The year is 1337 ABY (After the Battle of Yavin). The Rule of Two has been dismissed; the Sith are numerous once more. The legend of Luke Skywalker is all but forgotten, lost to the ravages of Time. The Galactic Alliance is in yet another war and the fate of the galaxy is at stake. The war is finally coming to a head with a crucial battle over a planet named Rakka, situated near the junction of the Perlemian Trade Route and the Hydian Way, major hyperspace travel routes. Thus, who controls Rakka controls access to an entire third of the galaxy. At present, the Mon Calamari cruiser Honorable Justice has been ambushed by thousands of Sith one-person fighters (let's call them Daggerwings). It is up to the Jedi and soldiers on board to fight them off.For your character, you may be: 1) Force-user or Soldier 2) Light side or Dark side (allegiance) 3) Personally involved or pulling the strings. Please, be realistic in portraying what happens in a battle (no "Every Sith soldier dies but not a single Jedi soldier is even scratched.") and do insert your character into the story gracefully (e.g. not jumping straight into a battle; have them wake up first or whatever). Also, Star Wars cuss words only (blast, sithspawn, etc...) please, thank you! One final note: I am the Game Master, and my word is Law. What I mean by this is that characters can do whatever they want, but if things get stagnant, I'll introduce something new. Additionally, I'll resolve continuity and real-time conflicts.Useful References:Map of the Star Wars Galaxy: Linked for size.Wookieepedia, very useful for looking up Star Warsy stuff.

I'm all for trying this additional RP method, and implementing it elsewhere if it works better than what the rest of us have in mind. Also, I like this IDEA very much. I would be willing to RP in it once we get going a bit with Jen's idea.

Okay, that's fine.
Well, I'm just going to go ahead and start the RP in this thread. If an additional sub-board is made for it, the thread can be moved and unnecessary posts removed with little effort.

Jedi Knight El'endia Starman was awakened by a rumble in the ship's durasteel framework. Using the Force to quickly dispel the last vestiges of sleep inertia, he rolled out of bed. He threw some shorts on, not bothering with a shirt, and snatched up his lightsabers from the dresser beside him. He turned them on briefly, checking to make sure they were in perfect condition. He stared at their gold and purple blades for a moment. Satisfied, he closed them down and headed out of the room.
On his way to the bridge, he felt multiple more vibrations, as if things were slamming into the hull. Upon reaching the bridge, he searched for the captain and quickly found him standing in front of the viewport, looking out into space. El'endia quickly strode over to him. "Captain, what's the situation?"
Calm and collected as ever, Captain Hrothgar replied, "Thousands of Sith Daggerwings have stormed us. Our gunners shot down hundreds of them but there are still many more out there."
A look of comprehension dawned on El'endia's face, "Oh, so that's what those vibrations were..."
Turning to face El'endia, the captain affirmed, "Yes. We have been boarded in multiple places. We successfully transmitted a comm to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant before the jamming started. They will send a Jedi Master with a small navy to provide assistance. Until then, Jedi Starman, it's up to you and the others to repel the Sith. May the Force be with you."
El'endia nodded solemnly, "Force willing, we will fight them back!" With that, a hint of a smile appeared on Hrothgar's face as he turned back to looking out the viewport. Acknowledging the dismissal, El'endia hurried out of the bridge room to rally the others.

"You want me to go out //again//?" "I'm sorry, sir, but there's a huge fleet of Daggerwings out there." Mace Hamroe mumbled to himself as he re-boarded the small ship. "Friggin Dagger-things. Hate this friggin job..." He mumbled on, but still did his job. He was just about to take off when he heard an all-too-familiar sound. He chuckled to himself. Turning around in the pilot's seat, he yelled "Not this time, my friend." The Wookie howled in despair, poking his head into the ship. "Sorry, pal. Ship's too small for you." The Wookie nodded, handing Mace his lightsaber. "Thanks, Carpet." Mace smirked at this newly-given nickname. The Wookie playfully punched Mace in the shoulder, and then descended the ladder. "I'll be back!" Mace cried, closing the door. He turned the small fighter on, and took off quickly. He had a job to do.
