Yeah that seems the most troubling to me, especially with major factions that would be a lot of work going down the drain, I mean who would really want to do all those dominions all over again? Especially if speed dominions were involved to get a planet faster than the other guy.
For OP and Republic I think that would be especially suck-y because our political positions are based on planets being in our territory, like Exarchs of Kaeshana, Naboo, Abregado, Thyfera, Observers of Druckenwell, Yag'Dhul, Sullustan, those are all positions already filled by PC's or with storylines active where their PC's will take position of governing these planets, because I'm trying to launch a strong active political scene in OP for those who like to write that type of RP. Map wipe would cause all of that to just disappear and there is no guarantee we would get those planets back for the people who invested themselves in there, like for Abregado and Kaeshana I know we put tons of codex and tech subs to expand on how the regimes look there, making their time spend writing those stories and settings wasted.
And that is just one faction, I do not think that would be a solution that in the end gets implemented, because it may make one group happy, but another group really angry and disappointed. At least I hope it will not get implemented.
Instead I would propose to make a second map, completely empty, of a Galaxy nearest to ours, I know that characters like Jorus Merril have already been RP'ing sending probes to explore other Galaxies and if a doorway or travel between one Galaxy and other would be made possible, well I would consider that to be more of a plausible stretch ICly than map being restarted.
Then each major faction could choose a planet or three in this new Galaxy to establish a foothold, their colonies, each dominion would be a new planet explored, described, and an outpost or colony settled there, each planet would be custom and approved through our Codex, we could put it to a really good use that way instead of just making our map more crowded.
With that compromise both groups would be happy as our factions already established in Old Galaxy would keep their territories and can continue to write their stories, and those who wish to explore, discover, settle new planets, write more stories about the frontier, and expand can do so in the New Galaxy, it would be our America. America-Galactica.
Plus if we would fill a map completely with custom planets then we would have a stronger connection to it, as we saw it being written, or wrote it ourselves. Plus let's be honest, we can make way more detailed submissions than some articles on Wookieepedia.
Just that I wouldn't be where i am today in terms of RP quality and skill without my boy Lysle.
