Faction Thread/Activites/Concepts Brainstorm

[Seydon of Arda]

A couple suggestions have come through recently asking for a method to publicly submit, hash out, refine, and/or organize Faction Threads and Dominions for the Sanctum. This thread is exactly that spot. The Levantine Sanctum's progress and sense of direction, to me, belongs in the member's hands. As such, this will be mostly Admin-hands off. Do your thing. Contact whoever you have to. What comes, will be. Have fun, everyone.​

So, when I look at the LS, I always saw an alternative to the Warfare and power grabs of the galaxy. A peace-seeking, knowledge seeking group. A place for refugees, and alternative characters, because, self included, not all writers are here for the War part of Star Wars, sometimes. And the Sanctum can be that home.

With all the power-grabs and the wars going on, setting up a base for refugees (maybe a Dominion) would be a smart move.

Or focusing on a science/research without-war-profiteering center. Like a cultural center for a place to have roleplays, outsiders to visit, etc... Flagship?

On top of that, maybe setting up the LS as a place for alternative Force learning? Not everyone is a Jedi or a Sith, maybe capitalizing on differing groups, White Current, Wardens of the Sky, Zeison Sha, Jal Shey?

Perhaps making a team of representatives to travel to the galaxy and almost advertise that the Sanctum is a place for people to live free? Or that may be too much.

Yeah, rambled. But thats something I was thinking. I guess I would need help fleshing ideas out.

I reckon a Force training academy for neutral and light side Forcers would be a cool idea.

Students can come here for non-denominational training. We provide training, not lectures. I see it being something like Professor X's Academy in X-Men.

I've got several characters who could do that.

We could even make the flagship a movable academy, just like the old Jedi did.

I like this idea. I'd be ready to help out with Sio. She does do a lot of teaching these days after all.

Very much this.


As for something adventure-themed, there's Tash-Taral. Way I understand it, the theme there is 'Indiana Jones meets Jurasisic Park'. Plenty of tombs and ancient ruins from the Pius Dea, Sith and other darkside groups to explore, relics to secure and Sithspawn/monsters to hunt. Could easily be a fun adventure. Mon Cal is also a good planet to dom.

As Kaia is from a sort of warrior tribe that lived on a Star Destroyer, her muse just did a little dance.

[member="Siobhan Kerrigan"] The adventure bits remind me of an alt I almost made for the Templar. They had that Seeker branch, which were hunters of knowledge and what not. Indiana Jones meets Jurassic Park sounds awesome to me. Maybe even a bit of Turok in there?

It'd be fun to write from a perspective of a non-Jedi neutral/Light leaning Forcer going against some of the darker things the galaxy has to offer.

I'm planning to run Deep Black Sea III, and could easily restrict this expedition to LS members and close allies.

 

[Maya Carrick]

I like this very much

Depending on my schedule, I have a few characters who could join such an expedition.

As long as I'm in no invasions I'm game!

 

[Brooke Waters]

Since I'm also Kaia, I know I've been posting a lot here, but when I think of things, I like to write them.

I was driving around the beach and local water area today, and I know [member="Siobhan Kerrigan"] mentioned Mon Cal as a dominion possibility. Anyway...

Aside from putting up a mission list, for like... development purposes of Sanctum interests on worlds/dominons.

But what about trying to make a spin on the dominions/missions. We have missions that occur on foot and in space, but what about missions where the characters are diving, or on submarines/boats/airships.

Maybe watching Waterworld and Mad Max also tossed this idea in. But just for another spin on missions.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

Expedition!

 

[Judah Dashiell]

I love water stuff! Sailing dominion!

 

[Brooke Waters]

Sailing, diving. Watching Waterworld made me want to dominion Mon Cal.

POSSIBLE PRIMEVAL SKIRMISH. I kicked around a skirmish idea in chat. Talked to the Primeval FO/FAs, they are down for the sort of skirmish I described to them. Here's what it would be, let me know if anyone is interested:

"We tossing around an idea in chat about a skirmish with Primeval. Only it wouldn't be the usual sort of skirmish.

The current iteration of the idea is:

Group of Levantines are on refugee rescue/mining expedition, get captured by a certain sect within Primeval. The Sect takes the prisoners to a gladiatorial arena on the frontier of Primeval space and the prisoners are made to fight in the arena.

Primeval members could then engage in some combat against the Levantines in the arena, with the whole concept being that the Primeval members are looking to offer a blood sacrifice to please their pantheon.

There would be exotic creatures, danger and adventure.

The end result Levantine is looking for is that all our characters manage to escape without death and along the way we rescue some of the exotic animals. Primeval's victory would come from capturing the all refugee NPCs/mining NPCs that the Levantines had with them and couldn't rescue. Presumably those NPCs would then be sacrificed in order to appease the gods.

Both sides win and its activity for everyone.

Thoughts?”

I've clearly been practicing for a gladiatorial event....against tires Anyway, I'd be down for such a skirmish because it seems to have the potential for only a mild amount of drama. Nothing really at stake, just a good ol' beat down.
