Alright, for those of you who haven't heard of Zakuul, I suggest you click this link here. Very cool planet concept, and I suggest to look into the Fallen Empire and Eternal Throne stories as well if you'd like. Not really a requirement, but it's a treat. That said, you might be thinking, "Get on with it!", so without further ado, let me pitch my idea:

Zakuulan imperialists. Basically, this would look like the militarists that pretty much ruled Japan in the 1930s and during World War II. They're looking to expand their empire and spread Zakuulan culture abroad. They control the Knights of Zakuul, and they control the young, naive ruler of Zakuul. They also want to eliminate the Scions of Zakuul, which partially goes back the an old feud between the predecessors of the Scions and Knights, the Ashla and Bogan. The Scions, much like the Ashla and the Jedi, see the Force as a guide. The Knights, more like the Bogan and the Sith, see it as a tool. The Knights want to eliminate the Scions cause they see them as a hokey religion that shouldn't have as much sway as they do over things. Unfortunately for the Scions, in this scenario the Knight leader, as I said, has influence over the Emperor.

In this scenario, as the head of the faction, I'll be the Evil Chancellor trope (the 'Jafar' or the 'Wormtongue'). I will need a 'Theoden' or 'Sultan' type figure to fill the role of the Emperor, so whisper me if you figure you're interested in taking that up. While I will certainly give you plenty of freedom, there is a certain direction I need him to go to make this work so be prepared. Beyond that, potential roles include, but are not limited to Knights, Justices (Force-using aristocrats), soldiers, or droids (skytrooper or GEMINI).

Please, let me know if this faction is an idea that would pique your interest.

I'm Interested in creating a character that hails from Zakuul, so it should go automatically that I'm interested in this.

If you're intending to make this a faction, you should know the Void Serpents are currently doing missions to conquer Zakuul. The one I'm involved in is nearly complete. The leader of void serpents is @Retroboy if you wanna talk to them.

While Arcann and Thexan are some of my favorite characters, I'm not sure if Zakuul on the rise AGAIN would really be the best idea for the timeline.

That being said, I wouldn't mind doing some things with it.

A perfect reason /to/ make this faction, then!

Of course, its power would be scaled back. Nowhere near the KOTFE levels, with political implosion and the Void Serpent invasion being a huge chunk of the reason.

@Simonev @Arsolyn MehYahm @Dark child @Retroboy

Alright, if you are all for-sure interested in joining the faction, then we have the minimum amount required, which means I can get to work on making it. I'll PM you the to-be faction page, along with my leader page, both to give you an idea of where this faction will be going. Sound good?

Oh, no, no. I'm the leader of the Void Serpents - Arsolyn MehYahm is also a VS. We're just expressing a willingness to cooperate with you.

Oh, well, that's great too! Yeah, I'd love to cooperate. Can imagine the sorts of conflicts these groups might have--would be interesting to have a war perhaps separate from the galactic standard.

Another option you might consider would be to join our already approved faction.

My Order of the outsider come from Zakuul and united with the VS', if anyone wants to be a member of a kinda backwater doomsday cult. :) I kinda made Zakuul my staging ground for my character history, so, I'd love to collab some history between the religious sect and what you've got going on. They could have been a menace to the government at one point when they were large. (they're not so large now, but they're making a come-back :) )

@Calixis was doing something similar to this so idk if y'all might want to go cooperate with each other on its creation.

The Void Serpents control Zakuul, and I'm fairly confident in saying we'd love to have you all.

@Retroboy is Void Serpent leader. @Baobhan is AFL who's leading the Order of the Outsider project. I don't know exact details, but I'm sure they'd be willing to share.

Makes sense - I'm pretty interested so I may or may not retire a character to make room for this.
IDK tho - I have some other ideas in mind so maybe maybe not.
