The Old Republic: (3653 BBY) For 25 years the war between the Sith Empire and the Republic has continued. Utilizing various ruthless tactics, including the recruitment of the Mandalorians, the Sith continue to seize territories such as the Minos Cluster, while destroying the shipyards at Sluis Van. With many in the Senate believing the war unwinnable, a peace summit is called. While in attendance, a strike force of Sith led by Darth Malgus assaults Coruscant, destroying the Jedi Temple there and forcing the signing of the unbalanced Treaty of Coruscant and ending the war. Factions within factions abound as Jedi and Republic military splinter cells believe that the fight should continue, many disagreeing on how. Struggles for power within the Sith, as the mysterious Sith Emperor disappears, also aid in the propogation of a new Cold War between the Sith and the Republic and tensions are high as every sentient in the galaxy watches nervously for signs of another Great War. Will you join the Sith Empire or aid a recovering Republic? Will you follow the Light Side of the Force or gain power in the darkness of the Sith? Forge new hyperspace lanes in your own ship or smuggle much-needed (and quite valuable) goods to those who can make it worth your while? Make your choice, make history. The Rebellion Era: (0ABY) It is a time of great strife and confusion throughout the galaxy. Order 66 failed to completely wipe out all of the Jedi, giving each a terrible choice. Go into hiding, choosing exile and isolation in the hopes that the Force would reveal what their course of action should be, or join the new Galactic Empire, becoming Sith apprentices under Lord Vader's guidance and falling to the Dark Side of the Force as they ruthlessly begin the hunt for their previous allies. Yet there is hope. A resistance movement has begun to be whispered about amongst those who yearn for freedom from the yoke of the Empire. Cells have sprung into being in small pockets across the galaxy, multiplying and spreading until at last, now, a fledgling Rebellion has taken root. Alderaan has become nothing more than an asteroid field. The First Death Star has been destroyed. The Rebellion has moved to the cold planet of Hoth to continue their efforts against the Empire, gathering to them those remnants of Jedi that have survived. Will you heed the call to arms of the Rebellion? Will you hunt these rebels into extinction and forever crush the idea of resisting the mighty Empire? Or will you remain on the sides, making profit and staying out of affairs that do not concern you unless you are paid to be concerned? Our MUSH takes place during two different times in the Star Wars universe. The Old Republic side begins just before the Jedi Civil War, roughly 3653 BBY while our other timeline begins at the dawn of the Rebellion era, at 0ABY. You are able to create characters in BOTH timelines, though for obvious reasons these characters won't be able to ICly interact. Each generation will have a separate grid to RP on with old fan favorite locales as well as some new places to experience and explore. We are a modified D6 system, with code generously ported from Star Wars: Unsung Heroes with permission and modified by our staff. ^[1]
