Dominions

[Corvus Raaf]

With the Event and the long week-end behind us, it's a good time to think once more about Dominions - but only if you want to.

Rather than the IC or OOC team telling you which planets we should go for and why, we'd like to hear from you.

So, if there's a planet you'd like to Dominion - post here and tell us. It could be because it solves that nasty tentacle problem, or has a particularly useful resource - or it could be your home planet.

The reward? If it's something the members want to get behind, you get to start the thing and come up with the objectives etc.

And don't worry too hard and long about them. if you see a Dominion and want to participate but none of the objectives work for you, just go with what you know. Diplomats, speak to the local government about power once part of the Republic. Military types can deal with pirates, Sith sympathisers, rebels. Jedi can deal with Dark-sided cults for example. Anyone can help out at hospitals, refugee camps or build help things.

The map is currently open - but won't remain that way forever. So if you have a strong opinion, please share it.

Brentaal IV. I've been insisting on this one since the event. It's one of the most valuable locations in the galaxy.

It's also my homeworld, among other reasons.

 

[Seraphina Shel'tah]

Please keep in mind that Cyrillia is still open and we need to finish that before starting any others.

Speaking of Cyrillia, are there any plans to widen/expand upon the plot for that dominion since we have a longer post requirement to complete it?

This!

I hate border gore. I'd love to see us take planets like Tarhassan, Belasco, Farquar, etc to close up the map.

Also, Ord Mantell because Ord Mantell.

The Objectives are quite loose and shouldn't get in the way of a good story. If, for example, you simply wanted to go and visit a friend there, have them now be a politician, pirate, droid factory employee, terrorist etc.

But point taken, I'll open it up a little in the opening post - just use your imaginations

 

[Gir Quee]

I just wanted to make sure that I didn't go anywhere crazy and accidentally mess up a planned plot with a random tangent I went on.

Nope There are no hard-plots or objectives for dominions. We simply set them up as general guides in case anyone isn't interested in devising their own plot. Everyone is welcome to do what they'd like, which is part of what makes them so great. We can use them as dev threads as well in the event that you wish to accomplish something specific.

Speaking completely OOC, as Dair is a Padawan.

In my opinion, if we are going to take Brentaal IV, we may as well do the bold move and go for Coruscant. I realize that would take a War or something similar, but a move to tighten up the border with One Sith would increase the tension and possibly spark the war anyway.

My opinion is that we consolidate some areas where we have these tentacles hanging out. I don't know how the cloud thing works, I don't know why Tython isn't One Sith territory, but if we take Surron, my brain says that we should be able to close up all of that territory between Denon and Attahos. That would let us have seven possible planetary systems for the price of one dominion.

Glee Anselm.

Because you can't spell awesome without N-A-U-T-O-L-A-N.

Plus, who doesn't love a tropical island, ocean resort planet?

And, if it isn't easy being green, then it's even less easy being green AND a planet next to One Sith territory.

Not to mention, where else in the whole galaxy can you get Ben & Jerry's SeaWorld Seaweed ice cream? I mean, there's real shrimp paste and krill swirled up in all that salty goodness.

Just think, right now, every second we delay bringing Glee Anselm into the Republic... a Sith Lady could be walking white sand beaches in a bikini.

So, in conclusion, only YOU can prevent Sith bikinis.

Vote today. Vote Glee Anselm.

 

[Sophia Walsh]

I am more than willing to help out with any Dominion.

When we are able to (I know we are not close enough right now) I would like to go for Chroma Zed. Sophia was Viceroy of this planet for the longest time when it was under the Conferacy now ACA. It has always been her goal to go home and save her people.

 

[Veino Garn]

*chills out on Susefvi on the outer rim in neutral space*

Veino can probably come in for a few, but I'll probably just send Kiyron because Veino has been sticking closer to home now that it's out in neutral space within reach of three major factions, only one of whom he trusts.

 

[Corvus Raaf]

Some great suggestions and - as Sera suggested/slapped my wrist over - once we get the current one closed we could and should look at potentially opening multiple one. But if we can't close this one down, we'll have limited chance of any new ones gaining traction.

So please - just a single post will make a big difference.

I have nonchalantly joined Cyrillia dom. Once i get some direction i promise my posts will be more of quality.

[member="Wovoka Vos"] Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuure they will Padawan Garon, I mean Vos...

How can some of us new to the GR help close it up?[member="Corvus Raaf"]

The simple answer is to post. Not war and peace but not a Twitter message either. Pick one of the objectives and write your own short story and pace it over a few posts.

For example a pilot could:

1. Be delivering supplies
2. Crash-land
3. Engage pirates
4. Engage smugglers
5. Help to train local pilots
6. Provide air cover
7. Track an escaped Sith/criminal
8. See something unusual from the air and to and take a look
9. Have a fight in a local bar
10. Meet the girl of his dreams

Well, you get the idea. In truth the Objectives are a suggestion and certainly the majority of writers should try to cover them, but if they don't work for you, improvise. Or adapt them. What if in Objective 1 one of the ringleaders is an old flame - the girl of your dreams?

Could we look at doing umbra due to half my company is there
Also is a pretty cool place would be interesting to rp on.
