GENERAL SETTING
A criminal organization of unknown origin has launched an assault on Arramanx. Their intentions seem to be to drive the empire off the planet. They have already swarmed some smaller imperial bases and are steadily advancing towards the main base of imperial operations on the planet. Their forces consist of a wide variety of thugs, mercenaries and even force sensitives. Their leaders are hiding in the shadows.
Meanwhile, criminals who act on their own haven`t been laying low. The imperial governor of the planet has been assassinated, as well as some of the higher-standing imperial officers. There have been known bounties on their heads, but what the assassins failed to calculate, was that the planet was under a quarantine and they wouldn`t even be able to leave. They are now seeking a way out of the box, they have locked themselves in.
Imperial forces have managed to hold up the advancement and sustain the assault to ground. Space stations remain intact, although the way things are going a space battle may be imminent. A single distress signal has been sent, without revealing much on the situation, other then that it is dire. Reinforcements are required, be they sith, troopers, chiss, or mandalorians. Such criminal acts can not and must not be left unpunished.
NPCs
Cytheria is an imperial officer in charge of the ground defenses on Arramanx. With most of the other officers and the governor dead, she became of highest rank on the planet, which put her in charge of everything. She was the one who sent the distress signal, from the base of sith operations. She was disciplined and authoritive, but she had never been put in a situation like that and found it hard to keep order and have the imperial troops obey her. Many deserted and Cytheria suspected some were plotting a riot, to remove the quarantine and get off the planet.
Daria is an imperial trooper. Normally in charge of the ground guards, she had began plotting to start a riot and remove the quarantine, so she could flee the planet. Her idea had many sympathisers, but it was hard to pick them, as she had to be cautios not to expose herself, or her plan. She often got into fights with the officer in charge, which was bad enough for her reputation, but her devious nature and smooth talks might just get the riot ready in a few days time.
Atran is a mandalorian, who was simply passing through the planet and decided to stop for supplies, when the quarantine hit and he was even placed under custody, being suspected for a couple of crimes, one of which being the assassination of the governor. He found the situation troublesome and was trying to find a way out of his prison cell and off the planet, but knowing that he was under heavy survailance and his ship had probably been tampered with, he had little hope of saving himself.
Her alias being the Crismon Huntress, it is easy to tell that she was a bounty hunter. However, unlike most, she tried to be an honest one. The girl was after the bounties on the heads of some imperial officers and the governor, but someone beat her to them. Of course the imperials didn`t believe her and tried to take her into custody, but her quick wits and agile nature, helped her evade them. Since then she started looking for the one who beat her to her prey.
Cliara was a brilliant assassin. She was silent, deadly and never left a trace leading to herself. She served nobody and worked for herself. Bounties usually on`t intigue her, however, this time she had been hired by an employer who wouldn`t take no for an answer and instead of getting a reward in the form of credits, she recieved a reward in the form of being allowed to live. She was the one who assassinated the imperial officers and the governor. But she didn`t like being toyed with, so instead of going into hiding, she began looking for her annonymous employer, with a simple thought in her head - revenge.
The man behind the curtain. The puppeteer of the show going down on Arramanx. He put up the bounties and he hired the assassin, he was also the leader of the organized mercenaries, who launched the attack on the planet. Not much is known about him and he is yet to make an entrance to the scene.
ENEMY FORCES
Force sensitives, trained much like the sith marauders. They are the first to charge and focus mostly on lightsaber combat. They use little force abilities, but their skills with the lightsaber are renowned. They wear heavy armor, which gives them good protection against both melee and ranged weapons, but there are weak spots in the armor, which can be spotted by either close review, or through Force Shatterpoint.
Force sensitive assassins. They are trained in the ways of the force and have some skill with lightsaber. They use the Djem So/Shien stance, but focus mostly on silent kills. Their force abilities vary, but most common are cloak, lightening, force grip, force drain and force horror. Their armor is light and doesn`t give them much protection, but thanks to their force cloak, they might not require that protection.
The rest of the mercenaries are common thugs, hired with the sole purpose of forming a large force, big enough to support the force sensitive troops and help them in taking over the planet. A lot of money has been invested in these street criminals, as well as everything else around the assault, yet the reasons behind it are unclear.
-------------------------------------
Well that`s about it. I`m looking for people to do this with, as you can see there are quite a few NPCs to be controlled and there are many options for PCs to jump in. The RP is mostly for imperials, sith, mandos and chiss. It hasn`t been approved by an admin, yet, so you have enough time to sign up. There are no rank restrictions, but you should keep in mind that not anyone will be permitted. I`ll be going with Drenn. I`m open to questions.
