Idea # 1
~~~~~~~
Okay, so we have a lone archeologist out doing research on a barren rock. His work is leading him nowhere, and he has almost no funding. Then, out of the blue, he stumbles across the ancient remains of a Rakata warehouse, and in there finds the only existing plans to the Star Forge, though he only assumes this device to be some kind of resource gatherer, and not the giant factory we all know.
So, he takes his findings and goes public with them. Noone's willing to give him any support, including the modern-day Sith. The only offer he has is some third-rate business practioner with no history. The archaeologist is tired of fooling with it, so he sells the designs to said businessman... unaware that he's put them in the hands of a potential Sith Lord.
From there, it's basically KoToR all over again. Sith Lord builds new Star Forge, then starts conquering the galaxy Old Skool style. Jedi and the Galactic Alliance have to find some way to bring his forces down, and we basically gimmik off of KoToR.

Idea # 2
~~~~~~~~~
This RP is based off the Infinities Universe, a series of comics telling the alternate timeline story of "What Would've Happened If Vader and Luke Joined up to Kill the Emperor."
Basic story is, Luke takes Vader up on his offer, and they both strike down the Emperor. Together, they then command the Imperial Fleet, and crush the rebel forces there, before beginning a hunt to track down all the surving rebels.
Meanwhile, various Imperials who were loyal to Palpatine splinter off away from the Empire, forming their own little fiefdoms (among them, various persona such as Admiral Teradoc, Sate Pestage, Reborn Emperor, Isaard, etc.) in rebellion against the New New Order. Oh, and we also have Mara Jade, and this time she's actually right about how the Emperor died.
Yes, it would take Canon characters. But, we'd also choose them a lot more carefully. Out of ten applicants for Darth Vader, we'd only choose the best one.
What we do: RP what could've happened, if Luke became Vader's apprentice, and went on to conquer the galaxy.

Idea # 3
~~~~~~~~~
Galactic Civil War.
The basic idea, is a side-story of various battles and such that went on around the time of the movies, but weren't actually part of them (or necesarily canon).
For instance, take Planet A, which decides to rebel against the local Moff. The Empire cracks down hard, and sends a Star Destroyer to pacify the planet and make a permanant garrison on the planet. Meanwhile, the rebels hear about what's going on, and do their best to free the planet from the Imperial yoke.
In essence, what it boils down to is a more militaristic-style RP, where we actually roleplay entire campaigns on various worlds, and make exstensive use of individual planets, and spend more time on each planet, instead of travelling back and forth. The combat is focused more on Empire versus Rebels, on a smaller scale, in more minor conflicts, and has practically no Force Users at all.

Idea # 4
~~~~~~~~~
Galactic Civil War-era. Basically, the premise of the RP is everyone roleplaying what went on between Episodes 4 and 6, all the various battles and stuff.
The catch? No canon characters. All of our characters are original, and can only make references to canon characters.
For example, you have Imperial Admiral John, who's under orders by Darth Vader to hunt down rebels in the Outer Rims. Then you have Commander Jack, opposite him, who's on a secret mission for Mon Mothma to help look for a new rebel base. Etc.
And it wouldn't be limited to Imps and Rebels only. You'd also have various Dark Side Adepts under Palpatine, and for those of you who want to be a lightsider, a few Jedi-in-exile, or untrained force users.

Idea # 5
~~~~~~~
In celebration of the upcoming Old Republic game, we do an RP that's roughly based on it.
The premise: insert the Sith King, who's survived from the Sith Wars of Exar Kun, biding his time in the Outer Regions forming his True Sith Empire (the same one that Kreia alludes to in KoToR2). He recruits various other dark siders, builds some armies and ships, and sets out to conquer the galaxy and finish the work that the other Sith Lords failed.
Against him, you have the Republic, finally recovered from the First Jedi Purge, the Jedi Civil War, and the Mandalorian War, led by the reformed Jedi Order. It's their job to stave off the invasion, and depending on their skill and posts, either stop it, or die trying.
As for material, we'd just use ships and weps and stuff found in the KoToR era. Kolto, sith war droids, etc.

Idea # 6
~~~~~~~~
As suggested by another guildmember, a roleplay discussing the fate of Revan and the Jedi Exile, and what became of them.
This would serve more as a precursor to Idea # 5, and would take liberties with the story, as well as requiring canon characters, particularly Revan and the Exile.

Idea # 7
~~~~~~~
New Sith Wars. This roleplay would take place during one of the various wars that took place prior to the rise of Darth Bane and the Seventh Battle of Ruusan. It would discuss the Sith brotherhood, the Army of Light, as well as the events that eventually led to the establishment of the Rule of Two and the Jedi Reformation.

Idea # 8
~~~~~~~~
The classical treasure hunt. Something of great power/knowledge/secrets has re-surfaced in the galaxy and its power/knowledge/secrets can tip the balance to one faction’s side, possible making victory/freedom/conquest possible. It’s now the job of the pc’s to acquire it before their rivals do.
This idea also allows players to make characters that work for either the good, the bad and the out for themselves sides or factions that populate the galaxy at any given time era.
