The truth in our soul,
Is that nothing is true.
The question of life
Is what then do we do?
Is that nothing is true.
The question of life
Is what then do we do?

Overview:
It has been over 150 years since the decisive victory by the Resistance and its allies over the Sith Eternal at Exegol. On that fateful day, the Galaxy was at last freed fully from the corrupting influence of the Sith. In the years that followed, an uneasy peace settled over the surviving worlds and peoples. Old enemies laid down their arms and clasped hands. New Galactic boundaries were drawn, not with fire but with the oaths of allies. The Galactic Federation of Free Alliances - more commonly known simply as the Galactic Alliance - was born out of the shattered remains of the Old Empire and the New Republic and spread its vast arms across all of known space, ruling through the combined input of the leaders of these humbled powers. Small conflicts flared occasionally, though they were quickly put down by the strong arm and watchful eyes of Jedi Grandmaster Rey Skywalker, her burgeoning new Jedi Order, and the Galactic Alliance Guard.
In these long and untroubled years, the monstrous and brutal acts of the Sith faded at first to distant memories, and then to legend. However, the few and the wise know that there is always a bit of truth in Legends…

Guidelines:
This roleplay takes place in the somewhat-distant, somewhat-near future of the Star Wars universe, after the Skywalker Saga has concluded and most if not all of the characters we know well from the movies and shows are long gone. As such, it is a reboot of sorts, and I intend to make the most of it. I have and will continue to incorporate the best elements from the current canon as well as the Legends or Expanded Universe canon, alongside my own original creations. Generally, movie canon will take priority in establishing the timeline of events and Legends material will be adapted to fill out the empty spaces as needed.
The Star Wars Galaxy is a big, big place. This roleplay is intended to let you, the players, explore it at whatever pace you desire. There will be a main story with a lot going on, but progressing your own side plots and character-to-character interactions is both allowed and encouraged. That said, here are some guidelines:
1. As stated above, this is a relatively open-ended experience. I'll try to keep an updated summary of main-plot events for newcomers, but there won't be a cap on number of players. Anyone can join in at any time.
2. As this is a casual roleplay, I won't be demanding super high-effort posts, but I would appreciate at least one or two detailed paragraphs.
3. Characters of all occupations and backgrounds are allowed (as long as they're lore-friendly), with Jedi characters encouraged as there's going to be some Force-heavy events happening quite early on.
4. Though all kinds of characters are welcome, power scaling should be kept in mind. If you're going to make a Jedi character, for example, they should probably be a Padawan or a younger, more inexperienced knight and not the second coming of Anakin Skywalker.
5. Please try to post at least once a week or so, so that you don't get left behind!
6. Don't feel intimidated if you don't know a lot about Star Wars, the Legends continuity, or anything like that. I've deliberately set things in a timeline where nothing necessarily has to adhere strictly to any established continuity. If you even have an inkling that you think you'd enjoy this story, I encourage you to participate!

Lore
More lore coming soon!
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! All the information and the roleplay guidelines on this post are subject to change if need be.
If there's some decent interest in this, I'll get right to work on an OOC post with a character sheet, as well as a Discord for the RP.
