Public So when Andor S2 kickstarts rebel shenanigan RP, what factions-?

[Jorus Q. Merrill]

I know for darn sure I wasn't the only one fired up about writing resistance-y Star Wars when season one dropped. I'm guessing in a month and a half that mood is going to be everywhere. ITS PACE WILL OUTSTRIP OUR ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND.

Are there any factions, current or intended, with plans to meet that demand? Dark empires aiming to set up in-house opposition, republics looking for a radical flank effect, standalone minors, or some combination thereof?

 

[Amani Serys]

I don't know of any current factions playing with this angle, but I agree, would love to see a rebel-type good guy faction come into prominence. Been a while since there's been a committed one

 

[Jonyna Si]

Admittedly, we did have a rebel-type major faction recently that unfortunately went under.

Here's hoping someone picks up the torch.

 

[Alan]

We don't have to write in major factions, you know

"This is a rebellion movement.

The Coalition's primary objective is to create a stable, decentralized galactic order built on shared governance, local autonomy, and mutual aid. This decentralized style of government empowers individual systems to self-govern with a loose framework of shared values, introducing policies to address wealth inequality, trade fairness, and the promotion of resource-sharing."

Edit: Also this, from here.

4. Justified Insurgency: A Necessary Rebellion
The Foundation is not a military dictatorship, nor is it an aimless rebellion. We are a structured coalition with a clear political and moral vision—the establishment of a decentralized galactic order based on mutual aid, shared governance, and local autonomy.

In pursuit of this vision, we engage in justified insurgency, meaning:

• We fight oppressive regimes, not innocent civilians. Civilian populations must be protected at all costs, even if it limits military effectiveness.
• We engage in sabotage, infiltration, and precision strikes, rather than indiscriminate destruction.
• We disrupt supply lines, steal from corrupt bureaucracies, and expose systemic injustices.

We recognize that war is an ugly necessity, but we will not become what we seek to overthrow.

Key Rule: Every battle must be fought with the future in mind. A rebellion that abandons its principles today will not create a just society tomorrow. For Tomorrow's Victory.

Actual ideology to pick at engage with? What madness is this?

 

[Jorus Q. Merrill]

(Though I will say I've got like three characters who would get Very Invested in the 'impersonating humanitarian aid is a war crime' of it all, lol)

Right? Resonates with my own personal brand of crazy like somethin' else, for certain

We've got some structural and operational safeguards written out for this just haven't gotten around to posting them yet lol

 

[Jared Starchaser]

Foundation, old man.

 

[Jared Starchaser]

Or, in the interest of double posting.

We re-create an Outer Rim hooligan gang based on purrgill mating cycles.

 

[Diarch Reign]

Foundation is super cool. Very excited to see rebels

 

[Azurine Varek]

I don't necessarily think you need to have a whole faction dedicated to it to play a rebel minded character that likes to do rebel stuff

(Edit to clarify: I literally do exactly that lol)

 

[Caelan Valoren]

Now I want to make a GA character working inside of SO space to organize resistance to their rule.

Thanks, Jon. I blame you for this.
