Infiltration within the Galactic Alliance

[TWD26]

• What is going to happen in your plot?
  
  Per the Request of the Emperor and the Royal Family, Caran will infiltrate the Galactic Alliance, posing as a defecting Imperial Citizen. I will simply stay as a deep cover informant, reporting on the alliance's plans and activities. I will be partaking in Rebel activities and will ultimately attempt to gain their trust. When the time comes and the Republic aim to stomp out the Rebellion, that is when his mission will be complete.​
• What other players will be a part of this?
  
  Currently I know that Xorism, Rexx, myself, and Herrith will be involved. Xorism and Rexx will be my contacts within the Empire, while Herrith will be my initial gateway into the Republic.​
• Where are all the places (if more than one) that your plot will be taking place?
  
  Wherever the Rebellion Ends up taking me.​
• Please provide a basic in-character timeline of what you expect to happen.
  
  So in order to become a full time spy, I will need to defect, and my first plot will be a staged defection. Currently this is the thread idea.
  

  1.) Caran Malo meets with Xorism's drast character, in which she will personally instruct Caran on his mission. He will be doing the job per the Emperor's personal request. He is told that if he chooses to accept such a mission he will no longer be "officially" recognized as an Imperial and will be marked a traitor. There is no safety and no rescue if anything goes wrong, on the record this mission doesn't exist. - ASK THREAD
  
  2.) Caran begins to prepare for his mission, entering a public holonet cafe, in which he begins to search around for a possible contact or Rebel sympathizer. After finding the contact details on a possible rebel sympathizer Caran now how his potential out towards the Rebels--he sends an anonymous message stating to expect a call. OPEN THREAD
  
  3.) Caran calls his newfound contact in the Rebellion, making plans for a pick up location and date. - Open Holocall thread.
  
  4.) Caran collects up his things and takes a public shuttle across the galaxy to the planet he is supposed to meet up with his contact within the Rebellion. Chatting it up with other flight passengers. Open Thread.
  
  5.) Caran arrives to the location of the Rebel meetup. Here he will talk with Herrith and whoever she brings, if he can convince her that he's serious about joining and all goes well they'll bring him into the Rebellion, otherwise he's as good as dead if he gets caught. ((Not sure if this needs to be open or if it can be ask)).
  ​
• What do you or your character hope to achieve with this plot? What is the "end-game"?
  
  His first goal is to sneak into the Rebellion, posing as an Imperial Defector. After that he will slowly attempt to gain their trust and report any information gathered in Open PVP threads.​
• Do you need any involvement of canon NPCs or faction leaders to be DMed by a staff member? If so, please detail who/what and for what purpose.
  
  I don't think so.​

Just to specify a couple of things here @TWD26:

1) The Open threads you reference will need to be Open/PvP. I'm guessing that's what you meant, but just clarifying.

2) The bigger issue is a clarifier on the Galactic Alliance. While you can be sent to investigate a cell of the Galactic Alliance, because these are all separate cells it's not like your character would instantly have full access to the structure of the Alliance. At this point, the Empire doesn't even know there is a full, structured rebellion.

Yeah, I just said GA to make things easier. I'll be rolling with Herrith's group. The ones that are open are PVP, though I had a question on the specifics of the holo-call thread, I figured I'd leave that Open for anyone to listen into if they really wanted--will that still work?

 

[Phoenix]

With the other threads you have, that should be fine

 

[TWD26]

I'll post a new revision to this plot soon, as Herrith's character died. I will need to change some things around.

SHADOW ARSENAL
- LOST IDENTITY -
____________________________________​

Lost Identity, is the first chapter of the Shadow Arsenal, series that I have been developing behind the scenes. The goal of the whole series is to ultimately is to learn to write and develop a fun action thriller/spy story. I have no ultimate plan of destroying any particular faction or becoming a power to be reckoned with within the galaxy.

Instead, the goal of this series is to instead tell a complex story, full of deep character connections, twists and betrayals, hypocritical and flawed relationships in which I aim to question what it means to be a soldier, to live within a lie, and to explore what it means to be a person.

Ultimately the series will revolve around the eventual destruction of an NPC organization, which I'm currently calling the Cabal. The Cabal is working on a secret bomb project, known as Shadow Arsenal. Shadow Arsenal is a reference to a minor blurb about a forgotten missle arsenal in EA's Star Wars the Old Republic. This shadow arsenal was going to be used to bring this cabal to power, but the plans for this weapon would be destroyed along with the Cabal -- if the plot was a success. If my character was killed off long before the conclusion I would most likely just have the cabal and their plans fall into obscurity. I really don't have a desire to have people fighting over a set of bombs--but if you guys really wanted to use something like that throughout the site, then I'm sure we could work on developing something to make it pretty fun--otherwise it's just a plot device to tell a story around.

With the first chapter, Lost Identity, will focus on setting up the premise of the series and will serve as essentially a prologue. The general synopsis and vague script that I will be using for this story involves this:

Caran Malo is one of the Imperial Republica's most loyal members, he has sworn to take an oath to protect the Empire from its sworn enemies at any cost. Though this oath and his commitment to his Emperor will be tested as he is given a new assignment. To leave everything behind and infiltrate a Rebel Cell--if only vanishing was that simple.

A fellow Imperial, Astridia Kazachecho (Herrith) , has fallen distraught after discovering the death of her sister who was a member of a Rebel Cell. Seeing an opportunity, Caran convinces her to come with him and to leave the Empire and to find her sister's former friends. Though things become complicated after he learns of her plans for revenge, revenge against the very family he has sworn to protect. How will the Imperial Agent balance the two forces weighing on his shoulders, how will they slip through Imperial Space unnoticed? Find out in Chapter 1: Lost Identity.

________________________________________________________________
I. Who Will Participate in Chapter 1: Lost Identity?

• It's hard to say who may join the open threads, but I do have a list of characters that will be participating in the plot for sure, I will list them below:
  • ____________________________________________________________
  • Caran Malo: (Main Character) is a police officer within the Imperial Republica and extremely loyal to the Drast Dynasty. He is the one trusted to infiltrate a part of the Rebellion.
  • ____________________________________________________________

  • ____________________________________________________________
    
  • Alika Kazaczecho: (Mentioned) Was a Rebel that was killed on Correllia by Eddard Thul-Drast. Caran was working the missing person's case on Kaz before being transferred to the top secret infiltration mission. She is also the sister of Astridia, and her death is what forces Caran and Astridia to cross paths.
  • ____________________________________________________________
  • Eddard Thul-Drast: A member of the Drast Dynasty, Eddard was responsible for killing Alika on Corellia. It was his actions that would lead Caran to pursue Astridia as a way to slip out of Imperial space and to the Rebels.
  • ____________________________________________________________
  • Alexandra Thul-Drast: Tasked by the Emperor, Alexandra is the one who assigns Caran his mission to infiltrate a Rebel Cell.
  • ____________________________________________________________

  • ____________________________________________________________
  • Valerie Tagge: Valerie is a member of a small Rebel Cell, and the eventual contact that Astridia and Caran will use to join the Rebels.
  • ____________________________________________________________

II. What Locations will Lost Identity take place?

1. Corellia: Corellia is where this story begins. After Eddard, on behalf of Imperial Intelligence, kills Alikia for attempting to spread Rebel Propaganda, a missing person's call is placed to the Imperial Police. Officer Caran Malo reports to the scene and begins an investigation -- only to come across Eddard who tells him the truth about the woman.
2. Coruscant: Coruscant is where most of the first half of the plot will take place. This is where Caran will meet with Alexandra to discuss his mission, as well as meet with Astridia to break the news about the death of her sister. This planet will also be where the two investigate her sister's ties to Rebels and make contact via the holonet to one.
3. Elix Memorial Spaceport: Located on Coruscant, this spaceport will be where Caran and Astrida board Passneger Flight IR-778 to Arami--in which they state their reason for travel, is to watch a large Swoop Racing Competition.
4. Arami: Arami is located in Imperial Hutta Space, located on the fringes of the Outer Rim. Here they will meet with their Rebel contact and simply vanish--never to return from their trip.

IV. What do you or your character hope to achieve with Lost Identity?

My goal with Lost Identity is firstly to tell a fun and engaging story for anyone and everyone involved. I would like to set up the premise for a great Timeline spanning Espionage Thriller story--Inspired off the likes of Metal Gear Solid, James Bond, and The Jason Bourne Series.

Ultimately, this story will help to establish the setting and initial characters for the Shadow Arsenal Series. From an In character level if everything is a success, both Herrith and I will have defected to the Rebellion -- though Caran would be doing so as a spy, and Astridia would be doing so because she truly wants to defect. She would have no knowledge of his true mission.

Though on an OOC level, Herrith and I have talked about what my character is doing, and that he is a spy. I am submitting this plot as a joint effort between the two of us, as we figured it would be easier to escape together than by ourselves.
_____________________________________________________________________
V. Do you need any canon NPCs to be DM'd for Lost Identity?

I don't need any of the main faction NPCs for this first chapter. I will be making some NPCs that will be built specifically for this series in later chapters, but for the first chapter I will not need any.
_____________________________________________________________________
VI. Other Notes

Sorry for the long read, I hope you like the idea and I'm looking forward to working with you guys to design or further the story, as this series is something that I've been messing around with and designing since Nov.

 

[Phoenix]

I'm going to approve this. Assume all the threads that you said might have to be Open/PvP do have to be Open/PvP. Also, be sure to review this. While your plot is approved, your character will need to follow these rules when entering the new faction or risk immediate discipline.

 

[TWD26]

Everyone seems to have a habit of dying or getting themselves captured that are a part of this plot, so I'm going to have to scrap it. Fun idea on paper, but doesn't fit an RP who's pace outmatches my posting speed. @Phoenix
