After the fall of Byblos, the Exalted of Darth Raze have decided to move on to the jewel of the galaxy, as monsters pour out of the streets in order to turn the skies of Coruscant red with blood led by @Gareth Gin , now the @Fallen Beast of Zaa Fenn , the message is loud and clear: No one is safe from the Wraith's grasp, nor will they be able to hide from his children. As the monsters start spreading across the planet, will you confront the spawns of the sith lord, will you fight or will you run away?
Some story prompts:
Taking a Stand
Run Boy Run
Fighting over burning cinders
Some story prompts:
Taking a Stand
- Open, self-DM, Cpvp
- Location: Upper levels of Coruscant
- The abominations started their attack at the upper levels of the planet, people started to fall left and right but Coruscant is always well equipped: Armed forces and civilians alike are banding up to buy time for the citizens of Coruscant to leave, make it hard for the monsters to rampage through or join the bloodbath as one of the exalted.
Run Boy Run
- Open, self-DM or dice
- Location: Isolated streets of Coruscant, night.
- Some of the exalted decided to stay in the darkest corners of the planet, their monsters forms preferring to stalk and torment their victims as they run away from them, knowing that they are being chase but knowing not what came for them. Survive becoming a character in an horror film!
Fighting over burning cinders
- Open, PVP or cPVP.
- Location: Gang controlled lower levels of Coruscant.
- Even though most gangs operate in the lower levels of Coruscant, the bigger ones have a lot invested in the upper levels, not only that, but they are the ones to take a stand against the monsters as they come into their turfs. With their forces being diminished, smaller gangs have decided to take shots at them, trying to claim the many levels of the underworld with blind greed and little regard for long term consequences. Some streets are on fire and there's even riots happening as even the lowest scum take advantage to rob different places. Defend your turf for those that are protecting your level or try to take it from them, nothing ventured nothing gained.
In an effort to flesh out the stories of the ongoing galactic war, we will be introducing a new system to allow members to RP in the setting of the war that extends beyond Invasion and PvP threads. Because military campaigns would consist of weeks to months of combat that is not always represented by individual battles, planets that have been recently battled over or planets along the edges of the warfront will periodically be declared "flashpoints."
When a planet is a flashpoint, it will mean that that location is open for members of any faction to RP on and engage in battles ranging from small skirmishes to larger confrontations in space and on the ground. The goal of this system is to allow people to write out larger scale battles and unique scenarios strictly for storytelling purposes without the stakes of winning or losing. No territory will switch hands as a result of flashpoints except as agreed beforehand by faction leadership. This allows people to incorporate into their RP larger military forces and ships, long and gritty military campaigns, or subversive sabotage and diplomacy without having to worry as much about smaller logistics. Please note that rules regarding rank will still apply. Privates/ Acolytes/Padawans/etc. should not be commanding massive forces even if those forces are present on the battlefield.
In addition to the open battlefields, many of these flashpoints will be associated with writing prompts to assist members in thinking of things to RP. These prompts may be used or not depending on the preference of the writers.

- Who controls a planet during a flashpoint?
- The faction in control of it as seen on the map. Flashpoints do not mean that the faction in control of the planet does not actually control the planet. The notion that the faction who "owns" the planet has no control over the planet is categorically incorrect.
- Can planets that are currently flashpoints be invaded?
- Yes, they can be invaded. Like any other planet, an official "Invasion" can be launched when the planet is under a flashpoint. The flashpoint threads, specifically, cannot be used for the invasion or preparation for the invasion
- What is the purpose of flashpoints?
- The purpose of flashpoints is to facilitate stories that could not be told otherwise. Whether that be open battles, interaction with characters from other factions, or any number of other smaller conflicts. The purpose of the threads is for storytelling in a low/no stakes environment.
