The OOC One
So, I had an idea for a faction that I believe I should be getting feedback about from you all as a community. I was thinking about a reboot of the Galactic Empire, run by an NPC droid who was around in the times of the Galactic Empire. The idea was that this droid knew the failures that the Galactic Empire made and figured that he could do it better. The whole concept of the Galactic Empire was a good concept, but the way it was carried out was a failure.
The droid can do it better.
After recruiting a voice from a small planet you may or may not know called Nal Hutta, the droid speaks through this voice who controls and leads the troops. The whole idea is to stick to the traditional empireish ships, such as the Star Destroyers and Tie Fighters and Tie Interceptors and all that. Sure I might hybrid a few Star Destroyers with paint jobs but they will be very similar to what the Galactic Empire would use.
The whole concept is to break the faction into two groups. non-uniformed troops and uniformed troops. The Non-Uniformed troops are your admirals, commanders, deck crews and basic controllers. These guys will be called into action every so often however, don't worry about that. The uniformed troops are the bulk of the faction. These are the stormtroopers, the tie pilots and any other armored trooper that you can think off. Dark troopers for example.
The idea is that recruits have to wait a while until I can get a uniformed training thread together where recruits are put through paces and exercises to test them, to make sure they are great with the weapons we provide them with. This will then split people off. You can learn to be a pilot and undergo one more training thread with whoever is a pilot veteran or whatever I name that rank. You can learn to be a trooper which means you get placed in our main asteroid base or aboard a Star Destroyer somewhere. You can also learn to become a Novice Commander. This results in another training thread but it also results in the chance to one day be able to captain a Star Destroyer and thus the PC's and NPC's that are upon your ship.
Who would be interested in this and what can I change to make this concept work better?
