| I would like to request in advance so that I could rp all this in order. This experiment would happen only after Animus is done with the "SuperSoldier" experiment, that is if it gets approved. This Inquisitor would be working on developing a weapon that is capable of neutralizing the Force powers, so that the Jedi fugitives or Force cults wouldn't be able to use the Force against the Inquisitorus or simply any stormtroopers. It would make capturing a Force user a lot easier, than having to kill them. It works a lot like a stun weapon. Unlike the ysalamir, which simply repel the Force powers, the weapon will neutralize the Force powers temporarily. It would probably last a good while, how much effects it has on a Force user will vary. It can range from a couple of minutes to a couple of hours. I think this would put an interesting twist into AGW. This would give those who don't use the Force an advantage in an one-on-one combat, rather than piling up numbers to defeat a Force user.

| I've a few concerns about this one, moreso than your other request. The first thing that jumps out at me is this snippet: "This Inquisitor would be working on developing a weapon that is capable of neutralizing the Force powers, so that the Jedi fugitives or Force cults wouldn't be able to use the Force against the Inquisitorus or simply any stormtroopers. It would make capturing a Force user a lot easier, than having to kill them." Is it safe to assume, then, that you are planning on mass-producing these weapons? And giving them to Stormtroopers, that's something I'm having trouble agreeing with. If a Jedi can have the Force completely stolen from him; rendering him little more than a poor guy with a laser sword but no Force to help him use it, how does that give him any chance in combat? Especially since he's now more-than-likely out-gunned by a significant margin. Also, how exactly does this device work? From what I can see you've made no mention of its design and operation.

| I'm sorry if I wasn't really clear on this. I didn't mean for this experiment to be permanent, it would just be like another experiment I've requested. This would only last for two or three attacks before a Jedi or a group of rebels figure out a way to put an end to the project. Well, it would be natural for Animus to want to mass-produce these weapons, should they work. But no, because this is in experimental stage, there would only be three or four Force-neutralizing weapons available. I should have said device instead of weapon, it'd be make more sense. The Force-neutralizing device, if successful, would be able to mount on all Imperial weapons. For now, in the experimental stage, it would be attached to four E-11 blaster rifles. The rifles would be modified to have a small button on it that can switch between regular laser fire and Force-neutralizing effects. When fired, it would look like an energy coming out of the rifle. It has a blue glow, looks like plasma. The device looks like this:  It's the red thing attached on the top of P90. Like I said, the experiment will only last for two or three attacks before a Jedi or a band of rebels figures out how to put a stop to it and effectively destroy the laboratory. Because the SuperSoldier experiment comes first, I assume that laboratory would be destroyed. Around this time, Animus would have moved to a different laboratory. One that has much more defenses due to the potential of the weapon/device. Perhaps the laboratory would be on somewhere like Korriban, with more stormtropers and auto-turret defenses.

| Thank you for that explanation. I think what Karth was inquiring about, though, and certainly what I'm interested in too, is not really the mechanics of the weapon but, rather, what it is about it that's causing Force powers to be diminished (i.e. what exactly is happening to these Force powers? How is this being accomplished?). I know none of us are scientists, so it doesn't have to be too complicated, but "a weapon that neutralizes the Force," without explaining how it neutralizes the Force, is a bit vague. The Ysalamiri, for example, have an explanation of how exactly it works with them, from Wookieepedia: "Ysalamiri did not actually negate the Force; since all existence was infused with Force energy, this would not be possible. Rather, they projected a Force bubble inside which it was completely neutral and unable to exert any influence." Other Force-related experiments have also gone into a bit more detail, such as the Imperial Remnant's attempt on Kejim to infuse subjects with the Force using "Artusian crystals," which are described as having Force properties. These are examples of the sort of explanation I'd prefer to see on this request, if it's not too much trouble.

| That, and the fact that Korriban is off-limits in AGW.

| Oh, yes. Thank you. Rule 1.11 does specifically list Korriban as one of the planets that's considered off-limits in the RP. There's just been far too much abuse of this planet in the past. Sorry.

| Again I will postpone my 'vote' until some issues are cleared up. One question that I do have to add into the mix of already valuable information is this: There has been no mention as to how long the effectiveness of the weapon would be, or how long would the subject be subdued? Vote: PENDING

| To answer Jory's question...because the weapon is in the development stage, the effects will vary. Some can be subdued for only a couple of minutes. Some can be subdued for as long as ten minutes. To answer both Karth and Jace's question...it’s complicated, but with Animus’ blood sample, himself and the scientists would find something in DNA in relation to Force sensitivity. They would manage to find a way to isolate that particular chromosome, thus developing a way to separate this particular chromosome from the rest of DNA for a limited time. That’s what lead Animus to developing a Force-neutralizing weapon, and is able to “stun” the Jedi and other Force users for a limited period of time. Since it's forbidden to use Korriban, I was thinking of using Dxun instead. It would make things even more interesting with all the creatures around and the Mandalorians that might not take kindly to Imperial presence on the planet.

| Ok, I am going to shock my fellow Managers with this. I think that all the questions have been answered satisfactorily so here we go. Vote: APPROVE

| For the sake of moving things along, I'm going to go ahead and APPROVE this request on the condition that this stun is temporary. I'd like perhaps a more concrete length of time for said stun to be active in a real-world aspect, perhaps a certain number of posts before the effect wears off?

| I think thats a fair point Karth. Perhaps we whould hold off on a formal approval until we determine the exact length of time.

| All right, Darwin, time's up. Since it's been five days and you've yet to address what Carson and I've asked, I'm going to close this request in the interest of keeping the board free of clutter. Bear in mind that you're allowed to re-post a new request, but I ask that if you do so you take into account what's been discussed here already and try to be more clear with your explanations. As such, this request is: (CLOSED)
