Hello everyone, my name is Chance, aka Geroin Sep, one of your newest brothers in the Sith Order. As a way to start off, instead of going straight to combat, I wish to make something that will help our organization in the long run: an intelligence pool. This idea is one I developed when creating my character's traits and personality as an analytic and oratory-based character. In a nutshell, this thread would work to allow base level Sith (and/or Immortals and Lords, if they are interested) to share what they know of their enemies movements and strategies to gain input and possibly get an upper hand in their next combat. For example:

Say one Sith on Dathomir is having trouble pushing his ships through a blockade surrounding the planet. If that Sith was a member of this Collective, they would be able to see if anyone had advice or knowledge on how to break the blockade. For this example, let us imagine another Sith in the Collective noticed a weak spot in the blockade's defenses that the original Sith did not see, or new there was a soft spot in a ship's armor or shield. They could share that information and turn the tide of the battle in the favor of the Sith.

Note, this is not a Sect or Seceding group from the Sith, but merely a group of Sith speaking to share information and strategy. Participation is voluntary, and this sign-up page will be open for those who seek to join at any time. For the sake of personal security, your character would not be required to show their face, but is required to tell their name and rank as to allow others to show them the proper respect. Another rule is that honesty, in this rare case, would be the best policy, and any information is subject to the Dark Lord's, Warlord's, or Emperor's investigation (my character wants to survive, and will not allow talk of decent or treachery for the sake of plausible deniability). For the sake of Meta, your character may only use this thread when not in combat (namely between assault or defense posts).

As stated, to sign up, leave your Name, character name (you may link to their profile if you see fit), and name their rank. When the Collective begins, you may mention which campaign your character is currently in for the sake of accuracy. Thank you, and I hope to see you in the Collective

Shere Cann - The Emperor's Hand/Apprentice.

Currently not in a campaign (because timeskip).

Perhaps this should rather be a database or holo-log, instead of a meeting. Say, one characters spots a weakness and puts a recording of him describing it onto the database. The database would be accessible to a certain group of individuals and as such you would share it with the Collective, but not the wider galaxy.

I understand your pint of view, and in the actual post I will mention how all information would be archived for further use (in other words, people can look back in the text). The information will only be available to those in the collective and higher ups (for the fact of not seeking to cross them). It is an honor to have you with us, Lord Cann

Dara used to own and operate SIN. The intelligence unit for the faction prior to the skip. He tried to archive it due to dwindling interest and the death (i think) of its creator and his old main PC but our fearless leader @Malon said no.

So I would check with the boss and his fellow AFL's to see what the plan is for the old group after the Time Skip.

I'll look into this in a bit. I've got some work to do for the TS, and then some PMs to answer, and then I'll look into this.

I have messaged @Malon to be inform him of this occuring. Thank you for the information @Taz

Since its a part of the Sith Faction, it'll probably require @Malon or another member of the Sith Leadership Team signing off on it.

It might not, actually. This can simply be a collective of individuals sharing information. Membership of the Sith is a prerequisite, but wouldn't have to be as it doesn't use faction assets. S.I.N was run like a sub-faction with thousands of NPCs to create a power bubble that shouldn't have been while the Collective is simply a data transfer without any power derived from its existence.

Also, just tagging random members and posting gifs is bad form and y'all know better. Especially when it concerns a new member whose pitching an idea.

Well, maybe. I see what you're getting at though, although I personally think it would be up to the FL's approval.

Dark Knights of Sin started out just as basically a squad of sith and sbz peeps. wasn't official or anything and meant to just harass the crap out of the pubs and jedi. the moff rank happened and prudence suggested Geir become moff of intelligence operations so that's when I made Sith intelligence network.

later down the line people weren't active in its operations for a few months and then Geir died so i was like "meh, no point in keeping this around." and made a post about disbanding it more or less. but S.I.N. was an official sith organization (unlike DKoS) so it is the FLs decision in what happens with it.

And it's reasonable to have more than one intelligence agency. Look at the Empire (mainly EU). It had a ton of them, and more to spare.

While this is a great idea and looks like a good start for something new and exciting. The Timeskip has only just begun and the Sith Leadership would prefer it right now if you guys stuck with primary faction groups. For the time being, get yourselves established as members of the Sith and then, once you've spent some time doing that, certainly come back and revisit this.

This request has been put ON HOLD
