Star Wars: Old Republic RP

roleplay/star-wars-the-upcoming-darkness

This Star Wars roleplay takes place during the Old Republic era of the universe. This story presents itself in an altered setting that pulls away from SWTOR (MMORPG) and will allow our characters to shape the universe itself. It will however keep what has occurred in KOTOR (at least the backstory with no real details). We will however leave Meetra Surik as the Exile. Important characters will still be around (at least of whom we need) but events and certain things will be altered and done according to the paths our characters choose.

It had been three hundred years since the return of the Jedi Order. They now protect the Galatic Republic as they did for many generations before. However, the galaxies greatest threat emerged from the depths of the fallen and once again caused the galaxy to go into war. This threat was known as the Sith Empire. It had been up to the last centuries that the Sith were assumed to be extinct but that was not the case. Due to such the watch on Korriban was done.

Unfortunately, war began and battles emerged leading to many following defeats for the Galatic Republic yet only balanced by the amount of successes. It wasn't long until the Empire seeked to control the core worlds which lead to the battle of Alderaan. The battle was only but a decoy for the empire which was intended for a surprise attack on Coruscant leading to negotiations that were held before the battle to be set in Empire's favor. A treat was signed known as “The Treaty of Coruscant” which lead to losing many star systems and granted the Empire boundaries and control.

However, the Galatic republic does not intend to sit idle on this matter... (Summed up from http://www.swtor.com/info/setting and the cinematics are a nice watch)

Where do we come in...?

The RP takes place ten years later, around SWTOR (game) takes place. Our players, one way or another seem to have been called to Coruscant for their own reasons at this point excluding the pre-roled Jedi's. The Jedi(s) on the other hand are here strictly due to negotiations with the Supreme Chancellor, Dorian Janarus about the rift alliance severing their ties at a time of need. Although aware of the era they're in. They are unknown with what the Sith Empire has in store for them. What are they to discover, how will they shape this re-written history and how will they face the sith?

I haven't played SWTOR yet, but this sounds interesting...
