So a lot of people are unsure as to who the Chiss are and just know that they're the blue guys from the middle of nowhere and that Thrawn was one of them. So, this thread is to clear up anyyyyyy potential confusion you guys and gals might have.

(Inspiration from Nexus' thread on the Imp Knights btw)

The Chiss are far from just normal blue humans with glowing red eyes. I love them and they are by far my favorite SW species and culture.

I'd just think of a noise you like and add a name around it. There's a nice long description of the names here (pulled from Wookieepedia):

Spoiler: loltag

Traditionally, Chiss names consisted of a long tripartite structure with three distinct sections.[1] Usually, this followed the convention of the first and last being family names and the middle being the given name. Abbreviated versions of these were known as core names with their usage being a questionable choice. This was because full names were required for formal occasions, strangers and those that were believed to be the speakers social inferior. However, this policy was capable of being broken if there were good and valid reasons for doing so. Such was the case when dealing with outsiders who had trouble pronouncing Chiss full names..[4] The predominance of core names, at least in communication with outsiders, was such that a number of such names were recorded without the full name being known, such as Prakk, Kayree, Lev, Szardra, Voss and Zilvad. Apparently, the core name was typically formed by combining the short central section of the name with the last sound of the preceding section and the opening sound of the following. For example, Mitth'raw'nuruodo was Thrawn, Kres'ten'tarthi was Stent and Brast'alshi'barku was Talshib. The female officers Hess'irolia'nuruodo (Irolia) and Ina'ganet'nuruodo (Ganet) appear to be exceptions to this rule.

The Chaf diplomats Chaf'orm'bintrano ("Formbi") and Chaf'ees'aklaio ("Feesa") bore the name of the Ruling Family to which they belonged as the first element of their full name, and this also defined the opening sound of their core name. Likewise the brothers Mitth'raw'nuruodo and Mitth'ras'safis were both (adoptive) members of the Eighth Ruling Family, suggesting that this family was known as the Mitth. A similar family relationship is implied between General Prard'ras'kleoni ("Drask") and Station Commander Prard'enc'iflar, although it is not known whether "Prard" is one of the Nine Ruling Families.

Senior Chiss military personnel surrendered Family status on assuming high command. Admiral Ar'alani of the Defense Hierarchy and possibly Sev'rance Tann of the CIS seem to have eliminated their Family designation from their names. The Fel Empire and later Krayt Empire Moff Fehlaaur'aitel'loro was consistently addressed by his fellow Moffs as Fehlaaur, the section usually reserved for the family name. Another Chiss with an anomalous name was the important historical figure Jer'Jo Cam'Co, a Syndic and one of the founders of the Ascendancy.

Good luck. :CHappy

As an aside to the name thing, will there be a Chiss oriented RP for us to begin in?

I'm gonna get a list of missions set up for you guys soon.

 

[Travis]

Not just missions, but is there a place for us to introduce and develop our characters as well? A home base of sorts? Most of us are military, so maybe a military base?

Oh! In that sense, yeah, I'm not gonna have my military guy up untill a little later, but if you guys want to do something like that, it's cool with me and I'd join once he's up.

 

[Travis]

Where would we do that? I am sorry for the questions, but I am new here and don't want to just start breaking down the doors and screwing things up. Every site does things differently and I don't want to step on any toes.

Story board works fine.

The Story as far as forums go, you can place it on Csilla if you wish.

I might join that tommorow mate.

 

[Neo Shark]

Is there a list of standard gear and equipment for the Chiss army? All I really know is that they use Charric weaponry (did I phrase that correctly?).

This is coming soon, working with Jiang and Santoro to piece it together, but I'll get back to you ASAP.
