Federation of Independent Systems-Planning/Recruitment

Well, we will definitely be keeping an eye on this one if it takes off. Know that the Coalition will certainly be happy to toss you any support you need. Whether you’re apart of the Coalition or not, if you stand separate or against the First Order, you can consider us a friend.

I welcome any and all help. I do want this to be truly neutral, though.

You can certainly do that. I was planning on having the FIS Government setup like a Stratocracy styled government. For specific characters, I was hoping that a neutral force user would want to be the Commissioner of the FIS Military Police that would be known as Justicars. I figure that the FIS could have neutral force user serve as officers of the law and not worship one side of the force over another. I also hope that people will want to write as an Ambassador for other factions that have been stationed on Onderon, will also need Military officers as well.

I view the space station as a place where new writers can start, kind of like a beginning area from a mmorpg. Where as my plan was to have embassies setup within the Capital City of Onderon and have building where faction representatives can hash out treaties and galactic policies. Think of the FIS as something similar to the UN, but more militaristic in nature. The FIS is designed to help neutral planets remain neutral and Independent from other Galactic Factions while still having support from a Galactic faction, in case they need it. I also sort of wanted it as a place where if people wanted to write political Story lines then they could do so, without interrupting the flow of other people's story lines.

Falleen will be allying with the FIS, as we have repelled a Blackguard invasion and want to remain independent from the other factions. And neutral.

So after some time, thinking and chatting with others. It would appear that not many people are interested in the concept that i have laid out, so I want to ask everyone what are some suggestions that could make this idea better, more appealing and more interesting. Any and all feedback/suggestions are welcome.

The main idea behind this was a way for planets that are not aligned with any faction to be protected. Let's use Falleen for example, if King Zad was having problems with a faction that was trying to invade their planet, then The FIS would send aid to them in the way of its navy. Along the same lines is that every world aligned with the FIS would be required to commit some military resources to the FIS to help reduce the 'stress' and resource drain from other FIS worlds. No allied world would be forced to change their government style to that of the FIS, these worlds would still be governed by themselves unless they want to have the same government as the FIS.

One of the other ideas behind this was for the FIS to send relief to worlds that have been raided or plagued by war. Be it either a peace keeping force to ensure that no more fighting occurs or medical relief to help the injured and the sick. With this same idea, the FIS would take in refugees from war torn worlds and found them a new permanent home.

The Idea behind having the FIS' government setup as a Stratocracy was to help avoid corruption within the government. As a Stratocracy government is headed up by military chiefs. Think Terran Federation form Starship Troopers meets The Turian Hierarchy from Mass effect  meets a combination of Canada and Switzerland.  And by that I mean the Neutrality of the Swiss meets Canadian Peace Keepers from the UN.

I hope i was able to clear up some of the confusion, feel free to ask more questions if you have any.

that does sound like it would be a way to introduce the FIS to the rest of the galaxy.

So, I actually really like this idea. And while a stratocracy is less susceptible to corruption, it still can be corrupted. Or at the very least, influenced in a particular direction...not that I am scheming or anything...

I feel that the Federation of Independent Systems could be a valuable ally to The Organization. The FIS can provide access to many neutral worlds that could potentially be out of reach for us, and in return The Organization could provide raw resources, access to specific markets and ships that were thought to exclusively be available only to The Organization...if this interests you, that is?
