[Mistress]

I rather appreciate the detailed explanation. :)

The Rebellion. That faction will have three cells: Alliance for a New Republic (former Galactic Alliance aligned people), the True Throne (Imperial Knights and other ex-Imperials), and Civilian Resistance (civilians).

So, is the time skip going to happen soon after Rom and Sree finish their thread or what?

As we've said, we will know the exact date once the write ups are finished. There is a specific set of write ups, with a specific group responsible for writing them, that is mostly holding this up. I'm not going to say who that is, but I want to be as transparent as I fairly can on that one.

Also, we will be releasing the full 10 year history soon. It is currently being revised and, once it is, it should be ready for release. I think you're all going to like it, so stay tuned!

That would be me. Just saying. :)

EDIT: Don't worry hommies, I'm working on it. :P

I like the name simply being "The Rebellion" overall, and the various cell names are pretty cool too.

Looking forward to the 10 year history so I can begin revamping Whisper's profile. Pretty much considering just abandoning Sol all together.

 

[Brandon Rhea]

Just so people are aware, although the time skip history as currently written is about 10 pages long (in Word), it also just skims over most events rather than going into any extraordinary detail. Individual faction history write ups will be more detailed about events pertaining to those factions.

Yeah I like the cell idea as well.

As for Sol getting abandoned in the archives I could offer a possible solution. How about him getting tortured going on the account of the Hutt Cartel, or one of their enemies? It could be an interesting angle to play that would at least provide him with a reason to interact with other characters, and who knows? If you enjoy RPing him keep him around, if not, he's still a badass looking profile.

As for Whisper I'm a fan of that character! Can't wait to see more of her post-skip and have her become more of a mainstream character.

That's actually not a bad idea at all, I was considering rebooting him as well, but couldn't think of an interesting direction to take it. Getting tangled back up with the Hutt Cartel on a more official basis could certainly be interesting. He was supposed to be drug addled, almost pathetic dark version of Han Solo, that could help that idea.

And as for Whisper, thank you, the feedback relating to her has been really positive and has made writing with her a lot of fun. She was always better in practice than in profile, so she deserves a better one.

Looking forward to finally seeing all of the different write ups regardless.

Will the ANR have access to ships from the former GA Fleet? And building on that can ANR Cells be ship based with the idea of forming a Rebel Fleet at some point?

They'll have a few ships, and some Rebels may be on ships, but the former GA fleet is pretty much gone for the most part. The Rebellion will need to make other contacts and allies in order to build a fleet at some point. There will be hints of that in the aforementioned history write up.

 

[Black Noise]

Will any Chiss splinter groups, if lead by formerly prominent Chiss military figures(not Chiss intelligence leaders, actual military leaders of general-admiral rank or higher), have access to small fleets and military forces(such as only one of the thousands of Chiss patrol fleets of 10-20 ships and a small army capable of invading a lesser armed world?). I can't imagine all Chiss assets would either totally disappear, completely devote themselves to their own world, or totally allow themselves to be transferred into Sith hands.

 

[Phil]

I think the current idea for the Rebellion, and what others should take note, is that it's going to start small and not a force to yet be reckoned with. Meaning no worlds under their direct control, no massive fleets, no huge armies, etc. Not something that will garnish attention of potential enemies.

What will the requirements be for building said ships? Simply having the writeups to do so or will there be a size requirement for companies?

Indeed. Doing it too quickly comes consequences, because you're unable to organize it as effectively/quickly. When I was Imperial Knight Faction Leader, part of the downfall that started with me was I tried to militarize the Imperial Knights. My goal was to make them a force to be reckoned with though would divide them into cells so they would be harder to locate and neutralize. However, by focusing too much on gaining the strength rather than separating into cells, gaining the strength during the division and/or after the separation, it led to the Imperial Knights to be congregated and an easy target, not to mention gaining Imperium attention. The Imperium attacked and the Imperial Knights suffered for it.

Any Chiss group would fall under the independent faction umbrella and, as such, be required to follow the independent faction rules. Whatever forces they have will have to be rules compliant.

Rebel leaders and those who follow should take this advice, otherwise we'll come to major problems and possible battle freezes that we love so much.

So basically every indie faction is equal and no more important then the other, depending on how it's members go about the RP?

Equal under the rules, yes. Some are going to be bigger than others but they are all indies.

The Sith aren't going to do to the Rebels what they did to the Imperial Knights and the Mandos. Those two factions were expendable. Ultimately they were not necessary for the timeline, particularly the Imperial Knights (in their previous conception, not so much now).
