Senate Aflame

Note: Please refer to the Resource thread here regarding the factions, information which will be updated as necessary. The OP is long enough already.

147 ABY

War!

The Galaxy has fallen into chaos once more. Terror and uncertainty grip the ever-changing climate, forcing the Senate into desperate measures.

Whispers of a new threat in the galaxy has arisen following terror attacks and sieges throughout the Galaxy, all endangering the freedom and safety of the citizens. The New Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Preserve the Republic rule the galaxy, side by side, despite their turmoiled history. They are both countered with the Neutrality Pact, a third party hoping to diffuse the tension that grows daily.

First, it was the Outer Rim. Rapid-fire attacks tormented the isolated planets. Factions began losing their ships and valuable resources to mysterious enemies.

Then, the Senate. An attack that killed thousands upon thousands, including the former Emperor of the NGE.

Now, Cloud City. The major source of Tibanna gas obliterated and ships of the New Galactic Empire stolen in the resulting chaos.

Political games are afoot, tragedy threatens to strike again - and no planet, no system is safe.

It has been alleged that this threat represents the Vong Empire, a rogue biowarfare faction led by the Febrayasis “dark sider” Nairę, who has been responsible for recent attacks against both governments and claimed responsibility for the destruction of Cloud City. Nairę is a chaotic fallen force user of the Febrayasis Order (Vasalian) and her followers will be no easy victory - for both Sith and Jedi alike. If the Vong and Nairę gain power quickly, they will become an unstoppable force.

Her followers are not the only threat, however. Danger lurks in every corner of the Galaxy, betrayal hides in the shadows, and there is never merely one who seeks power...or the end of the Galaxy itself.

Evil never works alone, and there is always another pulling the strings.

For now, the citizens must act quickly to protect their assembly and to save their Galaxy…for it is AFLAME!


Factions

The New Galactic Empire (NGE):
(Allied with the Febrayasi, also splintered versions of the Acolytes of Darkness, One Sith, and Jedi, forming the Imperial Knights and Lords of Shadow - known as Shadow Guards)

Upon Krayt’s defeat, this opportunistic band of magocratic, Galactic Empire purists established themselves, rising from the Unknown Regions to fill the growing vacuum with astounding speed. They adopted many aspects of the Fel Empire, fusing it into a ruthless authoritarian regime that commanded both respect and great power. They believe in Order, Justice, and Peace above all else.

Many have led the faction as its ideologies continued to garner support from worlds spanning the Galaxy, eventually resulting in it reaching the zenith of the current clime - the ruling party, the office of Supreme Chancellor...absolute power seems inevitable.

They are currently led by the Empress Volshe, a mysterious and oddly benevolent woman who rose to power upon the death of the former Emperor Sinreb Irth in the Senate bombings.

The Alliance to Preserve the Republic (Rebellion):
(Allied with the Jedi factions the Guardians of Light and the New Jedi Trials)

The Republic has always stood as a beacon of freedom and democracy throughout the Galaxy. However, it is a constant struggle to maintain the proper balance between maintaining order in a galaxy fractured by disparate interests, and the freedom of its citizens. To them, there are always those who would trample on the free rights of sentients; who would bring Order to the galaxy at the cost of democracy.

It is their mission, their duty, to stand against those forces of darkness. To ensure that oppression never again rules over freedom. We are the Alliance to Preserve the Republic, and their fight shall not be in vain!

Now they stand at the ready to face the threats to the Galactic citizens and their freedom, to restore the Republic in all its Glory...and they are prepared for whatever it may take.

The Vong Empire:
(Allied with the Vasalians and rogue Sith)

The Vong Empire is a fairly new entity that was cultivated by the fallen Febrayasis, Nairę. This is a fanatical federation that honors the original Vong and plans to instill their obsessive beliefs upon the entire galaxy. They were once nothing more than an irritant, but soon became the tool of Naire to create chaos and war. Now they pose an equal threat to the New Galactic Empire and the Alliance. They will not stop until all have bowed before them or died.

The Neutrality Pact:
(Allied with the Jedi factions the Guardians of Light and the New Jedi Trials, the Grey Jedi, Febrayasis, and rogue Sith)

While most of the Galaxy has moved towards either the Alliance to Preserve the Republic (Rebel) or New Galactic Empire (Imperial) camps, a few planets have not joined either side. A former member of the Alliance, Abydos, formed the Neutrality Pact as a way of uniting these various worlds, to serve as a middleman between the Alliance and Empire. As of now, the NP and its member planets are working towards helping Bespin and Mygeeto recover from the attacks upon their territory, while trying to get the Imperials and Alliance to work together better.

The New Sith Order
(Allied with Dominion of Darkness, rogue Sith)

The remnants of Krayt's New Sith Order, left scattered across the Outer Rim Territories, have received an influx of support from Sith emerging from a dominion of darkness within the Unknown Regions. Ostensibly led by the mad Darth Malkuth and savage Darth Nihl, it is said they are merely the puppets of a mysterious benefactor who desires to reshape the One Sith into a philosophically purer fiefdom.

The True Sith

Descendants of an ancient Sith Empire that coasted the stars before antiquity, the True Sith fled the calamitous collapse of their Infinite Empire into the Unknown Regions nearly 30,000 years ago, abandoning their brethren on Korriban. But their immortal rulers have endured, and Darth Dreadwar the Magnificent, Emperor of Zakuul and Dark Lord of the Sith, is leading inroads into known space for the first time in millennia.

Other Factions are welcome, with explicit prior approval.
