Dolash was IM'ing me the other day regarding some cool stuff his spy-guys could do and it seems that some Jedi would like to get some action going.
I've had several plots swirling about my mind but nothing concrete. However, what is concrete are certain selective elements that can be worked around to come up with an all-round badass roleplay.
For those that may or may not know what is going on behind Kaine's plots, here is a taste of the plots that I will use to bring about the fall of Simon Kaine.
This is what I have so far, some things I want to keep and some I like enough to explore.
Some details:
Project Insidion: The genetic manipulation and creation of alien clones.
Purpose:
A: To replace free-birth aliens within Empire with malleable replacements. Slaves without free will.
B. To infiltrate GC and other governments to set up sleeper settlements of clones for eventual rebellion, isolation, and destruction.
C. To create a third party para-military arm to carry out creator's orders.
Justification: Axioms of Evolution.. Survival of the Fittest
Comparable ongoing Programs: mandatory medical checkups to experiment on alien races within Empire, long term sterilization of free-births, viral infections and relocation (quarantine) settlements
Time Frame: 10 years in the future
Why 10 years? It gives padawans a chance to rp as Knights and Knights to rp as Masters. None of this "I can't do shit cause I am a Padawan" crap. It gives IC time for GC fleet to build up, White Knights to actually sound cool, time for the hidden infestation on Mon Calamari to spread (Jan was right to worry!), gives IC time for the clones to grow and be organized. It's far enough ahead of time that crazy shit can happen and not interfere with stories going on now.
General Plotline I've been working on:
The story that is taking shape revolves around Simon Kaine's final attempt to destroy the Galactic Coalition once and for all. This time, without assistance from the Imperial High Command.
At this point, I want to create a rift between Kaine and the IHC. In Apparitions, Kaine did not want a mad-force user controlling the Empire's destiny. Sentimentality stayed his hand (with a little help from the future) in that rp. But Hyfe is still evil as they come and is still a badass Sith-dude.
In classic Kaine style, the Coalition will feel like it is getting hit at all different sides and that everything is falling apart.
Basically, during some big speech an alien will make his way (beaten up, tired, near death, whatever) into the midst of them and before dying whisper one word: Insidion
Meanwhile, back in the Empire, Kaine is alerted to the escape of a prisoner that could give out the details of his entire plan. Thinking the prisoner was taken in by GC, he decides to activate the final phase of Project Insidion.
You see, during this time, alien clones (sleeper cells) have been living inside the Coalition along pyschologically preprogrammed routines. Needless to say, it is a time of civil unrest within the Coalition as the office of Prime Minister is up for election. A "relative" of Kamon Vondiranach (Sevren Vondiranach [just made the name up]) has been living in the Coalition and boasts a large Tholatin following (living in hiding from Dragon spies). He is making a bid for the Prime Minister spot.
Basically, Insidion will have bred four main races for military purposes: Chiss, Trandoshan, Tholatin, and Quermian. The Quermians will not be as prominent as they are telepathic clones. There are other smaller groups of clones (like Azguards, etc..) but more for setting up sleeper cells on GC worlds, not necessarily military use.
On Mon Calamari, the temperature of the oceans seems to be changing which could wreck Mon Cal's ecological environment.
This was an idea I had from day one when Kamino was first taken by GC and they dumped pet squids on them. When we dumped the bloody animals back on Mon Calamari, my initial reason was that they would be genetically altered to spread a chemical that affected plankton life in the Mon Cal seas. Over the years, the mutated plankton would begin to create massive patches of Red Tide, which would have devestating ecological effects. If something was not done to combat this, the planet would be rendered uninhabitable and have to be evacuated.
Perhaps the key to stopping this proliferation could be breaking into some high security office on a TNO world (Kaine's offices or something) and ripping it off.
Azguardia is home to civil unrest as portions of the population begin to have visions from "God" that they are to be masters of the universe. One Azguard begins to stand out as some "Messiah" figure.
I liked the idea of an Azguard Messiah figure and perhaps promoting evolutionary racism in reverse. Amid growing panic in the war, perhaps gaining more supporters than he should. Not sure where this plotline would go but Azguard theology would be interesting diversion.
And just as it seems things couldn't get worse, the Chiss return striking a bloody path cutting of the Onyxian Provinces from the rest of the Coalition. They begin to set up strongholds to support supply lines indicating that they mean to stay. It a strangely composed army however, as most of their ground soldiers are Trandoshans (sp).
The attack on the GC would come on three fronts: 1. Full outright war with the Chiss and Trandoshan armies. 2. Insurrectionist movements through sleeper cells and 3. psuedo-righteous running for office (Tholatins).
I like the idea of the full frontal war sectioning off parts of the GC like Onyxian Provinces and Azguardia with other GC worlds. Makes the lightside heros' plight that much more dramatic and their counter-moves that much more brilliant.
Meanwhile back in TNO:
The Empire (Emperor and crew) seem happy at this turn of events for the GC however they do not know that these Chiss/Trandoshan/Tholatin/Azguard enflamers are actually the Children of Insidion, clones of the genetic material taken from various races found within the Empire. While the Emperor has some knowledge of the project no one knows the exact extent Kaine has pressed the project except those most loyal to him, his 256th.
Imperial Intelligence finds this out and IHC and Hyfe fear that this is finally Kaine's bid for the throne.
Conducting his own private war, Kaine is of the belief that the Coalition will simply buckle under the pressure. And after the clones rip apart the GC they will die off as there are failsafes inside them that will make them sterile.
Emperor Hyfe, though, has never forgiven Kaine for the move that almost took his life in Apparitions and he see's Kaine's focus on the current GC troubles as an opportunity to finally rid himself of this rival.
Hyfe, ever the opportunist. Withour even roleplaying he's formidable. Whodathunkit?
And so, he alllows GC Intelligence agents to finally break TNO's seemingly impenetrable propaganda wall of moderation (especially where Kaine is concerned) by making sure these spies find out about a hidden facility of New Republic and Coalition prisoners still being held at some undisclosed prison facility.
With GC forces split fighting a two front war with the Chiss and with Vondiranach calling for war against the Dragons to liberate Tholatin and with the superiority fervor gripping Azguard, Regrad sends his battered White Knights along with Jedi to attack this facility (despite the fear that a three front war might result with TNO for doing what is right).
This would be the actual turning point. For when hundreds or thousands of prisoners are liberated, there will be references in the computers about Insidion linking Simon Kaine to the project and include some stuff about him wanting to take over the Empire. (all planted by Hyfe's minions).
The Chiss forces begin pushing toward Onyx by regrouping their on Csilla. And that is where Joren Logan will destroy them (I hope he figures it out).
The return of the prisoners gives Regrad or whoever the popular support to defeat the mad ravings of their Messiah figure. He resorts to violence and is defeated by White Knights/Jedi, etc..
GC finds way to stop disaster on Mon Cal.
They figure out the truth about the clones and that they've been engineered to be sterile and die off. GC leaders take this information to Vondiranach as both GC fleets and Tholatin fleets square off to fight.
Kaine's 256th has offered support to Vondiranach in his "noble attempt to keep the Coalition's honor intact, etc.." and begins to cross into GC space.
The trouble is, the Vondiranach clone believes his purpose and is actually earnest in his endeavors and was misled into thinking GC leaders are inept and greedy, etc..
He is shocked by how he's only a pawn in this Insidion plan and GC leaders and Vondiranach hatch a new plan. They move the evidence to an out of the way system called Algeron. There is a transmitter there that broadcasts claiming evidence of Kaine's insidious plot against GC and Emperor.
Emperor Hyfe is "outraged" at the news (as he knew the GC would broadcast) and declares Kaine rogue.
Kaine, thinking that if he controlled this evidence (or better yet elimintated it) moves his fleet towards the Algeron system to attack. The manipulator becomes the manipulated.
GC fleet and Tholatin Fleet are lying in wait and the battle ensues. TNO actually supports GC by closing the back door on Kaine.
Surrounded with no hope of winning Kaine begins a tactical withdrawal and as the ships turn tail. Kaine's flag is pounded and as the ship makes a blind jump a large explosion takes place.
His ship never exits hyperspace and the trajectory puts it in line with a star. It is assumed he is dead.
Hyfe begins to purge TNO of all of Kaine's 256th.
GC celebrates victory..
and life goes on..
These are just ideas. If you'd like to be a part of this or have better ideas, then share.
Note, this is a storyline rp and there will be no taking or gaining of assets.
I didn't want to do an attack on Naboo as the Jedi never seem to go anywhere and I think the good citizens of Theed are tired of dying. Perhaps the Jedi will participate in the war, or investigate the clones or take part is infiltrations to obtain data necessary to keep the Coalition alive another day.
If you would like to be a part, offer your ideas. Remember, it's 10 years in the future so perhaps speculate on what your character would be like at that time and what they might have experienced.
