HL2RP Vindex | Rising Hours of the Empire Roleplay

Lore - This server uses a mix of expanded universe lore, and Disney lore.

The year is 19 BBY. It is about 5 months after Order 66 was given and the clones massacred the Jedi, leaving few scattered and far between in the galaxy. Coruscant is teeming with life and energy, as the new Empire is taking over planets and reaping their supplies. The galaxy is no longer divided, as the Jedi are gone, the only two Sith are ruling the galaxy, and the CIS was put down by Darth Vader. You are on a moon of the planet Ord Mantell-- Druzen. It’s a temperate selena, devoid of native life. You make your living here, and the moon is newly under Imperial control-- loosely, but still under control. There’s a space station floating above the moon, and there is another above Ord Mantell.



There is one Stormtrooper battalion in the sector you reside in, it’s the 627th Expeditionary Force, they have fresh Phase 3 Clone Trooper armor, and they wield the new E-11 blasters and DC-17s from the Clone Wars. Matte grey ARC-170s fly across the dark skies, as well as similarly colored V-Wings with Imperial symbols on their sides. The environment you’re in is dark and loud. The streets bustle with life and there are patrols are everywhere. There is a local cantina, ran by a LE-VO Law Enforcement Droid, seemingly reprogrammed. He’s very polite and is in pristine condition. He has two WESTAR-34s on his side, and his eyes glow. Other stores and shops are to be found and set up.

Many bounty hunters and smugglers roam this backwater trading moon, and many fugitives. It’s a hotbed of criminal activity. Spice trade, and other drugs can be found here, quite easily, but expensively.

- Factions -
Imperial Army - Troopers stationed at this particular outpost. Join by applying on the forums, as the Imperial Army was not accepting recruits at this time, only Clones.
Imperial Navy - Galactic Marines, officers, and high command. They reside in space, in the station above Druzen.
Vagrant - This includes smugglers, bounty hunters, and other dirty workers.
Citizen - Average person living on this moon, everyone starts here.

- Races -
Clones - Mass produced Jango Fett clones. In large numbers, new and old Clones. Some are newer than others, made for the sole purpose of serving the Empire.
Human - Most dense race on this moon. Many humans reside here.
Rodian - Green reptilian humanoid. There's quite a large population here.
Weequay - A humanoid race hailing from Sriluur. They fare very well on dry, hot desert planets, which brings them here.
- Activities -
At the moment, there are many activities. There's a populated cantina, plenty of bounties to be had, clones to mug or rob, people to mug or rob, stores to visit, guns to buy, and even sabacc to play. Do whatever your heart desires, as long as it is within reason. If you have trouble figuring out what is within reason, contact me or my staff.

- Lore -
Most of Disney's lore for Star Wars. Stormtrooper brigades and types from expanded universe. Ships and weapons from expanded universe. Planets from expanded universe.

- Rules -
1. No RDM (of course)
2. No NLR, first time you die your name is changed and you reconstruct your character. Value your life!
3. Firefights are solved in S2K. Careful.
4. No force-sensitives.
5. You are allowed to be whoever you want as long as it is properly roleplayed. Applications are for strict roles and that is it. Less restriction than most.
6. What the admins say goes. There aren't many technical rules, so everything is up to judgment. Admin word is law.
7. PK/Character deletion after your 2nd death.

nice

 

Shoot to kill fights, with PK if you die? Can I... Uh... I just thinks that's a bad idea. Mostly cause I'm a pleb with lowly rig so my Counter Strike skills are hampered.

 

I was just talking about a star wars RP in clockwork with a friend earlier today. This will be an interesting little experiment. What can we expect the server "feel" to be like? As in, are there going to be active story archs? Crafting system? Aggressive militia(s)/imperials? Freeflow RP with little to no admin interference in terms of story?

 

I'll take that into account, it's just a form of character preservation so people don't take advantage of the fact that they're in Star Wars and can just shoot people, most of these events will be overseen by an admin to make sure they're done correctly, and it'll be a mix of both S2RP and S2K in some cases. Also, it isn't a permanent PK until you die twice. Dying twice results in you losing your character, their inventory, etc. Dying once results in a namechange and it's a simplified form of NLR. These consequences will only result from thoroughly RPed and proper situations that isn't just RDM or some guy who just joined, bought a blaster, and murdered the entire cantina.

The RP is going to be very freeflow. Events will be made by admins and how the events go and span out will be left up to the players. The server will feel close together and everything will be nearby. I'm looking into crafting plugins, and Imperials will basically be left to do whatever they want as long as it isn't breaking laws. They may be aggressive, or passive. It depends on the person. The active story arc will be the Imperial take-over of the outer and mid-rim systems. Players will be totally allowed to do whatever they want as long as it can be roleplayed.

 

Oh, hey! A Star Wars server that isn't strictly a military RP, and actually acknowledges the other races present in the universe! Maybe this'll turn out alr-

Oooh.... so close.

 

Fuck the expanded universe that's some bitch nigga shit

They had chewbacca hold up a moon what a fuckin stupid ass expanded universe

 

This looks really good. Well thought out too.

 

considering pushing back the release date a day or two, job is being surprisingly demanding at the moment and is sort of fucking my schedule over, making me have less time to focus on the server (which there's nothing wrong with because AS YOU ALL KNOW, real life > rp)

 

UPDATE: Going through multiple issues and considerations at the moment-- one being that my plugin center is fucked and neither kuro or trurascalz bother to read tickets anymore (considering mines been up for nearly 48 hours now with zero response), which means I can't add plugins that are on the plugin center.
Another is that I've decided to say fuck forums-- yes, they're nice, and MAYBE if my community makes it to that point where I NEED forums I'll use them, but for now I'll just have a 'General Discussion' forum through the steam group and people will need to hit me up for applications-- by that I mean have a personal interview with me. It'll have a format of course, but it'll just be made so I can verbally and mentally assess the person instead of reading an app that shows zero qualities about that person-- for example, the way they speak to others, their attitude, how good they are at wording things, etc.

Any questions, do not be afraid to hit me up. If anyone has better ideas, just tell me, because I'm thinking over this carefully. I'm pretty positive about the forums thing though.

edit; got the PAC plugin and third person plugin from github. those 2 are fine until i get my plugin center working again. gonna go through with the forums thing and have a user info forum where its basically a database of things you need for specific rp. all models are good and weapons are working. i anticipate launch around today or tomorrow. if things go well, expect the server to be up and running today around 4pm est.

 

get stoked

 

Launch is tomorrow at 6:45PM EST. Be there, niggas.

 

Launch in 15. Pls join
