EVENT: Tusken Uprising!!! Interest check. (Deathwatch and others!)

[Arcangel]

Tatooine: Tusken Uprising

Tatooine, a harsh desert planet far on the Outer Rim. After heavy fighting, the planet came under control of the Sith, who, uninterested in the world or nearby sectors, ceded control of the planet to their allies, The Deathwatch. Now the planet is at a breaking point. Even as Deathwatch flies its flags over the few settlements on the planet, the native Tuskens unite under a strong leader. Known only as the Jundland King, this new leader has united the nomadic peoples of the desert wastes. Enslaving the native Jawa population and utilizing their talents as scavengers to recover whatever advanced technology they could leftover from the Battle of Tatooine.

Now they strike. The outpost of Mos Pelgro falls, taken in a swift and merciless surprise attack that sends a tremor of fear through the inhabitants of this backwater planet. Never in living history have the Tuskens attacked with such precision, and even now outlying moisture farms drop out of contact with the rest of civilization. Questions run through the minds of the locals. What lead to this sudden surge of aggression? Will the new rulers of the planet, The Deathwatch, protect them? And why does everyone drink blue milk?

-----------------------------

Hi everyone! This is an event that i have been toying with... well since before the timeline started, and now i see a perfect opportunity to kick it off. That said, while this will be primarily a Deathwatch event, because Tatooine is under Deathwatch control, i would like to get as many members of the community involved as possible. I see this as having multiple threads, and would like to involve as many factions as possible. For instance an idea was suggest to me by @Diva Tumi , that the Republic could be involved by "loosing" arms into the hands of the Tuskens in order to subvert Deathwatch's control over the planet.

All ideas and suggestions are welcome!

Sign up Ky so if anyone starts having fun, I can ruin it.

 

[Taz]

and the Devil of Mos Espa will return to cement his title.

[StarWriter]

Considering Tycho is already there as this happens it may be prudent to have him signed up as well. Might make an interesting conflict, since he's trying to find his sister and trying to aid Diva after all. Conflict ftw.

 

[Gian Greydragon]

I'll get Q'san in on this was well.

 

[FinnSimmons]

So this going to be some PvP thing?

@Arclight
Is this a PvP event or did you think of this as an oportunity for people to use this as a backdrop for potential stories?

 

[Gian Greydragon]

I'd be down to do a little of both, really. We could do some sick cinematic PvP if we worked together on it.

 

[Nor'baal]

If the republic don't want to be the ones supplying the weapons, I'm happy to have the Desajiliacs do it.

Mostly intended as backdrop, though i am not opposed to some conflict between participants.

 

[Taz]

So our own threads and link them here ?

Well right now im just running an interest check. but if you have a thread idea feel free to pitch it here

 

[Diva]

@Taz are comparing sand people to the Taliban, or Deathwatch? One is exceptionally racist, the other is just dubious...

 

[Nor'baal]

In that case @FinnSimmons I would love to work out some non PvP stuff with you :)

 

[Taz]

Not racist but also not pc so in the interest of not derailing this i will remove it @Diva Tumi .

 

[Logan]

Totally down. Lemme know what might work best as far as direct Sith involvement.

 

[Gian Greydragon]

When I get around to it, given some irl circumstances, I'll definitely do a thread or two for this and post them here. I'm thinking of doing a siege of Mos Eisley and a desert ambush type thread.
