In the Legacy era, things are drastically different, but yet the same. Again, the Galactic Empire attempts to raise itself as it always does. Tables are turned, friends are betrayed; no one can be trusted anymore. One last attempt to get rid of the hatred,one last chance to get rid of the lingering Republic; it was to be the largest battle, and hopefully the last. But the wars had waged on for too long, lives being lost for petty reasons. Civil wars, slaughtering of innocents, it was going to end. Just not the way anyone planned. All the mightiest of warships were gathered, the battle space being held over Coruscant. The sky upon Coruscant lit up red and green and other colors, the sun becoming blocked out by the fleets. Both sides taking brutal damage, but then it became quiet. Some thought they had gone deaf, some thought they were just in shock. Then, some sort of light, an indescribable color, and then there was nothing. In an instant, the sound, the environment, everything came back. It was a rush, freaking everyone out. Explosions, everywhere. Fighters and ships, one after another, suddenly imploding for no reason. Some tried to retreat, but it didn't matter. Then the planet of Coruscant, its surface going up in flames and smoke, its cities destroyed. There was no where to run.

It didn't just happen on Coruscant. Major Jedi's, Sith, Imperial Soldiers and bases, Rebel soldiers and bunkers, all erupting or catching fire.Not only the Empire or Republic were affected either. Any and all major military's were annihilated. Some leaving behind ruin or just charred remains of what once was. The war had ended, for everyone.

The year is 47 ABY, almost 8 years after the last war and the annihilation of major military's and organizations. What remains is little, the most that remains is the older military technology dating back to around 10 ABY and earlier. The technology of this galaxy had been pushed backwards in time, and anyone who held schematics or information on newer technology could be seen as a god among men, for they would have the power to dominate the battlefronts. The Republic, major hutt rulings, the Empire, they were all gone. Very, very few survived. Perhaps less than 5% of each survived. For the Jedi, only Padawans live. The Sith, or Dark Jedi, it is unknown. Several planets turned to dust and desert.... uninhabitable, worthless, unbreathable and perhaps even dangerous.

What will happen now? Technically considered included as an Infinity era, this time time takes place after the beginning of the Legacy era, but the most common technology being almost set back to the battle of Yavin. This does not discontinue newer technology, but it is exceedingly hard to find. Most say that Imperial and Republic remnants hold the last remaining data for what was considered 'current' technology, or at least, military technology. Will new organizations rise up? Will the rest of the galaxy figure out what happened? Or will things just never change...

The Republic Remnants have taken claim to Mygeeto, whereas the Imperial Remnants have taken claim to Mustafar.

The Republic Remnants have militarized and began rebuilding Mygeeto. Most species that lived on Coruscant now reside on Mygeeto as a homeworld, but Dantooine is increasingly becoming more popular, but it is still considered a 'civilian' planet. Mustafar is now the Imperial Remnants and/or Sith's homeworld.

This means that Sith or Imperials will most likely start 'fresh' on Mustafaar and Ordinary people or Republic Remnants with start 'fresh' on Mygeeto or Dantooine. This is not required nor is one required to start 'fresh.'

The point of this roleplay would be, well, make your own story and not be forced to do one thing or another. The setting is that most, if not all, major planets with the ability of constructing several ships at a time or large ships (and high grade technology) are gone. Reverting back technology to less planet killing ways and more ship countering, for the most part. While military technology has been set far back, civilian and trade technology is still high enough to nearly the New Republic era. This roleplay will encourage old and new style ships of all kinds due to most high grade technology to be hard to find, essentially making Old Republic era ships very useful since that technology is mastered. You can either strive for your own Empire style Organization, your own organization of any kind, try to revive the Republic with your own style of Republic, bounty hunt, or anything. If you want to discover what happened, then you can do that too. But there are some on the quest for what caused the massive destruction, seeing it as a power worth while to control, or a power that needs to be destroyed or guarded. What will be on your journey?

As a reminder, in this kind of galaxy now, there is no one to baby you or carry you along. If you're not a part of the Major Org, even being a part of the pirates or Republic or Sith, you'll probably have to get a lot of stuff yourself. Your credits, inventory, discoveries, everything little is important. But with being a random spacer gives you limitless possibilities. I was just talking to someone and telling them an example of one thing they could do. Every play KotOR 2? Be in a freighter that was damaged while on its way to Coruscant or something, ship is heavily damaged and you've lost your memory and there's someone else in the freighter with you, but they are dead. Or you're alone and an escape pod is gone. You were on a planet, fighting the Empire but not a part of the Rebels, maybe a local, and you witnessed the flash of light and then the Rebels and the Imperial soldiers began to burn. Literally, just run it through here and I'll more than likely let it go through. You can try out anything you want here, look at it as a sandbox. The Major Organization is probably the strongest Organization right now (But it doesn't have a fuckton of ships, just has the ability to make good ships), you don't have to look at it as the invincible freedom fighters of the galaxy. Fight it, take it on if you want, capture their stuff. Be one of the minor Orgs. It's been 8 years, did you make a small clone or droid army? What ships do you have access to. In the end it comes down to; What will you do?

Just a few examples of what you could do

Are Jedi remnants allowed? If so, what sort of state are they in?

Are you going to keep track of basic coordinates in space, so people aren't running into each other when they shouldn't?

I'm going by the map system, for technical details like that I may be looking for a GM for the position. I do plan to have one or two. I have great ideas, but I need managers if you know what I mean.

All major Jedi are gone. You could have been a Jedi in training, just didn't receive your last bit of training, which would be helpful to train padawans.

When the roleplay can be booted, I'll allow certain things. Some Jedi, maybe Sith (species), dark Jedi, I will allow a couple fleshed out organizations, etc. But I want to see if the general idea interests anyone.

Which one does not have to try and discover what happened or what caused the event, one could try to find all the designs and materials to build the superweapons that once ruled the galaxy and try to control it. I personally think it's almost limitless to what one can do.

I see a soldier story, a roleplay story to discover something, a mission to try and be the best, try to restore an old organization, restore fallen species, trade, pirate, etc.

Everyone has become extremely weakened, so pirates are at an all time high without many threats, someone could be a police force.

I was thinking of a Padawan who is now trying to rebuild a new Jedi order. And you know what would be awesome? If someone else had the exact same character except they had a difference in ideology.

I imagine that he Force itself is even weakened. Since it was an energy shared across all living things, the cataclysm actually destroyed a portion of it with all of the decimated planets.

I have no problem with that at all, it just wouldn't be the original Republic, or the original Sith, if you know what I mean.

So you'd have the ideology of the formers, perhaps same or similar values and such, but the original still exist, they just stopped going on the offensive. If you could get a pure alliance with the Republic Remnants, they may give you access to their ship designs and schematics. Currently the Republic Remnants, Imperial Remnants, and Sith Remnants (In this roleplay the Sith will be referring to the Sith Order, like the Jedi Order, where the darkside is practiced and had control over the Empire) hold the ship designs to the most powerful ships. Padawans, and especially Jedi's in training, would have the designs and schematics to certain Jedi-specialized ships. Jedi's in training would have knowledge of ancient (From the Old Republic era) ships, this way they are not stuck somewhere randomly, they just need someone to build them ships.

Gisk, you would have knowledge of the original Crucible, Hammerhead-class Cruiser, and the Whitecloak Fighter.

Depending where you are, it could be fairly easy to get someone to build you one of these ships, or near impossible. There will be two generic ship manufacturers left, and one major that will also be an Organization (neutral towards Republic/Empire).

Those who have designs and schematics know how to retrofit "current" weaponry/equipment on the older ships. "Current" meaning the technology era they were thrown back to.

I had two things in mind, one general plot and he other character specific.

General plot: probably padawans are the only Jedi remainin because they were evacuated before the last battle, while older Knights and masters stayed to fight.

Character: I had in mind that my character was related to the owner of a Corellian shipyard, And after the great cataclysm he tries to go home, only to find it also destroyed. So he goes to one of their satellite yards to try to claim his inheritance. He republic remnants have commandeered all of the best ships, but he manage to get one.

And so he resents the republic for what he views as a theft.

Padawan's and Jedi's in training are all that are left of the Jedi Order, so I don't know the general plot. I can authorize a freighter or transport for you to inherit, but not even the Republic Remnants or Sith/Imperial Remnants could take anything. They all made a hasty retreat to somewhere safe. All the major shipyards were destroyed, including any near the planets that were destroyed or set to ruin. You could say shipyard's are an endangered species until rebuilt. One of the two generic shipyard's have a shipyard that can build Acclamator sized ships, and the major Shipyard owned by an Organization has one shipyard that can build Star Destroyer sized ships. The problem, however, is that only the Organization has any designs or schematics of ships 500+ meters, and they are near generic, and only two. Not to mention they don't go over 700 meters. Enough for individuals to make an adequate fleet.

Plus with most credits destroyed, the price of things have gone down, but credits are harder to come by, so bartering is back online, so to speak.

I may be down to be a jedi In training.

Maybe I'll shift a bit. Maybe my characters goal is to rebuild his family's shipwright business.
It'd be cool because he'd be after ship skematics and parts etc. which would give him an interesting relationship with pretty much anyone he met.

Exactly, like I said, you guys can do whatever you want. But to make things easier, you could try and get schematics off of the Organization and even ask them for help for Shipyard's. Also, Schematics won't be extremely hard to find, at least fighter schematics. Random traders or even players could start with some.

If we get two more, I'll start up the IC. Thanks for taking interest guys

Would it be possible be in training under a more senior jedi? Or have A sort of npc follower?

Well if that's what you wanna do, Caliban, I could go back to my original idea and my character could be a slightly older Jedi who is trying his hardest to consolidate and pass on Jedi teachings.

I was gonna have him be fourteen or so when the cataclysm happened, so he'd be 22 now. Still young, but among the older remaining Jedi.

If you were a full fledged Jedi or Master Jedi, you were killed. Jedi's in training are the highest ranking Jedi at this point. If you want, you could be the Jedi to restart the Jedi Order, your master telling you of a world to escape to

The idea i had was a jedi In Training finding force sensitive And training him/her or Vice versa. Sorry my Phone is flipping tables for some atm...so thats why it looks off.

Also guys, it's been 8 years since the cataclysmic event occurred, so you guys would have had to settle in or be doing something to prepare yourself when you start your mission, if you have one.

If we can find a player that was a Jedi in Training, preparing to become a full Jedi, then I can allow you to become a Padawan. The new Jedi Homeworld with an academy and such will be on Ilum.

If you are willing that Would be nice. But you Really don't need to.

If Gisk would like to be said Jedi in Training, I can allow him control of a Barloz-class medium freighter and some soldiers that follow.

Just need a good backstory of how you guys know. You guys could be in a Jedi Temple and witness the deaths and such and try to escape and the planet started to blow up. Just a quick idea.
