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
