Since I’m slowly reworking the classic SW-LotR Cross game, I’ve decided to overhaul the cultures.
Right now, I’ve got:
Light Side
Fringe
Jedi
Rebel
Republic
Dark Side
Creature
Dark Jedi
Empire
Fringe
Separatist
Yuuzhan Vong
Now, obviously, I need one or two more Light Side cultures. Initially, I considered adding New Republic - but I’m hesitant. New Republic is basically Rebels + a few years, which would make the cultures more-or-less the same. A good option would be Old Republic, but - again - I’m not too sure.
A Cloud City culture isn’t required, as that would be a subculture in Fringe. Some kind of ’Smuggler’ culture would also be Fringe. Gungans will be Republic and Ewoks will be Rebel.
So, my question to you is this: What’s a good-sized ’good’-oriented organization/group that would make a decent culture? I just can’t think of anything... |

I’m no Star Wars junkie, but maybe Wookie?  |

| Eh... similar problem with Wookiee. Some of them will fall into Republic, most into Rebel, and a few into Fringe. They aren’t a ’galactic power’. |

New republic is different than the rebels by a mile, but I don’t think that a new culture would be necessary. I’ve only read one book after the star wars 6ology thingy, so I don’t know too much, but the Creature culture could also have a light side variant like with the  culture. Other than that though, I really don’t see the light side as having many more cultures because there weren’t many more factions that were "good". |

I’d love to make creatures a LS culture as well, but can you name one ’creature’ (and by creature I mean ’non sentient being’) that joined Luke on any kind of quest? I sure can’t; the only creatures I think of were mindless harriers of Good.
I suppose you’re right that I really don’t need another LS culture... but one more would make things a lot better. It would give a player a lot more choices. |

Mm. Maybe Droid, a la Artoo and Threepio? |

| As I said before, I don’t know of much Expanded universe. BTW, are you using the newer star wars or old stuff like clones, or even older stuff like Revan and Malak. |

Droid is possible, but unfortunately I think it’s the same issue as Wookiee - droids make up parts of various groups, but don’t have their own command structure or power. They aren’t really connected to each other or anything.
I hate shooting down ideas. Do you think Old Republic wound work all right? |

I’m going all over the place. That’s why I think I’ll go with Old Republic. Revan, Malak, and Nihilus are all covered in Dark Jedi, but their rivals have nowhere in the game yet.
All right, you got me. lol. I suppose I need to get an Old Republic culture. |

I think old republic would be awesome. You could have a light side and dark side revan.
So, with old republic you would have jedi and such in it? or would it just be guys like the rakatan and republic troopers and droids and other aliens?
BTW, Menace do you consider the Rakatan to be on the good or evil side? |
