TSE needs to attract/retain Force insensitives

[Teynara Jeralyr]

Plus that places the Emperor/Empress above the Empire itself, and that should never be the case. If it is...woe to the Emperor.

The Unified Galactic Empire

 

[Teynara Jeralyr]

That would work, Arumi.

 

[Lord Ghoul]

Unified is redundant. I still like the Horuset Empire, but how about: The Sable Imperium? The Aeternal Empire?

Daragon trail trade route runs through the Empire. Daragon Empire? Gordian reach is where it is located. Gordian Empire?

 

[Teynara Jeralyr]

Nothing based on location. The Empire is an idea and a force to be reckoned with, but should the latter change, and we were forced away from Horuset, or from Daragon, we would no longer be those things. Me, I hear someone spout location for an Empire, I'd immediately start planning to take it off them, and strike a proper blow. More to the point, a location simply suggests that we're some localised group striking out elsewhere. It's a mere territory grab, and that's not what we're doing at all.

And I don't see 'Unified' as redundant, tbh, because it speaks of aspiration as much of what we have - seeking to unify the entire Galaxy under singular rule, much as Empire space is currently. Seems to say a good deal more about the faction than most.

 

[Valik]

I agree with Tirdarius about not centering it to a location, just incase we do lose the territory it would make us seem weak. I don't like The Unified Galactic Empire though, just seems too long to me. Doesn't roll off the tongue in my opinion.

 

[Lord Ghoul]

Imperial Federation?

 

[Arumi Zy]

I was aiming for something like the people's Republic of Korea or democratic republic of the Congo.

Hmm the imperial collective.

 

[Radon Mont]

The New Order would be a good name. Or just The Empire. Maybe just The Imperium? All three were original names for the Galactic Empire. I'm partial to The New Order, myself.

[Name suggestions]

This is some advice from me, and by no means is this discrediting your suggestion outright but it is to help this faction and any other writer that aspires to create a faction.

When deciding on a name for factions, it should be nearly the same, if not exactly, as a canon organization. For example, the Republic is acceptable. Because it does not try to call itself "The Coruscanti Republic" or "The Corusca Republic," new members are easily able to know what the Republic is all about without having to do extensive reading of the Republic's information on this site. Omega Pyre, on the other hand, requires members to do extensive reading before the realize what the faction is and whether or not they would want to join it. While your suggestions are creative and I thank you for your suggestion and I certainly would welcomed more from you, deviating too far from "The Empire," "The Galactic Empire," or "The Sith Empire" will most likely affect the faction negatively.

The same goes for emblems and icon. Such things only reinforce the name. An unrecognizable icon is an unknown to new members and is viable to confuse them or make them not as willing to join the faction, which is the type of population I wish to bring over to TSE. This would be compounded in the event that someone else swoops in and grabs "The Empire" or "The Galactic Empire".

Plus, the effect of having a canon elements over a non-canon can easily be seen in how the Hutt Cartel, in the span of a couple weeks, is close to eclipsing Omega Pyre's member numbers, when Omega Pyre has been a faction since March 23.

For everyone, these ideas for ideologies are very interesting and just as creative. Keep in mind that the Sith Empire is undeniably evil. While one may convince themselves that the Empire's order is the best thing for the galaxy, the Empire does do terrible stuff in the name of this order. For the issue of slavery, it is canonically used by most, if not all, Sith Empires (including Palpatine's to a certain extent) by justifying that slavery is a very good thing to the expansion of the Empire's order and that the slaves actually are a danger to society if allowed to be free. There is a lot of other small things, but to just like the name, to deviate too far from what canon prescribes may lead to as much confusion to new members due to them being used to the canon ideals of the Sith Empire.

 

[Arumi Zy]

Very true Mason very true, but the propaganda aspect of it is important. If you control the minds of the people you rule. If you look back at say koror and swtor the sith did just that. The people were generally either fanatics or to afraid to do anything. What's better a scared and oppressed people or a fanatical people who will kill unquestionably because they believe.

 

[Daxton Bane]

Personally I like Mikhail's logo but I would like to request if it were possible to move the fonts below the image? Maybe its just me but everything kinda blended and made it hard to make out the lettering.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

Symbols are good. I like symbols, here's a symbol for yous fine people.

Personally, I like this one. It has the recognizable Imperial Emblem with some flair.

 

[Soliath Devin Talith]

Yes. Also Naziism

 

[Ashin Varanin]

And Warhammer.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

All of those things, rolled into one.

 

[Soeht]

Personally, I prefer using that symbol in our informative material. As Kaine said, it is clearly based off of the Empire's symbol from canon.

 

[Soeht]

For now, I have thought of a good way to attract Force insensitives. I believe one reason why the Republic managed to get a lot of them is due to Flint being one of the most visible Republic members both within the faction and outside.

So, I will most likely be doing a change of face to a character that is a non-Force user. Yet, this character has an established storyline off SWRP, so it may be recognizable to some of you. His story will be adapted to the timeline, though, so it is not exactly the same character.

As a note, Darth Apparatus will still be around. This isn't like Tef's change of face. This will merely mean that I will communicate with yall in these forums as a different character.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

Sounds good Apparatus.

 

[Ashin Varanin]

Wise move.
