Infinities Idea: What if the StarForge was still around?

[HeavensThunderHammer]

First off, my apologies if this is the wrong place to post this.

This is an idea I've been tinkering around with in my head as the premise for a SW SagaEdition RPG game. It would be set anywhere near the end of the Clone Wars, Dark Times, Rebellion Era or maybe slightly post Endor.

The Premise is this: The Player Character's ship gets hit and their navcomputer goes out. They have to make a blind jump (or face certain death), and when they arrive, they're in a system is not in their nav computer, and they're looking at a fully functional Star Forge*.

Where would you go from here? or How would you use the Star Forge in a "modern" Star Wars game? What kind of stories (or fan fictions) would you like to tell?

*note: This is not necessarily the Star Forge that canonically Revan blew up in KOTOR 1. Also, while players may know what this is... I would not say "and you see the star forge" I'd simply give them a crappy hand drawing of it and describe that they see a "Space Station."

You might find this thread useful, it deals with a movie era Star Forge.

Thanks for that link, unfortunately I already read that thread and was thinking more along the lines of "Original Characters" and wanted to avoid the whole "BUT THE STARFORGE IS THIS BIG! YOUR ARGUMENT IS OF FAIL!" flamewar that ended up dominating the previous thread about the star forge.

Fair enough.

It would depend on the resourses and alignment of the character. If they are unaware of the Star Forge's capabilities, it would make a good hideout, provided that any ship crashing devices are taken care of. Really the Star Forge is useless without having enough infrastucture already behind you to crew the ships you are making, so a random smuggler, for instance, would have almost no use for it.


If I was to write a fanfiction centered around a modern Star Forge, it probably would be similalar to the story of KotOR, without a replacement for the whole "you are Revan"aspect. Also, a story centering on the Rebellion finding and being able to run a Star Forge, and while they start to push back the Empire, they are slowly being corrupted, especially the Force user running it, which I might have be Luke, just to shake things up, and either focusing on the Imperial's hunt for it, or a small band of rebels who realize the corrupting power of the Star Forge and try to destoy it.
