They say that when Alderaan died 200 years ago that was the first time anyone alive had felt such a great disturbance in the force; that even the wisest struggled to understand what had happened. That was when a planet dying meant something, the days where names like Skywalker and Palpatine belonged to living people, instead of sitting alongside figures like Revan and Exar Kun in the domain of ill-remembered stories and legends. Now the galaxy has seen the Great War, the first war fought where all sides had mass produced superweapons with firepower once reserved for the Death Star or Starkiller Base. The opening salvo killed more people than the Clone Wars, the Galactic Civil War and the First Order/Resistance Conflict combined. Anyone who could listen said that it sounded like the force itself was screaming as countless worlds died and over half the galactic population perished. The intense fires of conflict became smoldering embers once the stockpiles were exhausted and what remained of the governments and industries that had built the superweapons lay shattered into a thousand pieces. The core worlds are all but gone, the inner rim is just as devastated, and what passes for civilization is scattered among the outer reaches of the galaxy. Even landscapes as hostile as the deserts of Tatooine and the icy wastes of Hoth are sought after in this era; many of the most recent generations have no home world, living a nomadic existence amid a fleet of ships and never even breathing the air of a real atmosphere.

Now the galaxy is dotted with warlords and bandits, commanding whatever forces they have and trying to carve their own slice of territory. They give their forces grandiose titles, there is no shortage of new empires, republics, orders, federations, but whatever they call themselves or whatever great heritage or ideology they claim means little. In the same manner Jedi and Sith have become empty words, adopted by any thug or mystical charlatan with a lightsaber and some half remembered teachings; a thousand disparate traditions clinging to old ideals. Few have time to think beyond the hardships of everyday life. To the those that open their mind to the force and listen to it, they hear something new amongst the ruins, something that has replaced the terror from the height of the war. They feel it growing weaker, straining more and more, and calling to them only for it to fade each time; as though the force itself is dying, and no one knows why.





Thank you for reading, this RP is an idea for a different take on a Star Wars RP, shaking up the setting quite a bit. Looking for a group of players who start out just trying to survive, stumble into an galaxy-spanning journey, and end up probing some of the most profound mysteries of the force.
More details of the lore will be fleshed out as we go on. Elements from both the Legends canon and the current canon will be allowed.

What to expect

☄️ A dark, post-apocalyptic feel brought to Star Wars
☄️ Epic adventures and action
☄️ A collaborative approach to world-building
☄️ More freedom from canon than typical of a star wars RP
☄️Interesting philosophical takes on the force

Thank you all for your interest so far! Glad to see this idea is getting some traction.

I'm going to try and allow a broad variety of characters, especially creative concepts that might have a harder time fitting in another Star Wars RP. Characters with morality on both the dark and the light side are welcome, as are ones that don't fit the dichotomy. All that I really ask is the usual stuff about not making anything too overpowered or setting breaking, and that the character has room to grow as the RP goes on.

That like a cool idea for a character.

I might re-tool one of my old republic era RP characters for this.

She was an iridonian zabrak mechanic/engineer who fixed swoop bikes and speeders for gangs but remained neutral in their constant gang wars. Spoke like a really bad cockney git, carried a broken blaster just for intimidation and a false sense of security, and was Force sensitive because why not.

So I was really curious how you did the gradient with the text, so I looked at the Raws and uh



What the Hell.

Huge Star Wars fan here. I've been in several Star Wars roleplays over the years, but post apocalyptic is a cool spin I've never tried. I'll start working on a character concept.

I think there's enough interest for me to start working on an OOC. Hopefully I'll have something ready later this week.

Yup, gradients are tricky, and I used this tool to make it happen: stuffbydavid.com/textcolorizer . Initially I wanted to do an even more complex gradient that would start from the center, to make it look even more like a lightsaber but I decided it wouldn't be worth the time it would take to code my own script to make that happen even assuming I wouldn't run into some issue involving text spacing.

Looks cool, mark me as interested. For now I'm thinking a force user who is trying to figure out what is wrong with the force. To do this he is wandering the galaxy looking for holocrons or ruins that could explain it what is going on. These artifacts are also the only teachers he has to master his blossoming powers.
