|
|
Pulling from what Carn and Solo talked about in the other thread, with a few additions, this is what I have:
[UNDETERMINED PLANET]
- Everyone arrives on their own accord, for whatever reason.
Shortly into it, the True Empire shows up.
Now they were originally planning a blockade of the planet, perhaps for resources or cooperation, surrender, whatever... there are a bunch of reasons the True Empire could show up... but the TE commander learns of some high-ranking "political targets". ex: Han Solo, so they launch strike teams.
The FIRST STRIKE TEAM FAILS, due to player and native tactics. The True Empire has the ability to scrap the whole planet and be done with it, but decides to try again, but this time, Lumiya shows up and offers the True Empire her services.
With a spy already in close quarters to Solo, she is able to capture him with ease and brings him aboard one of the True Empire vessels. A "conversation" ensues.
Meanwhile on the surface, the remaining natives and players that had survived Lumiya's raid (which happened to be perfect, which could arouse suspicion of a spy... and a little finger-pointing drama) plan a counter-raid, probably sneaking aboard a supply ship - probably full of a resource or item the True Empire came for, or perhaps, one of the TE's own vessels. (Using Endor as a historical reference for this particular tactic. )
Lightsabers and blasters clash in a dramatic fight to save the Corellian, when in just the nick of time, a NR or IR fleet arrives....
Armadas clash, enough for our heroes to escape the battlefield.
[/SCENE]
Feel free to clean this up a bit. |

I love the rough outline. At this point, I think it's just working out the fine details and who's going to be where and who's doing what...stuff like that.
But that's what this thread is for. |

What kind of conversation are we thinking of? Because I have a couple ideas with Morgan that may or may not work depending on what other specifics might end up being used. _________________ Morgan ZIM: Bounty Hunter, Gun for Hire, Freelance Peacekeeping Agent, Cybernetic Scoundrel, and all around disruptor of the normal order of things. |

Well, this could be a good way to see that Alex and I have actually put our personal qualms aside
I figure Jase and team our there for different reasons, but show up too late to prevent Hans abduction. Then they can assist in the rescue. _________________ Jase Denora

Hey Jase, if Sara's there this would be the perfect opportunity for her to get in with the Denora Academy temporarily. Afterwards she hitches a ride with Jase and he takes her to Bogden.
Kinda like he sees her in action and sees potential or whatever. Just tossing that out. _________________ "No One Deserves To Die, Except For Those Who Do." |

I'm not sure myself. It's something we didn't really go over yet, but it seems like Alex has some kind of idea. Maybe he'll be able to help you. |

I'm thinking Lumiya would use some sort of violence and deception to try to get Han Solo to cooperate. What did you have in mind? It's wide open at this point.
I agree Jase! |

What I got from 'Conversation' was a polite, decoy word for 'Interrogation'
All I need to do with Badim and Clare is get them past Carratos, they then head to Naboo to drop off Badim's parents (Could even happen off-screen), return to Nar Shaddaa to gather the things from their apartments where Clare finds something in Candrog's computer systems, of which leads the two to the certain planet (At this point we might as well make a non-canon one <_< ) for Clare to discover the truth about herself.
Once we determine a planet, I can even shout out a non-canon one if anyone wants, I'll get Sara there and ready for action.
I think Tarison Var is going to be in reserve for a long while, likely after Sara leaves the Bogden Academy, then she'll learn a few darkside powers without realizing they're dark until she knows them than deals with Var (But Alex and I have a special plan for that little bit) _________________ "No One Deserves To Die, Except For Those Who Do." |

Maybe everyone should name 3-5 planets to get the brainstorming going. It would be cool if we got this worked out by Tuesday night. |

And they should be planets controlled by either the IR and NR, and on the rim of the Unknown Regions. If someone picked Tatooine, not only would that not be a high target for the TE, it's also way too deep.
I'll get cracking. _________________ "No One Deserves To Die, Except For Those Who Do." |

...I'm tempted to suggest Endor, but Daara has quashed the idea of a revenge strike there.
But the day of reckoning for the murder of the Emperor, the cowardly strike at the Death Star, and those motherfrakking furbags will come! BLOOD WILL FEED THE BURNING FORESTS! THE TREE VILLAGES SHALL BE NO MORE! AND WE'LL SEE HOW MUCH YOU LIKE YOUR SKULLS BEING USED AS DRUMS!
Currently, the TE operates forward bases at Bilbringi (Muunilinst is as far northward as we're going to get). It's close to the Core, so... yeah, Tatooine is way, way out there. Really, most of the "major" planets are too distant or actually strategically unimportant. If I could find my Atlas, I could run through some of the hyperlanes... but I can't. _________________ Chief Marshal Riene Zend

I have my atlas handy. What did you want me to look for?
Also, I was thinking that a way to get Han out there would be to involve Solo Enterprises in some way. It's not going to matter that much to the overall plotline, but something with enough significance that he would be operating out of there.
Alex, I'm also assuming that you will be abducting Han on the planet itself or did you plan to do that prior to their arrival? I'm a little iffy on the timing of that. And while I'm mentioning Solo Enterprises, maybe it would also be good to discuss if we're going to follow through with the buy-out. Maybe hit me up on MSN later tonight or if you want, we can iron that out here in the thread. Let me know. |

Anything and everything on a direct link to Bilbringi. After all, hyperspace lanes are our roads and highways... and planets are just the new towns that need to be secured/garrisoned/conquered to impede an enemy's movement. So, either the TE needs to expand somewhat—and I know Cray hates time-skips—or this needs to be the next conquest. Or, the one immediately after. _________________ Emperor Ams Jendob, Ruler of the Imperial Remnant

Alright, here's a planet and some reasons for this planet I'm suggesting:
1. Bakura
A Galactic Union world, which would have the interests of both Imperial Remnant and New Republic alike, it's also a busy world with a three cities: Salis D'aar (Capital), Gesco City and Prytis.
It's really a political and strategic target, since a historic truce treaty between the Alliance and the Old Empire was signed here (Wiki).
It's major exports, for the strategic portion, are:
Namana liquor
Namana-based products
Repulsorlift coils
Strategic metals
The former two being luxuries for ranking officers of the TE, once captured. The latter two being a very strategic target since, if held, would provide Repulsor-tech and some armor.
(Personally I think this is The best option. It's near TE space, even though it's not near Bilbringi, it's a TE target against the Union/NR/IR and one it can also benefit from with the metals and Repulsorlift coils, and it has exports and imports for Solo Enterprise) _________________ "No One Deserves To Die, Except For Those Who Do." |

Ooo, I like it. It also provides a nice long-term strategic possibility, allowing Zend a means to form a pincer movement on her way to Corsucant and Corulag.
Bilbringi allows her a northern path to the core and a means to start to cut the Empire apart from the New Republic, while Bakura would allow her a more direct aggressive path from the south. _________________ Morgan ZIM: Bounty Hunter, Gun for Hire, Freelance Peacekeeping Agent, Cybernetic Scoundrel, and all around disruptor of the normal order of things. |

After running the idea by Alex and getting a positive sign, I'm going to post it here to get thoughts on it from the rest of you:
Initially, Morgan and Norrteth will show up not long before Zend's forces arrive, so that the Shape is still in orbit when the attack begins. Not able to escape the system, they'll be forced down on the planet, during which point they'll be separated.
After joining up with the main group, he'll learn that Nico is part of the group as well, though despite the grudge between them, they can't outright kill each other there or then.
He will, however, get the idea to use Zend's forces as a means of getting rid of her. Either contacting them directly or getting pinned down without an escape plan after a fight, he'll make a deal with them where he will supposedly sell out the resistance group.
However, his real plan is to arrange it so that when the supposed backstab happens, it'll only be Nico who gets caught/killed by TE forces while everyone else can use the opportunity to potentially get a way off the planet.
Nico, however, being the clever and resourceful little bugger that she is, manages to get an idea that something is up, and manages to wreck Morgan's plan in such a way that Han is captured instead, and to avoid making things worse, Morgan has to act like that was his plan all along (mostly, since he'll claim he intended to help catch most of them, it just didn't pan out that way).
While everyone else would still be on the planet, Morgan would use the opportunity of supposedly being on the side of the True Empire to find Norrteth and the Shape, then use his status as an agent on the inside to help get Han free and make it easier for the surface forces to succeed in their planned attack. Possibly without either group knowing what the other is up to until after the whole plot has concluded and people have an opportunity to compare notes. _________________ Morgan ZIM: Bounty Hunter, Gun for Hire, Freelance Peacekeeping Agent, Cybernetic Scoundrel, and all around disruptor of the normal order of things. |

Please read the RPG discussion forum on "Time Leap" idea. I think this could make this Plot a lot easier to undertake.
Thanks Morgan! |
