Izaak, Laz and Tork be here.

I be up for some inter faction roleplay.

In addition, I am due to declare an Act of Union between the League and the Empire thus effectively giving a vast majority of known space under "Official" Imperial command.

Of course, this is taking into account that the Sith have no overt formal territory, the Shadows have no overt formal territory, the Rebellion have no overt formal territory, the BSP of course have no overt formal territory, and the CSA do have overt formal territory which consists of one sector of the galaxy.

The former four I have concluded cannot have formal overt territory due to the following reason:
The Sith are "Officially" hunted by the Empire and thus cannot maintain a formal Empire outside Sith Space, which arguably does rival the Corporate Sector in volume, however, I have come to a conclusion their colonies tend to look more like temple monasteries and the like rather than a proper full fledged colony.
The Shadows have logically been well versed with running around and while they probably will have settlements here and there, most of them I am assuming to be pre-fabricated outposts.
The Jedi and the Rebellion have planets under their control but at the same time these planets pay tribute and are formally under the Jurisdiction of the League, all those who did not do so would have probably faced a similar fate to Bothan Space by now.
The BSP are a pirate organization...not a governing body nor a way of life where it can support billions of civilians. While they can I am sure control several worlds at a time if they tried, it would be bad for business because...well I don't know, its not pirate-like to settle down?

The Hutts and Hapans are neutral but the Hutts have full rights to trade within League space as if its an extension of Hutt space, provided the Hutts actually set up proper channels first to pay taxes and the like.

If these things and the Act of Union which is coming up (I am still writing up the post...I am still dissatisfied with the current draft), does not intervene on your plans, then lets hear it.

Thank you Kal, that clears up far too many loose ends that I had failed thus far to tie up. I was hoping someone with more knowledge on SL timelines would come and clear a few things up if I post out a hypothesis on my current view of the galaxy. Which you happily did.

The Hapans are, I am fully aware autonomous, and independent, almost hostile to the League if it (which is unlikely now that I had to shift my plans ever so slightly away from its original all those many months ago) ever tries to enter it. Of course, former Republic worlds are the same. Many would still in practice be independent. Far too much for my liking, personally, but still they would be keeping a formal relations with the League no doubt, provided that the thugs of mine stay away from blowing everything up to bits. No, its more likely an uneasy truce between the lot of them really. I wouldn't expect Naboo or Corellia to suddenly shout "death to the league" at this time unless the league did do something drastic. So on paper, they are still neutral third parties in the Galaxy that maintains some sort of connections to the league.

Which brings about my second thought. The League in itself isn't a purely political entity, in fact political unity seems to be the last of its objectives. Economic comformity alongside an informal alliance of the rich, the powerful and the corrupt is more my view of the league, backed up by brute force and the unwillingness to accomodate a more liberal, indivisualistic social pattern. Thus the relations with the Hutts are not a matter of kowtowing of one to another, but I would have thought an open trade, no tariff agreement. Of course, for political reasons of the member planets, they cannot do business with crime syndicates officially, thus the need for the Hutts to set up a business front for the money and goods to flow through.

The sith, I shall leave that up to them to deal with. Its not like its the witch hunt anyways so no need to go stirring up that bee hive unless we should.

Funnily enough, what I am trying to do is get rid of the League ASAP, so that we can return to a more Star Warsy atmosphere for SL. In addition to that, I was trying to see if we can get the Galaxy's socio-political map back a bit closer to 0 ABY with all the Sith Lore add ons, so that it will be easier to let new people in. Its quite ridiculous as it is without my machinations running rampant any longer so, I would naturally need the older people's help in ironing out the few minor details.

Propaganda, I can deal with, half truths as well. But this for once, I need to actually pay attention as to what is really happening of I will step on far too many toes and fall right on my face with the birthday cake in my hand.

section added after I noticed you had posted before I,

In reply to Aida:

How about some nice good old fashioned rebellion starting in a major league world, such a Bothan space area perhaps, at the news of the Act of Union address? Rahven makes the announcement, uses military force to crack down on dissent (not that there would be any now that we had a few months of silence...) But naturally there are a lot of worlds that don't like the Empire and naturally wouldn't like it the moment Rahven declares all Imperial law to be automatically assigned to League space, and all forces becoming Imperial forces, with an Imperial mandate, and all policies of the Empire to be turned into League policies and the League becoming just one huge Oversector that can be termed a Dominion of the Empire.

Thus a civil war breaks out between established elites of a planet in support of the League, even by gun-point, and the people who naturally would consider this one step the last straw?

Brilliant, now all the pressure on me to start up the actual thread with the address....

Where did I put that last draft, ah well, I might as well start over than do a haphazard stitch job of a draft now that I actually have an audience to keep in mind.

While I work on that, if you wish to start off with a general outline of the thread (such as the title for instance) that would be grand.

As for the Jedi, I don't see why they cannot be in the thread, I mean they are the third successor state to the Republic as far as I am concerned and they do have one of the last battlegroups of the Republic in their posession. They can do grande events as well you know. Even make a front such as a rival Naboo organization if the League is going to disband and just become a part of the Empire, might as well start a new government somewhere.

Just so you know, the Empire won't bite at random locations just because we know enemies are there any more. I believe Laz has come to appreciate knowing where his opponents are and would like to keep it that way and as Kal said, we seemed to have a large chunk of space with that ammount of resources IC wise, no need to go stirring up trouble unless trouble comes to us.

Hmm...so am I to make me own thread title?

Oh...I thought 2008 was 27 ABY...

Should be fixed.

No worries Aida, I just didn't want to keep you waiting without me realising it, but the stage is now set for you to start your stuff. I did put that extra tidbit of insider info so as to be useful for action. Most of what the Professor said in that transmission I consider to be common knowledge anyways. But you know, one never knows when we need some documentation to source our arguements eh?
