Manaan Under Water Stronghold

Recommended Posts

After playing the Manaan flashpoint it got me thinking that we could really use a under water stronghold, I was thinking that it should have two levels a upper level which consists of surface above the water where you can station your personal starships, and a underground level, where you can station a submarine with the surrounding marine life swimming around your glass interiors

 

Here are some ideas for strongholds:

And look at this indoor under water patio:

Here is what an under water bedroom would look like:

Manaan would definitely work for Strongholds? Why not you even get the Submersible as a Speeder :p

 

I for one would love to see a Manaan Stronghold. It's as plausible as any other.

 

And sure you've got the "crushing depth's" to worry about...

 

In the Flashpoint you escape in the very same looking submersible, so overall very possible:

Plus Manaan being a neutral world - Highly possible they'd outfit it to high buying customers.

 

Tis a trade world after all.

The only trade is on the surface. You need special permissions to go below a certain depth. They closed off the world long ago to outsiders and only recently opened up that one city above to trade with the galaxy to aid themselves. They're not going to allow the galaxy to suddenly "move in" and build homes all over the place.

Yes, but its all the same building, so its only 1 home really. Not unreasonable to get permission for that.

You do realize that there are, lore wise, only eight characters in SWTOR? i.e. there aren't ten thousand members of the Dark Council, or untold legions of Cipher Nines, or half a million smugglers who took the Esseles to Coruscant?

 

i.e. They wouldn't have to allow a galaxy to move in, they would only have to allow eight people to build a private stronghold at (presumably significant) cost.

 

Otherwise, how is is possible for thousands of people to have EXACT same view of Kaas City as I do? ;)

To foster diplomatic relations with both Empire and Republic (and maybe to help keep tabs on their actions), the Manaan government has decided to allow a few prominent members of each faction to establish apartments on designated "Offworlder housing" platforms on the planet. Or something to that effect.

 

A Manaan stronghold makes at least as much sense as Voss, and more sense than Makeb.

Lore wise, Manaan would not work for Strongholds.... however... if you were to say.. make it on the Mon Cal/Quarren home world.. that might be better.

 

Sure it would. Manaan economy is hurting, so they start to sell real estate alongside their Kolto business.

Well i think it would be a poor investment to buy property on Alderaan...

 

 

High tax rate is the least of Alderaans future problems! ;)

 

 

Well that doesn't happen for a few years so I still would like to live on Alderaan and then close tie would be Manaan.

 

(Note: Even with what happens to Alderran it is still better than living on Tattoine! The heat and all that dust? No Thank you! Lol)

What a fantastic idea, that could actually work.

They could include a SH if they create new content for the next chapter when they include a new planet, and your suggestion seems plausible and not lore-breaking.

 

I think having a surface and a underwater level would benefit everyone, sure Manaan might not be possible because of the lore behind it without breaking it, but Dac or Kamino would be possible, besides there are plenty of water worlds in the star wars universe.

/agree

 

It would seem the only possible water worlds that are available in the star wars universe would be:

-Manaan

-Dac

-Kamino

 

Now if Bioware was able to somehow make it possible for either of these worlds to have strongholds, then I think this would benefit everyone, sure when it comes to Manaan there is a lore to consider, but I would gladly pay extra to get either one of these in the near future.
