Changes: Grand Army of the Republic

Revision as of 17:24, 5 March 2011

The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) is a Star Wars roleplaying group in Second Life.

History

From humble beginnings

The Grand Army of the Republic was founded on May 15th 2005 by Yuri Fonzarelli and Koukla Twilight.

The armor was constructed by Commander Fonzarelli in a shop named ACNE Co, At that time Yuri had no idea of what he had accidentally created - The armor of what would become the largest army in Second Life!

Soon clones gathered at ACNE and Yuri had no choice but to create a group for these armor buyers to communicate - and the Grand Army of the Republic was born!

In the early days the GAR was homeless and used to spend time camping in combat sims around SL, however with growing numbers the Commanders decided to allow the Clones to use ACNE as their temporary home whilst a more permanent home could be found. It was at this stage the first clone council was formed, 5 Shock troopers were appointed them being, Keith Daguerre, Stillpink sandgrain, Amanda Black Marth Rocco, and the only one still in GAR Seargent Hedges

The era of Hughes

New land was then acquired in a sim called Hughes, GAR flourished in Hughes and numbers grew, Hughes served the GAR well, however GAR soon outgrew the land and GAR was forced to move to a larger area

A Shock Trooper named Marth Rocco purchased a sim which he called Coruscant and GAR moved to the sim, however Marth became greedy and power hungry, the GAR refused to bow to his demands and he left the group taking GAR’s home with him.

The era of Agirus

The next stage was to move to a sim called Agirus, GAR quickly bought up a lot of land in the sim and the engineers built a fine base. Again numbers of clone troopers grew to record breaking levels and high levels of activity were a regular thing

Again due to some disagreements between members, this land was lost…

The GAR moved back to its former home in ACNE were it regrouped from the blow of again losing its home and headquarters.

Cakhmaim

Main article: Bakura

Then came the beginning of a new era for GAR, we arrived in Cakhmaim, the base is owned by the GAR group and not any one individual, therefore the land is safe from SL politics and will be the long term home of the Grand Army for the foreseeable future!
