Fandom Star Wars: Rebirth

[Crystalblade]

The days of the Jedi have long passed, and with it the stability of the galaxy. After a great war between the Jedi and Sith that led to the destruction of both orders, the universe was plunged into a dark age. The countless conflicts and wars that followed have left the galaxy split into secluded fragments. Space travel is made increasingly dangerous between clusters of guarded systems by a spike in piracy. Only a small group of Core-World planets known as the Alliance of Confederated Systems have the resources needed to fund costly expansion beyond their borders. The every day citizen of this time has not stepped foot off of their own planet, and can only dream of what it's like to soar among the stars.

But there are a brave few who dare to traverse the wilds of space to explore new systems and experience the diverse cultures of the galaxy. More and more colonists and spacers set out every year to find new opportunities for business, commerce, and sometimes sheer adventure in the far reaches of space.

As a result of this boom in space exploration after such a dark age, there has been an awakening. The Force, which has long been seen negatively as the cause of the wars and collapse of the galaxy, has been rediscovered. Men and women wielding the ancient weapon of a Jedi, the lightsaber, have been seen in the galaxy at large over the past several years. The general population has been weary of them so far, calling them troublemakers at best and "kriffing crazy wizards" at worst, however their selfless acts of kindness and their seemly magical abilities to turn the tide in a bad situation has the potential to change their reputation for the better.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the Alliance and the other factions of the galaxy, dark storms are brewing over the planet Korriban. The dark side of the force has awoken as well. The teachings of the ancient Sith have drawn a population to the planet. All of them have felt a wistful call that lead them to the dark tombs of Korriban. A cult has spawned that worships the dead Sith as deities, and strives to follow in their footsteps.

You have been placed in this galaxy for a reason. Whether it be for good or ill, you have a part in shaping the outcome in this pivotal point in history. With who will you side? The dark? Or the light?​

RHEN VAR INFORMATION:


Rhen Var is an icy wasteland located just outside the king of Tion's borders. It has been inhospitable and devoid of sentient life for a millennia. It is here that your character's journey begins.


Locations: (Use these to explain where you are in a post)


The Ice Field - Orbiting around the planet is a deadly field of ice that have broken from the planet's low gravity. Though chunks of ice are not as damaging as asteroid collision to a ship, Trying to make a high-speed escape through it would be detrimental to the integrity of a ships hull. Take caution when flying to and from the planet.


Frozen Wastes - Large canyons spread across the landscape of the planet, and this is true close to the force pulse as well. Deadly creatures are known to patrol the ice floor at night. Entrances to the Labyrinth can be found in the lower areas of the canyons.


The Labyrinth - The tunnels underneath the surface of the planet are not just ice. They also contain the rock and dirt that was present before the planetary ice age. Darkness shrouds these dark holes, making them perfect dens for the Giant Keldak Hounds or other, even more dangerous creatures. Traversing these tunnels can give quick access to The Citadel.


The Citadel - This is the location the force pulse is calling from. These ruins have been on the planet for centuries, and are thought to have been built by ancient Jedi. Because it is located on the peak of a mountain, there is no simple way to land close-by.


Tomb of Ulic Qel-Droma - This is the tomb of a Jedi of the Old Republic. Many of the planets secrets are hidden here as well.


The Iron Vault - No one knows exactly where this is actually located. It is only mentioned in the texts uncovered on Yavin IV and Korriban. (People outside the Jedi and Sith can only feel the force pulse.)


You can find more information on Rhen Var here: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rhen_Var


(So, to keep an element of mystery, I am holding back some information. When characters are exploring a location, @me and I will PM you with the information your character discovers.)


Creatures:


Giant Keldak - These large canine beasts hunt the Frozen Wastes in search of small creatures to prey on (this would include humans). They are incredibly quick for their size but are rather dim witted creatures. They are intimidated by the presence of Wampas.


Wampa - Wampas are intelligent creatures.They rule the food chain on Rhen Var easily and defend their territory with ferocity. Records show they are not indigenous to the planet, but must have been introduced at some point. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wampa


Carianis - Carianis are giant flying creatures that have adapted to the ice planet by evolving large thermal glands to keep them warm. They have a deadly breath that they can project and boil the air around their victim, often causing burns.


And with that, I think we're ready to go. I shall make the first post. @Fezzes @Blarg222 @GimmickPuppet @Ogama @Stormtrooper996 @ThatGuyWithSouvlaki
