Star Wars: Sith Civil War - Discussion

We'll improve T1 as we go. We'll get him a droid warfare protocol system, get a few buzz-saws and plasma cutters, he'll be an astromech HK-47!

Oh, the Stenax... Yeah, those guys.

Stenax look like Satan decided to clone himself a million times over.

Tempted to call his ship The Obelisk. Is that going too far?

Why not bust out the thesaurus and roll with The Monolith?

The Obelisk works for me. What model is the ship?

I couldn't find a model that fits the size and purpose I want, so I made it up. It's a Tormenter-class Corvette, which is about three times the size of the Inheritance and with a lot more guns. The other ships are both closer to the Inheritance, being seized Republic Quartermasters. They're still about twice the size but their armaments are custom jobs and more or less equivalent to yours.

Edit: This is sort of a big choice so while it's technically up to Artoria I'd like everyone to at least know their options before the decision is made. Also, I added Lord Thiel's first name to the first post, it's Lycon.

Is this student still on Arcturus IV? Is the student a PC character or NPC?

I don't trust Korriban because it's in the thick of the Sith Civil War. X-131 is a strange world with who-knows what. I don't trust it either.

I'm inclined to go with Arcturus IV because of afore-mentioned student, and because Darth Kane apparently doesn't dare to go there. If not, I'm going with Unon because we can get supplies there and mask our presence in The Force like Zez-Kai Ell did on Nar Shaddaa.

I favor Arcturus. The space station is crime ridden, meaning that we'd be in danger of having someone sell us out for a quick profit. Korriban, well... You laid out the problem with that. And the uninhabited planet... if Kane chases us there, he can kill us and no one would know. And if the ship is damaged while jumping, there's no one to get new parts from. Also, if there were Jedi recovery missions going on, there might still be, meaning we might just be jumping out of Kane's arms and into the Republic/Jedi's

Problem is dropping into a Sith Academy without our Master just after we lost him. We'll seem weak to be running right to them after what happened... our independence may be hampered by those within. With the desolate planet, at least we'll have peace to think of what to do... and there may be something important there we can recover or discover to prove our strength before presenting ourselves to other Sith.

Artoria strikes me as being sufficiently strong enough to step up to the task of leading them, so the people at the Sith Academy shouldn't have reason to see our coterie as weak.

I think Unon would certainly be the most fun choice by a wide margin, since bustling cityscapes tend to be more interesting and useful than the competition.

That said, of the four choices, X-131 is the one Zev votes for cause, you know, trees.

That is a fair point, but we can also turn it the other way- Kane was not only weak, losing the duel and using his minions to save his own hind-quarters, but he was so utterly inept that a few apprentices evaded his clutches despite being outnumbered, outgunned, and having lost their master.

And if we add in the fact that he thinks the Dark Side has "chosen" him, he comes across as a bungling fool with delusions of grandeur.

It does make a good argument if we want to sully his reputation, so it is an indirect blow against him indeed... Though I dunno how beneficial it would be for our party besides getting those minuses for him. It really depends on the kind of Sith there.

@ Jumpin Jack Flash: The droid didn't technically mention the academy, only the planet's name. The academy is just something your characters might have heard about if they were paying attention when Thiel once talked about it, or from general knowledge of Sith space.

@Stygian Emperor I made the necessary correction.

Sindri might be able to tell you more, but Goodisgood hasn't posted yet and I'm beginning to worry about him.

Yeah, he hasn't shown up the discussion thread at all.

TA-DAAAAAA

As it was wished for, so it shall be.

I'm guessing we're not all alumni of this academy, right?

Thought Artoria might have something to say. I can move you along if you want.

She does, she's just waiting for everyone else to or to indicate they don't want to.

It's been 48 hours by this point though.

Okay. I'll get a post up, then we can move on, I guess.

I'd describe our group as being "Grey Sith". None of our group strikes me as being particularly evil, and most of their philosophies involve avoiding the extremes of the Sith ways and viewing the Dark Side as another part of The Force.
