Plot
During the height of the Clone Wars, a large wormhole mysteriously appeared within the Belkadan system. A CIS patrol stumble upon the anomaly and lunched a probe. To the astonishment of the captain, the probe’s findings revealed what appeared to be a whole another galaxy. Moreover located further in the newly discovered system was the third planet to a nearby star which showed signs of life. Following tests by additional probes not only confirmed it but showed it was surprisedly populated by humans.
The captain reported the evidence back to command, which needless to say caused quite the stir among the Separatist Council. In the wake more probes were sent into the wormhole, gathering new information about this second galaxy, specifically the world called Earth by the local human inhabitants.
While containing vast amounts of resources the planet was heavily urbanized and divided in nation-states. Also Earth’s technological capabilities were limited to the degree they couldn’t even colonize their own moon. These facts interested the Council greatly especially the likes of Nute Gunray and San Hill. They saw newfound opportunities to harvest worlds for resources in the new reality, one without the Republic.
At first Dooku was greatly reluctant to even entertain what he believed to be a diversion from the war effort. However, following a secret discussion with his master, the Count changed his mind. Subsequently the entire Belkadan sector was locked down, and the CIS began mobilizing a expedition fleet to go through the wormhole.
Meanwhile on Earth the appearance of the large wormhole near Pluto had been known for quite sometime since September 22, 2018. After the initial fascination wear off many months later the phenomenon was being taken for granted by most. So when in mid June of 2019, unknown anomalies came out the evidence would take time for any space agencies to be notice due to technical limitations. By then it would be too late.
The Separatist expedition force lead by the ruthless Rukra went through the wormhole after it was proven to be safe to travel ships through. As soon as they entered, they hacked Earth’s electric communications and warning systems, masking their presence for the time being...
Introduction
Hello gang, it’s me Minuteman. After a very extended hiatus, I decided to try my hand again in rping here on the site. To start with I propose a RP centered on a scenario where the Confederacy of Independent Systems invades Earth for its natural resources and use as a possible base for their military.
Of course before we get into details there are a few points we need to address to go over some may suggest the Separatists wouldn’t use outright military aggression to takeover an independent/neutral world but rather subtle means. While it is true in some cases but look I would have to respectfully disagree. Here is evidence of so in the Clone Wars series;
-The occupation and attempted genocide of the Lurmen colony on Maridun.
-The enslavement of Kiros’ population.
-The overthrow of Onderon’s King and the planet’s subsequent occupation via puppet regime.
-The attack on Scipio.
__________________________________________________________
In all these cases the Separatists invaded neutral worlds and communities. So not too much of a stretch for the CIS to disregard with negotiations and take what they want. Especially with a politically divided and isolated world like Earth.
Sure it would be wiser if the CIS conducted a PR campaign to win over Earth with trade and such but wouldn’t as thrilling in a roleplay.
Yes, I’m aware that sw tech can vague and wishy washy in some aspects but it hopefully could be worked out for this possible RP. I’m willing to discuss with tech admins if they wish to be involved so to make sure that front is balanced as a certain Mad Titan from Marvel would say heh.

Background
This will be current era Earth but with a few alternate aspects.
-A mysterious wormhole is formed linking Star Wars galaxy to this alternate reality. That eventually leads to Earth being discovered and studied by the CIS.
-The year is 2019 like in RL and it starts during the summer and 20 BBY in the Star Wars galaxy.
-As an alternate version of Earth none of the political leaders in RL such as current presidents/prime ministers/and various heads of states are in charge. Rather fictional characters will take their places. References are fine and such but the main focus is on the people from all sides who will be affected by the coming events.
-Star Wars franchise does not exist on this Earth but other the numerous pop culture subjects like sci fi and fantasy both in literature or media are still around that can used for references.
-With the ‘permission’ of Count Dooku an expeditionary fleet is send in to seize control for resource harvesting to support the war effort back in the home galaxy.
-In overall command of the operation is by the highly aggressive Admiral Rukra(a female Zabark) in conjunction with an representative working for the Separatist council.
Da Rules
1) There will be no PvP in this possible RP, just CPvP if and when conflict between PCs occur. This means you can’t kill someone’s PC without their permission.
2) Only OCs on both sides will be RPed for the prologue.
3) You can RP as many characters in these groups as you want. Just make sure you can handle it or stick with one if that is your preference
4) All current rules of SWRP will be enforced here as well.
5) There will be no posting order. Roleplayers involved should be allowed a chance to post once at least.
6) Of course if a roleplayer is being delayed from posting feel free to let me or anyone else involve know. After a certain amount of time their turn can skipped so the others can continue.
7) No human from Earth in this RP will be force sensitive. Also no Jedi/Republic personal for the time being. Saving the group for a later date if this prologue is completed.
8) No senior political heads of state or high ranking military commanders above captain can be RPed. Some like in the Separatist leadership can and will be npced.
9) Have Fun!
Final Notes
-As for the prologue your characters can be spread out across the globe confronted with the invasion during the first days.
-Basically it will be a massive RP sandbox with no PvP. Of course if you folks want your characters to interact with one another feel free to do so. Just remember to tag your partner/s.
-While it is understandable that we all may have different opinions about the effectiveness of such an invasion it would be greatly appreciated if to avoid debating the subject here. Honest questions are welcomed but this is meant to see who will be interested rping in the scenario or not.
-I will for the most part act as the overall GM to give you folks stuff to RP with and handle a number important NPCs when necessary.
-The overall outcome is predetermined but the journey of the story is what will be focused on and have fun with.
