Ad Hoc
Operation: Cinder is the codename for the orbital bombardment campaign devised to punish the Dark Empire and later: weaken the Galactic Alliance for the Empire's eventual restoration. This organization is a direct continuation of the Dark Imperial regime under
Darth Solipsis
and
Shannic Wulf
once known as the Dark Empire. The Dark Empire was an indirect successor state formed from the surviving New Sith Order and Brotherhood of the Maw in the wake of the Second Great Hyperspace War and the Imperial Remnant led by the late
Ignacious Korvan
of the Empire. The Dark Empire was openly ran by dark side users, known as the Dark Side Elite, who carried out the will of the Emperor in a manner similar to that of the Emperor's Hands. Among their number - Dark Jedi, fallen Imperial Knights, Dark Side Adepts, and more; gathered to bring glory to the Empire's name. In 900ABY the Dark Empire began the aggressive Operation: Shadowhand, striking deep into the Core Worlds against the Galactic Alliance - sparking the Core Wars. During this conflict, the Emperor would vanish during the Empire's attempted Invasion of Coruscant, leadership fell onto several parties ushering in a complete change of the Empire from within.The Grand Vizier
Shannic Wulf
, before continuing the campaign or assuming leadership over the traitorous elements, observed the crumbling state of the changing Empire from behind the scenes. Avoiding confrontation and collateral damage from feuding warlords from within Empire — the Grand Vizier did not stop the mutiny out of revenge, wanting to "cull the weak." She believed that if the Emperor was to disappear or perish unexpectedly then the Empire did not deserve to live beyond him. Likening it to the strategy game of Shah-tezh, in which the role of each game piece was to protect an Imperator. If the Imperator was to fall, then the surviving game pieces had failed and the game was over, as the others did not deserve to carry on. Immediately it was clear which pieces she would protect, and which ones she would allow to devour themselves. Shannic would fall under Alliance custody shortly after, willingly turning herself in.By 902 ABY, the Empire that the fractured warlords had molded to their design had fallen. Only the loyal elements of the Dark Empire remained, only the forces spared from the total destruction of the traitorous elements.
By 902 ABY,
The Messenger
began carrying out a Contingency plan that called for the annihilation of the Empire and its enemies. The Contingency also further called for the Empire's rebirth, allowing the loyal from among the Imperial survivors to regroup in the Unknown Regions where they would rebuild the Empire. It was also hoped this rebranded - Operation: Cinder - would spread fear and remind the galaxy that there was only one power which could provide lasting peace.ROLES TO PLAY
MILITARY | STORMTROOPER CORPS
"You are stormtroopers. You are the keenest weapon in the Emperor's arsenal. Do not fail him. Do not fail me."
- Alicia Beck
The tip of the spear and foremost offensive fighting force of the Empire. Absolutely legendary and iconic in its traditions and aesthetic. The Stormtrooper Corps is a group of highly trained soldiers who have proven their worth in battle against some of the most fearsome foes, taking part as the main component of victory in famed battles such as Harnaidan, Dubrillion, and the siege of Bastion.
The atmosphere is gritty yet enduring with a fixation on the human struggle through combat as they overcome for their comrades at their side, besting greater odds and variable threats to see the Empire eclipse all else.
MILITARY | SPECIAL FORCES
"It's the trooper you don't see that will get you."
- Cassian Andor
Where the others can not accomplish the task, the special forces groups of the Empire are dispatched to act as the cloak and dagger, the scalpel. Deployed on missions of utmost danger, secrecy and importance, the special forces groups of the Empire are some of the most lethal on the Galactic stage, taking the form of Storm Commandos, Nova Troopers, Death Troopers, and SCAR troopers to name a few, the varied and specialized elite fighting forces of the Empire are a multi-pronged will of reckoning to those who dare oppose the Empire be they clandestine or brazen in their defiance.
MILITARY | NAVY
'Service, Fealty, Fidelity'
- Motto of the Galactic Imperial Navy
The Imperial Navy has been a long-established force to be reckoned with. Well known and widely feared on the Galactic stage, the Imperial Navy is one of the more effective naval fighting forces in the Galaxy, employing a mesh of tactics and doctrines seen in both Imperial Remnants long past as well as utilizing the stratagems and mandates of their foes to harness the power of an ever-evolving armada that constantly seeks to adapt and remold itself as conflicts progress to isolate and exploit the weaknesses of their enemies.
The story of the Navy is not that of the instruments of destruction but of the very men and women who so preciously position the might of the Empire into its optimal stratagems and the perilous journey along the way.
MILITARY | STARFIGHTER CORPS
"My talent is for killing the Empire's enemy, and that is the mission you'll give my men."
- Soontir Fel
The Imperial TIE Pilot is one of the deadliest tools of destruction at the disposal of the Empire. Each and every one of them is some of the most talented and trained in their field, opting for sheer speed and neck snapping maneuverability over sluggishness or raw power. The starfighter corps is the oil to the gears, the scaffolding of the essential foundation work formed together to make up the Imperial Armed Forces. Explore squadron dynamics and inner focus as pilots fight for space and air superiority as well as offering air support to the soldiers on the ground.
FORCE USERS | DARK SIDE ELITE
"If you're smart, you'll join the Emperor as I have…and he'll make you as powerful as he has made me!"
- Sedriss QL
The Emperor has always admired the tenacity of the Imperial Knights, divorced from the struggles between Jedi and Sith, these warriors stood adamant against the tidal wave of threats who sought to bring chaos to the Empire and its denizens. While the Imperial Knights uphold principles of honor, duty, and loyalty, their successors within the Dark Side Elite have no such constraints. They are willing to employ any means necessary to achieve their objectives, including deception, manipulation, and even outright cruelty. Their allegiance to the Emperor, and to the Dark Side itself, grants them immense power, which they wield with ruthless efficiency.
Members of the Dark Side Elite undergo rigorous training in the dark side of the Force, honing their abilities in manipulation, combat, and the use of dark side techniques such as Sith alchemy and limited knowledge of dark side sorcery. Their training emphasizes embracing emotions such as anger, fear, and hatred to draw strength from the dark side. Unlike the Jedi or the Imperial Knights, who seek balance and harmony within the Force, the Dark Side Elite revel in their mastery of its darker aspects, and are empowered by the Emperor himself. They accept Dark Jedi, fallen Imperial Knights, and other force traditions into their ranks.
INTELLIGENCE & LAW ENFORCEMENT | IMPERIAL SECURITY BUREAU
"What we say is principle, what we decide is regulation, what we do is law."
- Drelfin
The Galaxy is one of lies and deceit; it's a galaxy filled with conflicting ambitions, and deliberate misinformation. In an age of galactic hegemons who vie for power and influence through soft power, and engage each other through hybrid warfare, it is up to the Imperial Security Bureau to snuff out these threats to our Empire. The ISB is tasked with being the primary apparatus of intelligence and subterfuge both internally and externally throughout the galaxy. Whether these objectives involve direct reconnaissance & surveillance, infiltration & sabotage, or the lethal targeting of security threats via the shadows, the ISB are at home within the Empire's ever-growing shadow.
The ISB is not only meant to deal with the Empire's enemies in the dark; secondarily but of equal importance, they ensure the laws of the Empire are adhered to by the populace of their assigned jurisdiction. Sedition is dealt with a firm hand, and those who seek to commit crimes against the Empire are prosecuted to the full extent of their authority. In short, the eyes of the Imperial Security Bureau are everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
It is through their actions that order is maintained, and security is achieved.
RELIGIOUS | CHURCH OF THE DARK SIDE
"Forgive me, sir, but these allies on Exegol, they sound like a cult. Conjurers and soothsayers."
- Domaric Quinn, to Kylo Ren
With Solipsis's ascent to power, the Sith ideology became central to the governance of the galaxy. The Church of the Dark Side emerged as a means to institutionalize and propagate the Sith teachings, portraying the dark side of the Force as the path to ultimate power and control. Central to the beliefs of the Church is the worship of Sith Lords, both dead or alive, and their creed. Followers are taught to embrace their passions, tap into their anger and fear, and harness the dark side for personal gain. Devotion to the Sith is considered paramount, with adherents seeking to emulate their dark masters in both thought and action. They are toil in text and ritual, devoting everything to the unholy gospel of their masters.
While the Church of the Dark Side shares some similarities with the Coalition for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR), it distinguishes itself through its emphasis on religious devotion and the mystical aspects of the Force. Unlike COMPNOR, which primarily relies on solely on propaganda and bureaucratic control to maintain Imperial rule, the Church leverages the spiritual allure of the dark side to inspire fervent loyalty among its followers in addition to these previous tactics.
POLITICAL | BUREAUCRATS & SPECIAL INTERESTS
"The Empire is not run by committee, Princess. If I find that the Moff Council needs to know the substance of your message, then I'll be the one who tells them."
