I've been doing a lot of thinking regarding this and if there is going to be alot of participation, then the roleplay must reflect that.
Therefore, tentative title for this epic is
Legacies (I liked your choices people).
My brainstorm ideas for revision is this:
Overall theme: BDE War against the Galaxy. Given BDE's lack of participants for what amounts to a major role, a bunch of us will have to create BDE characters (for the purpose of this rp only... unless you want a BDE character for life). The same for Cree Ar members as, given their role in the rp, we can't let Ahnk have all the work..er.. fun!
The rp will consist of three main parts (remember all this is tentative):
Part One: Legacies
Alpha ex Omega: The Beginning of the End
I Funeral for Gash Jiren
Seeing that Kas has finished Geneologies and that Gash Jiren is dead, the galaxy grinds to a halt and a massive funeral for the dude is held on Ossus, near Tion Cluster.
This is the rp where people establish their characters in the present to show how much or how little they will have changed in the coming sections.
Basically everyone attends or is observing the funeral in some form or fashion.
Cree Ar Dominion is working behind the scenes with their limited contact with BDE to generate hostility within their machine hive mind for what is termed "flesh".
Simon Kaine embarks on his Project Insidion.
BDE illicits the services of the Union to launch a long term plan to bring about a coming chaos.
(Insert any general subplot that you want to carry, ideas welcome here).
Part Two: Legacies
Deus Ex Machina: Rise of the Machines
II. BDE Civil War.
The Black Dragon Empire comprises of both the Daemun (sp) residing within the Tion and their human servants outside the Tion that maintain their more conventional empire.
This is where our BDE characters histories and lives are fleshed out amid the the war between flesh and machine.
This civil war is motivated by the Cree Ar.
III. Galactic Chaos
Union begins a series of terrorist actions strategically designed to pit government against government and the powerful factions of the galaxy are on the brink of all out war.
Almost like a chain reaction event where some in each government want war and others try to avoid it.
The Cree Ar prepare to have the galaxy handed to them on a plate when the BDE Daemun's emerge victorious and engage in a machine manifest destiny.
Given the SW universe relies on droid and autonoma of all sorts, a subtle infiltration begins in the major powers.
Kaine is captured and put on trial by GC..
First strikes as the plunge into galactic conflict begins..
Part Three: Legacies
Apocalyptic Visions: End of Days
IV: The Machine War
Daemun machina attacks Cree Ar.
Daemun machina aggressively attacks galaxy governments.
Autonoma all over the galaxy rebels against flesh
V: Paradise of Blood
Daemun machina calculates victory
Cree Ar remaining warships transit to real space/time to engage the machines
Remaining Galactic Forces detail counter attack while plotting against each other at the same time.
Sith seek parlay with Machine Empire to capitalize on their power
Daemun and machina overmind begin to split... new subfaction Dracconis surface.
Kaine's clone armies are launched. (Clone Vondiranach goes to liberate Tholatin)
VI: Blood, Guts, Iron and Steel
Final battles and the Fall of Simon Kaine (either from betrayal or from battle, etc..)
(some details are running over my mind but...)
Anyway, this is very different from the first outline but I wanted to try a different take on the plot to see if this works better.
