Forum:Project storyline

Star Wars Fanon &gt; Project Force Wars &gt; 

So the first thing we're going to want to do is develop the storyline for the project. To do that, I think we need to do the following things in this order:


 * 1) Develop Tython. Since this war was fought just on Tython (as far as we know), we're going to need to flesh that out and really detail this planet beyond the minimal amount of canon information there is on the world. We need this to maintain consistency as well. I suggest this be our first featured article too.
 * 2) Develop the backstory. We need to come up with the information about those first people coming to Tython and the eventual seduction of many of them to the dark side.
 * 3) Determine the groups (the amount of groups/factions needs to remain small, IMO) that are on Tython and that will eventually participate in the war.
 * 4) Develop the beliefs of these organizations. They can't be Jedi and Sith carbon copies, IMO.

Once we know that stuff, we can begin work on the actual war. It's going to be a bit of work to get that point, though. Strap yourselves in! It'll be a fun ride! - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 06:35, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

1. Tython

Landmasses
As mentioned above, let's start the discussion with. What we know from canon is. In that article, what's in the Pre-Republic history, as well as parts of the infobox, apply. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 06:48, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * The planet seems very Earth-like and so I believe the best course of action would be to make it appear as rural as possible. A vast contrast to the Rise of the Empire era Coruscant, which is one big city. This would help create the strong Force resonance associated with the system and develop the Jedi mindset. The planet should have plains, swamps, grasslands, and forests (anything that harbors vast amounts of life), and devoid volcanos, deserts, and drought. -- I am the Chosen One Train me, I will bring balance...Archive 06:58, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * In relation to the above statement, copious amounts of flora and fauna should be present. Particularly smaller, less-harmful life-forms. This would keep sentient beings safe, particularly if there were very few large predators, and Force-users would likely be using their powers to experiment and alter the growth and physiology of these small forms of life. Obviously, the ability to alter life could be a point of contention between the eventual followers of Ashla and Bogan. Large cities/monasteries should center around rivers, or some body of water, so that things like transportation, farming, and fishing are as simple as possible. All beings should start rather sheltered and close-together, and as the war progresses, should spread out across the various other continents and whatnot. &mdash;  JM ' 76 ' Droid IRC [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg|16px|link=:Category:Articles by Jedi Master 76]] 07:05, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

When we say large cities, though, we don’t want anything too big. After all, there’s not going to be a huge amount of these early priests, philosophers, etc. They’d probably number in the thousands, so large cities - such as Manhattan sized - wouldn’t really be around, IMO. I agree with the rest of what you said, though. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 07:20, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Everything about the cities should be made naturally, this would keep the population and city size down as well as slowly descrease the number of fauna species on the planet. (Not many native animal species from Tython) -- I am the Chosen One Train me, I will bring balance...Archive 07:31, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

I don't think these people would do something that would endanger species to the point that the numbers of said species started to decrease, considering the people pre-Jedi and would likely still value all life. Besides, even if canon doesn't have a lot of fauna listed doesn't mean we can't create a bunch of our own. We're forcing ourselves to follow what's already canon, but in doing so we can still expand upon it so long as nothing is contradicted. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 07:33, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree, but in later discussions concerning the split in ideals, this could become a strong cause for the Ashla to fight the Bogan. The Bogan would want to expand despite the endangerment of animals, and the Ashla would defend the fauna and flora native to the system.-- I am the Chosen One Train me, I will bring balance...Archive 07:39, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

True, but right now we want to concern ourselves with the planet, I think, before it was really colonized or anything. We need to develop the planet itself, not its history, right now. Good idea, though. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 07:41, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Got it. In order for Tython to support everything that inhabits it, there would have to be tons of rain, almost on the scale of Kamino. This would make it more of a swampy rain forest system, since forests are its main natural feature. Perhaps fogridden as well.-- I am the Chosen One Train me, I will bring balance...Archive 07:45, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Why would it need to have rain on the level of Kamino? The image of it on Wookieepedia very clearly shows that it's more or less a terrestrial, Earth-like planet. Earth doesn't have Kamino-level rain. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 16:06, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * While I'm still mulling over joining this, I'd like to throw a few questions/ideas out there: are the people here just human, or a mixture? If a mixture, then perhaps it would make sense for them to be perhaps dumped there by the Rakata or something. Furthermore, just to clarify, the technology is mostly medieval, with swords for weapons, right? Also, would there be any indigenous inhabitants? Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  16:49, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * We know that some Humans and Shi'do (formerly) are native to Tython. As for the technology, yes is pretty much medieval, considering the time period and the weapons that we know are used. For anyone who hasn't, I suggest reading, , and . - Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png (talk) 16:55, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Tython? Wookieepedia only got three images, so it's not much to go on. However, the Star Wars: The Old Republic site got a trailer with good concept art, from the Old Republic era. Here's the best of what I could find there, if anyone's interested:, , , , , , (Not sure if this is the proper way to show the images, but.. what the heck.) Gives a little bit of background to work with. Sorry if I disturbed your conversation. Antonstaen (Talk) 16:54, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Great pictures. That really helps. - Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png (talk) 16:55, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Then there's the question over whether the concepts of the two sides of the Force are really known to these people. Perhaps the war could be over its application, with one side believing it should be for the individual and the other for the greater good, thus eventually developing into the schism between Jedi and Sith. In short, perhapst the Jedi-types could be utilitarianists, and the Sith-types hedonists, if you know what I mean. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  17:01, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

What we know so far is that the war is basically good vs. evil, like all of the other wars between Force users. They generally know how the Force works, hence why one side was seduced to the dark side. Besides, the individual vs. greater good is what all light side and dark side groups come down to anyway. EDIT: Regardless, we need to be talking about Tython. Let's not get distracted with other stuff yet. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 17:07, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Heh, just that I feel that it should be a bit less abstractly black-and-white. Anyway, back to the point, I feel Tython should be a multi-terrain world like Earth. Maybe it could have two main continents, each split between the two factions, with fighting over smaller bodies. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  17:11, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * We could, perhaps, have Tython divided into different continents which could be separated by oceans (sort of like Avatar: The Last Airbender). Another option is to have the factions build massive fortress-like walls that create a perimeter around their territories. Regardless, Tython, along with its moons, has to be a very large planet. Also, I beleive we need more than just two factions. Perhaps like a light side, dark side, and merc-style side. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  17:19, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Nah, natural boundaries like mountains and oceans would be more sensible. And I think just a cluster of various merc bands would make more sense than a whole faction, unless there's a guild or something. How civilized is this planet supposed to be pre-war anyway? Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  17:22, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Ok, again, let's stop talking about the factions. We need to develop the planet, not the factions or the people. First the planet itself, then the native species (flora and fauna), then we can move on. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 17:23, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, for the planet, Wookiepedia has that it's a lush, forest-like world. But, I think we can change that from the entire planet being lush forest to just like a main continent being so, with other continents being different types of terrain. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  17:26, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Realistically, each continent on a planet like this isn't going to have its own personal terrain. They'd all share a similar terrain, with other terrains within it. Like North America has a frozen tundra, a lush forest environment, flat plains, and deserts. Asia has lush areas, then it has the Middle East. Etc. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 17:28, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * From the trailer, and the screenshots also found at the site, it's obvious that there's a lot of mountains, mixed with heavy forests and villages. Also, large natural caverns. In this screenshot of a Jedi enclave, it looks like there's some kind of sea, or something like that, shielded away by a shield. Another thing that's common are old ruins from the dawn of the Jedi Order - The result of the Force War? Also, this shows that there's nexu on Tython. It's possible that they were brought there after the period we're talking about, though. Antonstaen (Talk) 17:28, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Awesome finds. All that would work really well. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 17:30, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * A subspecies of Rancor, like the ones on Felucia, would be cool. They could be considered very rare however, or perhaps be created by Sithspawn in the later stages of the war. Just a thought. Ty294  {Talk}  17:35, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

I think, perhaps, from the mentions of the sea and all that Tython might be similar to Rakata Prime in terms of layout, with the actual landscape and mainland being more similar to the forested world mentioned. I think the influence on the light side on the planet for numerous generations would mean that there's not all that much that's viciously poisonous on the planet like, say, Felucia. Perhaps there would be the obvious few but, on the main part, I think this is a fairly idyllic planet in a lot of parts. --<font color="#c00">Darth tom  (Message me) (Contributions) 17:36, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * I completely agree with Tom. Also, Ty, there wouldn't be any Sithspawn. We're not at that point in canon. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 17:41, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh ok, I didn't know the exact date in the timeline. I figured it was one of the millions of Jedi-Sith wars. >.< Ty294  {Talk}  17:47, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

So we're pretty much in agreement? Tython will be a predominantly lush, forest-like world with sub-terrains and different continents? -- (Conference Room)  17:51, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * In my opinion, that sounds good. Antonstaen (Talk) 17:55, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Looks like we're in agreement, yeah. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 17:55, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * No arguments here. --<font color="#c00">Darth tom  (Message me) (Contributions) 17:57, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

It only took a couple hours, so not too bad. -- (Conference Room)  17:59, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Just a few hours for the basics. We need to come up with information about locations (ie, not structures, but mountains, forests, etc.) across the planet. All of this will help us when we're doing battles later. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 18:01, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * It may be easier to just make up locations as you go along. Less restrictive. However, let's just make up some big stuff now if you want--like, say, a huge mountain range that goes across the planet or the biggest continent, or something. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  18:02, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Obviously I'm not saying make up everything, but we do need the basics so we can get Tython as developed as possible. It will also make things easier for when we're doing the conflicts. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 18:03, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Continent names, maybe. Three off the top of my head right now: Gue'la, Shaski, and Muvsha. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  18:05, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Do those mean anything? Also, just so everyone knows, I'm starting to document everything we decide here so I can convert it to an article once we're satisfied with what we have. I just basically want to establish the standards of the projects in what will be our first main article. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 18:08, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, they're just names. You can assign a meaning if you want. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  18:14, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

How'd you come up with the names then? Just pulled them out of thin air? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 18:15, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Basically. The point is, do you like them? Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  18:16, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

I think I like "Mauvais", which is French for "dark or gloomy sky". It could be the home of one of the dark side factions. -- (Conference Room)  18:17, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't like that as a name at all, especially for a Bogan name. Something more sinister or a better name I'd go with. --<font color="#c00">Darth tom  (Message me) (Contributions) 18:22, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Keep in mind, Tom, that "Bogan," at least not right now, is not a faction name. It's just the dark side. I'm saying that since I noticed in your now deleted article you referred to people as "Ashla." - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 18:24, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

A little sidetrack from names here: I got some more information about animals: This shows acklay, and this shows dewback. Sure, I know.. They're not even remotely native to Tython, but.. still.. Also, these nasty little things are Tython mining droids, proving that there's something worth mining on the planet. Antonstaen (Talk) 18:41, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * If it's medieval tech, there won't be much in the way of mining or industry. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  18:41, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

1. Medieval? Exactly how do you propose that they got to Tython? 2. Humanity has mined minerals for millenia, without having access to droids. Antonstaen (Talk) 18:43, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Medieval tech in terms of weapons, not overall technology. If it was overall medieval technology, there'd be no way for people to get to Tython. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 18:44, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought they were native? And it would make more sense for them to be put there, by say the Infinite Empire or some other old civilization, because swords alongside modern industry is a bit too schizo. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  18:45, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Please read the canon information. It specifically says these groups came to Tython so they could discuss the Force, and it's there that they started to congregate officially. All of them going there was planned, and then they started to form together. They couldn't have been dropped there by the Rakatans. Also, it doesn't matter if you think that way about swords alongside modern industry. Swords augmented with the Force were used until 15,000 BBY, aka, 10,000 years after the formation of the Republic. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 18:50, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Back to the names: Waiting around for all of us to agree on just a couple names is going to take forever, and is going to get us nowhere. I say we each come up with 2-3 names. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  18:49, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Just one last thing: I believe that the Rakatan came after the Force Wars. Besides, swords are really common. There's regular metal ones in KOTOR, for example. Plus a lot of more special variants, used trough the ages. Now, onto names: We can't have all "soft" names (Ssh'kavel is one of those) Examples of "rougher" names: Bortom, Karg, etc. Antonstaen (Talk) 18:53, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Fine then, let's just assume they lost the information necessary for further tech, for the sake of simplicity. After all, who needs massive factories for swords? And I've already come up with six names, although I can come up with more. Oh, and the Rakatans are around at the same time. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  18:55, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Antonstaen: I agree with you about the swords, but I disagree with you about the names. I was planning on creating a dark side faction aside from the main one. From what I've read, the main Bogan faction is full of brutes and "rougher" members. I wanted to create another dark side faction that, although evil, it would be stealthy, sneaky, and not so "brute" and "rough". Opposed to the "brute faction", my faction would "work smart", not "work hard". Therefore, I believe their lands should reflect their nature.-- (Conference Room)  18:59, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Disagree? I don't think that's a fitting word here. I'm just saying that we need a bit different names. Any way, how many names do we need for now? Antonstaen (Talk) 19:03, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't see why "disagree" isn't a good word. You said we need "rougher" names, and I respectfully disagree, and think otherwise. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  19:06, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * EDIT: And I'd say about 4-5 names would be good. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  19:08, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * The names should take after natural things like plant life and non-sentient animals.-- I am the Chosen One Train me, I will bring balance...Archive 19:13, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Or after tribal leaders, or anything else. Anything can be a name, really. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  19:17, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Foreign translation of english words would be suitable for village and continental names. Sort of like what they do with Sith Lord Titles. Or variations of english words.-- I am the Chosen One Train me, I will bring balance...Archive 19:51, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

@Unit - they don't need to have lost information for further technology. These are people who have come from other planets and will be leaving the planet again. Both of those require spaceships, and considering they were on the planet for like 10,000 years it's kind of obvious that they're not using the same ones. Sorry, but we just can't reduce this to a medieval era. Anyway, now that we have that established, I agree with what Wylind said before. Let's all just come up with a few names for continents. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 20:04, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, @Wylind, let's step away from the Project Cruentus mentality of people having their own factions. I say that to you because you said "my faction." There really can't be a lot of factions anyway, and we need to stick to the canon ones to begin with. Everyone will be developing these factions together, not by ourselves. That's what collaboration is. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 20:06, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

That was what I was thinking actually. Real life places and such don't really fit in to Star Wars so I totally agree with scrambling or altering the names.

 * Well, if the rest agree with you, how about 'Luminat'? Still has connotations of light, but it takes a bit of imagination for the connotations you stated above. And I agree with Wylind. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  22:56, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Illuminat was meant to mean the illumination to the Force the people receive hence the reason behind them calling it Illuminat. I can look for an alternate translation to the word if you want. Or perhaps Units translation.-- I am the Chosen One Train me, I will bring balance...Archive 22:59, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * I like Unit's translation. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  23:01, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Just to get my likes out there, the names I would prefer, from what we have, are Mauvais, Motaigo, and Taiho. I’d also throw in two additional suggestions - Adelvo, a different spelling of “adlevo” which means “to lighten” in Latin, and Temero, which is Latin for “to darken.” I also agree with Wylind - get rid of the Harry Potter one. As for Luminat, I still don’t like that. I say scrap it completely. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 23:01, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Both sound okay, but I think we've already got enough Latin/quasi-Latin stuff in here already. If I had to choose, Adlevo--Temero sounds like something piano-related. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  23:03, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

The "quasi-Latin" stuff lacks meaning, though. Just because it sounds Latin doesn't make it quasi-Latin. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 23:05, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * I like Adelvo a lot. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  23:05, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, so lets pick 3 more we don't really like. -- (Conference Room)  23:08, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * I vote to eliminate Vshtali, Nbranka, and Motaigo. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  23:09, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Who cares about meaning, as long as it sounds cool? :P Okay, three more to cross out for me would be Nbranka, Vstali, and Taiho. But seriously, let's just agree on something via then going through some tedious elimination process. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  23:11, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Because you should never choose anything based on it just sounding cool. Anyway, I don’t like Teshkaval, Isenkrel, Vshtali, Nbranka, Nondeichi, or Kreyoto, and now that I think about it I’m not a big fan of Taiho either. Makes me think of Idaho. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 23:11, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Taiho, Kreyoto, Isenkrel, and Rheas suggestions are okay.-- I am the Chosen One Train me, I will bring balance...Archive 23:14, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

I've strucken-out Vshtali, Nbranka, and Taiho since three of us don't like them. -- (Conference Room)  23:15, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Based on what we have left, I’d go with Mauvais, Isenkrel, Motaigo, and Adelvo. I don’t think we need more than four anyway. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 23:16, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, elimination is just getting us nowhere. Let's all just pick three and get it over with. And I'd rather have a meaningless cool name rather than a meaningful crappy name. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  23:16, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Dude, seriously, patience. I know you probably want to get to battles and all but we can't rush this. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 23:17, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

I agree with the four that Rhea picked. -- (Conference Room)  23:19, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * I like Isenkrel and Adelvo out of those four. It should be the most popular choices. Isenkrel, Adelvo, Luminat and a fourth choice ( Mauvais), I have one last choice, Menerangi.-- I am the Chosen One Train me, I will bring balance...Archive 23:20, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Menerangi sounds too much like Ferengi. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  23:25, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Unit. It's Star Trek-esque. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 23:27, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

I struck-out the others that nobody's voted for. It's down between Mauvais (which we all agree to like), Isenkrel (another we all agree on), Nohdeichi, Kreyoto, Adelvo, and Temero. I say we get rid of two more. -- (Conference Room)  23:29, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Temero and Kreyoto for me. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  23:30, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * I say get rid of Nohdeichi and Temero. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 23:30, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with Rhea. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  23:31, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Temero is out. Just one more. -- (Conference Room)  23:32, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * I like Isenkrel and Kreyoto. Ty294  {Talk}  23:34, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Definitely Nohdeichi for me. It's just ridiculous, and I like the Japanese-ness of Kreyoto. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 23:33, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Agreed-- I am the Chosen One Train me, I will bring balance...Archive 23:35, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * So we're in agreement as far as continents go. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  23:37, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Oceans
Next up: I'd say we need about three oceans. -- (Conference Room)  23:38, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Excellent choices for names. As for the oceans, do we want to do three oceans and then a few seas? I'd say so. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 23:39, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ocean name suggestions: Voda, Morzha, Taisu, Menes, Raken. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  23:41, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

I like Menes and Taisu, but dislike Voda. Too Yoda-ish- I am the Chosen One Train me, I will bring balance...Archive 23:43, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Voda sounds too much like Yoda, IMO. As for my own ideas, I do have a few, but I’m off for a bit now. Don’t decide anything yet since I’d like to put them up and discuss them. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 23:44, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

I don't like Voda. It sounds like someone's telling me Yoda is drunk on Vodka. And "Taisu Sea" would sound cool. -- (Conference Room)  23:45, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Marathon, The Sea of Trithon/Triton.- I am the Chosen One Train me, I will bring balance...Archive 23:50, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Relatively neutral about the ocean names, but I hate the name Morzha with a passion. Sounds like Morza (sp), who's in that hellspawn series known as the Inheritance Cycle. Voda, as mentioned, sounds like Yoda. But the other ones sound all right. &mdash;  JM ' 76 ' Droid IRC [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg|16px|link=:Category:Articles by Jedi Master 76]] 00:04, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, so no to Voda. I'm off for tonight, but I'll be back on tomorrow. Try not to decide too much without me. -- (Conference Room)  00:17, September 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * A few suggestions: the Sea of Aurora, “aurora” being Latin for “dawn.” The Force Wars is essentially the dawning of the Jedi Order so it has a good meaning behind it, and it also sounds good; the Deus Ocean, “deus" being Latin for “a god” or “deity,” which works well since this is where people really learned about the Force beyond just the basics. Finally, I have the Velian Ocean. “Velia,” sometimes “Elea” but I like the former better, is a town in Lucania where the Greek philosophers Parmenides and Zeno were born. This is relevant because they founded the Eleatic School of Philosophy, which, in the meaning here, relates to the founding of the Jedi Order (although that officially happens on Ossus). - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 07:56, September 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * I have suggestion with a faction. Are we only using the canon factions on Tython? If we are not, I like the idea of a Disciples of Being faction. They could be humans that are like monks and worship the land of Tython. They would live in very remote areas on forest Tython. They would be skilled in martial arts, use wooden sticks for weapons and channel their power of the force through the heavy life matter in the forest. --<font color=Red>Undersith <font color=#801818>(<font color=Black>IT"S A TRAP! ) <font color=#801818>(<font color=Black>Sith Happens ) 09:49, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

I like Brandon's ocean names. Seems fitting. By the way, would it be possible to make a sub-section of the Tython topic? My computer have incredible problems with working with as much text as this. Antonstaen (Talk) 12:56, September 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * I like the Sea of Aurora and the Velian Ocean. Deus Ocean just sounds weird to me. Unnatural, I guess, is what I am saying.-- I am the Chosen One Train me, I will bring balance...Archive 13:25, September 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't think we're to the factions yet Arav. Aurora sounds like a good name. Nuovo and Lumiere are my suggustions, with Nuovo meaning "new" in Italian and Lumiere meaning "light" in French. Ty294  {Talk}  13:32, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

List them in the Brandon/Tython thread under your name. Easier list to compile and reference.-- I am the Chosen One Train me, I will bring balance...Archive 13:35, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't like the sound of 'Aurora ocean'--I'd make it Avrora, which is 'Aurora' in Russian anyway. Deus Ocean sounds sucky too, but I do like Velia. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  13:37, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with everyone above that Voda sounds to much like Yoda, Marathon Sea just screams GREEK! and really doesn't sound right for Star Wars. Ty294  {Talk}  14:12, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

I do not like: Lumiere (reminds me of Lumiya), Sea of Tython (not original at all), and Marathon Sea (this is Star Wars, not the Olympics). Adding Tochso Sea. -- (Conference Room)  15:30, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't use Marathon. The last thing this project needs is an adoption of 300 (yes, the Spartans weren't at Marathon, but you get the point). --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 15:45, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Added Truhav, Bortom and Valtameri. See the page for their meaning. Antonstaen (Talk) 16:00, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, guys/girls, with 17 suggestions (more than enough), I think we should start the elimination process. I'd say about 4-5 oceans/seas would be sufficient. -- (Conference Room)  16:03, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * I vote against: Sea of Tython, Deus Ocean, Bortom and Raken (reminds me of Rakata and Rakghoul). BTW, someone should archieve the page, it's getting really slow. Ty294  {Talk}  16:20, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * I vote against: Sea of Tython, Deus Ocean, Bortom (Not that good, come to think about it) and Triton Ocean (Triton is already used in SW canon.) I agree, someone should arhive the page. Antonstaen (Talk) 16:27, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

I'd cross off everything other than Truhav, Velian Ocean, and the Sea of Aurora. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:32, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
