Ok, people, here's my idea for a story. Everyone whose interested can make up a bad guy as evil, as demented, as powerful as possible, and then post stuff about him (in one post, please) here. Then we'll write a story in which they all join together to defeat the New Republic and conquer the galaxy.

Let the creativity roll!!!!!!!!!!!

------------------
The metaphysical nature of this energy field commonly known as "the Force" is such that it is galactically pervasive, but the potential of becoming omnipervasive, or even modopotent.

What time period is this? Post-Yuzhaam Vong? It probably should.

------------------
'But tonight, we're going to a party. Because that's our job.'
'Bleed and die, yub, yub.'
'Never tell me the odds. You know Corellians have no tolorence for odds.'
'Me? Egotistical?

Post-Yuuzhan Vong. Say, 30 years after the Battle of Endor. Agreed? Ok.

The metaphysical nature of this energy field commonly known as "the Force" is such that it is galactically pervasive, but the potential of becoming omnipervasive, or even modopotent.

Thirty years seems pretty short. The NJO books will last 25 books, and who knows how long that will last. Let's make this an entirely new era. Maybe 100 years? We could have all new spiffy technology and everything.

Alright, alright. 100 years after the Battle of Endor it is. Just post your villain and his/her specs.

And by the way, Cougar, how did you know that there are going to be 25 books in the NJO series?

Can't remember exactly where, but I got it from a few reliable sources.

I'll think of an enemy later. This story could be pretty interesting.

Alright, here is my enemy:

ALEXANDER THE DARK, emperor of the planet Orandisare. He is the oldest Andor ever to have lived, at 150,000 years old, yet he is still strong and vigorous. He has black hair with a silver streak and ice-blue eyes. His uniform consists of black tunic and trousers, black belt, black boots, black gloves, red shoulderpads, and a billowing black cape. His weapon of choice is a lightsaber he made himself whose red blade has the peculiar property of being made of pure Force, rather than mere energy.

ORANDISARE is the home planet of the humanoid alien race known as the Andors. It is a mobile planet, able to travel at unheard of sublight and supralight speeds.

THE ANDORS are very mysterious and very powerful. All of them serve Emperor Alexander loyally. Treachery among them is impossible.

THE ANDORS are divided into several classes. There are the "zura" - the warriors - the "reusi" - the spies - and the "sherel" - the elite; the best of the best; the best at everything, including espionage, battle, etc.

THE ANDORS have the unique natural ability to manipulate energy fields of all kinds - including the Force. They also have extraordinarily long lifespans. It is not uncommon to have an Andor live for tens of thousands of years.

METALLE is the common Andorian metal. It is living, self-healing. Low-grade metalle is as strong as durasteel, and high-grade metalle is invulnerable, even against a lightsaber blade.

ANDORIAN WARRIORS wear metalle armor and wield metalle battlestaffs. They are extremely well-trained.

ANDORIAN BATTLESHIPS. The Andorian fighter-bombers are fast, maneuverable, and well-armed, made of low-grade metalle. There are the 900-meter-long frigates, made of low-grade metalle and heavily armed. Capable of carrying two squadrons of fighter-bombers. The 1800-meter-long light cruisers are also made of low-grade metalle and can carry up to seven squadrons. The 5000-meter heavy cruisers are made of high-grade metalle and can carry twenty squadrons. Then there is the Andorian flagship, COMMANDANT, which is 20,000 meters long, made of high-grade metalle, and capable of carrying fifty squadrons.

SOME OF EMPEROR ALEXANDER'S MOST NOTED SERVANTS:
SACRASIS: At 100,000 years, he is the second-oldest Andor, originially named Airok. His son was called Sith, who founded the Sith order. (The son of his sister, Ariel, was Jedi.) He creates many darkside weapons for his master.
SENNETH: A 19-year-old human, the first non-Andorian ever to be admitted into the ranks of the "sherel". Senneth intelligently and practically breaks apart his master's plans in order to refine them.
LARS KALYAN: A 6095-year-old Demon, Kalyan is a shapeshifter and incredible fighter who can generate weapons out of his flesh. He is the second non-Andorian to be knighted a "sherel". He also commands SITH GAUNTLET, the Attez-class Star Destroyer, which is as long as the original Imperial Death Star, though not as heavily armed. He is the head of the Attez Sith Lords, an order of dark side monks.

HIGH ADMIRAL ETTOCK: 81,700-year-old Andorian. Commander of all Andorian forces. Personal ship is the Andorian flagship is the COMMANDANT.

Hope Emperor Alexander of Orandisare and his minions are dastardly enough for you!!!!!

Sounds good. One problem with having this set after the Vong is that we don't know how the galaxy will be after the Vong episode. We don't know how many planets will still survive. For all we know, Coruscant might bite the dust, as well as Coreillia, Yavin 4, and probably numerous others. Maybe think about placing this story a few thousand years after the Republic is founded? Then you could do pretty much whatever you want, because then you know what will happen in the far future and everything. Maybe I could include this somewhere in the Deridian War story. I have the Vong mentioned in there, somewhere. I could replace it with these guys.

BTW, the Sith were originally a species. A group of Dark Jedi landed on the planet and became the people's gods. It wasn't named after a certain person.

I understand that, Cougar, about the Sith. I KNOW they were an alien species. What I'm saying is that. The alien species originally were named in honor of their first master, Sacrasis's son Sith. Then the Dark Jedi came long after Sith's death to take over his people.

And by the way, Cougar, I'm really waiting for your enemy.

Aah. That makes sense. Okey-dokey, then.

My enemy-

T'rkip Phill'ra- A native of Noravia, his species is also well known for living around as long as the Andorians. The have a long, slippery snake-like body, with tentacle arms and a snake-like head. He is extremely strong in the Dark Side of the Force, and was one of the originally Jedi to inhabit Sith. He soon began to develop a partnership with the ghost of the Andorian named Sith, and together they formed a co-rulership over the planet, Sith advising T'rkip. Soon, treachery separated the two, and T'rkip left Sith, but taking along all his teachings and advancements in the Force with him. However, he wasn't very thorough in his leaving, and copies of the teachings remained on the planet and were used to train the other Jedi who had arrived with T'rkip. While the Sith Empire prospered greatly, and eventually lost contact with the Republic, he returned and stayed in seclusion, waiting for a perfect chance to work his evil on the Republic. When he hears the Andorian Emire will soon be attacking the Republic, he jumps at the opportunity to join them.

(I'm just going to arbitrarily say that it's 100 years after the Battle of Endor, and forget about what those blasted Vong could have done.)

A great metallic sphere hung in space, massing more than both of the Imperial Death Stars combined. Made of low-grade metalle, it was the outer shell of the planet Orandisare, protecting it against assault. Then, descending in layers, was the atmosphere and finally the planet's surface itself.

At the north pole of the planet a fortress stood. The High Citadel of Emperor Alexander. Made of the invulnerable high-grade metalle. No better security anywhere else in the galaxies than here.

In the High Tower Palace, Emperor Alexander brooded. His millennia-long plan was finally coming to fruition. Phase Two was nearly complete. Then Phase Three and Phase Four would follow. Upon the completion of Phase Four, all things - not just the galaxy, but the entire universe itself - would be under his dominion!

-----------------------

The Demon (an alien species, not actual demons from Hell) known as Lars Kalyan stood erect on the bridge of the Attez-class Star Destroyer SITH GAUNTLET. The impressive ship orbited over Orandisare in a void of space. Kalyan had just cemented his alliance with Emperor Alexander. It was time to return to his own planet Attez, where thousands of stormtroopers and just as many of his own kind were waiting to conquer the galaxy...

[Cougar, I'll let you introduce your own character in your next post. So these first posts will be more introductory in nature, then we go on to the action.

I'll post something to this in a little bit. I'll have to think of something to do with my guy. Just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten about this.

(The Viking has graced you with his presence.)

Phrom is a Hkrfgshhnt'l, a vile parasitic species from one uncharted planet on the fringe of the Galaxy. The Hkrfgshhnt'l, or H'kr for short, are small, tapeworm-like creatures that enter creatures' brains through the nearest oriface and control them until a more suitable body is found, at which point they leave their host, a process which unfortunately kills the host. The Jedi wiped out their entire planet because of the threat they posed to civilization, but Phrom managed to survive inside the head of one of the Jedi. Since then he has been switching bodies more frequently than he would like, and wishes dearly to get revenge on the Jedi. He currently occupies the head of a high-level New Republic military official's secretary, and is preparing to destroy the Jedi.
