is it too much to name my character who wears centuries old trooper armor “troop”? i dont think it is.

im debating whether it should be clone or storm trooper armor. i think trying to figure out how the new republic frames the galactic empire in this world is vital. are they the roman empire to the catholics, are they the british empire to the us, etc.?

lightsaber styles - vol’et

the old ways are forgotten. lightsaber combat has evolved immensely.

traditional styles remain taught only by the errant order. the republican knights have innovated immensely within a mere 200 years. the techniques have been redeveloped and designed for a new age.

vol’et is a style emphasizing throwing techniques. it is generally considered a style reserved for masters of lightsaber and adept users of the force.

few fighters would consider throwing their weapon away anything more than sheer incompetence, but for a vol’et practicioner, it is a key feature. their lightsaber is continually thrown and returned, generally designed to keep the enemy at a distance, only returning to their hands when they are assured they can come in close and attack. the blade barrier is the common defensive technique, akin to the techniques of form 3 for defense but held away from the body. for this reason, vol’et is often thought of as “projecting the body”—the lightsaber is an extension of the self, even when not in hand.

when in close, the wielder uses both hands, throwing their lightsaber between their hands between blows to keep the enemy off balance. while it is not in the hand, during the throw, the ideal is to still strike at the enemy.

the knights have only ever recognized one formal master of this form and he still lives.

sith shit

200 years into the future (204 aby), there are no sith. every apprentice of vader’s was bested and gone. the lineage of the sith was no more. or at least, it should have been.

the force is a troubling thing. and so as the new republic came to power, as the jedi split into two opposing factions, as the light side was manipulated for ill ends and weakened, the force could do only one thing: create a dark sider.

the kaleesh still suffer. they have always suffered. for whether it was the empire, the trade federation, or any wandering warlord who took dominion, the kaleesh were never given aid. and all this, over many years bred a contempt in one kaleesh woman: Nykhun jai Rabeem.

and somehow, some way, she found herself in the possession of a copy of “the Book of Sith.” she learned much here. techniques and history alike were buried in the pages. the weakness of the jedi. but so too, the failures of past sith. she would not be as them. the sith were little without anger, without hate. and nykhun learned to detest even the old sith. for these names were spoken of in the legend of sheelal, and these names had failed him too. no, she would keep the knowledge to herself, learn it well, and she would wait for those she deemed worthy. those who would destroy and leave nothing behind.

Darth Desol was born. she was not a trained sith, perhaps not a master. but she is stronger than any of the new jedi by parsecs.

at some point my star wars fan continuity is just going to be utterly divorced from actual star wars.

changes so far:

- anyone can learn the force. some people are just naturally gifted. it’s like i dunno, name an activity you can be born better or worse at. like that. this is because han solo is a force user and i dont wanna die on that hill cus i dont care about men, but i think it’s neater if the force gives people little quirks. anakin’s technological aptitude, han’s luck/”danger sense”,etc. - i dont think toydarians or hutts have force mind resistance anymore because that’s just dabbling in antisemitism and/or orientalism. there are other force resistant species, and im debating about them, i dont know that they approach that same “their immune because they are innately greedy” - i think thats it so far? theres more worth changing but im still kindaaaaa new to star wars. i just used to research balosar and twi’leks for character writing.
