I like the idea of placing a good portion of RID's roleplayers into a single storyline. With that being said, should there not be a vote or at least a forum first? Roleplayers are a very diverse population. Obviously, not everyone can do whatever they want, but they should at least be able to influence the story out of character before it begins.
Why not make an actual roleplay division instead of the "826th Stormtrooper Corps?" Yes, start out with the "826th" but in a pre-determined amount of time change the story or add a new element. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of stormtrooper roleplay but I could do it for a month or two if it was with RID. Eventually, I'm just not going to want to play a stormtrooper anymore. The glory of roleplay is that you can be who you want to be at that moment. In real life, I'm a college student and everyday I am a college student, same name, same classes, same everything. I would not want to go in game and be TK-768 everyday.
Perhaps you are completely set with stormtrooper roleplay, then occasionally throw an event that would allow outside roleplayers to participate as rebels, criminals, and the like. At least then the story would change and members of RID would feel united in a single (roleplay) cause.
