CRF: Coruscanti Resistance Fighters.

[Aithne Charr]

Now, this is a simple idea i am proposing, and the reason that it is even being made is for one reason. I had a real problem with the fact the entire invasion ended with the destruction of the Jedi temple and not of a battle on the city planet itself. As such i have had a real hard time believing that the thousands upon thousands if not millions of republic loyalists and soldiers themselves would simply lay down and surrender to a outsider force that threatened to upturn their entire lives. Now before i get a One Sith member coming in here and going "But we spent all this time making life good on coruscant." I understand that, but i need you understand that even if only 1% of the people remained loyal to the republic, and the fact that troops would not simply surrender because the jedi fell, you would still be dealing with 10 Billion people on a planet with 1 trillion people.

My point is simply this, im making this as a sort of thing that ICly would make sense to be there, as you are still invaders on a planet that has been home to the republic for thousands of years. So of course there are resistance fighters on the planet and i hope others find the wanting to help me out with this idea.

[member="Solan Charr"] I would join this wholeheartedly.

 

[Cor Latch]

I like it. You have a very, very, very good point, there would still be someone trying to rebel. Good idea, I wish you luck with it, if you ever decide to create a faction with it.

I feel like my words were misconstrued.

I have absolutely no problem with anyone trying to do acts of terrorism, rebellion, or anything of the sort on Coruscant. I'm not a fool, i realize that no matter what one does there will always be those who do not want to live under the thumb of the Sith, and on Coruscant, this is bound to be quite a lot of people given the size of the world. I just wanted to point out that the people rebelling and fighting against us would in fact be a Minority. You wouldn't have the entire planet, rising up against us, because for them, life is pretty good.

I more than welcome a faction like this, and the One Sith will be more than happy to Roleplay with you guys.

Something like this breeds great story, and thats what my faction is about.

 

[Aithne Charr]

I fully understand that it would not be the entire planet, probably not even .1%, and am glad that the One Sith welcomes something like this considering the expected responses.

 

[Mrrew]

Speaking of Rebel...

The Rebel alliance would love to help you with this, i'm sure. As long as no civilians are hurt, we're most likely in.

Completely up to you guys, this is solely working on its own with the aid of outside benefactors and smugglers.

I would like to just point out that 1% of a trillion is 1 billion, not ten as "one hundred billion" (10 times 10 billion) is one trillion and of course 0.1% is 10 million.

Also, I'm just making conjectures here, but I'm assuming the One Sith are pouring their resources in making the Underworld happy? That's the only possible way I could see them making happinesses on a Coruscant famously dominated by the ideals of democracy and the republic and yaddayaddaya

 

[Fatty]

Oh wait... unless your British I think, then those numbers are right... or unless its another one of those situations where America does the backwards thing from everybody else in the world... which is frequent.

 

[Aithne Charr]

Err... redo your math Fatty... 1% of one trillion is 10 billion... either way i didn't say they weren't infact i even put right in my first quote that i recognized a situation such as that... im kinda confused what you are getting at anyways.

Edit: Ya, probably america's school system karking me up again if you are doing your way. I did 1 trillion divided by a 100

The Underworld, yes.

But also we've essentially began a campaign to make us look good. Orphanages, charities, work programs, etc... I think for a vast quantity of people, it doesn't matter whose in charge, as long as theres food on the table.

Again, i recognize this and that is why i dont expect any sort of upheavel or what ever. Still though i am sticking to the point i had been making in the first place.

 

[J3C0]

[member="Solan Charr"] I was more speaking in conjecture with Fatty than trying to point things out to you.

No worries mate, i trust you

 

[Fatty]

Too bad Rebellions were repealed as a failure

It depends honestly. For a defeated populace that is sick and tired of war and loss, they would accept anybody as their new ruler as long as they help them rebuild and keep them fed. But depending on the general pride of the populace, how the war went, and their new rulers, it wouldn't be too far fetched to assume a good portion would put pride and nationalism above their well being. Depends on their upbringing and pre-war sentiment as well tho'.

Granted, the defeatist will always vastly outnumber those who want to fight, but if those who fight do it well and win their fair share, it would be easy to spark up a resistance sentiment in the entire population.

 

[Aithne Charr]

They were? lol good thing i wasn't attempting a rebellion... though i guess this is pretty much one... [member="Fatty"]

I like this idea as a series of smaller terrorist type events similar to say the events of say the Republic Commando: Triple Zero book. The first attack being something rather small that may or may not being taken as a serious threat by the One Sith. The second, third, or fourth attack causing increased attention of the One Sith leading up to a skirmish between the Resistance and the One Sith.

It would both allow all involved to get some good action in while still not breaching the "Cool Down" between the One Sith and TGR/allies.

Just my two cents worth though.

See, i would agree with you, but Star Wars is entirely different when it comes to nationalistic sentiments, especially Coruscant. This planet is literally the biggest melting pot you could ever thing of. Every single species is represented on Coruscant, or close to it. I would venture to guess that about 80% of the people on Coruscant have absolutely no loyalty to the Republic or the Government that exists. The reason i say this is because Coruscant is unfathomably huge, like i can't even picture in my mind the kind of bureaucracy that would have to be maintained in order to manage One Trillion people.

It would be absolutely vast and create a huge disconnect between the government, and the people. This would hold true for the One Sith as well. There would be a small minority(relatively small mind you compared to the 1 trillion population) that supports us, but the vast majority does not care.

So again, i would assume that as long as theirs food on the table, and theyre not being put into death camps, the vast majority of the people of Coruscant would be happy. Even if freedom fighters began to sprout up, and even if they win, i still think most people on Coruscant wouldn't support it, if only because of their own safety and well being.

Then again, this could be argued about all day with differing opinions.

 

[Alice Red]

Good point, I'm slipping up and thinking too much of real life possibilities and not the star wars specifics. The bureaucracy alone is a damn nightmare

 

[Aithne Charr]

One Trillion people.... -shiver- Thats alot of eyes looking on the heads of the planet...
