Faction Interest Check: The Forerunners

[Jend-Ro Quill]

Banned species list removed. Hypergates moved from Banned Items to Restricted Items. Gree Technology moved from Banned Items to Restricted Items. Rakata Technology moved from Banned Items to Restricted Items.

In 868-870 ABY, after tens of thousands of years, stasis cocoons began to open in forgotten corners of the galaxy.

Those who emerged — hundreds of Rakata, Kwa, Gree, Killiks, Taungs, Columi, and Sharu, among other diminished or extinct heritages — found their homeworlds overrun by a species that called itself human.

Despite ancient enmities, an alliance began to take form. The name on the wind: the Forerunners.


ARCHETYPES

• HERALD: You seek out allies for the Forerunners, connect with their modern descendants, and revitalize — even reactivate — the past. Perhaps you are a hypergate mechanic or a Rakata-tech inventor; perhaps you are a diplomat seeking to give far-flung diasporas a home and a future.
• RECLAIMER: Your role is to retake influence or outright control over Forerunner homelands and homeworlds — by co-opting the local underworld, by assassination, by purchase and peaceful settlement, by conquest and mass eviction if absolutely necessary.
• AWAKENER: The lands and worlds that the Forerunners reclaim need to be healed, re-wilded, decontaminated, and rebuilt to reach or surpass ancient gories.

NOTES ON PLAYABLE SPECIES

• Many pre-Republic species were placed in these stasis cocoons tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of years ago.
• Many currently extant species (Columi, Duros, etc.) had an interstellar presence before the Republic, and are respected as such. If you are a Forerunner from one of these species, you may actually have living descendants. If you are a modern individual from one of these species, the Forerunners may be your literal ancestors.
• The Forerunners employ and engage with many modern people from many alien species. Heralds, Reclaimers, and Awakeners may be actual Forerunners or modern recruits and specialists. Areas of Forerunner influence and control tend to be extraordinarily diverse. You might openly work for the Forerunners; you might also be an undercover agent who's already been working for the Forerunners.
• It is vanishingly rare for the Forerunners to employ humans, especially in any position of actual influence. Humans and their variants have had their day.

Oh this sounds fun...

 

[Junko Ike]

Forerunner and reclaimers

this does seem like it could be a fun one to see.

But when I was saying it, they called me a humanitarian.

 

[Nerd Wizard]

Never been beaned over the head by a Rakata before... Might be cool.

[Aeshi Tillian]

Dang it man, too many great ideas

 

[Shath Kharole]

Testing, testing.

 

[Corvus Spire]

I can see how this tie into a plot I am planning. I look forward to seeing what you achieve (or lack thereof).

Public - Anomaly on Mimban

MIMBAN— "Once a jungle, now largely mud. In my day this world was a paradise." Vines and ground cover surged out from the mouth of an ancient Thrella well. Skeins of half-corporeal weave dragged them and gave them structure for their accelerated growth. Fresh life churned up the mud for...

Rakata tech gon' get stolen

Rakata tech gon' get stolen

Uh yes absolutely. Feel one million percent free to hijack random pre-Republic tech from NPCs associated with this.

Or PCs.

Do it.
