Hello Fellow Exiles! I am hopefully going to write up a plot the Dark Roots portion of out Faction Main Storyline. It will revolve around arriving on one of the Space stations above the planet Anzat and getting, shall we say, involved with one of the stations organized crime groups. The plot will detail this group of Exiles sabotaging some groups while subjugating another in order to establish a foothold on the station and in the system.

I hope to have the write up done soon, but if you are interested be sure to post here so that I can put you in the list right away! 3 other Exiles should do the trick, no matter what sect. I will be playing a Templar if that changes anyone's mind!

I look forward to RPing with you guys!

Plot Overview

[fancybox4="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/e/e8/Starbasecarida.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130114154426"] Dark Roots: Taming the Natives (Phase 1)

Warlord Zerek Xesh has called forces to him in order to establish a foothold on the dark planet of Anzat. In order for the Jedi Exiles to make their way onto the planet's surface while remaining stable, a presence on one of the many orbiting space stations is required. Hearing of this order from the Warlord, Jabhar Darnor has sent out word to some other Exile contacts who have all traveled to the space station Ignis in order to assist in their dark leader's cause. Through subterfuge and brute force, the criminal organizations on the station will either crumble or submit until the Exiles have control of the station's underground, and thus a way onto and off of the planet's surface...

Cast of characters:
@Handyman as Jabhar Darnor
@Topher Ridge as Kolas Lindo
@Hugh Capet as Anæus Pellaxus Vargam
@Shogun as Sylas Frost
@Incubus as Elias Canaan
@Odric as Odric Arriston
@Handyman as everything in between!

Thread 1 Name:Meeting of the Small Council
Characters:Jabhar Darnor (@Handyman)
Kolas Lindo (@Topher Ridge)
Anæus Pellaxus Vargam (@Hugh Capet)
Sylas Frost (@Shogun)
Elias Canaan (@Incubus)
Odric Arriston (@Odric)
Summary:Having finally arrived on Ignis separately, the Exiles make their way to a private room acquired by Jabhar Darnor, who arrived a week earlier, in the stations Center district. With intelligence gathered prior to the meeting, the Exiles must decide how to take out the three rival gangs who run Ignis station, either by bending them to their will, or by eliminating them.

Thread 2 Name:Handling the Hogs
Characters:Jabhar Darnor (@Handyman)
Kolas Lindo (@Topher Ridge)
Anæus Pellaxus Vargam (@Hugh Capet)
Sylas Frost (@Shogun)
Elias Canaan (@Incubus)
Odric Arriston (@Odric)
Summary:The first step in controlling Ignis Station is the destruction of the Red Hogs. This gang is a band of brutal arms deals that sell to anyone who passes through the station and wants to buy guns and ammunition. Though their contacts and assets would be useful to the Exiles, they are also the most likely to rebel against the soon-to-be rulers of the base. As such, they need to be eliminated. Whether the group decides to walk through the front door, lightsabers ignited, or to take a stealthier approach, the Leader of the gang must be killed. Without him, a Rodian named Cheebo, the group will fall apart. Anyone else who dies is just icing on the cake.

Thread 3 Name:Cracking the Enigma
Characters:Anæus Pellaxus Vargam (@Hugh Capet)
Sylas Frost (@Shogun)
Davin Gort (leader of the Enigma Corps NPC played by @Handyman)
Summary:Regardless of how the Exiles took care of the Hogs, word of their exploits has spread like wildfire. The remaining two gangs are trying to decide between teaming up against the Exiles, or submitting to their rule. The Enigma Corps, a gang that deals mostly in information, is teetering on the edge of which choice to make. Their access to information on the planet below as well as the people the come and go from the station is invaluable, but the four Exiles can't run that operation themselves. To that end, Anæus Pellaxus Vargam ad Sylas Frost make their way to the Enigma District of the station to convince the Engima Corps to submit to their rule. The method with which they achieve their cooperation is up to them, as long as the outcome is the same...

Thread 4 Name:Too Spicy for Us
Characters:Kolas Lindo (@Topher Ridge)
Elias Canaan (@Incubus)
Summary:Regardless of how the Exiles took care of the Hogs, word of their exploits has spread like wildfire. The remaining two gangs are trying to decide between teaming up against the Exiles, or submitting to their rule. Odium, a group of spice makers and dealers are one of the remainig two groups, and they are hoping that the Enigma Corps will join up with them and push back these new Exile forces so that the station can be theirs again. With that information in hand, along with the fact that spice dealers are of little use to the Exiles at this time, Jabhar Darnor and Kolas Lindo have been dispatched to destroy their cooking location and wipe out as many of them as they can. The destruction of their source of income should force them to either flee or join up with the Enigma Corps and serve under them. The Exiles will just have to be careful they don't blow themselves up as well...

Thread 5 Name:Assault on the New HQ
Characters:Jabhar Darnor (@Handyman)
Odric Arriston (@Odric)
Summary:The recent increase in dead bodies and explosions on the station have led some of the more...courageous members of the station security forces to put their foot down and try to stop the hostile takeover. Jabhar and his unwilling apprentice find their new headquarters at the Red Hogs' old base under attack by some of these men. The pair must defend the base until their allies return so that a counter attack can be planned.

Thread 5 Name:I Fought the Law
Characters:Jabhar Darnor (@Handyman)
Kolas Lindo (@Topher Ridge)
Anæus Pellaxus Vargam (@Hugh Capet)
Sylas Frost (@Shogun)
Elias Canaan (@Incubus)
Odric Arriston (@Odric)
Summary:Ignis Station is almost in the hands of the Exiles, but there is one last loose end to take care of. In order to assert the dominance of the Exiles, the Ignis Security forces must be quelled so that they understand that resistance is futile. The Exile force, as well as the few combat read members of the Enigma Corps are storming the Security Headquarters and teaching them who is in charge. There will be so stealth, there will be no subtlety, and there will be no survivors. Ignis base WILL belong to the Exiles, and the first step to the planet surface will be taken.

Please feel free to discuss the plot and follow-along in the comments below!

I also plan on writing up a Phase 2 and possibly Phase 3 for this as well, so keep an eye out!

The more I thought about it, the more I think that just keeping it to the 4 of us will be better! I'll try to get a preliminary write up done tomorrow if things aren't too busy on my end.

Ok so I've posted a plot overview sort of thing for you guys to look at. I put your characters where I thought they would be comfortable, but if you think we should switch some things around, then we will! Once we are happy with the state of things, I will make the official submission!

Alright! I'll write you in. But I'm going to cut off people joining now since I want to make sure we don't have threads with 6 people at a time. That can get pretty unwieldy pretty fast.

Not a problem! I did tell you to after all haha! Ok, once I see that everyone's characters are approved I will get started with the submission process.

I also might do some thread rearranging just to make sure we don't get too bogged down on too many threads. Please let me know if any of you want to be moved to a certain thread.

Just so everyone is aware of whats up right now, I'm just waiting for everyone to have approved characters (since we can;t do faction stuff without approved characters) and then I will make the plot request.

If you have any issues with the plot you want to work out before it is submitted, PLEASE let me know soon so we can work it out. If you don't post, I'll assume you're cool with it and I'll post it ASAP.

Thanks for all the interest guys! When this is completed I'm gonna write up Phase 2, so keep an eye out!
