No worries. You should be able to join at just about any time you feel like it, I'm sure there will be enough chaos.
NPC help is always good.
@Faster Than Light @DraconicPsycho You guys can either wait until Dawnrider and I find you, or you can have some fun killing NPCs in the meantime.
Maybe I'll try to get a gear thing together for the Kamash tribe so you have some kind of standard for the weapons they use and such instead of having battle axes in one post and then rubber ducks in the next etc.

Partially finished it. Everybody check this out: http://www.thestarwarsrp.com/forum/index.php?threads/warriors-of-the-kamash-tribe.75280/
I'll be adding it to the main post of this thread as well.

I'll be able to post after I get off work today. Which would be around 4pm central. I could move my character into another position and (maybe kill some NPCs along the way)? Rather than waiting at his fighter.
And thanks for the NPC thread. Cheers m8!

We could have our siths work together to take an important point or kill a squad or 2.

Blightwing would want to avoid the fighting between the two armies as much as possible and strike their VIPs from the sidelines. Anyone is welcomed to follow him, but Alister just going to dodge the Legion and opposition fighting openly.

Xanthier after seeing your post:
Might want to take a quick look at those Imperial dossers again unless Xan had a sex change while I was away.
Perhaps the Empire would know his name, but more than likely they would know very little about his whereabouts. He is paranoid beyond belief and has gone to great lengths to avoid drawing any unnecessary attention.

Well I do like to remain an enigma, but my characters are far less puzzling. XD

I would definitely like to add more Sith, but at a certain point the PvP ratio becomes difficult to handle.
As of right now it is four PCs against two and I didn't explicitly invite Infinitus. I was going to have him ask you guys here first since you all are involved in the thread.
The thing about PvP is NPCs aren't vary valuable. Other players can swat them like flies, so in order to maintain balance we would need more opposing players on the tribe's side. Otherwise Volken and Xanthier will have to grow extra limbs to deflect all the flak headed their way.

So is that a no or a maybe? Sorry, the second sentence didn't make a lot of sense.

There's too many Sith player characters vs opposition player characters.
I'd ease up on Sith joining in. Or strictly turn off Sith/Legion characters joining in. Honestly anyone could be on the opposing side. As I understand, this is non-death enabled so there is no risk other than maiming.

I wouldn't be opposed to adding more Sith if more characters arrived to fight against the Empire.
Though, the question then becomes, will it be too chaotic with that many PCs? Typically yes.
When main battles come into play such as the Fall of Coruscant they usually split into multiple threads focusing on different parts of the city or area of conflict. Coruscant was so massive it made sense that characters wouldn't necessarily run into each other during the battle. Damash isn't huge, maybe two or three square miles (3-5km). If you split it into two threads then the consistency of the battle becomes broken. I.e one thread might end in Imperial victory and the other ends in tribal victory which can make things messy.
However, fear not, because once this is all over I plan on doing a semi-continuous campaign across the planet and will try to get as many new Sith involved as possible.

For two reasons:
a) I have been slow and everything is going well without me; and
b) further additions would probably clutter things,
I will probably bow out of this one.
However, @Dark child, I would love to help with this campaign thing - in particular some NPC characters back at base to drive the missions

Do not take any of the following in a bad way. This thread is about helping improve writing skills and these are merely observations and suggestions.
@Infintus
Your character was en-route to Blightwing's position and had finally reached said Angel of Death at the end of the post prior to your most recent one. Meaning that Blightwing had absolutely no chance to react to Varian at all. Maybe Blightwing would have outright attacked your character for what Varian did to the Imperial soldiers. If I were in Blightwing's position I would not be happy at all and would most likely demand some sort of explanation etc. You also made no mention of Phyxsis in your post but claim to be in the same area as Volken. Because of this I am going to ask you to remove your last post.
@Faster Than Light
I don't have a problem with anything you've written so far. What I would like to do is have Blightwing and Varian on the South side of the city and Phyxsis and Frankie on the West to balance things out. You can do a post about meeting up with Varian right now. After that I will do a post which leads to finding both of you. Normally I am for a post order so that things don't get out of whack but since the characters aren't in the same area I won't make to big of a deal about it. As long as it makes logical sense to post then go ahead. Same goes for you @wristclerk
@DraconicPsycho
Now I know I said in the PM to do what you wish but again just take a moment to look at things. You can call the tribals soldiers if you want to, but in your last post it sounds like the tribals are raiding the empty buildings for their own stuff, or the Imperial soldiers are raiding homes and Phyxsis killed his own men. The Empire is trying to take the ruins of Damash, not defend the city.
"Phyxsis heard two blaster shots fired at his back. He quickly side-stepped to avoid them."
There is nothing wrong with dodging attacks. However, lasers may be slower than bullets, but not by much.
"Unfortunately, it didn't just go down with the shots Volken had fired at it, this immediately indicated to Volken that the Alien had some kind of sensitivity to the force. Not many beings could simply dodge blaster bolts when they didn't know they were there."
This is a polite way of saying that Phyxsis just did something that was beyond belief, almost like he had the foresight to know when to dodge after Volken pulled the trigger. To make a post like that more believable I would have written something like:
"The geonosian, still covered in the blood of his last kill, his senses abuzz with the lingering fear which hung in the air, detected something else, movement, coming from directly behind him, the sound of many footsteps on the sandy road which led further into the city... His insectoid antenna quivered as they sensed the vibrations, and he spun around just as the Paladin began to level his sights on his back. The being could not "hear" persay, not like a normal human could at least, but his antenna felt the disturbance in the air, the sound of two bolts leaving the boltcaster at lightning fast speed. He had just enough time to throw himself into a downward roll, causing the bolts of pure energy to strike the wall which he had been standing in front of a mere second before."
This tells us that Phyxsis had forewarning that the attack was coming and was therefore able to dodge. It also makes him seem more human. More like a physical being that is capable of making mistakes rather than a god who can dodge bullets like Neo in The Matrix.
For everyone:
I'm not saying you can't have fun slaughtering NPCs without getting a scratch on your character. Just don't make your character impenetrable. Remember that RP is about making choices and living with those choices. If your character attacks fifty force users alone there should be heavy consequences. In theory, they could kill them all, but more than likely they would not survive simply because the odds of survival would be very much against them.
