Well, this is the Infinite Empire RPG! Welcome all! Seeing as all but two of the flood of RPG's have died off, I've decided to make this one. Now, for those of you who don't know what that is, here's the TFN article (I copy/pasted it):

This was the name given to the vast empire that was created by the Rakata race, many millennia before the Great Sith War. Using a seemingly endless supply of starships and weaponry, the Rakata conquered entire star systems with swift precision, creating the Rakatan Empire during the 5,000 years that led up to the formation of the Old Republic. For unknown reasons, the Rakatan Empire died out before it was ever discovered by the Old Republic, although many scientists and xenoarchaeologists found many references to the Rakatan Empire on a number of disparate worlds.

Note: According to Bandon's Timeline, the Rakatan Empire fell 28000 years BBY, but no one knows for sure, and the Republic was born out of the ashes of the Rakatan Empire.

Okay well, here goes:

Note: There are NO Sith/Jedi yet, the Warriors of Light study BOTH sides of the force, so they have Jedi AND Sith powers. AND, lightsabers haven't been invented yet, so we use vibroblades.

Info:

Factions:
-Alliance of Core-Worlds
-The Infinite Empire of the Rakata
-The Order of the Red Star (Rakatan breakoff faction)
-The Hutts
-The Tion Hegemony
-The Mandalorians-NEW!

Ships:
The largest ships of this era are 600 meters long, ion cannons are a new invention, and no ship has hyperdrvie. Instead, ACW's ships (Alliance of Core Worlds) have Subspace Drives, which are much slower than hyperdrives and can go from one side of the Core to another in 4 weeks. The Rakata have Force-powered engines, which are 3/4's the speed of a hyperdrive.

Rules:
-No flaming
-No Godmoding (ie: I make 100 Death Stars)
-Be Realistic
-Don't be noobish (ie: i rox, u sux, OMGzorZ!)
-Make IC posts nice and long
-Keep OOC posts to a minimum
-No creating your own faction because I don't want this becoming "The Bothan Empire" versus "The Yuuzhan Vong Protectorate"
-The Rakata will occasionally have a warlord break off and go renegade (b/c their Empire is unstable) Note: This will be decided randomly, I will show you how it'll be random.
-Dont' complain about "We need..." etc. etc. etc.

Superweapon Rules:
since this RPG will involve superweapons, I'm creating a special set of superweapon limitations:

Superweapon Rules:
Since this RPG nvolves Superweapons (Centerpoint and teh Star Forge), we need a set of superweapon rules:

-No annihilating super-important worlds (ie: Caamas, Alderaan, Coruscant, Rakata)
-No building more superweapons
-No wiping out every single enemy with your superweapon
-Centerpoint Station can't fire at close range, only a far-away targets

Occupation: Warrior of Light
Personal Ship(s): High-class Hapan cruiser. 300x150m, armed with six turbolaser batteries and a stardrive. Light shields.
Bio: Opaia Lexi is the daughter of a rich Hapan family. When she learnt of the Core being besieged by the Rakatan, she felt a great urge to go up and fight. She learnt of the "Warriors of Light", and went to train with them. However, before this, she stole a ship from her parents to travel there - as her parents did not want her doing this war thing. That was when she was 20, she spent 10 years training and has now been in service for 2 years. She wields many skills as a Warrior of Light, but her relative lack of experience in battle could lead to her downfall, as she has no experience of tactics or battle change. She wields a 5foot vibroblade adorned with a silver hilt with embedded diamonds, and the blade has a small light gem at the top which has been altered to give off a red light, much like an LED. Despite the decoration, it is very lightweight, as it was made by her family's personal craftsmen for her.

Sex: Male
Owned by: DSF (DarkSideFire)
Faction: Alliance of Core Worlds

Homeworld: Thosa
Occupation: Warrior of Light
Bio: Sen’s parents and family were slaughtered by Rakata when he was a baby. He was somehow overlooked in the slaughter and he was brought to Coruscant to live in an orphanage. However when the tests for the “Force” started he was picked to be tested. It was found out that he was amazingly strong in the force, so much so that he was brought to be trained immediately even though he was younger then they had first considered. He has been training now with the project ever since it started and is considered to soon be one of the most powerful in the order. However he is still young and brash and there is much about the force that he, doesn’t know about. He is cocky as are all Corellians though some have made comments that this might be his downfall.

Admiral Therk thought he'd left that life behind when he retired to Corellia, but he soon found himself in a whirlwind of events that propelled him back into the thick of things. Calm and reasoned, he is able to keep a cool head in the heat of battle and savvy enough to navigate the political schemings of a few less than scrupulous peers. Tall with graying hair and sharp green eyes, his most notable feature is his cybernetic arm, a replacement for the one he lost in combat years ago.

Like his father, he displayed a strong will and eagerness to crush the opposition; however, he is also notably cruel. He joined the navy at a young age and ruthlessly climbed to the top. His skills earned him a position in the fledgling Project Virus House as an aide to Admiral Jekna, a kindly old Rakata warrior who intended to use the project to develop medicine for the troops. Trektan, however, surreptitously altered to project's course right under Jekana's nose to make it a deadly disease that would affect only non-Rakata. He was one of the few to know what was happening when Tental Yaktan rose to power and used the opportunity to subtly hin the Jenka might not be as loyal to the Emperor without the Council. Within a few days, Jenka was given a farce of a hero's funeral and Trektan took over his position as project director. Now he has to prevent the research from falling into Alliance hands...
