For those who came in late; (gratuitous Phantom reference)
The Mandalorians arrived in fighters and sought to negotiate with a representative of Coruscant's government.
These talks took place at Monument Plaza between Colonel Jaing Australis, and some Admiral bloke...
The Mandos made some offers, the Admiral made some counteroffers, back and forth, until the talks broke down.
Then then Mandos started making trouble, fired missiles at the exterior of the indestructible Senate Building. These fighters then flew off towards the Jedi Temple. Also, Ambassador Londo Mollari arrived with a Mandalorian Fleet, at two orbital points on opposite sides of the world, and began making explanations of the situation to Coruscant Control.
What is not known publicly unlike the first two actions is at the same time, Australis Clan Commandos under the command of Colonel Canderous, secured the 500 Republica building and took the inhabitants as hostages. There are 400 commandos in the building, and another 1100 scattered around the area between the Senate, Jedi Temple and 500 Republica. These commandos were delivered by smuggler vessels, and have gone out of their way not to collect in groups, so the presence of hundreds or thousands of Mandalorians wouldn't be apparent to just anyone.
The action as it stands is currently paused, so that we can fill out concurrently running parts of the story, there will be an SL in the building with the hostages, one in the air, one in the Jedi Temple, etc.
Note that the Mandos are not invading the planet, we haven't brought nearly enough troops or ships for that. Essentially what we're doing is more of a terrorist action, which may or may not be officially sanctioned by Mandalore.
One last thing.
The SL of a Mandalorian attack at Korriban that we had on JvS a few months ago was damaged in places by certain people involving themselves in the RP via use of OOC information, or by very flimsy IC reasons. The same will not be allowed to happen here. Those wishing to involve themselves on the Jedi side should show courtesy by speaking to the lead Jedi-aligned people in this situation; Varro Calistarious, Dav Man'Sell, Raven Alora. Those wishing to involve themselves on the Mandalorian side should show courtesy by contacting me, or simply being around and ready to fight when word is given.
This is not to say that all are not welcome, far from it. I am simply putting notice that simply showing up and throwing yourself into the RP will be treated with the strictest scrutiny in terms of applying the rules governing the separation of IC and OOC.
