  Revival Story Discussion Thread
December 16, 2015 10:50:29 AM    View the profile of Drac 
I've seen several requests for a place where we can discuss the Revival story, and this seems like the best place for it at the moment.

Some current issues I've seen folks wondering about:

1) Next steps after arrival?

Seems like we're tentatively following my suggestion from yesterday of a meeting for officers and a bar scene for NCOs. That's not set in stone, but it's something at least.

2) Several of us are wondering what the name of Stormz's ship is- whether it's the Atrus or if that was destroyed and he's now in an ImpStar Deuce. Stormz?

Again, I'm just setting this up for everyone's convenience and to help cut down on confusion. Hopefully Stormz or Fury will be by soon to clarify anything they need to.

My main thing is what era are we adhering to?  Sticking to VE-canon, or are we waiting until TFA releases to determine the state of affairs between ROTJ and TFA?

Then after that, are we gonna be rebuilding for a while, or just magically be operational?

Both things kinda affect what we will actually be doing.

Can't plan a mission unless we know what we have to deal with in the now, am I right? :P

I think the idea is post RotJ but not near TFA last I remember.

We probably won't figure that first point out for at least a week- not until a good number of us have seen TFA and have a chance to discuss and dissect it.

On the second point, rebuilding is what everyone has seemed to be leaning towards from what I've read. We don't have the numbers or organization right now to just jump right back in where we were, plus it'll give everyone a common "start"  date with the timeskip rather than trying to deal with a mess of individual absences of various lengths. It's a good time to do a partial reset anyway.

For this story, neither should matter much. Just have fun writing, do some meet and greet stuff, and anticipate the inevitable bar fight. lol

Can't stress enough Drac's point about us not knowing yet what VE canon is going to look like, moving forward.  Let's all use this story (Revival) as a no-strings-attached one-off; it's just a chance for all of us to get used to writing, again, and experiment with ideas for changing and/or updating our characters.

In a couple weeks, we should have a much better idea of what our chosen time period (a decade or two after Endor) looks like, in the new official canon being rolled out with Episode VII.

As for Stormz's ship, I'd like to go on record as saying we should retain some sort of memorial, for Atrus (Atrus, the real-life member of the VE who was killed by a drunk driver, early in the VE's history).  When I implied Stormz's ship had been destroyed at Corellia, I was referring to the Allegiance-class battlecruiser Loyalty, which the VEN acquired in stories just before Chapter 9 started.  But with that said, I do think we should let go of our in-story faction having an Executor-class star dreadnought (like the Atrus, formerly called the Mustang).  It doesn't work, for a small faction.  So, I think it's better if Stormz isn't on the big, modified super star destroyer for Revival, but if we do decide to consider Atrus (the ship) destroyed some time in between Chapter 9 and Revival, we should also consider a new, different way to memorialize Atrus (the member).

I agree with Trick on the Atrus
If the Atrus was destroyed, we could perhaps have another that links to the member and speaks about the VE's rebirth, something like;
Atrus Renaisance It's a bit cheesy, but you get the gist.

Very curious to see what is gonna happen with the plot.
