RPCS Manual

The Rakata Power Combat System (RPCS) launched in our simulation in August 2026 in beta mode. The Force HUD (Heads-Up Display) interface had existed since 2009. At that time, FCRS creator Cindy Kellner granted limited access to her system and released "no-mod" scripts, allowing any capable developer to create their own HUDs for FCRS. We were among the few to seize this opportunity—with valuable assistance from an SL scripter named Uber Rosca—and created our own. The new concept for this FCRS-based HUD involved a "Mass Attack" feature; while this deviated from official canon, it made combat far more spectacular and dramatic. Unfortunately, once FCRS ceased operations, further development of our Rakata Power HUD became impossible. But, as the saying goes, ideas never die. After years of using other systems, some players expressed a desire to revive FCRS or create a new system based on a rank hierarchy. That is exactly what we did—this time, entirely with the help of AI. The base script was created under my close supervision using Grok. At one point, Grok refused—yes, that can happen—to create a version linked to a server-side database. Development continued with ChatGPT, Gemini (which optimized the script, though perhaps too radically), and finally, the paid version of Claude. By early September 2026, a beta version for melee combat was operational, featuring rewritten Force HUD scripts and a health regeneration add-on (known as "bacta"). It took me two weeks of spare time after work to create it. I can't say it was easy—after all, I'm not a scripter—but thanks to AI, it turned out to be possible, and our RPCS is now up and running. A description of the system and its key features follows below. Every notecard handed out in world, in one place. Newest changes are at the top of each card.

RPCS 3.3 — CITIZENS AND THE COURTS

For players who do not want to join an order, and for the officers who

have to deal with what happens to them.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PICK A SIDE

Not everyone on Lehon is a Sith, a Jedi or a mercenary. Some people run

a shop, fly cargo, drink in the cantina and want nothing to do with anyone's war. Ask an officer to register you as Unaffiliated. You get the rank Citizen, a proper name in your tag, and you are in the system like everyone else. You are simply not in anybody's chain of command. What you get Solid defence — you are not a walking target Enough Force to resist sleep, hold or poison three times over Almost no offence — a citizen is not a threat to anyone What you do not get Promotion. There is no rank above Citizen, because there is nobody above you. If you want to rise, you join an order. That is the trade.

ATTACKING A CIVILIAN IS RECORDED

The moment a registered player deals damage to a citizen in Roleplaying

mode, the system files a report. Every officer of every order receives it — online or not — naming the attacker, their order, the victim, and the exact time. Nobody has to witness it. Nobody has to be believed. The record exists. This does not happen in Training mode. Citizens spar on equal terms there like everybody else, and nothing is filed.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS ROLEPLAY

The system reports. It does not punish. What follows is entirely in

your hands. An officer whose own member attacked a civilian now has a decision to make, and it is a real one: Ignore it. Perfectly valid — the Sith are not known for protecting shopkeepers. But every other order received the same report, and they will remember who did nothing. Discipline internally. Demote, fine, make them answer for it in front of the council. Shows your order has standards. Hand them over. Let another faction try them. Expensive in pride, cheap in trouble. Defend them publicly. Say the civilian had it coming. Then be ready to argue it, because the report says otherwise. Call a court. Any officer can convene one. Bring the record, bring witnesses, let the accused speak. This is where the best scenes come from.

FOR CITIZENS

You are not helpless and you are not invisible. If someone puts hands

on you, it is written down, and officers who have never met you will read it. That does not make you safe. It makes you inconvenient to murder — and in a place like Lehon, that is worth more. If you want protection beyond that, the usual way is to ask for it. Orders take clients, and clients owe favours. That is a story too.

FOR OFFICERS

Reports arrive whether you want them or not, from every order. Reading

them is optional. Ignoring them has consequences, because everyone else read the same line. A word of warning: a citizen who is hunted for sport stops logging in, and a sim of nothing but Sith fighting Sith gets thin very quickly. The people who make a world feel inhabited are the ones not carrying a saber.
