A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…
It was an age of peace for the NEW REPUBLIC until a mysterious Dark Lord of Sith- Darth Magnus- emerged from the UNKNOWN REGIONS. Armed with a massive fleet and an army of Sith Lords, the Republic was defeated as Luke Skywalker's Jedi Order was forced to scatter across the galaxy after their temple on Yavin IV was destroyed.
For almost two hundred years after their victory, the SITH CONFEDERATION has ruled unchallenged as the remnants of the Jedi remain hunted through the galaxy. As the planet Mandalore entered into open revolt, high-ranking individuals across the galaxy sought out the remaining Jedi Knights to form a new movement, an ENLIGHTENMENT, to restore peace to the galaxy.
With deals being made in secret, the Enlightenment begins to build an army from the shadows. Seeking out old bases and supply caches from the OLD REPUBLIC and the REBELLION, a group of Jedi Knights and Enlightenment agents on the frost-world of Ithal in the Outer Rim discover a centuries-old secret that could give them an advantage in the coming war...
Thank you for your interest! Now, a summary of the story thus far...- The starting date is ~290 ABY (After the Battle of Yavin)
- We began on the planet Ithal, an Outer Rim world that:
-- Is sparsely populated and covered in snowfall.
-- Was used as an Old Republic settlement and secret base, then later as an Imperial junkyard maintenance station.
- The players initially searched the planet after hearing rumors of an ancient Jedi archive and safehouse. Instead, they soon find a somewhat active wing of the Old Republic base, containing a legion of clones cared for by barely-active caretaker droids, unaware of the state of the galaxy in the modern day.- After inadvertently awakening the clones, the group was forced to try and get one of the old ships on Ithal operational before the next cold wave kills them all. With no more than a week before they're incapable of surviving, time was of the essence as they barely managed to get off-world and somehow avoid the eye of the Confederation until the time was right.
-Now with their new clone allies in tow, the Jedi Council and the Enlightenment has charged the part with retaking the planet of Dantooine and securing the ancient Jedi enclave and artifacts therein, establishing a new foothold for the Order and the Enlightenment as the faction launches a surprise assault on multiple Outer Rim worlds to overthrow their Sith masters. We're currently in a brief hold at this point to better introduce the new characters.
A few upkeeping notes:- The story is largely player-driven, similar to a D&D campaign, with a chance to explore many different worlds and undertake a variety of deadly and dangerous missions.
- Players will be able to play as any species in the Star Wars universe, within reason, as well as clones and droids.
- Not all characters need to be attuned to the Force- characters who are "deaf" to it can be even deadlier than Jedi!
- The Sequel Trilogy (which is comprised of Episodes VII, VIII, & IX) will not be considered canon for this roleplay due to its incomplete status at the time of the RP's launch. Instead, much of the inspiration for events that place beyond Return of the Jedi will be taken from the "Legends" continuity.
- The current maximum number of participants is ten total, with five slots currently up for grabs!
- The OOC is housed on Discord- instructions for accessing it, along with the RP's rules, are on the RP's Lore page.
- This roleplay is intermediate/advanced and only includes Redstar members due to its themes and content.
Please leave a comment if you're interested and/or have any questions!
