Galactic Republic Ideas
'''These ideas are best for people who work for or with the Galactic Republic. Many can also be adapted to any planetary authority!'''

[senate]

Tramp Freighter Ideas
'''You and your gang of scruffy-looking nerf herders making your way in the Galaxy get into some trouble. Here you go!'''

[traders]

Generic Ideas
'''Okay, these ideas are super, super, super generic, and some are definitely going to come out strange! The whole purpose of these is to give you just the very faintest outline of events so that you can incorporate things from your own roleplay or events on the MU* into this framework. '''

Scene Plan
Here is a quick list of the scenes you should have for your plot:


 * Scene 1: The problem is introduced, along with some speculations about how to resolve it.
 * Scene 2: The characters get involved in the problem and an unexpected threat emerges.
 * Scene 3: The characters resolve the unexpected threat and either solve or make headway on the original problem.

Plot Complications
'''Want to have more than three scenes? Pick some of these plot complications.''' If the complication is a minor setback, you can introduce and resolve it in a single scene. If it's a major complication, you should lay out 1-3 scenes for introducing, involving the characters, and resolving it. These can overlap with the above 3 scenes of course.
