Time To Get Busy People
Alright boys and girls, it's about time we put something together. Yes, I know Masks of Madness is running right now. Yes, I know we already have a missions board. Yes, I know that this is a very cliche way to start a post. As for the former, Madness won't last forever, and I hope to have these objectives done within the month. The latter, well, these missions/objectives are much more military oriented and fall under one huge overarching story-line.
To put this simply, these objectives will benefit the CIS as a whole. Some will be dev-threads, others full out Dominions. If those aren't to your taste, no worries. These aren't speed posts, they're built for the story. The over-arch of the story will remain secret until it is ready to be revealed. On top of that, depending on how characters do ICly, I may hand out IC rewards ranging from happy face stickers to lapdances...or ships for you shy types.
To sum things up, the point of this is to produce a rich storyline, encourage friendships, build up character relations IC, and help make the CIS a more organized military power. This storyline will be dark, it will be gore-y, you may not understand what it is all leading to, and very dark themes (PG-13 for the site's sake) generating around the social issues of cloning, slavery, Star Wars religion, organic experimentation, and the use of children as military assets will be tackled. If you're character revolves around happy giggle RP, or simply wants to the very best Pokeman Master there ever was, these threads will not be for you. Things will not work out for the best in every thread. Sometimes morals don't make the cut in the final result.
OBJECTIVE I: Nar Haaska--Sticky Politics
This mission is, as you can tell, a Dominion. the only one planned. This will take place first in the story-line. the Yuuzhan Vong occupied the planet for quite some time centuries ago. Since then, members of multiple different species have flocked to live on the neutral world. A small population of humans stood in control of the government in their newly formed Capital City, Druksten.
The Confederacy of Independent Systems extended an invitation for the world to join its generous embrace. The primarily human government happily agreed for the promise of protection, but the alien lower classes, often treated as lesser beings, are afraid of the CIS using the world's ore deposits for its own purposes. The deposits can be found near farmland that had slowly begun to grow stable since the Yuuzhan Vong, but is not quite there yet. Weeks ago, and odd spider like droid landed on the world. A day later, an armed insurrection had risen up against the human government. The humans pleaded to the CIS for assistance in exchange for occupation of the world.
Stuck in a morally gray area, the Grand Marshal opted to send in a specialized unit of Commandos and other military assets in to quell the threat before all out war broke loose--in an attempt to make the CIS look less like a controlling power and more like a subtle older sibling. This unit would be assigned to finding, and eliminating insurrection leader Gal Stutzen, a blue skinned Duros, and the rest of his commanders.
This thread is a social situation revolving around the needs of government compared to the moral dilemma of unfair treatment. The CIS hopes to take the world and set the world as a ground for equal rights, but that all depends on how the locals perceive its forces. In other words, the locals must not know the CIS was involved with ending the leader of a morally just cause. Subtlety is recommended.
OBJECTIVE II: No Survivors
A message arrived from Styx not long ago. A small unidentified Freight outfitted with technology from ages dating back to somewhere around the Rakata Empire dropped out of hyperspace in their orbit. The planetary defenses attempted to intercept the ship. a boarding party made it within: identifying what looked to be some form of spider droid outfitted with a blood sack in the center.
Before further elaboration could be made, the team was brutally dispatched. Planetary defense proceeded to fire on the unidentified ship . The freighter's engines were shot, and it was pulled down to Styx by the force of gravity. It crashed in a remote location across the southern hemisphere into a large reef at the center of the ocean. the ship has wedged itself in firmly, and has given no signs of moving.
Four recovery parties were sent to deal with the ship's occupant. Coming within the ship's proximity, the team's comms were cut out. They have no been heard from in days. The Styx government requested support from the CIS on this matter. The Grand Marshal responded immediately with a small detachment of forces under the mindset that this droid was related to the one that appeared on Nar Haaska.
This thread will reveal more about the plot. In addition, it will be more combative and dark, falling under the horror genre. NPCs will die in brutal ways, your character will likely be wounded to a possibly serious degree. Do not join if you're character is the squeamish type.
OBJECTIVE III: SACRILEGE
TBA when this point is reached...
All members of the CIS can join these threads. Templars, strippers, Phoebes, Talons, George Lucas, everyone. Just, please make sure your character has a valid reason.
I am accepting game-masters for each thread. A maximum of two per thread. If you're interested in being a game-master, or simply partaking, then please post here 
I would hate to start something and have no interest in it. That's just a bummer.
