Narrator
Why?: Why not? The Galactic Alliance is not the Republic. Sure, built on the same premise (I think) but values and system of belief is completely different.
Waaaaait, what do you mean?: I mean what I mean. Nothing else to it. They choose to be more a middle ground Faction based off who they allow in, who is Allied with them, etc. This won't be the same thing. Nothing against them, just not what I'm going for.
But why a Republic?: I'm huge on Expanded Universe. I am huge on the concept, the stories and the depth behind the New Republic. I enjoyed everything about it. No, it doesn't mean we have to invade to steal the gem of the Galaxy - for a decent portion of it's initial existence, the New Republic was not on Coruscant. It wasn't until 6 years after it was founded that they liberated the Capital world from the clutches of the Imperial Remnant. We have other options.
So, you're remaking the NR from EU?: In structure only, much like other factions have done. I desire things to operate a bit differently, I also have had some feedback from people who are interested and decided it to put it out there for everyone to jump in or opt out. Nothing is definite yet.
Will there be NPC Leaders?: Probably not, although the original GA on the board and some other factions did make it easier and less painful in some ways by using NPCs, but I would prefer a tride and true character perspective controlled by another player. It wouldn't be the same for Administrators of the Faction to control any of them. Based off what I am seeing, there will be 3 Administrators, one will represent each portion of the Faction. A GrandMaster, a Chief of State, and a Supreme Commander.
Will I be allowed to Multi-Faction?: This one is tricky. I am not against MF, as it can create a plethora of enjoyable tales for everyone to read but I am also against it. I mean, at some point you will get caught playing both sides of the field - then what? And I mean this in a strictly In-Character basis. If you wanna hang out with CIS whilst writing for the Republic, sure do you.
Intent: To create stories for those who find values of one faction or another not to align with their character belief system. To be the driving force for Freedom! I dunno, some cool stuff like that ya know?
Where would we go with the Core being taken by the Galactic Alliance?: There are many options that would allow us to flourish without the threat of other Factions - also you gotta remember, the Codex is a thing. We can just make our homeworld. Coruscant is only cool cause the movies, books, TV. We can be different.
Tl;dr - Looking for writers and interested folk to join this, bounce ideas off each other and have a good old time. If we lose Invasions, it's cool. If we win, cool. I want anyone who joins to have a place and those we collaborate with to be excited to engage us in story, be it invasion or whatever. I enjoy the Republic, the concept, ideals and the potential stories behind it. Isn't that what we are here for?
Also, can we please stay on topic of interest, follow up questions and such? If you have any gripes or anything that doesn't pertain to this - MSG me and we'll talk about it.
Also I considered something like the Galactic Federation Triumvirate but it seemed that was more the path of the current GA and NIO. Not for what I was intending/hoping/whatever.

It is so easy to be bad (Looking at you Sith) but it is so much harder to be good.
I am happy to answer any questions, or anything via Discord Message, PM or on the forum.
