The year is 142 ABY and Rey Skywalker is dead. Rey Skywalker the Jedi Grandmaster who restarted the Jedi Order after the final death of Darth Sidious, she led the Order for 107 years starting with her first student the former Stormtrooper Finn, now almost a thousand Jedi roam the galaxy once again fighting for peace and justice. But with Rey and Finn now both one with the force the future of the Jedi Order is in question, the Jedi gather for a conclave on Dantooine the home of the New Jedi Temple to elect their new Grandmaster who will no doubt define the direction of the order for many years to come.
Across the galaxy conflict continues, the Galactic Republic never reforming after the Battle of Exegol instead splitting off into dozens of Nation States, Imperial Warlords, Confederacies, Corporate Conglomerates and smaller Republics have divided up the galaxy, constantly shifting between peace and war and leaving many frontier worlds essentially lawless.
Elsewhere in the Galaxy the Sith have risen once again, a former Jedi crashing on the lost world of Ziost and falling to the darkside. Close to a hundred Sith have been trained in secret and have begun traveling across the Galaxy sowing the seeds of the new Sith Empire.
So where does that leave you? A Jedi, a Sith, somewhere in between? Or none of the above, one of the warlords, a smuggler, or a crime lord? The Galaxy is large, and in this new era anything is possible.
Hello and welcome to STAR WARS: NEW JEDI ORDER
I grew up on the New Jedi Order book series from the legends universe, following the adventures of Jacen and Jaina Solo, Kyle Katarn, Mara Jade, Cade Skywalker and dozens of other Jedi. My goal for this series is to give us a new starting point to play with in the Disney canon that keeps the spirit of the original expanded universe and the concept of the New Jedi Order. I want to make this series a big sandbox that we can create and explore together, a very open series where players can have storylines on different parts of the galaxy or on the same planet, exploring different themes, stories and allowing for a great deal of creativity.
As I said in the opening scrawl there is no empire or galactic republic spanning the galaxy instead its a bunch of nation states, none of which cover more than a few dozen planets kinda like the warring states period in Japan or China. Each can be given a unique flavor and I plan on allowing people to be creative and define different areas and planets as long as they do not contradict other lore or are overpowered. You want to be the leader of a theocratic monarchy based on Bespin? Go for it. An Imperial Warlord bent on conquering the Outer Rim? Why not?
You can also be a smuggler, senator, Jedi, Sith, etc. No real limits of who you can play. Do not make an overpowered character, be thoughtful and unique, as cool as Kyle Katarn is don’t just make a carbon copy of them. In terms of power levels NO ONE is as powerful in the force as Luke Skywalker was or as strong as Rey likely got in her old age (Legends level Grandmaster Luke when he fought Abeloth). Make sure to give your character strengths and weaknesses as well. I will be playing the new Sith Lord however.
Given the title and the inciting event of the RP I would like some people to play Jedi Masters who are seeking to be elected Grandmaster. Rey gave a great deal of leeway in terms of Jedi practices like marriage and access to certain force abilities, and made a point of remaining neutral in most galactic conflicts, instead focusing on humanitarian aid and preventing conflict, though some threats did warrant a more direct war footing where Jedi fought alongside armies. (Will be building this lore together) Most of the NationStates allow Jedi to travel through their territory but some are openly hostile to the Order. A new Jedi Grandmaster could change these practices.
