GENERAL

  • The Star Guardians is a humanitarian organization that is established during the Force Eternal era. The organization's main purpose is simple; to help anyone regardless of who they are. This is accomplished through two methods: providing free healthcare to everyone in the galaxy without fear of punishment, and defending and healing those affected by the war. All while remaining neutral and not discriminating against the person's past actions.

    The Star Guardians' ultimate goal is to have medical facilities throughout the entire galaxy, providing everyone with a safe haven, all while helping the growing number of first aid camps in war-torn planets and other unfortunate places with mobile hospital/refugee ships.


  • Forged in a war, the Star Guardians is created by former Jedi Knight Clove Vanhoop. After the half-Annfyn failed to give help in the way she saw fit, resulting in the deaths of innocent people, she left the Jedi Order and pursued her own dreams. This resulted in the creation of the Star Guardians, a dream that was originally funded by the company Vanhoop Boutique.

    They approached the ISC with a plan in hand, requesting that the first hospital be built on Bothawui. This meeting resulted in a collaboration with the ISC, as well as approval to build on Bothawui and space to expand into Consortium space. Not long after, a similar meeting with the Sith and Jedi occurred, with the Sith giving permission to build in Empiral Space and the Jedi agreeing with the proposal and handing it to the Resistance.

    This propelled the Star Guardians to new heights, putting them on the map.



    Threads of interest/importance:

  • As previously stated, the Star Guardians' main goal is to help everyone without discrimination. This is the organization's most powerful driving force, upon which everything else is built. While those who work for the Star Guardians are expected to be able to fight, that skill set is primarily used for defense, whether it is self-defense or the defense of those the Star Guardians are protecting. It is forbidden for a Star Guardian to be the first to act violently.

    The Star Guardians do not discriminate and will help anyone, even if it means helping a well-known criminal. It is agreed upon that the simplest way to help everyone is to actually help everyone. Drawing a line is often what causes innocent people to suffer and the Star Guardians refuse to do so. They refuse to participate in the war and while they acknowledge that this is a relatively grey area, they are proud of their neutrality.


  • Every asset owned by the Star Guardians used to be bought with the Vanhoop Boutique credits and funding, but after its destruction and public outrage, the Star Guardians changed their methods and only buy new assets with credits they earned. While this means they don't have the most assets, each asset has been purposefully chosen to benefit the Star Guardians, reduce project costs, or help civilians.

    Each hospital has a mixture of original Blackwell staff/security droids and medical droids. Furthermore, each hospital has several farm fields where they grow their own medicinal herbs and foods. These herbs are processed into medications such as pain relievers, stomach protectors, and so on. Whatever medications they don't use are later sold at a low price, allowing those with limited funds to obtain some basic and necessary medications. The profits from those medications are distributed directly to the Star Guardians, who use them to pay their employees and other expenses. In an effort to generate a larger pool of income, the Star Guardians also sell the medical droid P9-H1.

  • Every Star Guardian begins his or her career as a Star Apprentice. Once fully trained, they can choose between two branches: Healer or Protector.

    The Healers are the medically trained Star Guardians who serve as the lifeblood of medical facilities and first-aid camps. Each of them has a medical license and has been trained to provide cutting-edge medical care. While those who are Force Sensitive are trained in Force Healing, those who do not have the Force play an equally important role. Despite the Protectors, the Healers are capable of basic combat and are commonly stationed in dire and sometimes dangerous situations, though usually as support.

    The Protectors are combat-oriented Star Guardians who are dedicated to keeping civilians, patients, and medics safe both on the battlefield and in the facility. They also play an important role as field medics in situations where the Healers are at too big of a risk. So, while they are not permitted to be the first to attack, these men and women see their fair share of combat, particularly in AMS and Killik-infested environments, and often clear a path for the Healers if necessary.

    Please note: the Star Guardians employ more than just members of the ranks; they also hire droid engineers, general engineers, farmers, and so on. And, regardless of job, rank or branch, every member is a Star Guardian and is allowed to wear that title.



    Ranks:
    • Star Apprentice
      The starting rank of every single Star Guardian. Star Apprentices are taught the fundamentals of combat, self-defense, and first aid. They are also taught other techniques, such as meditation, to help them stay calm in stressful situations. Star Apprentices are allowed to visit both camps and medical facilities while still in training, as long as they do so under close supervision. Note: this rank is optional for player characters.

      • The Healer
    • Star Medic
      Star Medics make up the majority of the Star Guardians, making them without a doubt the Star Guardians' backbone. The Star Medics are free to choose their field of interest and specialize in it once they receive their medical licenses (or have already earned the license prior to joining the Star Guardians). While the Star Medic is expected to help on the field during disasters, many choose to become surgeons or doctors.

    • Star Healer
      The Star Healers are Healers who have grown above and beyond expectations. They are experts who have fully specialized in their field and are quick on their feet during a disaster. Because of this, the Star Healers are allowed to create and lead their own first aid camps or other humanitarian missions. Those who have received Force training have complete control over Force Heal and are more than capable of experimenting with the Force beyond Force Heal. Because of their extensive knowledge and experience, the Star Healers rank is earned through hard work and dedication or given if they've proven themselves capable.

    • Star Sagemaster
      The Star Sagemaster is the highest ranking rank for the Healer branch, and it is only held by a select few. They lead the Healers and, along with the Star Commander, have the second highest authority in the Star Guardians, only listening to the Star Lady/Star Lord. They supervise the Healer Branch and ensure that each member's skill levels are perfected, while also supervising humanitarian efforts and, if capable, handling some of the more delicate diplomatic issues. They also collaborate closely with the Star Commander to ensure that everything runs smoothly between the two branches. Only a Star Lady or Star Lord can bestow the title of Star Sagemaster.

      • The Protector
    • Star Defender
      The Star Defenders, like the Star Medics, are the Star Guardians' muscles. They play an important role in ensuring that everything is safe and secure while being unafraid to put themselves in danger to save civilians. While most skilled in combat, each Star Defender is expected to maintain first aid knowledge, allowing them to function as a Battle Medic whenever they leave the medical facilities. Despite this, Star Defenders have the option of sticking to facility work, fieldwork, or a combination of the two.

    • Star Protector
      The Star Protectors are skilled combatants, well-trained in defense, and capable of eliminating a threat if no other option exists. Because of their skill levels and experience, a few Star Protectors are also given the position of trainer, training both Protectors and Healers. Those who prefer to work in the field are capable of commanding their own platoon and are often the first to dive head-first into a disaster-stricken area. The rank of Star Protector is held in high regard, much like its counterpart. They are regarded as the most skilled and experienced of the Protectors branch. Therefor, the rank is earned through hard work and dedication or given if they have proven themselves capable.

    • Star Commander
      The Star Commander rank is the highest for the Protector branch, and it is only held by a select few. They are the Protectors' leaders, and they, along with the Star Sagemaster, have the second highest authority in the Star Guardians, only listening to the Star Lady/Star Lord. They supervise the Protector Branch and ensure that everything runs smoothly. They maintain close contact with their co-Protectors and ensure that everyone's skills are as high as they can be. They also collaborate closely with the Star Sagemaster to ensure that everything runs smoothly between the two branches. Only a Star Lady or Star Lord can bestow the title of Star Commander.
      • Leadership
        ㅤㅤ
    • Star Lady/ Star Lord
      The Star Lady, or Star Lord, is a position only held for the leader of the Star Guardians. They are expected to know how to fight and heal, as well as act as the Star Guardians' public face and handle most diplomatic matters. While they collaborate closely with the Star Commander and Star Guardian, their words are final.


  • Each Star Guardian begins with the same training: basic self-defense and combat, basic first aid, and basic coping mechanisms such as meditation.

    Once a Star Guardian has decided on a branch, their training is tailored to their specific role in the Star Guardians.
    The Protector's branch will continue to receive combat training, such as handling different weaponry, long and short range, hand to hand combat, and so on. They will also learn how to function in emergency situations, how to withstand various climates, and how to best protect another person. They, like the Healer branch, can choose a Protector 'specialization,' but unlike the Healer branch, their options are limited to bodyguard, facility security, combat medic, and a flexible combination of all of them.

    The Healer branch, on the other hand, specializes in medical science. They must complete a medical degree in order to obtain a medical license. Once they have obtained their license and understand the fundamentals, they can specialize in their preferred field of work. Examples of specialization include doctors, Force healers, surgeons, remote medics, and so on. Whatever specialization a Healer chooses, in the event of a crisis, they are all required to aid in first aid camps where possible and thus will receive several basic combat and basic self-defense lessons each year to ensure their skills do not rust.

    Whatever branch and specialization a Star Guardian chooses, they are strongly encouraged to pursue an activity outside of their job. Gardening, singing, dancing, art, journaling and other activities are welcomed, and members are frequently given space and time in the facility to do so.

    Please note: a member of the Star Guardian isn't required to specialize in their branch, it is however encouraged. They are also allowed to specialize in more than one specialization if they wish.



LEGALITY

  • Because of the Star Guardians' tricky nature, there are a few rules in place to ensure the safety of the staff, patients, and civilians. Unless otherwise specified, these regulations are also written in a contract and agreed upon during a partnership with a faction or senator.

    Any faction or independent planet that does not have an agreement or a signed contract does not qualify for a medical facility. A lack of agreement, however, will not prevent the Star Guardians from providing first aid unless the faction or planet in question specifically requests that the Star Guardians leave.


    • There are only two ways to enter a Star Guardians facility: with staff clearance or with the Star Guardians escorting you. Every Star Guardians facility has a droid-manned escort ship in orbit. After the droid contacts the approaching vessel and confirms their identity and (medical) problems, the patient is allowed to board the escort ship or follow it with their own vessel. The escort ship returns to orbit after escorting the patient into the facility in preparation for the next patient.

    • Anyone wishing to leave the facility must be escorted out. If it is discovered that the patient does not have a means of leaving orbit, whether because their route to the facility was temporary or for any other reason, the escort ship will transport them to a nearby space station. This ensures that a patient will never set foot on non-Star Guardians land and that civilians surrounding the facility will not come into contact with the patient in question.

    • In the event of an emergency, local authorities will be notified. That is, if a patient becomes a threat to the Star Guardians' or locals' safety, or if a Star Guardians escort ship is hijacked and deviates from the pre-programmed course, local authorities will be automatically notified. If this happens, the Star Guardians withdraw their protection from the problematic patient, allowing local authorities to deal with the situation appropriately.

    • The Star Guardians protect any patient in their care, whether in the facility, a first-aid camp, or any other first-aid situation. It doesn't matter who the patient is. Those who are under protection must not be touched or put in danger. They are also not allowed to be apprehended. Doing so could result in a breach of the regulations.

    • The Star Guardians are not authorized to be the first to engage in combat. They are, however, allowed to defend themselves and those under their protection at all costs if someone engages first, regardless of who the attacker is.

    • As a neutral humanitarian organization, any ship bearing the Star Guardians' banner is to be left alone in the midst of a war. They are not to be attacked or threatened while stationed on a battlefield, nor are those under their protection.

    • Unless dealing with private/confidential information of a patient/organization/entity, Star Guardians communicate over open signals and follow the rules of the planet/space in which they operate.

  • Please keep in mind that this is only a basic contract between the Star Guardians and the parties involved. Any additional collaboration, newly discussed details, or changes are added as needed.
