In the council chamers, the 4 highlords and 10 masters where watching a holorecording of a clash with sith forces on delma. For the 10th time they watched as from the front of the sabers ranks a tremendus roar erupted and they charged into the sith troops and a huge knot of them was pushed backwards by a single man, robed in black with 2 red lightsabers, waving his hand before slaughtering the troops around him. They watched as he fought rutaun Haykin and after a long battle cut him down with out much effort.
"Pah, why do you make us watch this again my lord!?" master shouted Galanoth " We have seen how he fights, how strong he is, why do not we go and kill him now?"
"Impatent as always Galanoth, and you forget your place" said talon, rising from his seat and lowering his white hood, revealing his youthful face, some how giving an aoura of age beyond his years "We watch this, not to see him fight, but because of this" he said, pointing at what apeared to be a dark cloud in the background.
"What, a storm?" retorted galanoth
"That is not just a storm galanoth, rember your teachings, rember how Nilos fead on the people of a planet? That is what hapens when some one atempts the techneque, clearly we have another sith intend on galactic domination on our hands, more so than useual." For each of those in the room new that this method generated great power for the user of the teqneque.
"I think it is time for action Talon, not mear contemplation" said one of the other highlords and there was a murmer of agreement
" I know, but i am not as irational as my predoceser, look where that got him" Talon said, pointing to an alchove wherew a vase villed with ash stood, with the inscription 'Power is useless with out wisdme, this warrier learned the hard way' " So, if you will excuse me, i am going to the bekon room, from this moment forth, no sith shall be safe"

In the becon room a mesage was recorded and sent out to all memberes of the order and all the mager governments in the known galixy, reading from this day forth, an exodus is enacted upon the sith by the sith sabers untill such a time as they are deemed vanquished, Circulate this message to all, and together we can remove the scourge that is sith.

Vessel: Heavily modified Nubian J-Type 327 series; boasts two forward mounted turbolaser batteries, secondary shield grid, forward torpedo tube, top mounted Phalanx torpedo array, cloaking device (crappy and seldom works well, if at all)
It's basically the royal starship from Episode I, but the 'throne room' has been gutted and turned into the chamber for the Phalanx array. The forward 'royal quarters were also converted to house the machinery for the turbolasers and torpedo chamber. Pretty much all the of the luxuries that would have been reserved for the queen were gutted and replaced with weaponry.

IC:

The Silver Talon swooped in low over the planet, mere feet from hitting the surface. Once it reached a stretch of level ground, the vessel deployed landing struts and touched down. A man walked down the now dropped boarding ramp, his armor still painted in a faded woodland camo motif from his last hunt. His helmet was clipped to his belt, so his face was visible. He had received the message, and quite frankly was intrigued.

He strode to the gate a few hundred yards from his ship and was confronting by a guard, asking him to state his intentions.

"Isn't it obvious?" he said with a smile, the act stretching the scarred skin around his left eye, "Why else would I be here if not to render assistance on your proposed hunting trip?"

Between the armor and weapons draped over him, the man's profession was obvious, meaning it was no sure bet these people would even acknowledge him.

The guard stood there for a few seconds then said "very well, you are honoured indeed bountyhunter, a high lord shall see you now" and with a wave of his hand the ship apeared to vanish and with another wave the wall behind the guard apeared to morph into a door of stonen (it was infact concealed with the force, this is what hapens too the ship) "Come" and, seeminly of its own acord the door opened and the guard lead the way thrugh, another one steping out too take his place.

Concealing surprise and shock at the disappearance if his ship, Darius nodded to the guard and followed. He was equally surprised at the sudden emergence of a door seemingly form nothing.

The door disappeared behind him, and he had a very faint flutter in his stomach; it was a feeling he hadn't experienced in almost ten years: he was nervous, possibly afraid. All of a sudden the weapons he carried seemed insignificant to the power these individuals possessed. He checked the urge to put his helmet on.

"your fear is misplaced here my friend" said Shak'ti, steping out of a doorway a few minutes away from the door where they entered the facility " we shall not harm you, indeed it would be foolish to do so. You are aware, i take it of the exodus we have placed upon the sith? We need all the help we can get, even our abilitys can take us only so far" turining to the guard he said "go, ready your batalions for the front." The guard bowed and walked away after Shak'ti returned the bow "This way then" he said turning thrugh the door he had just steped thrugh, leading Darius down a long, softly light coridor and turning into another doorway "just a few questions first before we begin preperations"

The hunter nodded as he turned to follow this new individual, "Of course, what do you want to know?"

He relaxed a little at this reassurance, even more so when he reminded himself that the Sith were evil. Any organization devoted to taking them out must be the good guys. Then again, in his profession good and evil were perspectives. Who paid the most was all that mattered.

"simply fill this form out" Shak'ti said, sliding a data pad across the table he was seated at. On the form there where only five questions which where:
'Have you any history of force sensitivity?'
'Are you trained in any sword forms?'
'Which sword form are you trained in?'
'Are you willing to risk death for the greater good?'
'What do you hope to gain from aiding our cause?'

He raised an eyebrow at the first question, but nonetheless filled out the pad:

1. Do premonitions count? If so, yes.
2. Yes
3. Class Four Master of Close Quarters/Melee combat technique of the Dominion Defense Forces
4. The enemy would first have to be capable of killing me
5. Justice served

He slid the pad back over and sat back.

"hmmmm, yes, these are good answers" said Shak "the premonitions count as force senstivity, be careful how you use that power, it can spell disaster if acted upon in anyway. However, due to your ability to 'conect' to the force and exempleryh combat skills, I pronounce you Padawan of the Sith Sabers and grant you full access to the halls of valas hour, save the council chambers. Do not disapoint me, brother" he said, griping the mans fore arm and shaking his hand at the same time. When he pulled his hand away, there was a small mark on the gauntlet of the armor (a circle with a smaler one inside), an old mark meaning 'light stands againts the greatest darkness', the mark still glowed faintly as if the armor had simply been melted but with pinpoint acuracy and precision.
OOC:sorry about that but it doesent really do anything to the armor anyway, its like 1 milimeter thick (or scaled acordingly to the thickness of the gauntlet)
IC (again): " I assume that you know what one of these is?" he said holding up a lightsaber (with out a stygem crystal inserted so it had no blade yet) "for the sake of speed we have a standeredised model produced for you to use, but customise it how you will, we have left the stygem crystal out of it. I shall have a few of the crystals sent to your quaters" he said as he rose from his seat and went to the door where yet another Guardaun stood to the side "lead him to his quarters in the gardens of mania when he is ready" he told the guard and bowed to Darius

Darius smiled and bowed his head slightly, "Thanks, good to be onboard. I've never really been a part of anything before."

He returned the handshake and received the lightsaber, turning it over in his hand.

"I've always heard of these things, but never seen one up close. It's...lighter than I expected. I-" but Shak had already gone. He turned to the guard, "Well, I guess I'll see what those quarters are like."

"Well, I guess I'll see what those quarters are like."

"Of course, this way brother" the guard said turning and striding at a fairly quick pace, leading Darius back into the main halway and thrugh a series of doors, fireing the names of each location they passed at him without any pause. After a few minutes had passed they passed a door with a gold inscription (in dragonian) on it sayin 'strength is nothing with out knowledge,' Here at last did the guard stop for a minute and said "This is the archive room,we have all the knowledge of the empier and the sabers here and in the archives of the other sanctuerys, there is tutalage available here if you should need it" and then he marched on once more. Eventually they reached a bare strech of dull metal, in which a door, yet again, seemed to apear out of nowhere and Talon steped out, flanked by two Rutaun
"Ah, what is this? the new initiate (news travles extreamly fast in the sanctuerys, partialy due to use of the force to telepathicly relay mesages), I am highlord Talon, leader of our great order, i bid you welcome. If you will excuse me i have to over see the asembly of a taskforce. May you be strong with the force" he said before bowing to Darius and the guard and walking away, conversing with the rutaun, as he did so the door again vanished
" That door leads to the council chambers, it is off limits to any below master or who are not invited within, now then, almost there" the guard said and set off again, after two minutes they came to a door, again bearing a gold inscription, this one saying (in dragonian) 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' and the guard said " here we are, follow me, almost there now" and they steped into the gardens of mainia.

The gardens where filled with many strange and beutiful plants and in the center there was a great golden statue of a dragon, fighting what looked suspiciosly like an acklay, with golden flames burning in its mouth. Darius was lead along a walkway that led him up and over the statue and to a white door
"These are your quaters, i hope you find them to your satisfaction, if you wish you may alter the entry code from the data terminal inside, curently it is your personal code which is on here" at this the guard handed him a data pad "the crystals master Shak'ti promesed you have already be braught look" and he indicated a medium sized, intricatly carved wooden box "I shall leave you now to setel in, if you need help with something call on the computer terminal."

OOC: please note that for etiquets sake i wont RP Darius entering his room, thats ruthless' job, but he will find a few sets of robes (in bloodred, white, golden/brown, black or plain) laid out for him with a note explaining that they are traditional robes but do not have to be worn. He will find a computer console in the wall (furthest from the door) next to a window looking out to the sea of harmoney, a manual about the baisics of lightsaber mechanics and a book teching how to further ones conection to the force (without turning to the dark side).
Also, contained in the box are the folowing colours of crystal: Red, Blue, Green, Silver, Brown, Purple(I know we never see a brown lightsaber in any of the games or films but hell, we can have purple, why not brown lol). Ruthless, you can decide what Darius does with them, if he chhoses to wear the robes you can choose one of those colours and the asame aplys withthe crystals

bumpity bumpity

Darius walked in and immediately went to the box that was pointed out. He opened it, and saw the various crystals arrayed there. He pulled the silver crystal out of the box and gently placed it on the table. He noted the rest of the surroundings and, out of reflex, used a small scanner in his helmet to set up a proximity sensor before picking up the manual.

He understood the gist of how a lightsaber worked, so he skimmed the first few chapters until he hit 'Installation'. He follwed the instructions and when he was finished, hit the ignitor. Sparks shot from the hilt and he quickly deactivated it, refraining from reflexively throwing it away from him.

He followed the instructions more precisely this time, backtracking to a chapter talking about focusing his energy to help him. Mustering some of the Force power he supposedly had, his fingers began moving deftly through the installation process. This time, he was rewarded with a long silver blade of light that shot from the hilt. Allowing a self-satisfied smile, he extinguished it and clipped it to his belt.

He then strode over to the closet and checked the various robes that hung from hangars. With little deliberation, he chose the black robe because it matched the base color of his armor- black. He took the cloak portion of it and fastened it to his armor so that aside from the bulge ofthe helmet still on his belt, the armor was totally concealed. Now better acquainted with his surroundings, he replaced the cloak on the hangar, took off his armor, and put the black robes on over his underclothes.

He sat down in a chair and began reading the manual on use of the Force.

I could get used to this; almost like having a family again. Now if only I knew where my ship was...

At the maain plaza valer legion was asembaling, rows upon rows or wariers marched in unison, together they passed lords Shak'ti and Talon, beside them where master thor and master raja.
"Warriers of the sabers, brothers in arms, we march this day to put a stop to the dark reign of Malak. I know you will fight hard, I know you will fight well, but most of all I know you will fight with honour. Let the enemy try to stop us, they shall fall like all those who have oposed our order in the past.
Go now, board the assult ship, for the emporer and the greater good!!"In unison the troops roared and boarded the ships "lets go shall we?" and the four men follod behing the main troop colum.

As the last man boarded the ship its ramp retracted, its sheilds raised and it entered orbit, waiting for the escort crusers ( D.E.S. Fury and D.E.S. Purger), Talon sent a mesage to darius
Brother, we are about to head to our first battle, if you wish to come and test your skills you may, we fight the sith lord Malak and his forces, it may prove an interesting chalenge
Talon

Darius heard the chime on his comsole. He read the message and sent a simple response: Five minutes.

He quickly removed the robes and began putting his armor back on. The normally long process only took a minute or so due to years of experience; it was like the average person getting dressed for work. He than went about taking the weapons he'd spread around the room and replaced them on the armor.

He was about to walk out the door when he stopped and smiled beneath his helmet. Walking back in, he took the cloak from its hangar and fastened it to the armor. With the exception of his helmet it was totally concealed. Following his memory of the layout of rooms, he made his way to the assembly building.

"got him on sensers sir, hes near the asembly room now"
"Beam him directly to the bridge, store his ship in the hanger" talon replyed to the young tactical oficer, fresh out of the acedimy (of imperial war).
"Aye sir" he said pressing three buttons.

In the acedimy Darius was enveloped in a white glow then ,with a low humming sound, pulled up into the ship, rematerialising on the bridge (ooc: sry bout that Ruthless)
"Ah, welcome aboard the S.S.S. Serpentine, padawan" said tallon as he turned to face him.
"Sir, i have the specified ship in the tertiery hanger. Detecting two transwarp conduits opening to the port, its the escorts." In space, off the port bow of the ship two green flashes of light, lasting a few seconds, heralded the arival of the Fury and the Purger, the Fury hailed the Serpentine.
"Hail, lord Talon, we are here to escort you to Telos, shall we go?"
"Yes, Helm, maximum speed to Telos, follow matching our speed please admaral" He said adresing the comander of the Fury.
Three more flashes followed thier exit to transwarp.

TAG - The Galactic Empire will deal with your ruthless and unwarranted declaration of war upon her Emperor. Let it be known that it was not the Sith that started this conflict. Once again the treachery of the Jedi can only be seen too easily. Will post soon.

Mercies and Terrors of the Galactic Empire surround a Galaxy now in peace and tranquillity. The Jedi have fallen, they have fallen into shadow never to rise again from the ashes of a shattered order, shattered by one of their own.

The Sith did not open the doors to the council chambers, the Sith did not execute the war, the Sith did not hunt down and attempt to exterminate the balance of the force. It is the Jedi that breeds hate. It is the Jedi that breed fear. It is the Jedi that breed chaos and destruction which for too long consumed a Galaxy, until of course the merciful hand of the emperor rested upon the tranquil seas of Coruscant, which in turn welcomed him with cheer and lavish grace into the warm waters of power.

The Coredians have fallen, the shadow has embraced them with power, yet their minds and their wills are too weak to control it. Their desire for power unfocused and un-nurtured stands as simple testimony to the danger that the Jedi face to the Galaxy.

Imperial peace has swept over the realm, Imperial order has consumed and blessed those who are too tired of war. Smuggling has been cut away from the vine, and bad seeds strangled and weeded out. Yet the Jedi threaten further destruction upon a good evil force upon the Galaxy?

What use is democracy if it only brings chaos and disorder? What use is democracy if it only leads to war? What use is democracy if it costs even one life? What use are the Jedi if the stand for the good of their own, and not the good of the people whom they should be protecting. Where is the responsibility of freedom, nay, they declare tyranny under a mist of self indulgence.

Righteous are the Sith, noble are the Sith, they recognise their sin and repent within their hearts of the evil of which they know they are. There is none who is free from the darkness, the Jedi ignore such a universal truth, the Sith recognise their nature, they grow and seek after the gifts of the force without restraint. War has been declared, the very life of the emperor threatened from a last remaining enclave of Jedi. What then shall the Sith do? Show mercy? Break with their nature?

The greatest fire will be the inferno of judgement, and this council, this fledgling Jedi spat that cowers on the edge of the Galaxy will be brought before the Obsidian throne. Mercy is not a part of the empires mandate. Peace at any costs is. ~ Personal Log of Captain Augustus Soras en route to Jedi Cleansing.

ooc: Ok, ok, ok, lemme get this straight.
Ur the galactic empier of sith? If not then you cant really say we declaired war with you as we declaired war against the sith, not the empier. If yes that would never hapen unless the sith could gain something from it.
I hope you dont mean the sith sabers when you say The greatest fire will be the inferno of judgement, and this council, this fledgling Jedi spat that cowers on the edge of the Galaxy will be brought before the Obsidian throne. Mercy is not a part of the empires mandate. Peace at any costs is. ~ Personal Log of Captain Augustus Soras en route to Jedi Cleansing. as they are not jedi. Also if where going to reach one of the twelve academys youd have to get past the imperial sheild belt (A ring of systems with hugely powerfull defences surounding the empiers core worlds, where the academys are located) and the combined fleets of Ih8uwannakillu and Ih8uwannakillu2.
However you can post but i was planing to RP the sith battles, meh. If you are going to be the sith youll have to RP the battle on Telos as we are about to emerge from transwarp and fight the sith lord Malak II

IC: At Telos the three ships sliped silently from transwarp with another green flash.
"Detecting a couple of sith crusers over the planet sir." the tactical oficer called "shall i arm the weapons?"
"NO! take us to stelth mode, tell the escorts to lure them away."
"Aye sir. Escort craft, lure those sith crusers away from the planet to clear the way." And a the crusers sent a volly of orenge magna beams at the sith crusers and blasted away to the far side of the moon in the most obvius way posable, blasting shot after shot at the sith, blue turbo lasers and lasers joining the orenge shots. The serpentine cloacked and powered down all non esential systems
As the sith ships began to give chase to the escorts it powered towards the planetas fast as it dared, nearing orbit, where it would have to decloack.

[Clearly, using two accounts for personal advantage is not frowned upon.

Oh no, never.]

ooc: And i didnt say i was using two acounts did I?
I said any one who tryed to get at the core worlds would face them. I didnt say i would use my other one, in fact to be fair i would never do that. If we were not RPing then i would use both for defence, however, im not a complete moron, i do know we cant use two acounts in an RP.
The whole point of OOC (meaning out of charicter) is that its stating a fact/ making a point, not adding to the RP.
Oh and i have 145 more posts on jolt than you, I think i am a little more familerized with the rules than you.

In the becon room a mesage was recorded and sent out to all memberes of the order and all the mager governments in the known galixy, reading

Quote: from this day forth, an exodus is enacted upon the sith by the sith sabers untill such a time as they are deemed vanquished, Circulate this message to all, and together we can remove the scourge that is sith.

I'm afraid you declared war on all that is Sith. With the Emperor of the Galactic Empire a Sith Lord, I'm afraid that you have just declared war on the Empire herself. We're not warmongers or bloodthirsty, but we will not allow such open hunting of the Sith.

Most likely we will begin diplomacy first of all and establish the size of the threat, and challenge you on it. If you continue then it will probably become an armed conflict.

OOC:
Oooo. He made a big mistake, didn't he?

ooc: just give it a bit...

OOC:

ooc: And i didnt say i was using two acounts did I?

Oh really?

and the combined fleets of Ih8uwannakillu and Ih8uwannakillu2.

Look familiar?


I didnt say i would use my other one, in fact to be fair i would never do that. If we were not RPing then i would use both for defence, however

See above..and honestly I cant see the difference between using two accounts for defense and two accounts for an RP, since a defense of anything IS an RP.

im not a complete moron

Well you're more than a partial one.

i do know we cant use two acounts in an RP.

See above.

The whole point of OOC (meaning out of charicter)

We don't need the fundamentals of something that we..y'know..cultivated and developed years before you got here explained to us.


Oh and i have 145 more posts on jolt than you, I think i am a little more familerized with the rules than you.

Apparently his ability to type in a rational fashion and grasp the rules of this place points to the fact that he is far better versed in nationstates etiquette than you are. I hope you become familiar with the term "puppet" before you embarass yourself further.

One last thing: Read the stickies.

OOC: This looks like a prime example of what that new player assistance alliance thing was trying to prevent. It's got war-mongering AND poor grammar, as well as a decently skilled new guy.

I'll just tag this as an example...

There we go.

Provided it gets back on track with some decent grammatical upgrades and the like, I might actually participate. It's been awhile since I saw a Star Wars RP, and nearly none of them were done properly. It would be nice to see one of some quality.

ooc:Well, i like war mongering lol, besides practicly every one in the galixy (starwars at least) hates sith so i thought "i know ill rp a war on them."
As for the bad gramer, i explain about that on the ooc thread ( http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=544627&highlight=ih8uwannakillu). Feel free to join the thread

OOC: The problem being that the Sith of Unified Sith possess an Empire and vassals, as well as powerful allies (like me) who help to shephard those vassals. I stand as Warmaster of all Imperial forces, and support/use/aid him in many ways :D
