Ship Captain Request for Zonama Sekot

The Zonama Sekot authorities are looking for freighter ship captains to carry medical and other supplies to Nar Shaddaa.

As reward, the captains will be alllowed to refuel for free and to undock and sell tax free the cargo they brought at their arrival on Zonama Sekot.
The cargo will be kept one month for free in the warehouse to be sold at the local market price and the credits will transfered on the account of the captain as soon as the good delivery of the supplies on Nar Shaddaa is confirmed.

For general information, Zonama Sekot is likely to import technological goods (droids, power cells, holographic devices, etc.)

Contact Salene Lusch in Zonama Sekot if you're interested.

Asteroid Field Exploring

We have evidence about something odd in the asteroid field near Zonama Sekot. Please all pilot start exploring it and get used to flying through asteroids.

What is hiding in this asteroid field?

Rules: take a ship on the ground or the air base, enable CCC and fly up to 1500m without breaking. For now it's just training. We'll do an event there later. Have fun.

Opening Zonama Sekot to other Combat Systems

Hello, in the next days, we'll open Zonama Sekot to other Combat systems (CS) simultaneously. As the CS just an help to RP, but doesn't replace the RP itself, I hope it will be smooth.

The purpose is to help the contact with all the other good SWRP groups and places, which is in my plans since a good while ago.

The rules will soon be updated to take it in account, trying to mitigate the following principles

• No one will be forced to buy a CS to RP (even if some  combat situations may require a paying CS)
• To prevent confusion with their alts and with OOC visitors having not read the rules, people will still be encouraged to wear at least a titler.
• The defender rule will apply; the one being attacked will choose the mean to resolve the conflict (FFC, CS and which one). Notice the sim is the home of the Potentium Knights and the Rangers and they will be likely defenders on attack against the environment
• For being supported a combat system should have no level or be used at the least level.

Feel free to foward me any comments you could have.

Lanya's Birthday (The film)

Lanya's birthday (part 2)

Lanya's birthday (part 1)

Lanya, the little Ferroan girl living on our island on
Zonama Sekot, had her birthday today. She's now
10 years old and so she's getting old enough to get more
responsibility in the future.

Many of her friends were there to party with her. She
received a lot of gifts and she was more then happy that

this important day was remembered by so many people.

The Potentium Followers

The basic precepts of the Potentium may have been influenced by the morally relativistic and solipsistic philosophy espoused by Jedi Master Phanius around 2,000 BBY.

The Potentium was theorized in 132 BBY. At the time the Potentium were expelled from the Jedi, Leor Hal was their leader. Prior to their expulsion, Hal had recruited many students from prospective Jedi among the aristrocratic families of Coruscant and Alderaan.

Sekot, the intelligence of the planet Zonama Sekot, accepted Potentium after its awakening, when it was colonized by some of the outcast followers under Hal. The colonists felt Zonama Sekot was proof of the Potentium philosophy, and Sekot eventually came to consider itself the protector of the Force (though as some derisively pointed out, this protectorship was self-appointed). Vergere, an Old Republic Jedi who was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong, was believed to have taken this as one of the contributing factors in her teachings, although contradicting the Potentiate's main edicts of evil being nonexistent.

Following the expulsion of Leor Hal, Jedi Masters Qui-Gon Jinn and Mace Windu had a run-in with a group of Potentium apprentices.

Although many believed that Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order practiced this belief after the Yuuzhan Vong War through Jacen Solo's insistence, it was actually closer to the philosophy of Gray Jedi as stated by Grand Master Skywalker himself after the Liberation of Coruscant. Near the end of the Swarm War, the New Jedi Order resumed the more orthodox light side and dark side approach.

The potentium believes

Counter to millennia of Jedi teachings, the followers of Potentium claimed that there was no inherent evil in viewing the Force. They claimed that what others called the light side of the Force was actually just the Force itself, which is inherently good. This was backed up by the fact that Ashla, the ancient name of the Force, came later to describe the light side. What others therefore called the dark side was a perversion of the Force, twisted by those who used it. Believers of Potentium said that the potential for light and dark sides resided in the user, not the Force itself. They also thought that the Jedi Masters refused to believe in the Potentium view because it would mean the Jedi were not needed to fight evil, for evil would not exist. And since there was no dark side, there were no dark side actions or Force techniques; in effect any action, good or evil, could be performed without risk as long as the intent was not evil. Some Jedi theorized that the Potentium may have originated as a Sith scheme to subvert Jedi teachings.

About a century before the Battle of Naboo, the followers of Potentium were expelled from the Jedi Order, parallel to the Jedi Order's treatment of Gray Jedi as "misguided." Yoda and the rest of the Jedi High Council did not consider them Dark Jedi, but they said it was the duty of the Jedi to use the Force to protect others, not study its absolute limits. The Council said that testing the Force to its limits would lead to the dark side.

It should be noted that some followers of the Potentium still attempted to avoid the dark side. They, however, saw the dark side as something within themselves to be avoided, not something in the Force. They reasoned that if the Force was the energy that flows through all life, the dark side simply came from the corruption of humanity. They felt that if they could be perfectly moral, they could be immune to the dark side and therefore use any technique they wanted. This view is somewhat similar to the Unifying Force theory of the Force.

Potentium Knights Ideology

These notes are the basic ideological theories of the potentium Knight Order.

we are not jedi
we are not sith
we are neither light nor dark
we are the potentium knights.

our core belief is that the force is a whole not disected into lightness and dark, there are no grey area's of the force the force just is.

We believe that it is the being that is light or dark, good or evil the force has no effect other than giving the user more powers to use as they have been trained by their predoceesors.

In the case of the jedi they restrict thereselves to defensive force use and close themselves off to their emotions, closing out half of the force, which is why the sith can easily creep upon them, because the jedi do not see all, having said this the jedi are good willed and the first guideline of the potentium is we will always stand by our brothers in the force when they require our aid.

The sith being the opposite to the jedi are restricted to the power of dark emotion, controlled by their emotions and greed again closing themselves off to half of the force which is why the jedi always have the possibility of destroying the sith forever.

But this is the conundrum of the orders, the jedi cannot see the sith plans because they are not at one with the force, yet they have the power to destroy the sith forever because the sith as they are not at one with the entire force either.
But the jedi cannot attack because they are restricted by thir order to defensive movements.

This is the gap that has been left, by the two old orders, and this is where the Potentium Knights fit.

We are at one with the entire force the sith cannot hide from us and we will attack the sith to defend the peace, the potentium knights are the defenders of the force.

As said at the beginning of this scripture these are the basics, please speak to a potentium master to discuss these ideologies further.
