140 years have passed since the fall of the Galactic Empire
It is a time of unprecedented peace in the galaxy. The Republic has had no major conflicts in nearly a century and a half, and in that time has enjoyed expansion that has seen its boarders grow well beyond those of the Old Republic.
The Jedi Order has returned, and under the leadership of Jedi Master Roan Skywalker has resumed its role as the guardians of peace and justice in the Republic.
However, the peace could not last.
From the corners of the galaxy, an old enemy has returned. Under the leadership of a mysterious new foe, a remnant of the former Empire has begun retaking system after system once friendly to the Republic. Targeting Jedi and Republic strongholds alike; the Imperials march through the galaxy nearly unopposed by a Republic that has grown weak by nearly a century and a half of peace.
With its sights set on the capital world of Coruscant, the enemy approaches, and it is unclear whether even the combined forces of the Jedi Order and the once great Army of the Republic will be enough to allow the Republic to survive.
Rules
-Players are allowed a maximum of 3 characters, though it is suggested that you start out with one to begin with.
- Characters must make sense and be original. Any character that is found to be too much like an existing character will NOT be approved.
-If you are playing an alien, stay true to the mindset and general culture of that race. So do you're homework before selecting an alien race to play as.
-Unnamed, faceless NPC's may be killed, provided it's not random and has some purpose behind it. PC character deaths must be more than just some random death, and must have meaning behind it other than shock. Major NPC characters are off limits.
- Don't openly criticize another's work. We're not all as gifted a storyteller as George Lucas, or as skilled a writer as Timothy Zahn.
-Communication is the one word to live by for the RPGs. Good communication between players not only helps the flow of the arc and increases the enjoyment of the storytelling process, but it also helps create new twists and ideas that can make for some memorable stories.
-You can reside on any world in the Star Wars Universe and go anywhere within the galaxy that you desire, including the Unknown Regions.
-Several stories can be going at once, and you have the freedom to interact with other characters.
-Know your weaknesses and strengths of your character, and your craft (a smuggler is not going to win a straight fight against a Jedi, and a X-Wing isn't going to do much against an Imperial Star Destroyer).
-The Gamemasters have the final say in matters in the RPG. Though, we are always willing to work with you.
-There should be minimal cursing and swearing in posts.
-Most Importantly, HAVE FUN!
