Hello there folks! Glad to be here! I’m not very good at introductions so I’ll try to be brief. I’m a lover of Star Wars and of fiction in general, a lover of some of that good roleplaying, be it on the computer or on the table! Lastly, I’ve loved writing since childhood, although I’ve committed to it only as a hobby. I’ve been hurting to return to the Star Wars universe for some time, but the pandemic has not allowed me. However, I ended up stumbling on this beautiful site of yours here and I’ve been intrigued, taking my time to do my research and understand how everything works before showing my face. Now that I’m getting more acclimated, I’ve still got some questions I haven’t managed to answer just yet, so I think it’s due time I ask them!

What is the current status of MandalMotors and other Mandalorian companies?

I’ve noticed most Mandalorian characters do not make their suit fully out of Beskar, is that a particular rule and would it be okay to make one if the armor was an ancient clan inheritance, thus no advanced functionalities? I could see why it would be restricted though, since Beskar used to be presented as way too overpowered in some Legends material.

Would it be okay to, before delving into my character itself, make a Personal Lore post regarding his particular Mandalorian clan, who arose to great prominence during the last years of the Republic, mostly trough business, commerce, R&D and diplomacy while under Satine Kryze, then as warriors under Bo-Katan Kryze, only to then be almost utterly annihilated during the Mandalorian Purge and barely managing to survive in the ensuing years?

Also, I wanted to question how player-owned corporations work (I recall seeing at least one instance of this), example being: the character I’m currently planning is a Mandalorian, but he was raised to be less of a warrior and more thoughtful, learning things like engineering, commerce and politics. In his backstory, he’d try to spend some years as a Bounty Hunter only to realize he lacks the cold heart to follow such a profession, joining the Sector Rangers in order to fight for a cause he deems honorable while attempting to raise money to begin to establish his very own technology corporation. Would something like this be allowed? Roleplaying my way into owning a smallish Mandalorian corporation. And would that entail leaving the Sector Rangers at one point?

Lastly, I browsed through all of the Technology entries on the Atlas and I couldn’t find a single instance, even under restricted posts, of a handheld rotary blaster cannon like the BlasTech Z-6 or of disruptor rifles, are those unallowed by any chance or just that someone hasn’t gotten around to post a write-up of something like that?

Welcome to the site!

We're pretty freeform here regarding stories and what's allowed. For story purposes most things are fine, but for combat or pvp, we'd expect players to be considerate and fair. New corporations are always very encouraged! We currently have Blackwell Technologies which is pretty active and more are always welcome. I don't see why your character would need to leave Sector Rangers in order to be part of a corporation, but sometimes rising through the ranks in both can be tough.

I'll let some of our story tech staff members weigh in more specifically on the BlasTech and beskar piece.

I strongly encourage joining our discord so you can get some quick answers there as well. As of now, to my knowledge, no one is writing about MandalMotors, but that shouldn't stop you from bringing it back into the picture :) We do have several Mando players here are there. @Darasuum happens to play a Mando that also happens to be a Ranger.

Here is some more information about the setting, and I'm sure you've gotten a PM with a lot of other helpful details to get you started.

Here is the Z-6 at least. I didn't find a disruptor rifle, although one may be able to submitted, although tech staff input would be best to hear from first.

Anyways, welcome to the boards and I'll echo what Sreeya said. Your character concept does sound nice and I'm sure Dara would like to roleplay with you. If you are wanting to do something with Blackwell then I will happy to roleplay with you as well (as I have a Blackwell character myself)

Anyways, if you need any help, you can ask here, on discord, or in PM on site or on DMs on Discord, your preference. Don't be afraid to ask for help :)

Thank you for your answer! I totally get the PvP aspect being more restricted, that was actually a big drawn to me as, to be honest, I'm not a very competitive person and intend most of my roleplaying to be more on the cooperative side. I'll definitely join the Discord in case I have some other questions here and there! I already browsed "The Story So Far" in my research and found it very interesting, I particularly enjoy the fact this is taking place many years after all the established cannon as that leaves more room for creativity!

Here is the Z-6 at least. I didn't find a disruptor rifle, although one may be able to submitted, although tech staff input would be best to hear from first.

Thank you very much! I totally missed the Z-6 while browsing the technology tab, so thank you for pointing it out to me! I'd love to roleplay with you in the future, establishing connections is definitely instrumental in establishing a corporation! But my character might take awhile to be ready, as I want to get him right and am also waiting for a artwork commission on his armor to be completed.
