Timeline Discussion Thread

I thought it might be easier if we just use this thread for Timeline discussions from now on.

So thoughts on the latest "Peace for the Republic?" one.....

I see a potential story arc where you have to infiltrate the Jedi, possibly as an Inquisitor (so it does sound hard to pull off in-game). It also sounds interesting that the Jedi was corrupted, perhaps something we'll see in-game as well. As for the story itself, it's quite interesting and does display typical Sith rivalries. On a side note, it sort of negates a paragraph of mine in the latest update to Sharho's story. Shame.

I found that really interesting. Although I'm a big fan of space battles and intergalactic wars, which tend to make a great setting for stories of individuals and their beliefs, it was good to see the timeline going in a little deeper, looking at singular events even if they did end up connecting with the main central story-arc of the Dark Emperors invasion of the galaxy.

Some political intrigue is always good in my book ^^

That being said I got really excited when I watched this video, but not necessarily for the same reasons everyone else did.

As most people know (or those who have read Dark Secrets thus far), I'm a huge fan of The Infinite Empire and have been hoping that, being the people that brought this civilisation into the story of Star Wars, that BioWare would slip content into the game about it somewhere.

Then I saw this:



I have high hopes ^^

That ain't no Central Pillar. It's the other "arm" The original Star Forge has three arms - so this is probably that actual Star Forge.

Arm, pillar, over-exuberant monkey... you know what I mean

I think you're right it is THE Star Forge, just at a lop-sided angle...I'm only used to seeing it facing upright.

But yeah I'm hoping we can actually come across some I.E. stuff, not just see it in holo-recordings / ruins....

What was the elphant race in the timeline i want to play that race

Wow - you really like that I.E Empire, huh. I myself like the Clone War Seperatists (unfortunately, with the exception of Darth Squid who-time-travelled-hooked-up-with-dooku-made-a-new-seperatist-fleet-and-became-richest-in-the-universe, I don't think they'll be included )

Also - is it just me, or does it look like we could have some Kit Fistos running around? (I mean Nautolans will be playable)

Don't worry, he probably invented the Infinite Empire

That'll be an Ortolan.

If Bioware is including the StarForge, I think it will play a big role in the game. Consider the possibilities for the faction that controls the StarForge; victory is (more or less) secured. If I was a gambling man, which often I am not, I would say that the Sith Empire wanted a ceasefire with the Republic in order to secure the territory they captured and search for the StarForge. Perhaps player will have to hunt for clues to the location of the StarForge? Will they incorporate the mysterious departure of Revan and the Jedi Exile into the plot?

I'm willing to say yes.

I do hope so! I'm a big fan of the Nautolans as you know but I've only ever seen them potrayed as Jedi which is unfortunate. A badass battle-worn Bounty Hunter would look pretty mean IMO.

*ahem* sneaky link

This is why I prefer the Old Republic it just has such a rich backstory that they can draw from, this charts sith and Jedi stories here, infiltrators withing the jedi that need to be found, Sith who need to protect the tomb of aga shada from sith sepratists lots of oppertunities

I agree. There's so much to draw from that the galaxy's 'hay-day' makes the newer stuff seem pale by comparison. Though growing up with the Rebellion Era, I still have a soft spot for that time.
