THE SITH EMPEROR, DARTH VITIATE, IS DEAD
It is 6 years after the Treaty of Coruscant. After countless years of fighting between the Republic and Empire, as well as a near-hopeless situation due to the world-consuming powers of the Emperor, the Emperor finally died to the hands of the Hero of Tython on Dromund Kaas three years ago. Unbeknownst to the galaxy, however, the Emperor found himself scouring across other, unknown star systems in an attempt to recuperate and start the cycle anew. Fearing this outcome, one entity powerful in the Light Side of the Force, dubbed “the Shepherd,” eschewed their physical form to more efficiently follow the dark designs of the enigmatic Emperor. What they had found was that the Emperor’s influence, as well as Sith teachings new and old, were being rapidly adopted in a galaxy 6 million light-years away from the home of both the Jedi and Sith. Understanding that this would develop into yet another war of conversion, the Shepherd reached out both to promising Force-sensitives in the galaxy as well as foundational members of the now inactive and pondering Jedi Order. Few members of the former galaxy survived their trek to this new star system, creating a fracture in the hierarchy of the Order and forcing even the most novice of Jedi to adopt roles as teachers, their personal philosophies often counter against the antiquated Jedi Code. Both sides of the Force, dark and light, sought to improve and expand upon planetary societies, thus creating the New Sith Empire and the never-before seen Jedi Federation, mirroring the sociopolitical structures from ages ago. Will this galaxy be spared? Will another Hero of Tython emerge? No one can say for certain…
DISCLAIMER!
This is an Extended Universe, arguably Alternate Universe, version of a period of time in the Old Republic era. Various canon events do take place in order for the initial story of the Emperor dying to make sense, but minutiae like species, architecture, names, and so on are more easily customizable. This alternate galaxy was not made to be wholly unique from what is seen in Star Wars natively, but rather to give a nice reset to pre-established, familiar elements. Furthermore, the nature of this world is far more sexualized and generally angsty.
Hello all! I am trying to start a Living World using Star Wars 5e centered around an entirely new (but not really unique, admittedly) galaxy. I would love to have players and potential Game Masters of all skill sets and levels, as well as particularly lewd folk, to populate this manifestation of a little itch I've had. It should be noted that I want to make this place as minority-friendly as I can, be it racial, sexual, etc.; if that turns you off, go somewhere else. For those that *can* tolerate it? Welcome aboard! The link to the server and the document will be posted below:
