OK, here's what I'm thinking for this.
On Coruscant, or some other suitable world, a group of criminals decide that the quickest way for them to get rich is to take a whole lot of people hostage and ransom them. [Coruscant scenario] So, they mount an assault on Iceflake Inn, a popular vacation resort on Coruscant's polar ice cap.

They manage to seize control of one of the main hotel buildings of the resort, and demand to be payed off with a ludicrous sum of Credits, or else they'll start killing hostages. The Republic and Coruscant Security Force [CSF] decides that these people are Terrorists, and that they don't deal with Terrorists.

So, instead of sending in briefcases of Credits and the ship that the crooks are demanding, the CSF stall until nightfall, and then insert a small Fireteam at the outermost reach of facility. The Fireteam has orders to eliminate the terrorist threat with a minimum of civilian casualties.

Now, this Fireteam is composed of the most qualified men and women, it doesn't matter if they're CSF, Republic Military, Mercs, or Jedi Knights. For once, the Bureaucrats pulled their collective heads out of their arse and realized that lives take priority over department pride.

Naturally, this'll be a Player-Versus NPC Role-play. I'm willing to NPC the Terrorists and Mission Director, or hand it off to someone else who wants to do it. Ideally, this'll stay under five soldiers on the Fireteam, for a total of Six players involved.

So, would anyone be interested in such a RP?
Note that this doesn't have to take place at the location listed; it can occur anywhere in the Galaxy, and so is ultimately up to the people playing the Fireteam members to vote on when and where the hostage scenario will take place. [Though any location that may impact the main plot-line of the story should be avoided.]

I know this is SW, but if it was real world wouldnt they negotiate before breaching and possibly killing civilians.

I'm in... as soon as I create my character.

:CIsee: I'm lazy, but I'm going to create a Merc soon enough. And if I don't create him soon enough, someone else can take my spot.

It could be easily attributed to a refusal to negotiate on part of the so-called terrorists.

Why wouldnt you negotiate for little things and get a few hostages out, then breach to minimize hostage casualties.

Real world, most likely they would negotiate to a limited degree before sending in a SWAT or Counter-Terrorism team.

EDIT:

This. I was going to say that the CSF is negotiating with them a little, but I prefer Lavi's thought on the matter. So the Terrorists are refusing to negotiate, they just want their demands met.

I can lead such an undertaking...
Sounds good. By lead, do you mean play the Mission Director, or the Fire Team Leader? You can have either slot, or if you meant run the whole RP, that's fine too. Just let me know which.

So, so far we have four players, excluding myself. Assuming you are all going to play as strike team members, then we've already got enough people to start this up.

If you can't negotiate anything with the group, then you can't get anyone out.

Excellent! Now that we have Xeno, we have a total of six RP'ers, including myself. Sign-up for this RP is now closed.

Unless Ruukil says otherwise, consider him to be the Fire Team Leader, so aside from occasional advice and new directives from the mission officer, he will be running the show for the Fireteam.

As no one seems to be bothered by the current location for the scenario, we'll run with it being at Iceflake Inn. I'll make the thread straight away, and post a link to here when I'm done.

*Gulp* It's already up.

At least this will get my ass in gear and I'll start making a character. Hope to be down by end of today.

I was hoping to be the mission director.

Right-O. You're now the mission director, so you'll be running the show for the police side. Feel free to modify the Mission Director to suite your tastes. BTW, would you like to NPC some/all of the terrorists as well?


And WarGasm, as long as the profile is up and running by tomorrow, you probably won't miss anything.

Not completely, we all in one way or another should have control of the terrorists reactions and actions.

Could you edit the name in the first post to Abele Hallen

Update: I was waiting on WarGasm and Hazmat to post, but if they don't make a post in the thread before the day is out, let's go ahead and skip them, say their chars are late to the briefing/whatever. Does that sound good?

I'm going to have to drop out of this one. Sorry guys, :CCry2:.

I'm making some changes to my character, big changes, and that coupled with my laziness is going to keep me from finally making a character.


Hope you guys have fun with this one though :CHappy:
