New Locations!

[Valae Heavenshield]

Alright, now that we've moved to Kashyyyk, it's time to start making it our new home. I have a couple ideas of my own, I'd love to hear your ideas as well. But I do need a little help!

Item 1:
This will likely be our new Temple/Campus:

Things I need help with:
- Name? Do people still want to call it the Silver Temple? Or move onto something new?

- There will be temple complex, gardens, ranger HQ (subbed separately), archives, healing center... anything else you'd like to see incorporated?

Item 2:
I'll be making a small village that will be shared between SJO and the wookies. Think rustic tree village. If you don't want to live on the campus, you can have a place here!

- Name ideas?
- Points of interest?

Let me know if you have ideas for the above items. And if you have any ideas for locations on Kashyyyk or other words nearby, let us know!

Also, big shout out to [member="Andorreth Vikar"] for helping come up with ideas for a new Silver Shadow location!

anything else you'd like to see incorporated?

Dormitory and a hanger bay. Otherwise, awesome.

Your welcome In case unclear location is lower shadowlands think this first quote https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VokIQScZdfc I dunno what's needed for say a force nexus but figured I'd write it as that location has a sort of nameless Force spirit that might occasionally make smartass remarks or offer advice. Gives it character y'know? As is there's a beacon I tossed intot he stairwell to help other jedi find it [member="Valae Kitra"] [member="Jessica Matthews"]

I'm not sure what exact feeling we're trying to go with for the faction, but since it's our capital, it might not hurt to build some sort of defenses to go with it.

That could be anything really basic like hiding places for civilians and trenches for our troops, to really complex fortifications with overlapping fields of fire. But again, that's probably something that should be informed by what direction we're trying to take the faction.

I like the idea of trenches, classic. Plus hiding places for civilians would be vital for emergencies. Some safe zones or something.

Barracks will definitely be needed.

Possibly an area connected to the barracks for an armory as well.

I think our allotted settlement is actually pretty small. I don't know if the Wookiees even like us yet.

Given the sanctity of the planet and nature as is? Why not keep all our super modern constructions out beyond High Orbit. Moving forward I really think the best way to create a military presence on Kashyyyk is to map out all Legrange Points of the system for Space Stations.

​​Actually. Nevermind. If I start getting wrapped up in local Wookiees politics and designing a whole new System Fleet Defense and Interdiction Network this early in the game, I'm doomed.

You military guys just do whatever.

don't know about others but Sasori has worked with the wookiee's since Ben, Darron, Selena, Iella, Syn, Matsu, Jaxton, Sky, Kei, Karen and several others cleared out the sith from the partially constructed jedi temple in the dominion in ohhhh before dark harvest and a number fo threads that followed. Willa and Rohn with some soldiers teamed up to build a base in the shadowlands and so much fun mapping it or going after things.

no to have some fun, I have a padawan who need schooling with marshmellow automatic weapons

Hey so just to prevent the Sith, Manods, Imps, whoever from attacking us head on or sneaking I propose we go for something more defensible. I say we just use Predjama Castle, this thing would be near impossible to attack head on or from the air. With the simple use of a shield generator an the inside of the mountain it'd be very hard to breach. Also with only one approach large enough for any decent sized force the enemy can only attack along the main path. Orbital or air attacks can be warded off by three or four shield generators. We can of course have a small tunnel leading away as a secret exit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predjama_Castle

 

[WelshPsych]

I think the dense forest is a protective enough area [member="Sko'saht"]

On locations, somewhere to eat? And chambers. Also an enclave for a Wookiee embassy so that any issues they have can be heard and we offer them transparentise going forward.

Names are always hard. Possibly go with the domain name? I found that sounds better?

If we're making use of the Nomad mandate, I'd propose using the modular construction subs from Sasori. If that's the theme we're going with, then it wouldn't seem to make a lot of sense to have a lot of permanent infrastructure. We should be poised to pick up and move if and when we need to.

But, I think we'd also benefit from a clear theme for the faction going forward for the same reason. Are we nomads? Or are we establishing a permanent presence here? The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive, but they are at least prima facie in opposition to one another thematically.

[member="Valae Kitra"] I'm glad we're continuing with the eco friendly aesthetic from Voss. <3

What I'd like to see added to points of interest:

• Workshops
• Distillery/Brewery (Space Monks should have one.)
• Commissary
• Observatory
• Underground Shelters

The SJO helped Kashyyyk overhaul its orbital defense grid recently during our dom there, the rebuilt skyhook was made into a customs house, and it was the site of a major naval hub for the SJO and friends (being at the intersection of several major hyperlanes) prior to the cloudbreak. All those upgrades should still be intact, so the planet is pretty well defended in that respect. I just need to formally submit the upgrades to the codex. If any of you have other features to add, then your input would be greatly appreciated.

Our relations the local government are pretty good at this point in time as we helped them with the above items and some other issues on the surface, like a Dark Side nexus created during the Mandalorian Crusades.

The defenses of the campus should be fairly strong as temple complexes are normally the focus of attack by our enemies. We probably won't have to go too crazy with the air defenses as we can mostly rely on the orbital defense grid and home fleet. A dedicated theater shield and some AA emplacements should suffice. I'm working on the Ranger Base/HQ portion, which will mostly be hidden away as a subterranean complex.

Edit: Posted my message almost soon as Kiriko did!

[member="Kiriko"] Honestly, I hope we don't have to move again, and we only did it this time because of extenuating circusmtances.

 

[Stephanie Swail]

This thread makes me happy. Seeing the passion, creativity and collaboration is what keeps the SJO burning bright and attracting new members constantly.

Keep it up guys! Love the ideas.

Seconded. Nomad theme has 'uge potential.

All those upgrades should still be intact, so the planet is pretty well defended in that respect.

Sexiest thing I've read all day. But then, I've always been a believer that naval power is the only power. Love all of it.
