Star Wars: Solar Concerto (Recruiting)

Star Wars: Solar Concerto


It is the height of Imperial domination. The Rebellion is currently little more than an organized gang, with a few ships at their disposal, proving to be an incessant bug in need of purging. An iron fist grasps the entire galaxy, with the sovereign Lord and Savior of the galaxy, Emperor Palpatine at the rule. All is truly well.

However, after a recent engagement with Rebellion space forces, the antics of Rogue Squadron have proved to serve as somewhat of a message of the Alliance's skill, while certainly nothing near a threat to the mighty Empire, it still serves as an annoyance, a tick if you shall, to which the Emperor and his top commanders are very eager to get rid of. In an effort to rid the galaxy of this irritation, the Grand Council has decided on a course of action, to send one of their newest Victory class Star Destroyers, the Inquisition, on it's baptismal mission; annihilate Rogue Squadron.

Needing the finest officers to man this sleek vessel, the order has been made for four hotshot officer's to take the helm of the Destroyer, and lead it to glory and fame, helping to establish it's place among the flagships of the fleet, and eradicate the pesky squadron from the New Order. Indeed, they shall all be wiped out...


Game Specifics:

I am looking for four players, 6th Level, 32 point buy, to command the Inquisition in this crusade for the Galactic Empire. Characters should be a race which would realistically attain the rank of Captain, ie, Zabrak or Human. Some other races will be allowed, but a very detailed explanation of the background is necessary to flesh out how such a person rose so quickly through a very prejudiced and racist institution.

The game will take place entirely in space, aboard the Inquisition primarily, and will include Space Battles, in fighters and in massive fleet engagements. Heavy roleplaying will occur aboard the ship, and as such, players should have a sound understanding of the Empire, and how the military structure operates. I will allow material from:

Core Rulebook
Starships of the Galaxy
Hero's Guide
Arms and Equipment Guide
Rebellion Era Sourcebook

Also, SotG has some very good feats and PrC's for this campaign, and I would love to see it utilized. I understand the rarity of the title, and if you do desire to employ some, I am glad to email the necessary statistics from my copy. We will employ a battlemap for the space combat, and I shall be handling my rolling, I trust the players to treat their's honorably. Post character submissions here, with background and information, and in a few days, I shall choose the top four. Thank you.

I'll be happy to submit a pc. Your adventure seems very interesting. Is there any posibility to use the allien races listed in Alien anthology?
Also do you care to explain this

in more detail? I'm not a native english speaker so there are things I don't undestand.

 

[Caros]

I like it.

Heh, this looks like it'll be an absolute ball of a time. Been wanting to play a starwars game in forever and a day, but of course no one I know will ever run anything but D&D. *Sigh*

That said, I'll be happy to at least submit a character in short order (Probably the next day or two.) Though I did have a few questions to clear up:

Though I don't think I'll be using them, Force Sensitives?
Secondly, You mentioned both fleet engagements and in fighter combat. Are all players required as pilots or will navel officers be viable charachter options as well?
Thirdly, The fleet tends to take a... *Head scratch* Well a rather dismal view of female officers. You've mentioned the race issue. Is gender going to be one as well?
Fourth, You mentioned the core rulebook. I assume this is the revised? =)

The only other note I have to make is a personal heads up. I work on a two week rotation, one on, one off. During my off weeks I will be on frequently (4-5 times a day minimum) to post, while during my on weeks I'll generally be on much less (2-3 posts max.) due to time constraints. Provided this isn't a problem, I hope to play =)

I'm interested, because like Caros there are so few star wars, or even just non-dnd games online, but I don't like being evil. :\

If I did play my character would be very moderate, and likely to switch sides as soon as he realized what was really going on.

 

[Caros]

Heh.

And see, that's where you are quite wrong my good man. Evil? This is the galactic Empire you are discussing, the bastion of all order and peace under the infinate wisdom and careful guidance of the emperor himself.

No, in fact it is the rebellion that is the evil here, moving about like termites, digging holes in the grand tree of the empire, weakening it from within to allow for crime, smuggling, murder. Indeed they went so far as to destroy a very planet who, due to their pacifistic ways refused to supply them with weapons.

^_^;

Basically what I'm saying is that evil is only evil from a certain point of view. And realistically unless part of this campaign is going to involve bombarding civilians for laughs most of the 'evil' we do is going to be very point of view.

 

[Necro_Kinder]

I've been looking for a star wars game to join, I've never played it but i have the core book and I would like to give it a shot. Also, being evil is also fun. Any class restraints? Such as, no Jedi?

 

[Voda Vosa]

Dark side is trong in me XD.
I'm also interested in the class restriction.

 

[Dire Lemming]

What I'm saying is that I don't like playing evil characters. So if we're required to do clearly immoral things any character I might play will definitely take issue with it. Also, they'ed probably try to convince the enemy to surrender before fighting. That would be kind of unusual for an imperial officer though, I suppose it could make things interesting.

What's the timeline on this? The mention of Rogue Squadron makes me think post 1 ABY. Sounds interesting. I'll get a character up by tomorrow. I'm thinking off a Squadron leader of a TIE Interceptor squadron, though regular TIEs are fine.

DIRE LEMMING AND GM:

[sblock]D_L, if you don't like playing evil characters, perhaps your character can be one of the many that see what the Empire truly is in the course of the campaign and defect later on. It means that you can play a "good" Imperial, play in another Star Wars game, and when your character eventually defects, he can be a good "evil guy" for the rest of us to fight against.

If it's okay with the GM, that is.[/sblock]

 

[Dire Lemming]

Well sure possum, I thought of that as well, but that's a big 'if'.

It would certainly present some interesting roleplaying to have to go up against my former allies...
