Republic Declares War On Crimson Fang Bombers
The Galactic Republic symbol appears on the screen and begins to rotate as the galactic anthem plays in the background. The Image shifts to Chancellor Carrick d'Ashar in his office, Vice Chancellor Ido- Oron Ibadiban, Senator Aurel Rusa and Senator Cort Luxia flanking him on either side. The Chancellor's face looking almost saddened, he begins, "People of the Republic. With the growing attacks against the Republic by the menacing criminal organization Crimson Fang, action must be taken to swiftly liberate the fears the Republic people have in this dangerous time. The Fang have enacted multiple attacks against the citizens of the Republic and the Republic's own personnel. With these circumstances the Senate has called for an emergency vote on how to proceed. Multiple attempts at a diplomatic medium have been attempted with this organization and have simply lead to more attacks on the people of the Republic." He takes a deep breath as he continues, "So it is with a heavy heart that I must inform the people of the galaxy that the Republic has declared of state of emergency and war declaration against Crimson Fang. This was not something we took lightly to deciding, but the peace and prosperity of the people of the Republic is a priority and the Republic will do what must be done to ensure their safety." The anthem begins playing and it shifts to the image of the Galactic Republic symbol. After a brief moment, the image vanishes as the broadcast ends.
Republic Warns of Threats, Bombings Continue
The Galactic Republic symbol appears on the screen and begins to rotate as the galactic anthem plays in the background. The Image shifts to Chancellor Carrick d'Ashar in his office, The ithorian Vice Chancellor Ido- Oron Ibadiban standing off to his side. "People of the galaxy. We've received threats from a criminal organization by the name of Crimson Fang against the citizens and ports of the Republic." A somber expression passes his face as he continues, "The Republic will not give in to the threats of a criminal organization and will meet them in full force. The people of Dac and Ithor are urged to be cautious in the streets as these murderers may attempt serious harm against the people. The Republic is actively working to locate and apprehend the suspects to ensure the peace and prosperity of it's people. The Republic stands strong and will not shrink from a threat and will ensure the safety of its own." He stands as the anthem begins playing and it shifts to the image of the Galactic Republic symbol. After a brief moment, the image vanishes as the broadcast ends. The screen is filled with images of various small shops, damage from explosions and fire quite evident. A female voice begins speaking in basic as the images change showing the damage. "Yesterday afternoon multiple Republic owned permit shops and nearby businesses were attacked with explosive devices on Coruscant, doing significant damage to nearby infrastructure and causing panic in the streets. Several hours later, similar explosions where reported inside the Republic Permit Shop on Dac. Both attacks where claimed by anonymous beings claiming to be members of the Crimson Fang, A group of known terrorists, already known to be responsible for the destruction of the Ithor security checkpoint last week." The image fades as the woman stops speaking.
Open the Flood Gates: Force Applications
Now that things have settled a bit, we are looking to throw Force back into the mix. The Jedi and Sith Orders have been nothing more than myth and rumor since the advent of the hyperdrive. The Sith and Jedi Masters have found that now is the time to work their machinations: For better or for worse. The eternal schism of the Jedi and Sith is not forgotten by members of these sects, and so they continue to work against and thwart each other's plans when able. What we are looking for: Jedi and Sith Master applications to spread their respective word and/or influence. What to put in your application: Goals and methods on how you plan to build up and operate your Order within the current galactic framework. We will be working with accepted applicants on the finer points of how Forcers will fit into the greater story of the timeline. [Note]: As usual, existing characters need not apply.
Quest Credit Return Tweaking
An overall guideline for quest returns has been no more than 300,000 credits an hour. Depending on the ease of the quest, it may be significantly lower. However, we have found several quests that gave well over that guideline, with some being well over the million marker. We're auditing quests as we find them to ensure their payout is on par, so do not be surprised if your hotspot quest that was netting you a million credits an hour suddenly gets reduced to something more reasonable.
