Room Setting

11 ABY: (1/23/2014) Luke Skywalker is captured by the Empire after years of being hunted. The exact details of the capture are unclear but after he is publicly executed on live holonet for all the Galaxy to see the Republic responds by an immense final push with full fury against the Empire. The Empire is forced out of the Core worlds and Republic space for good with some of them retreating to the unknown regions and others back to their ancient home near Bastion. The Jedi temple on Coruscant is restored and Luke's apprentice Saana Tai assumes the mantel as Grand Jedi Master of the Jedi. The Republic breaths a sigh of relief and a time of relative peace spreads through out the galaxy allowing them to grow and rebuild after a long and bloody civil war.



31 ABY: (5/12/2014) 20 years after the death of Luke Skywalker… The Empire has officially declared war against the NR and has attacked a New Republic friendly planet. The surprise attack on Kashyyyk was a complete victory for the Empire which seized the planet and has made moves to establish a base there as well as a shipyards. The New Republic Senate debates actions and the costs of war while the Empire enjoys it's hold on the once Wookie Homeworld. The NR Fleet has gathered around the core planets and key Republic worlds to keep the Empire from making an attack on Coruscant or the inner Core worlds... The return of the Empire catches the NR by surprise as their fleet comes out of the Unknown Regions as well as from Remnant space. The strikes catch the NR completely off guard causing them to lose whole sectors in the blitz attack. A new Galactic war is started.



31 ABY: (5/25/2014) After the events on Kashyyyk the NR declares war on the Imperial Remnant.

*The Holonet comes to life with a news broadcast followed by the appearance of Supreme Chancellor Constantine.* People of the New Republic. By now many of you have heard what has become of Kashyyyk and for those of you who do not know approximately one week ago the Imperial Remnant has made a bold push upon our ally Kashyyyk. The death toll numbers are not in yet but I come before you today to bring you a message of hope. Trust me when I say that the events of Kashyyk have sickened and shocked me just as much as they have you. I grieve for the losses as if they were my own flesh and blood. This is why we will be carrying out swift and severe retaliatory strikes upon the limbs of what remains of our enemy. What remains of the Empire will accept full responsibility for their actions and will be held accountable.

That our enemies would take so shocking a step towards war is nearly unthinkable. The lives of millions of innocent people were lost yet the beating heart of the Republic lives on. However, those of you who can hear this know that the Republic has faced dire situations before and we will not be caught standing by idle while the culprits go dance and revel in their supposed victory. As of today (insert galactic standard date) we are declaring open war on the Remnants of the Empire. I will be mobilizing Republic Forces to deal decisive counter-strikes. There will be no tolerance. Any Imperial forces found on planet are to be detained. If there is any resistance they are to be shot on sight. I will not tolerate further harm to my people.

Please know that I am deeply sorry for your losses and the fact that this happened on my watch. I will not rest until justice has been dealt, I give you my word.

In order to allow you some peace of mind your security forces have been doubled and our fleets are reaching full mobilization. We will not leave you vulnerable. I will not leave you vulnerable. Whatever happens, I take full responsibility. And I swear to you on my life that I will not stop until justice is served and peace is returned. The villains behind these inhuman strikes will be brought to justice.

31 ABY: (6/20/2014) The Empire launches coordinated strikes against the Jedi Temples on Taris and Dantooine killing thousands and leaving hundreds wounded. The surviving Jedi are left to scatter from Imperial space.

31 ABY: (7/10/2014) Anzek Dirano, Boba Fett, Speturra and an army of bounty hunters and Mercenaries attack the NR Senate and Jedi temple. The Empire released sleeper Jedi into both locations with biological bombs inside of them and detonated them, The Senate sustained moderate damage killing many politicians, the Jedi Temple was nearly destroyed during the battle which resulted in a victory on the part of the NR and Jedi forces though they received many casualties.

31 ABY (7/18/2014) Narrator: And so the time had come. The Senate met to discuss the matters of the attack on the Jedi temple and the Senate building. It had only taken them six days to come to a decision and this is it. All bounty hunter licenses on Coruscant are to be suspended and revoked when it comes to the Jedi. The Antarian rangers will be given more funding for defense of the Jedi Temple and the Republic will begin to fight a more offensive war starting immediately.

Grandmaster Saana Tai is also present for this meeting along with the other ranking Jedi Masters. Since Dark Jedi had been captured at the Jedi temple battle and interrogated the Republic is now aware not only of the Jedi Temple but the presence of Inquisitors as well. As such the Jedi will be offered ranked positions once more and given the chance to accompany soldiers into battle especially with so many Darksiders to face. The NR will soon begin to hit worlds on the edge of NR space such as Obrga-Skai. The plan for the Republic is simple. Hit Imperial space at the edge and steady push them back with a unified front. After these matters are settled the Holonet comes on with a message from Supreme Chancellor Constantine.

“ Republic citizens, I come before you today to have a little discussion with you. A discussion about the Republic and our future. Of course, in one sense, the first essential for a man’s being a good citizen is his possession of the home virtues of which we think when we call a man by the emphatic adjective of manly. No man can be a good citizen who is not a good husband and a good father, who is not honest in his dealings with other men and women, faithful to his friends and fearless in the presence of his foes, who has not got a sound heart, a sound mind, and a sound body, exactly as no amount of attention to civil duties will save a nation if the domestic life is undermined, or there is lack of the rude military virtues which alone can assure a country’s position in the world. In a free republic the ideal citizen must be one willing and able to take arms for the defense of the flag, exactly as the ideal citizen must be the father of many healthy children. A race must be strong and vigorous; it must be a race of good fighters and good breeders, else its wisdom will come to naught and its virtue be ineffective; and no sweetness and delicacy, no love for and appreciation of beauty in art or literature, no capacity for building up material prosperity can possibly atone for the lack of the great virile virtues. These very virtues mentioned as virtues found in each and every one of our citizens. The Republic needs you and it needs you now. Our objective? The complete and unconditional surrender of the Imperial Remnant.”

“I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Republic, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of The Republic, every man and woman of them. That is the will of the Senate and the planet. New Republic and the Jedi Order, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large planets in the Republic have fallen before and many old and famous territories have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Empire and all the odious apparatus of Imperial rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in the atmosphere, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our space, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight with our ships, we shall fight on the landing grounds with our soldiers, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight where ever the Empire may be found and we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this planet or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our forces beyond this solar system, armed and guarded by the Republic Navy, would carry on the struggle to the bitter end… That is the resolve of the Republic.

31 ABY (7/27/2014) The Imperial Navy and the New Republic Forces battle for the planet of Kashyyyk during an epic three week battle that cost over 1,000,000 total lives on both sides. The Empire, under the command of Grand Admiral Black, crushed the New Republic Navy using the terrifying power of the Emperor. On the ground of Kashyyyk Jedi Knight Janus Darkmoon gathered the enslaved Wookiees and lead them to aid the NR. Mandalorian mercenaries also landed on the ground to aid the New Republic Fleet in securing the planet. The NR retakes Kashyyyk and the Empire and NR sign a uneasy peace treaty.

31 ABY (8/11/2014) The Rakghoul plague has spread to lower levels of Nar Shaddaa and has infected hundreds of thousands of people. A Quarantine is set into effect while the Hutt sectors are ravaged. The Dirano Syndicate and Blacksun work together to purge the plague and keep it from spreading to the whole moon of Nar Shaddaa.

31 ABY (9/16/2014) With the clean-up and rebuilding of Nar Shaddaa still underway, Kenji Dirano of Inner Rim Incorporated has emerged as the apparent authority figure of the moon while developing friendly relations between the Blacksun, NR and Imperial authorities and their mutual interests there, though tensions remain as the overall fighting between the New Republic and Imperial forces continue their war efforts against each other. While Hutt syndicate is being hunted into extinction by the Empire and the Dirano Syndicate, the smaller groups of the galaxy have begun to pop up to fill the void left by their withdrawal allowing the Dirano Syndicate to rise as the prominent crime family in the galaxy.

33 ABY(2/9/2016) A combined fleet of Blacksun and Hutt ships descend upon Nal Hutta and Nar Shaddaa in an attempt to recapture the planet and Moon from the Dirano Syndicate. Kneji and Anzek Dirano's ships and soldiers respond causing a battle to take place on the planet, moon and in space. Jedi Knight Corbin Jor'kul is caught in the conflict due to poor timing arriving at Nar Shaddaa just as the fighting kicked off. In the end the Dirano Syndicate won the day though at great cost in damges to the infrastructure of the planet and moon. How the Dirano Syndicate will react so such an attack is yet to be seen. For the time being Nar Shaddaa and those upon it work on rebuilding and bolstering defenses.

33 ABY(2/12/2016) NR and Imperial forces are ambushed by a surprise attack from an unknown attack while working on alliance negotiations at Kween station. During the attack Grand Admiral Black and the Supreme Chancellor of the NR manage to escape, all the Moff's and NR senators present have been killed. Investigations are underway while both Governments try to figure out who these attackers were and why they attacked. Panic spreads about the galaxy as accusations are thrown both sides while others feel this attack is a good reason for an alliance between the NR and Imperials to address this new threat. The Galaxy faces dark times while a new threat looms in the background ready to strike on a weakened galaxy thrust into turmoil.

33 ABY (2/16/2016) After a four day battle on the planet of Illum the forces calling themselves the "True Mandalorians" defeated a combined force of Sith, Jedi, New Republic and Imperial forces. By using the force crystals to power a super weapon they wiped out the combined NR and Imperial fleet killing millions and seizing the planet for their own. The NR and Imperial survivors limp away to lick their wounds and rethink their war efforts. The mystery behind these new foes and where they built this fleet is a pressing matter for the allied Imperial and New Republic forces but one thing is for certain, this new threat is real and very dangerous...

33 ABY(2/17/2016) A transmission is heard galaxy wide as a declaration of war. "Ban'nin Shen: *While he speaks in a language that sounds vaguely similar to a dialect of Mando’a, someone else provides translation out of view in Galactic Basic * The New Republic… A collection of those who live in dreams. You declare yourself a return to democracy and the Republic of old, but how effective was that institution? When last I checked, your Old Republic was rotted and crumbling. The Clone Wars were born of the selfish and blind want to stop secession from it… to round up the womprats who dared to head for dry land as it sank. Even if you had formed under the ideal of spreading utopia across the stars, you have failed. You will not finish what you start, or do what is necessary. Your enemies are knowingly left time and again to rebuild and return with new vigor… and the galaxy suffers for it. The Imperial Remnant… is just that. At the height of your power you were still unable to retain control of that which you claimed you would bring order to. You were formed by those who followed corrupted power blindly in the hopes of being closest and catching the choicest crumbs falling from the Emperor’s plate. You cling to a failed leadership, made up of those who survived because they hid far from the battles they instigated… those who know bravery only from a distance. Each in your own way, your leadership and your framework of governance… your military might… has been inadequate to bring peace and in your failings you have only generated a growing and ceaseless suffering galaxy-wide. The Infinite Empire was once a source of ceaseless suffering, spreading their rule out and dominating others. Ruling with little caring, or even understanding of those they imposed oversight upon. The end of the Rakata came from Mimir. Their power was broken to degrees that leave most with a belief that it isn’t… couldn’t possibly be… more than fables of old, stories conjured from boredom or wonderment or the minds of the addled… You will remain within your own territories. You will allow any planets or peoples of noble nature within your territory to leave or to live free of your incompetent control if they so desire. You will cease your futile and counterproductive efforts to expand influence outwards to new systems and be content to govern any who stay with you willfully from this point… or the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant will join the Infinite Empire. I am the Lord of Mimir, and I do not repeat myself. *The transmission would hold for a long moment to allow both the translator to finish, and for the message to sink in before cutting out, all normal activity resuming across the holonet, though news stations would likely be dropping regularly scheduled feeds to begin commentary on what just happened.*"

NR and Imperial forces are left to decide how to respond or react... More to follow. On Coruscant the NR and Empire sign an alliance ending decades of war and hostility only to turn their eyes to a new enemy.

33 ABY(2/21/2016) The Children of Mimir stage a strike on the Kuat shipyards as well as Mon Calamari ship yards. With the Republic and Imperial fleet drawn back to protect the core both shipyards were disabled and all but destroyed. The attack was quick and efficient using cloaking technology. The Empire and NR are left to discuss and debate their next move while Ban'nin Shen and his followers continue to rise as a serious threat to the Galactic Alliance.
