Caveat emptor
The War for the Core starts Soon™.
The aim of this campaign is to bring together a united front of factions with one single purpose - to drive out One Sith who have entrenched themselves in the Galactic Core. In order to even attempt such a feat, combined efforts and resources of several factions will be required. And this is where you come in, my dear friends. Essentially, this is a proposal to lead an actual war effort against a common enemy, similar how WWII played out between USA, UK, Germany and Russia. Let's first lay out the board with all the interested parties:- Galactic Alliance is the initiator of the League, since they are most mobile and vigilant. They will lend troops, experts, starfighter pilots, fleet and FUs to the cause. GA will take part similar to that of United States of America in WWII - not there for the beginning of the party, but still moping of the floor in the end.
- Galactic Republic is currently experiencing severe political turmoil, with allegiances divided. Also, GR has taken the most hits from OS, but still stands, despite many lost invasions. The League may restore faith of GR in the righteousness of their cause and bring much needed stability. Galactic Republic takes the role similar to that of UK in the WWII - with new leadership with a clear vision, they can prevail
- SSC may be far away on the map, but they are a formidable faction with strong leadership. They haven't been in much faction-to-faction contact with OS, but I have a feeling they would like to. Why not progress down Saleucami arm and work towards opening southern front on OS? Of course, this would require some stomping over Hutt Cartel. SSC plays the role of Russia - Cold, far away, vast...but once they start stomping, you better hide!
- Mandos and their clans may also take some interest in this. The League can offer to help take Wayland back, maybe even unite the clans? If it can be achieved, Mandos can wage war on the northern front. In WWII context, Mandos would be the Scandinavian countries - neutral, but with strong resentment towards Third Reich
- OS clearly plays the role of Germany; it's great to be in the middle of things, but only when you are not attacked from all sides
- TU plays the role of Japan, especially due to its proximity to GA
Ultimately, it would reduce OOC drama substantially - if you can RP out a decision against other players, sway other characters into agreeing with you, then there will be no complaints.
In this way, OS and TU(and other allies they might have) will get the opposition they deserve, which would make board-wide roleplay interesting, engaging and more leveled.
You may think of this idea as turning Chaos in a very large, multilayered chessboard.
