing their part to ease public tensions on a legislative level as well as negotiating treaties, and peace accords, or protection offers to neutral worlds within republic space, ( IE Zeltros) and the neutral zone. This as well as whats suggested in the write up.

NAVY/ARMY:
During most of the peace time affairs the armed forces will be spending much of it';s time re-fitting itself, and assisting in local matters when needed ( such as aiding local forces in dealing with small rebel bands typically funded by crime syndicates) though the bulk of their duties are securing the Republic boarders and conducting war games with the jedi order, and other allied combat able factions, as well as alot of time fine tuning their training while the command structures are adjusted.

Solag:
Solag will be spending much of it';s time helping in the above, though they will be working at what can be better stated as " level 0" affairs. That is moving in and taking care of problems at their roots. While there is no way to remove all the crime lords and gang leaders raising hell completely, they will be making wide crackdowns on the ones expected to have roots outside of republic space. They will also be utilized to cross into the neutral zones to help evacuate persons of importance from republic worlds stuck on the other side of the fence ( WITHOUT doing anything that would be considered an act of war)

S-13:
S-13 affairs will remain unaffected. Given their nature and their utilization of individuals rather than groups, S-13 will be spending much of it's time gathering deep space intel on Hutt affairs, and movements. This includes documenting their internal problems ( civil war) as well as anything else considered of value, or a potential threat.
S-13 is also finding itself further imbedded into other branches of the Republic such as Solag, and the armed services with orders of evaluating the command structures. Should one come across as a potential risk, and or incompetent, they are to be removed " through legal means/ aka file a report let the executive levels deal with it" unless they are seen to be a spy or immediate threat then " retiring" them is an option



Promotions:
There will be a series of promotions coming over the next few weeks leading up to the jump, this is intended to fill in our already sparse command structure, and give us more ability to deploy different fleets and ground managers in much broader actions, and not rely on a sparse few to have to deal with three or four fronts at the same time.

Promotions will be largely based on performance: Should you want to inquire, or request it PLEASE contact Myself, Boli or Will
Provide a link to the character and if you can at least 1 RP you feel is the best example of the character.

military " army, navy, solag " contact Boli...he can clear/approve missions/deployment and also it's IMPERATIVE he, myself, or Will know EXACTLY who is doing what ( or planning to)

non military, the same as above, but go to Will ( Senate, S-13) if I'm not about


there are very sensitive timed and resource dependent plans coming after the skip, and we cannot afford groups acting rogue without higher orders ( save for s-13, and the senate is pretty unpredictable)

so both aspects need to be planned and discussed FIRST before going into play.



as for the republic boards:

Chancellors Office:

• Situation room ( locked to non command )
• Chancellor's public office (open)
• Secretary of Defense office ( open)
• Secretary of Affairs office ( open)

Galactic senate
(all the informational things and roster)

• Senate Cambers (ic senate debates etc )

• Senate committees ( IC-Locked)
  in here is where small office to office and committee RPs

• Senate Rotunda (where the senate is held)

• Senate Signup

Republic military boards will be largely untouched however cleaned of clutter and write ups updated.

​

is just to make sure it's known before things come into play...

an additional heads up:

though there will be some updates to ranks soon, But There is also a period this weekend before the change over where I need as many commanders * admiral/general * and up to join me in going over a few things.. Preferred if you have MSN, makes these soooo much easier.

with this we can go over a few strategies and a few " tricks" I have in store, as well as sector duties " and fleet assignments. And what not.

Sure thing, though I've been having Internet troubles so I've not been able to get on as much. Hopefully by the end of next week the issue will be resolved.
