Imperial Palace Bombed

[Dmitri]

As per A Nice Day For A Stroll, the Imperial Palace on Coruscant was bombed and destroyed.

 

[Taz]

First Korriban and now Coruscant ?

 

[Nor'baal]

Think of the repair bill!

The fire rises.

 

[Sreeya]

Ugh yeah, I finally know how the other factions have been feeling this entire timeline.

 

[Taz]

No one else finds it odd that we have the largest Military in the entire galaxy (huge number somewhere I don't wanna look up) yet we can't protect two of our temples in the heart of our faction territory ?

 

[Nor'baal]

I do not find it wierd.
I find it funny.

Someone in the IAF needs to get sacked. I recommend Admiral Piatt.

Of course, but both of these attacks had help from within the Imperium. Korriban was by Coterie, an organization made up of Sith. Coruscant was due to a Sith giving away Intel so a single person could easily walk in and attack. Defenses only work for full scale invasions, not when your own people take down the defenses and open the doors to attack. :)

This was very much needed. The war has been terribly one sided, with the good guys spectacularly losing or just focusing entirely on hiding.

For Coruscant, it was the result of the loss of the Ubiqtorate. Vica, Bee's character who led Ubiq before defecting, turned over the necessary codes to carry out the bombing. So for all the Empire knew once Ral's Jedi Knight arrived at Andraste's palace, it was simply an Imperial intelligence agent landing at the temple.

Plus, military might has never been able to defeat what essentially amounts to an act of terrorism.

I liked rping in Coruscant. It offered a unique setting. :)

Weiss can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the title is a bit misleading. The Coruscant Palace board is closed, because the palace was destroyed.

Coruscant can still be an RP setting for those who are able to get onto the planet.

Such an act also forced Darth Somnus to publicly acknowledge to the military the Ubiq was compromised, and helped further weaken the image that the empire cannot be stopped.

Blowing up the temple is a major blow to the moral of imperial loyalists, and a major boost for rebel sentiment.

All in all, a great move!

That implies the IAF exist.

I think there could have been a strong IAF had some people been allowed to act, but I'm not privy to that whole story so I'll leave it alone. Terrorist acts and a turncoat leader makes sense. I did read the start of the thread Bee did to take the "Ubi" offline from the rest of the faction, I was unaware Ral's involvement after.

 

[Dmitri]

Temple reopened.
