Ok, this is what we have so far for the storyline. If there is anything we missed or that anyone would like to see differently, please post!

I think that perhaps the Rebellion's attack on the Death Star didn't succeed, but Luke's results were about the same, only he doesn't have a very solid opportunity to escape and does not.

The Rebellion's and the Empire's core fleets have been bled heavily, and it's a phyric victory for the Rebles who have lost much of their fleet and heros. They jump and cut their losses.

The Empire has lost much of it's best and brightest with the Executor destroyed. The remainder is on the DS2.

The rest of the Imperial fleet was perhaps damaged more than the Rebellion's. With the death of the Emperor and his lack of battle meditation, movements were sloppy and a hardened Rebellion did as much damage as it could.

Several Imperial and Victory class destroyers have been scuttled and are considered irreperable and are salvage at best. Endor's orbit is filled with debris clouds not seen since the Clone Wars.

With the exception of the Trilogy's core heros, most of the Rebellion's leadership is alive, and is back to savaging the Empire's supply lines.

The Empire still has quite an edge with a damaged and incomplete battle-station. However, the Empire lacks a designated, clear leadership.


Possible character motivations:
I think it's a very real possibility that... well if all your Jedi pals have been hunted down by Vader and the Emperor, that you might find falling to the dark side just that much easier. Revenge and all that fueling you as you plot to try to get back what used to be. So surviving Jedi could easily become Dark Jedi.

They could also remain Jedi, hiding out and training the young ones they find who are sensitive. Upon the failure of the Rebellion (or at least, major setback) the hiding Jedi would realize that they need to work a little more openly.

Also if the two main Sith die (Palpatine and Vader) it stands to reason that Palpy might have had other lackeys and force sensitives on strings nearby. Emperor's Hands, and what not (no not Mara Jade - copyright infringement!) could rise up and take the reins as the new Sith (two only). Or perhaps several groups of two, always plotting and scheming to take the others out.

Rebellion and Empire struggle for control of the galaxy. Rinse, repeat.

-- Opening crawl in RPing forum to introduce the year's story arc.

--Story arcs are approximately a year in length. We vote towards the end of the year on the next all-encompassing story.

--Story arcs may or may not include years resets. We are at the very least doing ONE reset and it will take place in the next week or so.

--Ranks can be earned and will be like hats - you can put an earned rank with whatever character you wish after every reset (if we do yearly resets)
---The way it is now: Everyone started off as a n00b with no training or Force experience. After 4-6 years of RPing, we have several masters of the Force now.
---The way it will be: You can keep your rank after the reset. IF you want to. If you don't want to, you can start your character a low on the totem pole as you like. You could also take the rank from one character and transfer it to another, as long as you've done the training and earned the rank. For example: I could make Lilaena a non-force sensitive, and make Arya Ravenwing a Jedi Master, after the reset. IF we do yearly resets, you can continue to keep and add on rank to your characters, and mix it up between them every year. If you've earned Knight rank for two characters, you can only have two knight rank characters after the reset. If you've got master rank for one character, you may only have one master character after the reset. Newcomers will still have to start at the bottom of the totem pole.

--The galaxy is not being split into two alternate realities. We cannot divide our time.

--EU characters are also off limits for RP, although we may NPC a few from time to time. <--being discussed.

--Existing threads from ALL FORUMS will be purged out and exported to a separate, closed archive forum. Threads six months old or younger will be left here.

The staff will edit this post when updates occur. Please refrain from asking the same questions over and over.
