NFU Ranks Suggestion

[Darth Imperatus]

So, it's pretty obvious that we are a faction of Sith. Sith is in our name, most of our members are Sith, and, unfortunately, we cater almost exclusively to Sith characters. I think that ought to change, and that being more inclusive to NFUs will help our faction to grow and change for the better. So, here are my suggestions in order to achieve that:

RANK 1: GOVERNOR

Governs a single planet. Has direct control over the planetary army, though the stormtrooper garrison and any military space stations are under the direct control of Naval Command.

RANK 2: MOFF

Controls an individual sub-sector (roughly one map hex). Together they form the various Moff councils of each sector.

RANK 3: GRAND MOFF

Right-hand of each Voice, leader of his or her respective Moff council. Reports directly to the voice and handles the micro-management. This position, along with the Moff council, will only be created if our Empire expands to such an extent that the various sectors come into play.

I propose that all of these positions be reserved for NFUs only. The Sith, meanwhile, will keep mostly to their own order, acting either as part of the military or just sorta doing their own thing, but leaving the dirty work to the NFUs. Of course, not every planet, sub-sector and sector needs to be governed by a PC, and the idea will be that the PC NFUs must climb the ladder by usurping their NPC predecessors. To make these positions more interesting, I propose that like the real Empire, we grant the various planets relative autonomy, free to keep (to some extent) their own laws and customs so long as they don't cause any trouble.

I like where this is going. It's obvious that we need a clear path for NFU's in this faction. I would only suggest a few minor things.

There is no reason for Moffs or Grand Moffs to report to the Voices. They should report directly to the Emperor himself. As I suggested in a past thread, planetary governors and Sith should be mostly separate entities, each responsible for their own thing. They are separate branches of the Empire. The Voices who control galactic sectors are more concerned with the galaxy at large. They are operating on planets that the One Sith don't control, often with elements of subterfuge. The Moffs, on the other hand, are the planetary governors of territories directly under OS control. They are concerned with the day-to-day goings-on in their respective planets, which includes government policies, infrastructure, military activity, etc.

I like it.

I think grand moffs should report to voices, but yep I like other than that

why? that effectively means that even the highest rank NFUs can achieve in the One Sith hierarchy is still inferior to those available to the Sith.
That's the opposite of inclusive and discourages those who have high ambitions. Also, it hurts the diversity of the faction, and why would we want that?

Exactly.

The voices are his main contact to outside, this our canon.
So nfu should follow the same lines, as sith ic wise are always consider nfu as a lesser beings to a force user. So having a nfu see the dark lord, whilst sith lords can not is wrong on an ic level.

There's a flaw in your logic; you assume that every faction ever founded with "Sith" in their name follows the same rules and traditions. Orders / factions / concepts evolve, or they die. The "real" Sith were a pureblood race native to Korriban, and look at what the Sith are now.

Considering this faction doesn't have a big issue using Vong (who are like the most extreme incarnation of a NFU ever) as their troops, I don't see why they'd suddenly start getting prissy.

Our canon says all fu are equal from knight level, though some are more equal than others. This is reason e
enough to say they should answer to a voice before the emporer. As for the vong, yes one of them answers to emperor in exchange they are great canon fodder.

[member="sabrina"]

so are the regular troops?
canon evolves. xD idk, I really don't see why it's such a problem. If the Voices and/or other Sith are so dumb as to insist that "no, the commanders of 80% of our army don't get to talk to our big bad boss simply b/c ancient scripture or whatnot says so". well, then we deserve to die at the hands of rebellious NFUs, methinks.

This did happen with the original one sith.

I saying they should answer to the voices, like every other sith. Yes like every other sith they might meet the emperor at some point, but it would not be on regular basis unless they are a voice.

I think you're missing the whole point of this thread.
the Voices are top-tier of the Sith branch in the empire. What this thread aims to do is create a top-tier rank/position for NFUs, who currently don't have one. Top-tier meaning they are tied in regards to "privileges" or whatnot of the Voices, otherwise there's no point changing the old NFU ranks, if all you're going to do is switch a couple of names.

I saying they should answer to the voices, like every other sith.

this thread is rooted in the fact that NFUs are not Sith, per se. They are members of the Empire, but they are not Sith.

 

[sabrina]

I am not missing the point, I am disagreeing with you.

If I'm right I remember reading that the Emperor contacts the Voices through telepathy which if that is the case I would understand the Grand Moffs reporting to the Voices for orders from the Emperor.

However if I am wrong about the above point then the Grand Moffs deserve the same rights as a Voice though it should take just as much work to become a Grand Moff as it does for a Sith to become a Voice. What [member="Ludolf Vaas"] suggested was almost flawless. The only part I think should be changed is that the regular Moffs either should report to the Grand Moff or a Voice as them being lower then the two. To me Moffs would be on par with the Sith Lords and if Sith Lords can't meet the emperor the Moffs have the same limitations. Just as the Grand Moff has the same limitations as a Voice.

So in short

Governor - ???
Moff -Sith Lord
Grand Moff -Voice

or

Govenor - Sith Lord
Moff - Hand of Emperor
Grand Moff - Voice

I am not trying to make Fu's above NFU's or the other way around. I just want them to have similar limitations and benefits.

Just curious if there is any type of maintenance of a Stormtrooper Corp in this idea, if there isn't already one. Would there still be an Enlisted and NCO rank for those who maybe enjoy being the grunt, or would that be for NPCs and backstory? To be honest, I can see these being taken out since there is very little use for them in the larger frame of things.

tl;dr would this be adding to the current ranks or replacing them?

We have separate Army ranks. Moff's aren't really military.

I don't care one way or the other on this topic really except for this. NO Sith should ever feel or lessen themselves to be equal with another Sith. Equality is a fundamental foundation of the Jedi where the fundamental foundation of the Sith is individualism. My Sith character does not and will not ever consider herself to be equal with another Sith.

Changed my mind:


So in short

Governor - ???

Moff -Sith Lord
Grand Moff -Voice

or

Govenor - Sith Lord
Moff - Hand of Emperor
Grand Moff - Voice


No NFU should ever hold any of those titles....never! But what do I know.

 

[sabrina]

[member="Xhexania"] equality amongst sith is our canon

 

[Vrag]

[member="Xhexania"]

I think "equality" in this context was meant more as the amount of influence/respect among their peers and in regards to troops.

*shrugs* could be wrong tho
