What is a replicant?

Every day people die or get injured, they clone or seek bacta repair with their memories intact (usually) and move on. The replicants are people that have been treated in corrupted cloning/bacta facilities and have sleeper agent instructions implanted in to them. At any point they may be "awakened" subconsciously and do the bidding of their masters.

Its like an infection. Replicants have instructions to kill and "process" other people and then return them to their lives ASAP. Over time the replicants have people inside of every organization necessary to accomplish a task. As people become aware of the ramifications of the situation, trust becomes a rare commodity.

A person can be reverted back to normal by being killed or severely thrashed and cycled through an uncorrupted cloning/bacta center.

Malfunctions

From time to time there are malfunctions that cause two copies of a person to be present (in the case of cloning). I don't present any elaborate explanations for this, but sightings of this are visual confirmation that something is afoot.

The Original Event

There was a replicant war in 2004 that I ran. A force sensitive by the name of Coiyonite Adaks (was permadeathed at the end) served the Emperor by pledging to deliver Lok without resistance. Lok was to become a massive mining colony in order to facilitate the expedited completion of a new Imperial battle station.

The replicant technology was employed to control Lok and make it look like that the local factions were completely open to mining the planet hollow. Nym, his stronghold and much of the controlling factions were replicants during the event. They were cleansed by their own slaughter and in the days that followed they cycled back out of Nym's illegal cloning chambers without the subconscious presence that made them replicants to begin with.

Replication is considered an Imperial technology but information on it has been relegated to the rumor mill.

OOC Information

This event, in the scope of Star Wars effects mainly Lok and Tatooine with some action in the surrounding planets. Mainly places with illegal cloning facilities are prone to such exploitation. Another reason the Emperor will have nothing of this in the core worlds.

Replicants are chosen. You can't just declare yourself one. There is a strict control protocol in place for the selection and induction of a person as a replicant in to this story arc. The person controlling the replicant population is not Jabe and is not necessarily me. For this reason I am not OOC-aware of who all of the replicants are (although I know of a couple).

Replicants in this event are known to hear a collective set of voices. They don't necessarily know who other replicants are. The information they need comes to them when its needed and it feels instinctive most times.

If you are interested in being a replicant DO NOT post about it or tell your friends. smile

The event is running with the idea that the replicant conspiracy will not be designed to benefit any single group. The replicants are self serving.

The event is being run by several gamemasters (one of which is me). People who feel they have methods that can change the course of the event are free to post about them. Currently the progress is being strictly controlled until there is enough internal balance to allow the discovery process begin. <- What I am saying is that there is no good way to uncover the replicants at this moment. But the RP tools necessary to progress the event will be rewarded as time goes by.

There are Imperials that had been involved in the last event. Imperials will be involved again. In the last event they were involved in protecting the replicant facilities and even used the replicants to obtain their own mutual goals. However: At this time no one knows what the intention of the current replicants are or if they have contacted the Empire as of yet.

There is only one certainty: the replicants are acting on obsolete orders from dead leaders. Whatever they are up to, its probably extremely dangerous.

Canon

Not everyone likes the concept. For that reason myself and the other are making our best effort to be non-invasive. The "funeral" was an idea that probably should have been discussed more and I am aware that it has f**ed up other RP. I don't intend to repeat that.

Alright, this sounds much more believable than the information I was first given.

Actually, I might have my entire storyline from it saved. It won't help much with what others perceived the events to be like. And it may draw unwanted attention from Imperials. But oh well. I'll look when I get home. If you want me to repost it I will.

Well, its more of a personal story about E-bo's involvement and it spanned multiple threads and characters. But I will send it to you.
