View Full Version : Years From Now... A SW RP in the Future
Dasquian Belargic
Jun 2nd, 2007, 07:32:29 AM
This is an idea that LD were discussing recently, and certainly not one that is new to SWFans - the 'what if...' scenario. These kinds of threads are usually set 20 or so years into the 'future' of our present timeline and give RPers the chance to speculate on where their characters might be years from now.
I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in this kind of thread, and if so do you have any ideas for what state the Galaxy might be in, 20 years from 'now'? :)

Just a thought - perhaps by then the Rebel Alliance has established itself in enough systems and with enough solidarity that the Empire must grudgingly recognize it (even if unofficially) as a separate, sovereign nation. The Civil War has slowed to a crawl as neither side can sustain the expenditure of ships and personnel; both the Empire and the Alliance watch their borders uneasily and wage a cold war in hopes of having the upper hand when the inevitable conflict resumes.
Within the Alliance, there is a sharp philosophical division among the leaders. Some believe that the Alliance needs to take advantage of the ceasefire to focus inward, to build up their government, infrastructure, policy, and diplomatic channels, to become a fully functioning Republic that could conceivably co-exist with the Empire as a competing political and economic powerhouse, reasoning that the Empire will be less likely to attack a sovereign nation that can fight with money and public opinion as well as guns. Others believe that the Civil War is far from over, that the Empire is only biding its time before launching a final assault, and that the Alliance's victory cannot be complete until the Empire has totally fallen. So, appeasing politicians on one side, paranoid war-mongerers on the other. :)

Jun 2nd, 2007, 10:22:23 AM
That sounds like an excellent premise for the beginning of the thread, Solomon :thumbup
A situation like that could have an interesting affect on the Jedi and Sith too. With the 'Republic' stronger, the Jedi might have less to fear and may have become more common. Perhaps the Empire is forced to forge new alliances with large numbers of Sith, in an attempt to gain some kind of upperhand on the Alliance? Who knows.

Another thing I just thought of. When I think "cold war," I think "nuclear weapons." Nukes are obviously small arms in Star Wars terms, so let's go one bigger - planetkillers.
Both the Empire and the Alliance have developed a new type of warhead capable of leveling an entire planet - infrastructure, ecosystems, even underground structures completely gone, leaving a big ball of cinders. There may be various problems limiting the deployment of these weapons; maybe it has limited stability or is extremely dangerous to transport, but ISBMs aren't that far off. Making a full-scale galactic conflict a very unappealing thought.

I liked my zombie idea. ;)
Maybe an imperial lab on Coruscant exploded releasing a virus that quickly turns the sector or entire planet into zombie land. And the Imperials grudgingly ask for Jedi help in halting the plague!
Dasquian Belargic
Jun 2nd, 2007, 10:50:06 AM
That could happen too. I suppose it would alert the Republic/Alliance to the fact that the Empire are developing more advanced biological weaponry.
Y'roth Helghast
Jun 2nd, 2007, 10:56:48 AM
Hmmm, interesting...
I could definitely see some very twisty future possibilities for all of my characters. But I'd have to talk it over with the others involved with my characters beforehand, I'm sure.
And the INQ would have to be wiped out before we ask for the help from a bunch of sleezy Jedi. ;) Pfft, zombies... Bring it. :p
But as for my characters, I already know...
Nyloh Heat is dead. That's an easy one; maybe died in some battle or something after returning to Onderon. Kerrigaise is dead too, and that isn't a surprise either for a Nightsister 20 years later, really.
I'll have to think about the others... Thanks for the extra tidbit to brainstorm on guys. :p Who doesn't always need more things to rp about? :D

Oooh! Sounds like fun. I really like the Zombie idea. It'd be fun to kill zombies with lightsabres and "modern" SW weaponry.
I'm not sure how many of my characters would still be around in the future. Kyle Krogen is currently in INQ custody, so I have no idea where he would be several years from now. Dead? Released? Brainwashed? Still in prison? I don't know. Zereth would likely still be alive and free. He's one of those types that are so difficult to kill. In a large jump in time he'd be a much more powerful sith, possibly a master, and who knows what else. He'd likely still be with the Sith mage group still. A few of my other more major characters would likely still be around.
Yeah, so I'm up for this all the way, whether we do "nukes" or zombiez, or something else entirely.
Dasquian Belargic
Jun 2nd, 2007, 03:58:35 PM
We can have nukes and zombies. It's all good. We can have both the Jedi butt-kicking and Empire/Alliance politics running side by side.
I haven't done the post yet, but here are three characters who will probably feature:
Dasquian Belargic - Chief of State for the Galactic Alliance
Grace Van-Derveld - Director of Intelligence for the Galactic Alliance
Bryna Belargic - Padawan of the Jedi Enclave
Basically, I think things will kick off with Grace receiving reports of the virus break-out which will then be passed onto Bryna to take back to the Enclave. Meanwhile, Dasquian and Grace are free to bicker about superweapons and planetkillers.

I'm planning on having Kyle in this somehow, likely as a member of the Jedi Enclave, having escaped from the INQ at some point in the past, although not before losing several digits and, possibly, limbs.
How big of a time gap are we talking about?

And here is futuristic Kyle, as a barely there Jedi Master with detachment issues and a few mental quirks after his run in with the INQ. Due to said run in, he is missing all the fingers on his left hand. To counter it, he wears a cyborg guantlet with mechanical fingers that respond to stimulation. Think Luke's replacement hand, but purely mechanical, no synthflesh, and it's only his fingers. Oh, and he removes it when he sleeps.
Kyle is on the Jedi Council, but just barely. He mostly just sits there and does nothing, thus most of the other jedi look down on him. He has no padawans, not has he ever since the Jedi Academy on Naboo.
Should be fun :)

Very interesting.
Bloodcrest- Leader of a very small fleet of mercenary ships that cater mainly to Galactic Alliance clients but also serve as an interm part of the Galactic Alliance fleet for the purposes of responding to zombie plague outbreaks. Commands his tiny fleet from his flagship, the Ogre's Chrono.
Ramoth Ocran-Has become more monster than man, the Sith spirit inside him having twisted his soul and merging to become one being. Was captured and resealed inside his stone coffin on the planet of Damind.
Ithiel Malchiel-Lost an arm and an eye, both of which were replaced after several jobs went south. Commands a ship in Bloodcrest's fleet. Known as one of the most dangerous shooters in the galaxy. (This is as much as I have for him without consulting a few other people so it's subject to change)

I am pulling together a character for the regular forums that is a Mandalorian that is attempting to pull together the Mandalorians in the Galaxy to unite against the empire. 20 years from now, the fleet would have been united and fighting. Empire would be fighting a two front war, but so would the rebels. Its a 3 way war. Any ideas?

Are we talking Dawn of the Dead-type zombies or 28 Days Later-type zombies?
Master Nytherciria
Jun 2nd, 2007, 07:17:38 PM
I haven't seen either movies, but I was thinking that the term 'zombie' was being used as a catch-all for people who were infected with something and shambling about in a counter-productive manner. Maybe it's causing them to go nuts and attack one another, because of some fever, but they aren't dead.
Bloodcrest
Jun 2nd, 2007, 07:21:33 PM
Explaination:
Dawn-of-the-Dead zombies: Infected person gets sick and dies in a matter of hours. Corpse comes back to life and becomes cannibalistic towards humans. Only way to kill them is cutting off the head or waiting for their body to completely decay. Disease is passed through bite or mixing of blood. Lose all knowledge from previous life.
28 Days Later zombies: Not dead. Infected with an incurable disease that puts the person into a state of permanent rage. Very very angry people. Disease is passed through bite or mixing of blood. Retain most of their technical skills.
Razielle Alastor
Jun 2nd, 2007, 07:23:21 PM
Raz will be wherever Salem tells her to be, that is just her nature and she is a lost cause. :lol
Rhianna will be dividing her time between training as a Knight, tutoring younglings and caring for them, working to liberate her homeworld from the Empire and..
edit: having breakfast made for her. :mneh clearly she'll be lazy in twenty-two years, or just exhausted, either way. ;)

In that case, we end up something similar to the Reavers in the tv series Firefly (movie Serenity). This could shape up to be very interesting cause it means they have space-bound capabilities.

Yeah I like doing the zombie thing as Reavers. Reavers are way cooler than zombies anyway. Make it kind of like rabies, where if they bite you and don't completely cannibalize you and if you aren't cured you are one of them.
Ahem.
Anyway, 20 years from now, Sanis Prent has left his smuggler roots behind. A hero of the Rebellion, he's risen to prominence and entered an equally shady career as a politician, which allows him to play the new game, same as the old game to a degree. Very popular with the people, a sort of JFK kind of mystique I figure.
Cirrsseeto Raurrssatta would now be a captain in the Alliance fleet, likely helming a new class of super missile cruiser. I am having visions of Crimson Tide running in my head and it is cool.
And as for the Coruscanti thing I am thinking of creating a band of insurgents >D

How about zombified? It's kinda in the middle. :P
Something else just occurred to me...if a darksider became infected with this disease which makes them angry beyond all madness, then wouldn't their ability to draw upon the Force be THAT much stronger? In that case, we'd be looking at some pretty dangerous characters...
I guess a possible fix for that would be that the disease somehow kill the midichlorians?
Chancellor Belargic

How is the political side of the Alliance going to shape up? I was angling to make Sanis a key voice of the doves, ie, against heavy military response. I think that would be a rational mindset for somebody who was holding out for an economic victory and the resulting trade coming from warming relations.
How's that grab ya?

As I already said on AIM, Dasquian is very much anti-war too... though having Grace around all the time has the potential to push him a little towards the other end of the spectrum, what with her rampant war-mongerering and all.
I think Kale is going to bring in his Marine character as a General, who would provide another pro-war point of view.

Hmmm, since Miranda is dead, who is Emperor?
Anywho, by this point, I think Valten will have been so sliced up in encounters that he's existing more as machine than flesh. So he'll be running on INQ cyber-tech.
As for the Inquisitoriate itself, under Empress Tarkin, I see them as having expanded into a large, self-sustaining section of the Empire. The would have their own fleet and armies based off of the technology they horde. I think that Valten probably would have talked Tarkin into declaring a crusade, which means that most of the Empire will be under the Inquisitors' influence. INQ headquarters are no longer located on Coruscant and has been moved to the Maw Installation (also where their shipyards are located)
Maybe the INQ connected to the plague as well (I'm thinking that it was developed at Palpatine's store-house and laboratory where the Krytos Plague and such were created.) Heck, we'll probably transport infected people to alliance worlds just because we're mean like that.
These are just my ideas, I still haven't talked to the other Imperial people yet.

I'd like to join in on this. It sounds very interesting. Who doesn't enjoy a zombie massacre in the future?
I'm pretty sure twenty years in the future Travis would likely be dead, or close to it, in fleet operations in the battle against the Alliance. However this gives me a chance to expand on other parts of his background, such as other family members.
I'm not to keen on having his entire family being upstanding Imperial citizens. So I shall introduce the black sheep. Travis' nephew, an Academy drop out, turned pirate just to spite the family. He'd be a bit to green to be in business for himself, would anyone like to have a blaster wielding cutthroat working with them?
I like Karl's idea for the INQ, it's how I picture it to be in the future. As it is already a fairly active and powerful section within the Empire, I don't see any reason as to why it wouldn't have grown into a large, and even more powerful organization of it's own. Situated in the Maw who knows what diabolical plots they could develop, unnoticed, until it is to late.

I'm also thinking that the Imperial Mages will have grown to quite a number to combat the Jedi.
As for, IMP leadership, I think we could go with Emperor Tiberius Anar, but the INQ has a great deal of say in what goes on and they act in the open rather than all secret like (we're sick and tired of Emperor's dieing on us).
Oh, what shall we call this plague outbreak? I want to get a post in before I have to leave for work.

Thanks, Dasquian. I figure she'll be a "terrified eyewitness" to whatever happens on Coruscant, and eventually escape. Perhaps as a Typhoid Mary? How fast does this incubate, anyway? I figure she's got enough body control to unconsciously stop it from hitting her, but not enough to realize she is carrying it. She's got her own small, fast ship (spoiled rich kid) so she could spread it from planet to planet without realizing it.
Yes, I'm a nasty person when it comes to plots. If s'il doesn't object, the kid could eventually contact her mother's old friend via com (answering machine) to ask for help.
Dasquian Belargic
Jun 4th, 2007, 09:09:44 AM
Direct exposure to the virus, like the kind the first people near the explosion would have had, would cause rapid infection - maybe something like 20-30 minutes. Spreading through physical contact/etc would take longer, at least double the amount of time, depending on how hardy the person being infected was.
Barton Henning is also infected, though as a Jedi Master/Healer he will be able to stave off the effects of the infection for a longer time.
Kale Zarinov
Jun 4th, 2007, 09:11:00 AM
Knight-rank Jedi Investigator checking in.
Kale's expertise probably means he's infiltrating the Core Worlds at the time, and he could even be on Coruscant. He might be charged with the task of getting a sample of the plague back to the Alliance.
Alternately, he could run into Master Henning, or Sharra Darkrunner.
Dasquian Belargic

Kale Zarinov

Just to make sure I'm not stepping on toes, this is what I was thinking would happen: Kale will meet up with Barton and try to get them both off the planet. When it becomes apparent that Barton can no longer hold off the effects of the plague, Kale will (with his permission) euthanize him and cut off a sample to be taken back to the Alliance for study.
He may also run into Adia and/or Sharra in that time. In fact, I was thinking he might help Sharra escape Coruscant in return for passage on her ship. In other words, he'd basically hijack her. :)

Xanatos would either be a Jedi Knight or the Mithosian Ambassador to the Alliance. (Would it be possible to be both? Oo)
Cline is deep in the Black Sun, a Vigo in at least some regard - probably running Ms. Sasseeri's dealings now.
Sin is dead. Probably had a run in with another Sith with opposing goals and ended up wormbait - however some of his more loyal/suicidal followers (at some point he takes his whole 'using stupid adepts as kamikaze agents' to the next level and gain a bit of a death cult around him) are still operating as an anti-life terrorist group known as the Order of Sin.

Blade Ice: What would you say to Zereth Lancer and Blade roaming around together, as they would both be within the Sith Cult together at some time, and both could be on a similar quest of self-redemption, which could take them to Coruscant, and either pit them against the Jedi and the Empire and the infected "zombies", or possibly force them into an alliance with the Jedi. I've always wanted to roleplay Jedi and Sith fighting together. Dunno why, I just always have.
EDIT: Or the two of them could already be on Coruscant at the time of the outbreak. Their purpose for being there could be the planning out the assassination of some Imperial officer on Coruscant, but before they can enact the assassination, which they believe is the right thing to do in their quest for self-redemption, the outbreak begins and they are fighting for their lives at first to escape, but then realize that quelling this outbreak is their great purpose and in staving it they will gain some measure of redemption. Just a thought.

I've decided to put a name to our planet-killer: the Omega Warhead. My concept of the thing is similar to the Dr. Device from Ender's Game - once detonated, it starts a chain reaction in ordinary matter which destroys all chemical bonds. This chain reaction continues until all nearby matter is exhausted, even on a planetary scale. The result is a completely dead and inert body of matter.
The Alliance developed this weapon before the Empire did. The Empire dispatched a third Death Star to destroy Mon Calimari; the Rebels, with no other recourse, fired an experimental Omega missile at the Death Star, completely destroying it. This was, in effect, the Hiroshima that halted active hostilities. In the intervening time, Imperial agents developed their own Omega weapons, bringing us to the nuclear standoff situation in which we find ourselves today. :)

I think that charley already posted, his idea, but that could work.
I had a similar idea using a kind of 'cluster' anti-matter warhead that sends out dozens of mini-warheads as it reaches the atmosphere and scatters them across the surface.
I assume that since there are inter-system warheads, that they are hooked to one-shot hyperdrive units with a range of say, two thousand lightyears or so. But since they are one-shot, you need a direct path to the target system. That will prevent either side from just taking out any planet from any given place.

I don't recall Charley specifying the nature of the warheads, only calling the missiles the Dauntless carries TX-79 Starkillers. I took this to be the model type rather than a general name for the weapons, like a Tomahawk cruise missile as opposed to a nuclear warhead. Though I've been wrong before.
And, yes, the technology has its limits, though these are conceivably being pushed further and further. Missile-ships are currently the most viable means of deploying missiles against remote targets. As I see it, the primary hold on its deployment is the threat of reprisal eventually leading to the destruction of every major populated world in the galaxy.
I also was considering a cluster anti-matter weapon. The trick is explaining how it achieves global coverage. Granted, a couple million megatons of destructive force on one face of the planet should be enough to cover the atmosphere in ash and destroy the whole biosphere; I was just thinking of something more final.
It's also possible that the Alliance and Empire have independently developed different planet-killing devices. So far, the story really hasn't required us to get too technical - it works to basically think of them like nukes and planets like cities.

Yes, and Quinn and I have figured out a way to get you both off, after we get together.
Basically, he gets a contract to get me off, and i insist I'm not going without Kale and Barton - she is a spoiled band-brat, after all.
So he smuggles the three of us off, past the imps. And then sticks the infected two (Barton and Sharra) into cryo capsules, so they can be taken care of.
Sounds good?

Blade Ice: What would you say to Zereth Lancer and Blade roaming around together, as they would both be within the Sith Cult together at some time, and both could be on a similar quest of self-redemption, which could take them to Coruscant, and either pit them against the Jedi and the Empire and the infected "zombies", or possibly force them into an alliance with the Jedi. I've always wanted to roleplay Jedi and Sith fighting together. Dunno why, I just always have.
Well for me personally Blade will be teaming up with the Jedi. As for being on curscant I can see blade being there two I hadn't really decided on where he was going to be.
EDIT: Or the two of them could already be on Coruscant at the time of the outbreak. Their purpose for being there could be the planning out the assassination of some Imperial officer on Coruscant, but before they can enact the assassination, which they believe is the right thing to do in their quest for self-redemption, the outbreak begins and they are fighting for their lives at first to escape, but then realize that quelling this outbreak is their great purpose and in staving it they will gain some measure of redemption. Just a thought.
Hunting some one in the empire sure and I got Idea for who the target was suppose to be. The renagade sith named Vega. Then when the outbreak happens goals and plans change.
I do have a question on this outbreak. Could someone be let say immune to this infection? Only reason I ask is well Storyline wise Blade comes from some place outside this galaxy and demension (timeline). I really haven't developed much on what blade species is over the years only a few bits and pieces here and there. The stuff I did was all okayed by the admins mainly because well it didn't over power him in anyway. I was just wondering if he could be immune to the infection due to being something different? If not thats alright I got all kinds of ideas running through my head. lol

kale - Lighsaber vs. gunship = no contest, and heroically dead is still dead. I've always preferred staying alive to fight another day. This is the same "solution" that the early settlers used on the Indians, giving them blankets from smallpox sufferers. Entire tribes were wiped out....

^ This was irony. Kale's modus operendi is sneaking around and, if necessary, stabbing the enemy in the back, or rolling a stun grenade, or slicing into the security systems. Jedi super-spy style.
But if it's one of those Clone War gunships with the open troop compartments, give me a thermal detonator and a good throwing angle, and I'll bring it down. :)

Okay, that's one building blown up. Three more to go. Yeah, I'm isolating a small part of lower Coruscant from the upper, unless you have an airspeeder or starship of some kind.
And I need to grab Sharra and the two Jedi she's with. Any idea on how that'll happen?

I'm really interested in this, especially since my character would be drastically different from what he is now.
I just need some consent. I was wondering if it was okay that I was Navaria's Padawan and in the present state is very similiar, in terms of Jedi status, as Jon Antilles. He acts more without the strong communication or relationship with the Jedi Council as the other Knights do. If that is all okay, I can implant myself into the thread.

I wouldn't mind getting Falcon in on this. He was a master healer at the time of the purge (figuring him to be around his mid to late twenties at that point), went into hiding and became one of the Empire's most prestigious doctors, an awarded and ambitious researcher, having created/discovered cures for several illnesses. The assumption would be at some point between current time and twenty years into the future that he had rejoined the Jedi, and also, would be considerably older.
I would probably have him be using his skills as a healer and researcher to come up with an antidote/cure for the "thing" rampaging through Coruscant.

That's what I was hoping. From what I'd gathered of the other posts people were making, the Jedi seemed to distance themselves as much as they saw fit and in whatever undertaking they chose; which I guess meant that in some cases, they felt no need to inform the senate of their comings and goings. To me that would be the logical course of action, since those who are now masters were in the thick of the purge, and would most likely be leery of attaching themselves to any sort of ruling government. A once bitten twice shy sort of thing

If we go that route, would Blade be completely immune? or would his body assimilate the contagion and somehow form an 'anti-venom'?
The reason I ask is because I'd had the idea a few days ago that an anti-contagion could be developed from an infected Lupine who's healing properties were able to neutralize it.
Depending on which way you think best, I'll defer to your choice :) I'm easy ;)
Blade Bacquin
Jul 3rd, 2007, 11:49:16 AM
I was thinking his body had an anti-body to the virus. I hadn't really decided on weather it was inherent or he had devolped it somewhere allong the line. But I was going more with inherent.
My idea was that this Anti-body to the contagion could later be used to form a cure or at least a vacination for those that are not immune.

Jul 3rd, 2007, 12:04:12 PM
