New System: Flashpoints​

In an effort to flesh out the stories of the ongoing galactic war, we will be introducing a new system to allow members to RP in the setting of the war that extends beyond Invasion and PvP threads. Because military campaigns would consist of weeks to months of combat that is not always represented by individual battles, planets that have been recently battled over or planets along the edges of the warfront will periodically be declared "flashpoints."

When a planet is a flashpoint, it will mean that that location is open for members of any faction to RP on and engage in battles ranging from small skirmishes to larger confrontations in space and on the ground. The goal of this system is to allow people to write out larger scale battles and unique scenarios strictly for storytelling purposes without the stakes of winning or losing. No territory will switch hands as a result of flashpoints except as agreed beforehand by faction leadership. This allows people to incorporate into their RP larger military forces and ships, long and gritty military campaigns, or subversive sabotage and diplomacy without having to worry as much about smaller logistics. Please note that rules regarding rank will still apply. Privates/ Acolytes/Padawans/etc. should not be commanding massive forces even if those forces are present on the battlefield.

In addition to the open battlefields, many of these flashpoints will be associated with writing prompts to assist members in thinking of things to RP. These prompts may be used or not depending on the preference of the writers. We hope that this will be an enjoyable new system for everyone involved. So without further ado, I present the first flashpoint of the war: Denon!

Denon​

The First Battle of Denon was a victory for the Sith Order, but at high cost to both sides. Famous and high ranking Jedi were slain, the now-Dark Lord went missing for months, and the people of Denon were caught in the crossfire. Under the Empire, they began to recover their world only to have sanctions from the Core worlds send people spiraling into poverty. With the Jedi's subsequent liberation from the Empire, the battle has been thick. People's lives have once again been uprooted, battles still occur in the streets, and more people have been plunged into homelessness and starvation.

But Think of the Children
With the rise in battles between the two force-using factions, the citizens of Denon have started to shift to a culture of contempt or outright fear and hatred of force users. a recent push by a newly formed extremist faction has kidnapped or otherwise abducted a large group of force sensitive people, including children. The Empire has dispatched forces to assassinate these extremists and recruit the children while the Jedi and their allies have sent forces to liberate the children and arrest those responsible.

The Rule of [Denon] is Mine
Even as this anti-Force-user sentiments grow, neither side is willing to give up on influencing the world of Denon. While battles may be raging in the streets on some portions of the planet, there is no less ferocity taking place in the planet's leadership. In hopes of stemming the tide of anti-Force sentiment and gaining more favor in the political circuits, agents from both sides of the war have been working through diplomacy or subterfuge to see mayors, governors, and other elected officials favorable to their cause placed in office.

Open War is Upon You
Locking down the routes in and out of Denon has been nearly impossible. Though most would consider the true battle for Denon to be over and a victory for the Free Worlds Alliance, it has been a long process for the FWA to remove the many Imperial forces on the planet. In many corners of the world, soldiers are still battling it out against one another sometimes engaging in battles containing hundreds of combatants. Skirmishes for the skies and atmosphere are still a common sight as Imperial fighters and bombers return to make attacks, and the people of Denon continue to suffer. Imperial forces have been tasked with a guerrilla warfare against the FWA while the Jedi and their allies are forced to continue to hunt down these insurgents.
