New Republic Recruitment

Post by Mir »

Captain Samuel Greks looked at the paperwork in front of him. He had just been given a flimsi that told him of the acceptance in the New Republic Marines of a recruit that had ome into his office just a few days ago. Greks was always happy when someone was accepted into their chosen branch of the New Republic armed forces. He had been a part of the New Republic for years. He had recently been transferred to the Recruitment and Retention arm of the New Republic armed forces. He had requested the transfer, after his wife had given birth to his second child. His daughter was close to three now, and he wanted to be abel to be at home for them, and be around his children as they grew. He had lived the life of an Army soldier for long enough. Samuel was a Corellian and while he didn't believe in the odds, he did know that eventually bad things happened to people. It was something that he wanted to avoid, making his children fatherless and his wife a widow.

So he had gotten the transfer. It hadn't been too hard. He had been in Recruitment and Retention for a few months now and during that course of time, he had come to fall in love with his job. He enjoyed seeing bright men and women come to his office and start the next chapter of their lives. He worked tirelessly to make sure that he was abel to get them what they wanted, and he made it a rule to never lie to them. The last thing he wanted was to put someone in a situation that they had thought would be different, especially when they would be committed for some time, thanks to the contract that they would sign.

The Republic would always need brave men and women to defend itself. It was his job to make sure that they were ready and willing to serve in the New Republic's armed forces, whatever branch they chose.

The doors to his recruiting office parted. Samuel lifted his eyes to the person who would hopefully become the newest part of the New Republic.

Aloha!

This thread is the first and foremost recruiting place for the New Republic. I decided to follow in Corsos' steps with his IC section, but you don't need to post IC if you don't want to, same as there.

If you are interested in joining the New Republic, please post here with your character idea, and what it is you want to do. You can also post any questions you have for the New Republic as well. Feel free if you need or wish, to shoot me a PM or to utilize the Messenger services located to the right of this post to get in touch with me. I have my MSN and my AIM listed. I'm on MSN much more frequently than AIM, but if you have AIM and wish to use that instead, I'm here to serve you.

I would also like to stress that I am only the Republic Coordinator. You do not need my acceptance or permission to do something like create a Republic fighter pilot, soldier, or even a Captain of a ship. If you want to go out and do that, feel free to jump right in and go ahead.

However, my presence here is to assist you in whatever way you need. I'm here to help immerse you in the Star Wars: Exodus experience and to help you mesh your stories, your ideas, and your creativity into the interesting amalgation that is the New Republic on the Exodus Galaxy timeline and the EG Timeline as well. The New Republic has diverged a bit from canon, and I'll be happy to explain any specifics as to how.

Welcome to the New Republic!

Hey, I guess the Shadows of the Republic thread is an active NR thread... or perhaps i should say reactivated thread :)

It's about the 7th Squad, Erebus Company, 1st Regiment, SpecForce SpaceOps, who specialise in ‘Unusual Phenomenon Operations.’ I guess you could call them the NR's answer to Oremin and the Empire's anti forcer units.

Hey I kinda want to make Miranda Moonbeam a captain in the New Republic Fleet. I'm willing to change up her history if the current one won't work, Thinking of maybe making a notable captain during the Xen'chi war. She didn't turn the tide of the war or anything like that, she just did her job well... maybe well enough to warrant her to captain a nice new Silphen-class battle ship? :P

I like the bio. She seems to be an idealist. If you want, Dreadstar can use her. I have a few ideas for a further history for her. PM me if your interested, and i'll hit you with the details.

I'll help! Even though I'm not sure how. We can start a thread and go from there, but I must admit I'm not sure of half of what Mir has planned for the NR. Sadly he's a bit indisposed right now, something to do with fire and what not.

Re: New Republic Recruitment

Post by Red Dragon »

well the problem i have is I'm not 100% sure of the key points of the NR yet. I know they lost coruscant to the empire and are now based off of... Mon calamari? I don't want to rewrite my character only to have too much inconsistencies. I Know what i want the end result to be, shes a captain of a Nebula-class Star Destroyer (which you guys call the Defender-class). But she can't be a captain of a ship that's loose around the galaxy, i need to know if i am going to be in a set fleet or if i can try an idea i have.

The idea being, i know the NR took major loses in the last two wars, so my character could lead a effort to recruit independent crews and their ships with the offer that the NR will pay them and maintain their ships for a determined amount of time. With other conditions, like if they go AWOL they forfeit any pay they received and if any major work was done to their ship by the NR they default that as well. To ensure they follow the guidelines of the NR navy there will be NR personal stationed on the ships and such. This may seem harsh but not when you think about a consistent pay check and the cost of maintaining/repairing your ship is handled by the NR, as well as a bonus for for completing your tour of duty... well would you do it? This gives the NR another fleet to play with, even if it is only used to free up a true NR fleet from duties such as pirate screening, patrolling or Planet/System defense.

Can't speak for Pryde, but I'm kind of swamped at the moment, so I going to pre-emptively stop myself and say that I can't join. Just keep me posted and it should be fine.

Re: New Republic Recruitment

Hi, I'm new here, but I wanted to start a saga with character being a New Republic captain (of a frigate of some sort). Since the New Republic is kind of low on ships as I understand it, there might be a few areas of the NR that wouldn't have many ships, or ships that would be very. So my idea is that my character is in one of these low-priority areas and initially finds himself dealing with a variety of criminal elements, but without all of the usual advantages of a naval power (new ships, superior numbers, maybe not even a whole lot of local political support, etc). So, he would be conducting some sort of unorthodox warfare on them, like sabotage, black flag operations, trying to pit the criminals against themselves, etc. This will probably involve tediously developing a lot of intelligence sources in the area. Eventually, I was thinking of having whatever force or network he manages to build-up into being something like the canon Rapid Response Task Force in New Republic Special Operations. So yeah, that's what I got for now, and I'm open to any input you've got.

Hey!

Just wanted to start off with a welcome to the boards. I hope that you'll enjoy your stay here and that it'll grow into a lifelong commitment. Minus a ring, picket fence, and 2.5 children.

I'm the New Republic Faction Coordinator, which means that I can answer all of your questions in regards to the NR.

Currently, the NR is participating in the Battle of Mon Calamari which is part of a larger war with a darksider organization known as the Cult of Shadow. Shortly after the battle, the Combined Defense Forces of the NR are going to be restructuring into Tactical Response Elements, or TREs. They're very much like the Brigade Combat Team that the United States Army currently employs. You can find more information on them, at our wiki here: http://starwars-exodus.wikia.com/wiki/T ... se_Element

As of right now, there actually already is a thread with the same idea or vibe that you're going for and that thread can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10339

If you want to join that thread, wonderful, if not, then I'm sure that we can work something out.

Again, welcome, and feel free to ask whatever questions you'd like, either here or via PM.

I appreciate your offer, and I will probably join that thread eventually(probably in a week or two). In real life, I'm in the process of moving across the country and starting a new job, so I'm not sure how regularly I'll be able to post, and I wouldn't want to hold you up. It looks like there's been a lot of development over the years for just the Exodus galaxy, so I think I'm going to be doing a bit of reading for a bit, and maybe I'll just start a small thread that's just a bit of a character introduction/concept establishment, and then join your thread, if that's all right with you. I was thinking of going with something like a Corona-class Frigate(since according to the Exodus wiki, it's being phased out of the NR by the Sacheen) along with a smattering of T-wings and R-41s for its fighter complement. Does that seem all right to you? Thanks again for your time.

Sounds like a plan. I like the Corona Frigate with the T-Wings and the R-41s idea. Go for it.

Incidentally, I'm assuming US and East Coast to West Coast or vice versa, but either way, be safe and we'll be here.

Definitely. I was thinking of something to the extent that Cyprien could learn under a more experienced commander (since according to your thread, Captain Kislum has been in for 15 years). Perhaps our forces could link up to take care of something like a small shadowport or pirate base? Or something like that?
