D O M I N U S
As of recent, the Mandalorian and Sith Factions have been growing exponentially, as has the site. There has been much talk about constructing a Republic Faction as well. This is something that I'd love to see accomplished. I have a few ideas of my own and I'm sure that you all have some floating around as well, so please share your thoughts and let us create a thriving Republic. Below are my own thoughts, feel free to let me know what you think.
The Republic (Rule of Three)
As I was browsing Wookiepedia for some ideas, as well as to learn the last known state of the canon-Republic, I came across the Galactic Federation Triumvirate. This was not the traditional republic. It was an organization which combined three exceptionally powerful regimes into one. Playing upon this, I came up with an idea for the Republic.
At the helm of the Republic would be: The Grandmaster of the Jedi Order, The Chancellor of the Senate, and the High General of the Republican Military. These three persons would share equal power and responsibility in terms of guiding the galaxy. The unification of these three bodies would call for the unification of the existing Jedi on the site, the establishment of Republican military characters, and also the establishment of Republican senators. I've noticed that we have an abundance of senators on the site already, so I'd propose a literal election to occur that would result in the Chancellor. The reigning leader of the Jedi Faction would of course act as the aforementioned Grandmaster.
The Senate would function as normal. They would vote on matters of galactic importance and the majority vote rules. Basic matters will not even be brought to the Triumvirate's attention and will be handled by the Senators themselves in sessions. Larger matters, such as warfare and whatnot, will be brought to the Triumvirate to vote. The Jedi will operate as they always have, acting as a police force of sorts for the galaxy, upholding the law and what is right throughout Republic space as well as working with foreign relations in order to grow the Republic. The Military, of course, will be concerned with national defense.
As far as how the ranks will go, I pretty much followed what I learned from the Clone Wars. Members of the Jedi Order will be considered as officers. Padawans, depending upon age, will have the authority of lower to mid rank officers, where Jedi Knights and Masters will be considered Generals. The military itself will follow a three-tier ranking system that will keep things simple: Enlisted, Non-Comissioned Officer, and Officer. (These could probably evolve into labels sometime in the future, or possibly a Commando tag)
In this build, I can see the Republic growing and thriving. Once again, I'm open to any and all critiques you have. Let us collaborate to achieve a great Republic! =)
