PRIVATE (Guild Discussion) RP Cross-over Thread

I wasn't aware it was only known by the Jedi! Blimey I suppose that does cause a few problems canonically. That said I get the impression that the Path would be in it to win it and not want to share the wealth of their knowledge with the rest of the Empire, and if anyone could be aware of the Jedi Order's current location then I'm sure it'd more than likely be E.P.O.C.H.

If this is the sypnosis then I agree it will at least need a big spin in the description when you write it out Harly.

I read this as a note about when Tython was first found, rather than it being kept a secret. If they rediscovered the planet early in the war then by the time of the Treaty of Coruscant I'm sure word would have gotten out. Once the Jedi run back there with their tails behind their legs, I can't imagine nobody looked into where they were all dissapearing to. Personally I would say that ATC Tython would be fairly common knowledge.

Not frequented by anyone, but certainly known.

In the aftermath of the Great Galactic War, the Jedi Order relocated to Tython following the Sacking of Coruscant in 3,653 BBY. There, they attempted to rebuild their order, despite trouble with a local Twi'lek pilgrim colony and a mysterious influence emanating from the world itself.

I took this from wookiepedia so maybe not accurate but from what I remember the Jedi relocated there after the Sacking of Coruscant, personally I don't think it would be that well known and a bit of a strech to hold the RP there but its up to Harl

Hmmm yeah it is a bit tricky to be honest. The only way around that I can see is by making sure that the Sith'ari Path have no plans of informing the rest of the Empire of what they're up to. From what I gather they're more like seekers of knowledge anyway so it might just work. Then again the Sith that I know would report thier findings and send a legion of Sith the Jedi's way to extinguish them once and for all. Tough call.

Still, I think it's something to consider 'cause if it is unknown then we aren't allowed to mess with canon.

While I'm not sure if this clears anything up at all, the following is written on the SWTOR Jedi Faction Holonet page:

Despite their intentions, the Jedi Order’s search for serenity on Tython has been strained. Among the ancient Tythonian ruins, mysterious Force energies abound, and the legacy of a long forgotten darkness has re-emerged. With the arrival of a Twi’lek pilgrim clan determined to settle on Tython in violation of Galactic Republic law, delicate and dangerous trials have arisen for Jedi Padawans in training and for the Order itself.

So canonanically(??) some folk know enough of Tython to be determined to settle there.

Well they may just be traveling pilgrims who happened upon it, I don't think we'll really know until the game comes out so its just a matter of judgement for the GM and us I suppose

Well the Deep Core being what it is and making space travel "difficult at best" I wouldn't have thought colonists would be in that region in the first place and then to just happen accross Tython, but you're absolutely right. Until BioWare tell us more all speculations just have to be a best guess. As for the RP, does Harl get to choose or in light of...

...will the boss veto using Tython till further notice?

(Answers on a post card )

I'm keeping it in Tython, it will add to the drama having a Sith attack on a super secret place. We can have one of the two:

1) The Path know about Tython all along, being Historians and Discoverers
2) We don't know the planet or what it is but we learn when we make planet fall

I'm thinking that the story will kick off after Skursir has been promoted to diplomat between the two guilds and we recieve the contract. It starts with Skur briefing the team about the mission and introducing them to the Path before we go in. We'll be in some sort of ship which Skursir (who will provide intel for the team) and I'm guessing the Falleen will stay in.

Thing is though, should Skursir be the guy on the mic, or should we have our resident blue-skin? Or both?

Nah it's Harly's RP at the end of the day and its not a massive leap to think that the Path are aware of Tython. It'll probably need a bit of input from the Path though to make it believable. Actuallu I'd have a word with them Harly and see what they say first.

Blue skin?

The Etti whose name I can't spell

Malindrll Mdybo [Ma-lin-drull Di-bow]

Don't worry Harl, I can never remember either. I have to search for "receptionist" to remind myself! lol

I'm sure once she's been used a bit it'll stick in our heads^^

Hehe, but the point still stands:

Who'll be providing intel, support and evac? If Malindrll is use then my I have permission to use her?

Anyone can use her but it sounds like the job you'd be looking at would involve her much more heavily than I'd intended and that role would be much better suited to a player.

How about we use Malindrll for intel on the mission and other aspects while Skursir will standby for some offical detailing?

Also its worth considering that part of the point of Malindrll is that she is never seen, that nobody has any direct contact with her. Wouldn't that make things a little difficult in a situation like this? I'd suspect you'd need someone a lot more.... 'hands on'. It would make sense that she would be a contact, a source of information - but beyond that it may be a little outside the parameters of her use.

Perhaps a newly created / dedicated NPC?

Damn you beat me to it

Exactly. I'm a bit worried that you want to feature her so heavily. She was never really meant to be a member of the team, she's kind of on the outside. She's there to answer your calls and help with whatever she can but she's really not able to sit in on missions. She has her own job to do and must be available to do it.

Lunarwolf's suggestion is a great one though and gets a thumbs up from me.

We also need a ship. I put my vote in for the 578-R space transport.

Hehe! It looks like Thunderbird 4. I love it!!

Agreed. My impression of Malindril was that she was the one that clients contacted directly to employ us as the Falleen couldn't, or am I wrong?

Oh and btw I love the ship!!

Right, do we have crew-for-hire on this ship? Jylan alone can't pilot this bad boy alone so I think we'll have to out source on this one.

I don't mind helping pilot the ship (as Creed) with Jylan. Seeing as Aleena's the one with the highest rank I assume she'll be leading the group and giving team talks etc, so that leaves Creed free for any other duties.

Hmmm.. I thought that this set up is best:

Sharasvar leads the expedition, and has chartered a ship for the Path and the EPOCH. As the ambassador between the two guilds, Skursir manages the operation from the ship, but it's Aleena who controls the EPOCH force. However, both sides unite into one with Sharasvar acting as leader for the whole. I'll send you the introduction SS later...

Well to be honest I always pictured E.P.O.C.H as a group that gets given a contract and we do the job on our terms. Saying that I do think that Sharasvar should lead the expedition but I know the only person that Creed will take orders from is Aleena, not sure about how the rest of the guys feel about this though. I suppose each characters different at the end of the day.

Just sent you the intro, tell me what you think. And yeah, I guess the set up would get some people upset, but at the end of the day, it is the Path that hired us to enforce them on this mission so it's only right that the ground leader is Sharasvar. Plus, he is the guild leader after all

That's how I see it. I would be surprised for TMF or Aleena to agree to hand over the reigns of command to a contractor.

And (unsurprisingly ) I have a different view on the OOC ramifications; ie: is it fair to put the onus on Sharasvar to drive the RP? I know it's always a group effort but since we're hosting I would've thought that we'd need/use an IC leader that could stomp about and help Harl guide the RP. Can a guest comfortably do that?
