Fandom Star Wars - High Republic Era (ish): Operation Life Raft (Full)

"Never give up hope, no matter how dark things seem."


This RP takes place sometime during the High Republic Era, based on the upcoming timeline that's having a big publishing campaign next year. While this era starts 200 years before The Phantom Menace, this story will take place over 100 years after the fact. Because there's limited information in this point in canon Star Wars history, I've decided to take some liberties.

Shimun reasoned she'll never get accustomed to the planet's air. With her environmental suit damaged from the crash, she--like the rest of the surviving crew-- had to endure its rough atmosphere without a respirator. Her human counterparts acquainted it to wildfire smoke in a tropical climate, where breathing was twice as hard than usual. And though every breath felt like a flame stoking in her lungs, the medic ensured the team that the air was toxin free. Up above shined a single star. Its azure mass took up most of the sky, at times making it difficult to tell what time of the day it was, as it seemed to shove the planet's lunar body out of sight. The devorian led her team through the iridescent forest, concentrating on the shapes and geography before her. She drowned out the sound of the crew's labored breathing with the mantras of her trade, calming mind and body, but it did little to comfort her. For the first time in a long time, her faith in the Force had wavered; Shimun didn't know if its power had the same influence out here--wherever here was--as it did in the galaxy she was familiar with.

'Trust in the force,' She said to herself, over and over again, until the force eventually responded in kind.

"Look!" Her navigator said, pointing off to the side. Having reached an opening through the foliage, Shimun turned her head to peer out into the open valley. Amidst the shimmering plant life stood a large structure in the distance.

"What is that?" Her Chief of Security asked, slapping his helmet to clear its glitching HUD to capture a better view.

"Whatever it is, it's made by someone or something. Meaning we've found civilization!" The navigator said with a sigh of relief. The rest of the team cheered with elation, but Shimun could not deny the feeling in her gut, nor how the Force responded to its presence. But after days of traveling on foot after having crashed on this planet, it was still a welcomed sight to behold. We're not alone. Shimun thanked the stars. She clicked on the recorder attached to her wrist pad, the first of two com links that found its way to the nearest satellite relay.
-- Approximately 64 hrs post crash site. Seven survivors strong. Less than half of our rations left. We've trekked 48 kilometres north and finally discovered signs of civilization on this planet. Heading to its destination now. Will attempt to establish outside short burst communication with the Galactic Republic once we get there. If anyone reads this, please forward this SOS immediately to the Galactic Republic's Starlight Beacon. May the Force be with us. Over and out. ---

101 BBY. One hundred years after Chancellor Lina Soh's campaign to spread the Galactic Republic's influence into the Outer Rim, a special Rescue & Exploration Team is sent into the far reaches of space. Under the command of current Chancellor Utrili, their mission is to find the lost pioneers that spearheaded Soh's outreach programs; many of whom were stranded after The Great Disaster plucked them out of hyperspace indefinitely. This team is picking up where their predecessors left off under a new campaign called: Operation Life Raft.

Our group of 4-5 literate, active and friendly RPers signed onto Operation Life Raft as rescuers and explorers. We'll be traveling to unclaimed systems and offering our help wherever needed, with the overarching plot's focus on discovering the whereabouts of Jedi Consular Shimun, and the survivors of her exploration team, as well as other exploration teams that haven't returned. Jedi, Diplomats, Republic Troopers, Pilots, and Science Specialists are some of the available classes. Contracted smuggler-types are allowed, but only because they have some experience navigating through the outer areas we'll be exploring. As far as Sith and other bad guys go, well, we'll just have to play and find out :)

Any classes not mentioned that you'd like to play as, please PM me to discuss further. Standard site rules apply.

Okay, I've received some interest through PM so I went ahead and made some pages!




More info will be added in the next coming days.
 
You are definitely welcome to join and no worries! It’s a timeline that hasn’t been explored, so we’ll have plenty to room to be creative.
 
You are definitely welcome to apply! Hit the links to get more lore and character sheet info. Everyone that would like to apply, please put your sheets in the OOC for approval!
 
So far we've got a pilot that'll be flying a frigate used to transport us between planets and what not. Hmm... but we can use a starfighter pilot!
 
Good to know. Before I go with that, are there any niches you'd like to see covered that aren't already by the PCs and NPCs?
 
A mandalorian themselves will definitely cover a niche on their own. The group was just discussing how they fit in the context of this RP. I didn't put this in the lore, but Mandalore in this RP was neutral throughout the Separatist War. They just recently established a pacifist's government (called New Mandalorian) ten years before it started. With the Galactic Republic the victors, New Mandalorian sent out emissaries to broker peace with them--which can be part of your character's back story as to why they joined Operation Life Raft. If you had another backstory in mind, feel free to PM me so we can discuss it further!
 
Hey there! Currently pending at our max, but willing to add one more for another Republic Trooper type. What kind of character did you have in mind?
 
ThePowerCosmic ThePowerCosmic Oh, I didn't have anything in mind before reading through the profiles. A Republic Trooper is fine by me- I'm thinking I'll make them a tech specialist since the soldier character you already have is pretty standard.
 
And likewise. A good character is worth building well, since they'll be with you a long time if the RP goes well. :)

Appreciate the feedback, and the extra bit of lore. I started to write a pilot, then an engineer and I ended up going another direction entirely. I hope her role and history pass muster!
