New Orders

Emperor Shadow

The Inquisitors (whether we like it or not), Armed Forces and Royal Guard tend to draw on the more combat-interested Sith.

This leaves the Church for more Force-invested users, some of whom have been expressing desire for more variety in their Orders.

I see no reason why not. We phased out the Alchemists but now we could stand room for one more "noble" Order.

Ideas?

Some ideas from an Imperial Government website:

Emperor Shadow

What about some kind of organization devoted to exploration and colonization?

That was on the list, actually.

Only problem would be that the Military is already exploring and patrolling the galaxy. Not all of it, but by 84 ABY, we have civilized/colonized much of the galaxy. Either us or the Chiss.

Well a simple retcon can fix that.

The Military may be patrolling, but exploring isn't an exact Naval function.

Star Trek Naval Ships were based on defense and exploration... Prime Directive 1... Not to interfere with other planets/species... But to explore the unknown territories...

Well, the Sith Navy crushes... it doesn't observe. Very Happy

Sounds good to me... Twisted Evil

But where would they get the ships from? Designate a fleet?

Sorry for the double-post but I've been talking with Aequitas on AIM and his internet is down [using his phone to chat] so he asked me to post his idea.

Emperor Shadow

They were going to get shipyards in order to better facilitate it.

We have one of those.

Why not have them run through the Military ships?

We already have a fleet we could give them. Instead of removing an entire resource from the Military, we can use all the shipyards to augment the Exploration Fleet, as well as having all the shipyards in times of emergency...

Because then it wouldn't be a separate Order.

Darth Suspiria

This is just a thought. The Supreme Commander listed a whole group of things, and then Aequitas suggested a LOTR style lorekeeper, etc. What about an order say Order for the Investigation of Unusual Phenomenom with a sub directive to explore. They then could have like in Star Trek Science vessels dedicated to their studies.

They could study the galaxy's lore, go see if there is any basis to the myth's and legends, explore where they go to, and then collect what would be useful to the Empire. Kind of LOTR meets Star Trek meets Star Wars meets the X-files. Some cool rp's could come from it to. Someone finding something could find a weapon, a powerful ancient artifact, bring back the plague, etc and so on. Meet a Borg-like species. Lots of endless possibilities.

Suspiria: I like that idea.

Emperor: The only reason I don't think getting their own shipyards is good is because the Orders are supposed to be separate AND different. Inquisitors, Guards, and Church don't have shipyards, nor do they share many functions/resources. That would kind of defeat the idea of a separate and different Order, a New Order...

EDIT: Perhaps a new class of ship could be created? Specifically for such a purpose?

To comment on Darth Suspirias idea: I love it!

And I could present Onderon as the head for a base or ship creation for the "scouts".

Marix, the Military isn't the only means of ship production. Private corporations still make them.

Suspiria, it would be interesting, but how is that different from the Church/Alchemists?

Perhaps the inquisitors also handle investigations of sorts?

The Alchemists primarily create and search for things that could be used for weapons don't they?The Church some of that also, but mostly prophesy is their priority. This would be more encompassing. They explore strange phenomenon, also myths, legends that are recorded but haven't been answered as of yet. Go to unexplored planets looking for new plant life, fauna, minerals. Their directive is to EXPLORE, COLONIZE, DISCOVER AND CLAIM FOR THE EMPIRE. It would be kind of a wide imperative but they could have science and research vessels to aid them and a rank system. Science officer, junior researcher, senior researcher, etc.

What about something like a recruitment order? We need some new blood on this site, and the one or two members we get every once and a while usually don't last long or don't even post at all. There are exceptions I know but I think that recruitment would be a good thing for this Empire.

That is a good idea High Protector Adenn.

That is what the IDC could be developed into. Suspiria - in the Church requirements state that all Prophets must submit 3 prophecies or 1 experiment per week. All must submit one experiment per month. So, your experiments could be what you mentioned above.

Hmmm....

I suppose that's a good idea, Emperor, but how does that help Force-invested users.

You could physically branch the Military into two seperate orders - Army and Navy.

He could, but he wanted a more force-oriantated order.
