Star Wars: Jedi Academy
Five years have passed since the Battle of Jakku and the defeat of the Galactic Empire. The New Republic has begun the process of rebuilding the galaxy, and Luke Skywalker, hero of the Rebellion, has taken steps to restore the Jedi Order, creating a new Jedi Academy on the world of D’Qar. With him are the few Jedi Knights he has since trained in the ways of the Force, and together they and the next generation seek a new beginning of light where once there was only darkness.
Peace, however, is fragile, and the New Republic struggles to confirm its place amongst the galaxy, its power tenuous amidst a divided peoples. Hutt territory is expanding, the Imperial Remnant is steadfastly defiant, and the Dark Side lurks just out of sight.
The New Jedi Order is young, untested, but in the coming years the next generation of Jedi will take the mantle of protecting the galaxy as countless men and women have down for eons before. The Jedi Academy of D’Qar is merely the start, and should it succeed the Jedi will once again find their place in the Force. But first they must survive the trials ahead.

Overview
In this RP you will play as the first generation of Jedi recruits that are to be trained in the ways of the Force. You will start at the Jedi Academy on the planet D'Qar as apprentices. We will be using mainly Legends content but some of the New Canon. The Jedi Knights that will be your teachers will be the Co-OPs and it will be two students to a Knight. However, if more students app than Knights, then I will allow others to become Knights to compensate. So right now, there is me and one other co-op, so two knights at the moment. If you wish to be a knight/co-op, then notify me by Pms or just say something in the thread.
All apprentices should have the core Force abilities, and for now, he will be using a temporary single, duel or double-bladed lightsaber unless you can come up with a good reason to have a pre-existing lightsaber of any type. The color of the lightsaber, for now, should be blue or green. You can choose the color and the lightsaber type later at the end of Act 1. It is encouraged you make an original character rather than use a pre-existing character like Kyle Katarn.
Factions
NEW REPUBLIC
Born from the rebellion, the New Republic has restored democratic function to the galaxy after many years of civil war, however, with the power vacuum left in the Empire's wake the fledgling government has yet to cement its place as the rightful authority. Currently the New Republic is attempting to rebuild worlds affected by the war. Coruscant is the capital with Mon Mothma being elected as the first Head of State.
NEW JEDI ORDER
Under the leadership of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, the Jedi Order has reformed with a handful of Knights to sow the path. After scouting for a location for which to construct a new academy the planet D'Qar was chosen. The small, abandoned Rebel outpost was reworked and has grown to a proper Jedi Academy complete with support staff. The New Jedi Order is young still but its destiny is laid out before it.
IMPERIAL REMNANT
What remained of the Galactic Empire following the Battle of Jakku retreated to the Outer Rim Territories, and though fractured remains a threat to the stability of the galaxy still recovering from war. Currently attempting to secure what few systems that remain under Imperial control and, rumor has it, infighting has led to internal conflicts that threaten a complete disintegration of the Empire, if not the rise of radical ideologies. Bastion is the capital with Vicvin Rownlov, a human male, being the last known leader of the Imperial Remnant.
HUTT CARTEL
Following the collapse of the Galactic Empire, and thus the oppression of criminal syndicates, the Hutts have greatly expanded their territory and, despite erring on the side of caution, have yet to be contested by the New Republic. This failure has led the cartel to take bolder actions in recent months. The current leader of the cartel is Tittu Sken after the death of Jabba.
