In my opinion, if Necros is doing his own thing away from Lupercus and Vance (who is at this point an NPC till he returns), then i would not have him building his powerbase on Corellia. Why? Because that is where Lupercus' political base is located. Trying to build an army without Lupercus knowing would be difficult to say the least. Necros would have an easier time of doing it on Xa Fel. However, Vance Jas as the budding Sith Grandmaster would know... So..

I would think, if Necros is trying to do his own thing, he should sway one of the Moff's on an outer planet of the Empire, away from the hustle of Imperial Power and Sith oversight. He might sway the Moff to his way of thinking so that the Moff bankrolls Necros' building an army. Obviously the Moff thinks he can control Necros and Necros is merely using the Moff.

He goes to some unknown planet... just because?

Perhaps this planet is near the borderland protectorate or somewhere. He sees Damalis at a starport or merchant hall or something and "goes weak in the knees or just wants to bed her.. or whatever..". What would Damalis be doing there? Securing a new source of dies or fabrics or whatever for her store on the Astoria.

Necros tries to have his way and she refuses his charms (such as they are) and he goes apeshit and stuff, enter Irtar and a Jedi base that happens to be on the same planet.


Part II:

Darth Necros, seeking retribution against Damalis and Irtar, leads his 'Army of Darkness' built on outer TNO world, to the world where the confrontation took place at. Although the two are at the Jedi base right now, Necros leads an invasion of the planet and brutually subjugates it, killing most of the populace, and capturing intact the remainder to serve as slave labourers. In the meantime, Damalis leads the Jedi from the base to Necros for a taste of his medicine. They eventually arrive back at the planet to see it deserted, except for the corpses of the populace and the ruination of the planet.

Then he obviously is not out to subject the planet. And he takes the "slaves" with him? where? With what? How many? Slave revolt on his starship anyone?

The Galatic Coalition, appalled at what has happened, points fingers at TNO. Simon Kaine responds by dispatching his vaunted Jedi Corps to take care of the threat of the Sith. This concludes Part II.

The Galactic Coalition is always pointing fingers at TNO. This would not move TNO to act. If TNO interests were in jeopardy however, TNO would be there yesterday.

The Jedi Corps is not mean't to be a direct contest for the Sith. If one on one, the Sith will win everytime. The Corps strength is in their numbers and they would typically already on the planet that Necros is on.. just keeping tabs..if it's a part of the Empire. They do not directy interfere with the Sith but merely observe them. There may be rare instances of Corps taking down Sith but that is one sith and many Corps and probably because the Sith was getting out of hand disrupting the population. The of the Corps like the gestapo... They aren't the military.

Kaine would first order the Moff to handle the problem in their own backyard. If the Moff cannot Kaine would order the military (Dark Troopers or whatnot) to handle the Sith problem, if not Vance or Lup to take care of their own.

Again, unless this was the Sith Order's (as a whole) rebellion against the New Order, then Necro's acts would have consequences on all Sith Empire-wide.. and then I could see him building a powerbase under Lupercus protection on Corellia.

But if this is just Necros being Necros, build his forces on the outer portion of Empire.. hidden..


Part III:

1. The Jedi Corps would lose which is why Kaine would not hurl them against the Sith. Now, I can see Necro's troops perhaps defeating the first force that Kaine sends. That would anger him as well.

But he would not call on the Coalition to solve the Empire's problem. Especially not to Corellia. If TNO is loosing it's hold on one of it's Sith, they will take care of it in their way and as quietly as they could.. perhaps sending Necros and company to the nearest concentration/murder camp.

And Kaine, realizing the mistake he made in using the Sith for TNO purposes would probably begin a program to systematically murder the Sith in the Empire in their sleep to cull their numbers into something more controllable.

to be honest, I can't really see a full blown Sith still being able to obsess over someone in a 'I must have them way' like I think is being suggested. I mean, they don't care, if they see someone they want, no matter how pretty, they just consume them with no thought or care...

Now, I could see a Sith seeing Damalis as a challenge in the sense that she is 100% a good person. Becoming obsessed with turning her to the dark side would probably work best...

Yeah, but Kraken has a penis. And he hasn't RPed putting it in anything for quite a while.

Dear Gods.

The Dark Realm of SRP!

and Ahnk reminds me of something I wanted to say, considering some of the other RP's Kraken has done...

no offense, but if you get graphic with me, you'll piss me off :b if I wanted to get into the graphic stuff, I'd hunt up that kind of site...

Damalis, character wise, is not being molested o_O and if that's the way you see the story going, you should probably hunt up someone else to toy with

:D

LOL...

oh man...

Isn't it wonderful when that has to be stated before starting a thread?

"Umm yeah, btw, no molesting my character."

No, no molestation. The worst I intended to do was to steal a kiss before the final execution, which Irtar comes in to save at the point.

And I wasn't planning to do a head over heels approach either. Her beauty is what catches his eye for a moment, but after a gentle mind probe, he discovers she has great potential to aide his army and his organization, after she is turned of course. When she rejects him, it's like, if you won't be turned, you will be destroyed *blasts with force lightning*.

Bear in mind that the first post was a rough draft and there were and are many points that need to be re-evaluated and hammered out.

*wicked grin* I wonder how it would affect her eventual ascension to Regent if I swayed Bhindi Drayson to serve as my puppet?

But no, I imagine I would sway the moff of Oversector Outer, working with the hutts and such will probably be the easiest and most subtle way of amassing an army. That, and the slaves I would take would be shipped to Ylesia to work on the spice there in return for the hutts help in amassing my army.

The main battle would take place at Ylesia when Necros sets a trap for the Coalition. The GC and Jedi come to the rescue of the slaves, and is instead ambushed by the Army of Darkness, seeking their destruction. Massive battle erupts, etc. etc. About this time Simon Kaine learns of the Moff's deception, and leads a taskforce to apprehend him. In the process he discovers what is going on, drives off the GC, and wonders, WTF just happened?

I thought Darth Necros was some newbie.

edit: Bhindi, Regent? Isn't the Empire traditionally very, very sexist, not to mention speciesist?

Right now we are just speciesist.... but there are some pretty strong women in the Empire now... Bhindi, Isard, Arliss... and a few female Admirals.. but they are few... and it doesn't change Zell's view of women which is decidedly more traditional..
