'The Hive'
We currently have three 'factions' under the group heading of The Hive
I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts on those factions were. The forums have been pretty quiet, on the whole, for a while now. Do they all need the forums they have now? Could we do with something different there?
On the whole, what would make those kind of forums more useful and appealing as places to RP?
Come to think of it, the Nar Shaddaa ones could all be distilled down to two - the Market one, and the actual Camp one which the Bountyhunters Guild should be using instead of the pirates.
If you want any tweaking done to those forums, just let me know and I'll do some reshuffling
I'll take a look tomorrow and tell you then.
I still need/want the two Black Sun forums.
oh what a tangled web I weave
Black Sun is very quiet lately... what could we do to change that?
I has no idea. My inspiration went poof after Sorsha did.
Of course, I do have Kalail around as one of the leaders of Black Nebula.
So, let's look at the EU for inspiration:
"It is a vast criminal syndicate…its influence felt on every planet from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim. Black Sun has existed for hundreds of years, and embedded itself in the very fiber of the galaxy. The resources at its disposal are almost limitless. The soldiers under its command number in the tens of thousands. The ignorant even call it the most powerful force in the known universe."
Black Sun held a massive amount of reach and influence, extending its tendrils of corruption deep in the various galactic governments of each era. It was infamous for its involvement in piracy and smuggling. But smuggling was just the tip of the iceberg of the galaxy-wide organization.[1] It was involved in every know type of illegal activity; its information networks rivaled the accuracy and scope of Imperial Intelligence.[2] The resources available to Black Sun rivaled those belonging to a large planetary army, including footsoldiers.[3]
Below the leader of Black Sun were nine Vigos (Old Tionese for "nephew"). Each Vigo ruled over his or her own territory and sector.
But in fans history, Sass and Sorsha split Black Sun into two groups, Sun and Nebula with their respective leaders. Perhaps a merge back? Sorsha is out of the picture, I suppose >_>
Kalail is Sorsha's cousin but a business woman as well. Not sure how much it would make sense
Well, regardless of the fact that the faction split... both parts were still essentially supposed to be wide-spanning crime syndicates, with fingers in every space pie available.
Perhaps a reunification would help? There is no reason why individual Vigo's couldn't vie for power, within a single organisation. Speaking of, we could have more Vigo's, if anyone wants to step forward and play oneThere is a power vacuum kind of left behind in Sorsha's absence, after all.
We could also introduce more smuggling and piracy related elements to the group(s)?
Well Sorsha became a Hand and left power over to Kalail and OW so there is no power vacuum in that regards :P However, perhaps some piracy integrating into Sun/Nebula wouldn't be a bad idea at the very least. Combine the factions into one organization. It wouldn't be a happy family anyway. They are criminals after all.
Unless Sun/Nebula go back to one group with shared leadership or something
Hmmm... you know... what you people need is someone to cause trouble for you *nod*
...this has nothing to do with my plans to get my little group of well meaning nogooders to hit one of the Black Sun's casinos... nope. None.*whistles innocently*
*shrug* Maybe I'll see how I can irk the Nebula as well? Give some reason for a remerge of the two groups against a common "who the HELL are these people?!" threat? rofl
Tossing out ideas... don't want to step on any toes since Em et such are kinda new on the whole crime scene.
So, what if Sun and Nebula reformed and had a series of Vigos, like is mentioned in quote above? Like that Crime Council ruled over by Oren Ishii in Kill Bill? :mneh
Each one has territory, and probably their own agenda, but they also share resources.
Currently Black Sun is led by Sasseeri (like Xizor of old) with Vigos underneath her. Kal Olorin is one, Grim Kandle is another. Of course I play one of them and Grim is MIA at the moment.
I don't have a problem with more people joining in. People have expressed interest in the past but unfortunately nothing came of it.
I don't really know what I think about Black Nebula becoming part of it again.Sasseeri wouldn't have anything to do with it, so from an IC point of view its very problematic.
Even with Sorsha out of the picture? That was the biggest contention to begin with. She is gone so something bringing them together, as Em pointed out, could work
Right... Sorsha is gonna, so Sassy could be the Xizor to the whole faction theoretically.
Well, Kalail might have a problem with that
Well, you guys could turn that into something that would be interesting/fun to play out IC!
I wouldn't mind bringing in a Vigo (Michael Corleone comes to mind quite clearly to me). I seem to have no end of ideas or inspiration yet either; I've been working that muscle far more than my more physical ones, to my detriment I suppose. :/
Well in the Mafia when one family goes to war against another. They usually end up absorbing whats left of the defeated family. Good/life long Criminals tend to be a rarity. Especially ones who have connections and know what their doing.
Perhaps Sasseeri, with the backing Tear, begin hitting Nebula held territories until they call a truce and the two powers reluctantly shake hands and merge back together. Since Sorsha was the main cause of the instigation without her Sasseeri might allow most/all of the former Nebula members to rejoin the Black Sun.
There could have plenty of cloak and dagger type play trying to remove Sasseeri from power or cause trouble from within the organization itself, like Dasq pointed out.
