Star Wars The New Era is an AU Star Wars rp set at the start of the second decade after the battle of Yavin. The role play centers around a small handful of factions that have been slowly rebuilding themselves since the end of the resurgence war. The year is now 10 ABY, the galaxy has known peace for only a decade, but that peace is fragile and is most certainly going to be broken. The galaxy may look the same as it always has, but those within have most certainly changed, but for the better or worse is up entirely to you.
Ten years ago, the violence and bloodshed of the resrugence war came to a halt when what remained of a shattered republic military force unified against the foreign sith invaders, however, it was not enough to stop further skirmishes which continued to strain an already weak republic. In the nine years spanning between the end of the resurgence war and the battle of Yavin, things went to hell for the protagonist jedi as well as their antagonist counterparts, the sith. Darth Omni, the dark lord at the time was defeated in combat by Grand Master and Republic Chancellor Kytana Dettun sending the sith into chaos for a time....however, Grand Master Dettun soon went missing during an attack in sith controlled space and was presumed killed in action. With the Grand Master presumed dead...as had been expected for some time, what remained of the republic and jedi ultimately fell apart.
The Jedi high council and republic command, having taken leadership over the jedi defense forces and the twin core defense forces jumped to hyperspace not to be heard from for nearly three years. Only those who served in the fleet or were refugees seeking shelter aboard the ships truly know what happened during those years apart from the known galaxy. As for those left behind, they were not left empty handed, for a message was given to them shortly before the fleets jumped into the void. It read: Await the return. Nothing more nothing less, just those three words. With very little fighting force or spirit left, the republic forces left in the known galaxy surrendered peacefully and were eventually assimilated into the military of the new sith imperium.
When the jedi and republic resurfaced fifteen years ago, their message was remembered and the exodus began. At the time no one would have thought it to have any effects on events of the current date, but it can be seen that there is indeed a connection between the two. When the fleets returned over Ilum the call went out to the former republic soldiers, spies, senators, etc... who had been left behind. They had not been forgotten, and all knew it very well. The now sith defectors came in droves, fleeing from their sith captors by any means possible. In time the defections to the republic stopped, but with a galaxy watching as they occurred, additional break aways began. The mandalorians left the sith after information was leaked to them that they were nothing more than puppets to their sith masters. The transgressors too were like puppets and broke away, but unlike the mandalorians come back time and time again to earn their living from the sith.
In time, things again settled down with the occasional battle for space in the galaxy. However, with time also came more change for the galaxy. The republic remnant and jedi collective may have become a renewed force in the galaxy and the sith imperium has always been rumored to be the strongest force in the galaxy, but there are hidden cracks in the infrastructure of the sith, ones that if a new war is ignited, might see to the downfall of everything in which the imperium is. All are cautious, many are scared....the future is always changing.
On Star Wars: The New Era, you'll never know what the future holds for you unless you embrace your destiny and join now.
