re: The Story of the Para-Military Organization Pax Republica

Forum Image

Unfortunately this project is scrapped until further notice. Here is the basic, bare-bones version of our RP story as it was written: Pax Republica was officially created under Executive Order 1487 by Supreme Chancellor Janarus 8 years after the Treaty of Coruscant. However, the group was first formed in the fires of that fateful day. As the Jedi Temple was attacked, various Jedi, Troopers, and Guns-For-Hire banded together to combat the Sith on Coruscant. Nwahs Nirom himself was a Padawan in the temple, saved by Jedi Master Gryffon Etheras on that day. These freedom fighters were noticed quickly by Republic military, and with a little political maneuvering, Chancellor Janarus was able to pass legislation through the Senate to officially recognize their mission.

This "Pax Republica" would be a special force outside of the normal chain of command of the Republic Military or the Jedi Order, with it's Consul answering only to the Supreme Chancellor him/herself. Their mission is to ensure safety of all Republic citizens and advance the directives of the Galactic Republic on all planets in the galaxy. By being outside the Chain of Command, they have full ability to mobilize their forces quickly. Pax Republic will always be a force to combat the Sith Empire.

re: The Story of the Para-Military Organization Pax Republica

I'd like to write out some character background for Pemberton (and hopefully do more RP in the future since you lovely folks have done a lot already) and I was curious about Pax's backstory. The mediafire link here isn't working, so is there somewhere else I could go for this? Are there any other writeups I could read?

I'll send you what I've got.

This is a project that I *still* plan on finishing.

I put a ridiculous amount of work into it, but as happens with guilds, especially in a pre-launch guild, people come and go.

Right around the time of our Anniversary I hit a proverbial wall. I had about 80% of the story finished, and we lost some MAJOR players in the story. We had already lost one whose "showing of true colors" was accounted for, but around the time of our anniversary we had so many changes being made to characters, or original members leaving that the story would've been about half characters that no longer existed.

In a lot of cases, that's a good thing. For an example, I can think of nobody more deserving than our lovely Bubbles of having a place in the Guild's backstory. Even though some of those folks being removed had a huge place in the guild's development - we're a TOR guild, TOR's here now, and those faces are nowhere to be found, whereas Bubbles has been out there putting a lot of time and energy into this since day one, making us who we are in TOR, when it really counts.

I've been so busy at work I haven't had time to revisit the project and stay active in TOR with you all, but it's still on my list.

In the meantime, try this link out, this includes the first chapter of each story, plus the prologue. The stories come in at different parts chronologically, so they aren't all read immediately in order in the actual novel.

It's basically a story of four very different groups of people coming together to unite during a time of crisis for the good of the innocent, which is what Pax is all about.

Different people, with one common goal, bringing peace and protecting the innocent.

I think it should be noted that just because some members have left on good terms, they should still be included in the story of our founding (Gaiutus, etc.) since they were here in our founding... RP wise it works out, and now they've left this group of Pax Republica, to fight other battles in another galaxy. Happy There were members we removed from the story because they left on bad terms, but that's different.

Don't worry, I wasn't talking about removing Gai. He and Cyn will keep their place in the story no matter what ; ) They earned that much, at least, and Gai was the "founder" no matter how you slice it, they deserve to be there.

This is awesome. Thank you! I'll read through it closely when I'm away from work and can give it my full attention. And Tarith, I'll be sure to check in with you with my thoughts about how Pemberton got caught up in Pax before I write anything up. =)

I have a whole lot more that wasn't part of the teaser, but there's a ton of editing to be done...a lot of the characters might not be recognized by people right now. If you want to PM me your e-mail I can e-mail it to you sometime.

I had the anniversary copy on my laptop but it got erased. It was a really good read!

Thank you : ) If anyone wants a copy of the Anniversary Teaser, or even to read the whole thing (I had a lot more written, though it was unfinished), just PM me your e-mail address and I'll e-mail it to you.

I do someday (this year) want to finish this project but RL is evil and I have so much going on with my job and family I can barely play TOR regularly, let alone get the peace, quiet, and more importantly free time that I need to write, and I don't want to finish sloppily.

Tony wrote some of the best stuff I've read in a long time, I was blown away by his work. I would love to read the finished copy when / if you finish it. Some amazing works in there, and I'd love to see how you transgress us from way back then, to the now, and the future. Happy

So would I : P If you have any ideas, I'm all ears! And you will definitely get a copy whenever the muses decide to smile upon me and let me finish the darn thing.

I think it's getting about to be time for us to just completely start over Tony :P

We should get this booted back up.

Major 80 page epic that Tony was writing is more or less scrapped. However, I posted the bare-bones description of our organization in the Original Post.
