It is a dark time for the Galaxy. Divided between the democratic ALLIANCE and the despotic COALITION, citizen's of numerous worlds live in fear of a resumed war, and the devastation it would bring. With both sides exhausted by nearly a decade of war, and with billions dead, and countless more fleeing into neutral systems, it seems that the Galaxy is ripe for new leadership.
Having been turned on by their own people after the horror's of the war they lead, the JEDI ORDER has been abolished, and their remaining members hunted down by ALLIANCE and COALITION troops, as the FORCE, and those who use it have come to be viewed with disdain and anger.
Working behind the scenes, the ONE SITH are once more plotting a return to power. Having been driven out of power in the Galaxy some sixty years prior, they now scheme to return the Dark Side to prominence. Lead by a mysterious new Master, the SITH have became enmeshed in the corridors of power once more, secretly biding their time, and waiting for their chance to once more reign supreme in the Galaxy.
Poised on the edge of the abyss, ALLIANCE and COALITION negotiators meet on the space station known as the CRUCIBLE, where they hope to renegotitate a fair and eternal peace, unknowing the danger both civilizations are in...
Introduction
Welcome everyone!
I'm Jedi, and this is my latest reboot of Star Wars: A Final Hope.
For those of you who may not have heard of the previous iteration of this RP, this is a sand box style RP set in the Star Wars: Legends universe. With this in mind, we will be using the pre-Disney plot line that included the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, the Jacen Solo story arc, the rise of Darth Krayt and much more, as canon.
This new time frame has never really been explored, so we have a whole new canvas to try our hand at. A brief history of the Galaxy since 139 ABY will be provided later.
Basically, what I am hoping to create here is a free flowing, living, RP world, where we have numerous characters, plot lines, and objectives that merge into one coherent story.
Help me _____, you're my only hope
With the scale of this RP, I am going to need some help! Co-ops that would like to join in can TG me to apply, but almost more importantly, we need several major characters to move the plot along. They are:
The Exiled Jedi Grandmaster
The Dark Lord of the Sith
The Leader of the Coalition
The Leader of the Alliance
These four characters are really going to be the main drivers of the RP. If you want your character to be any of these, your APP will have to be exceptionally detailed and well crafted, even above the normal benchmark. Experienced players are also preferred here.
Rules
1.) I am the OP, and my word is final. The same goes for CO-OP's.
2.) Standard site rules apply, not Godmodding, metagaming etc etc.
3.) Strive to write good quality posts, one liners are a no no.
4.) Be creative
5.) Have FUN, you are expected to create your own story lines, for feel free to experiment.
A Brief Analysis of the Galactic Powers
The Coalition
A military dictatorship where real power is shared between several important Generals, Admirals and Bureaucrats. They are "officially" democratic, and are lead by a Consul, who is elected from the Coalition Tribunal. Both the Consul and Tribunal are merely ceremonial, however.
Real power is held by members of the night Coalition military and intelligence services, who jockey for power via plots, schemes, and outright violence. The Four Commissariat's are one of the few organizations within the official Coalition government that can claim to be legitimately in control of their respective branches, though their influence has almost eclipsed that of the military branch in recent years. The Four Commissariat's are 1)Foreign Intelligence 2) Domestic investigation 3)Force User Task Force and 4) Technological Procurement and Development.
The Coalition Fleet is primarily made up of vessels that are akin to those of the Old Empire, and continue to utilize the triangular hull design that has proven so effective.
The Coalition Army is a mixed bag of clones, willing volunteers, conscripts, and prisoners. They are known for their brutality and their incredibly barbaric practices. Their primary advantage is in numbers rather than organization.
The Coalition does not have a permanent capital, rather, its headquarters is located aboard a massive space station at the heart of the Maw Cluster, known as The Leviathan. The massive station is a sprawling metropolis and is well defended by the Coalition Fleet. The Consul and Tribunal are housed here.
The Galactic Alliance
Born out of the ashes of the New Republic, the Galactic Alliance is a democratic organization, based on the old core world of Coruscant. The Alliance is a representative democracy and holds freedom and civil rights dear.
The primary legislative body of the Alliance is the Senate. It is comprised of one senator from every planet in the Coalition. These Senators can then elect a Chancellor to be the de facto head of the Alliance.
The Alliance Military is small but well organized, relying on quality of quantity. It's utilizes light, fast ships, and fighter forces over the Star Cruisers of their Coalition enemies.
Similarly, the Alliance Military is entirely volunteer based, but I'd put through rigorous training and testing, allowing each soldier to become more dangerous than many other fighting groups.
The Jedi and Sith
The Force is viewed with widespread suspicion and hostility by most non-sensitive denizens of the Galaxy. Both the Sith and Jedi are reviled, though, for different reasons.
The Jedi are the public face of the Last Great War between the Coalition and the Alliance, and, as Generals for the latter, lead many of the most devastating and costly campaigns of the War. With the Vulpter Armistice, the Order was declared illegal and dissolved. The few Jedi who remain are scattered in covens around the Galaxy.
The Sith are still hated for the actions of Darth Krayt and his One Sith regime some 70 years ago, and for the pain they inflicted on the Galaxy. Since Darth Krayt's fall however, no Sith has been seen, and many believe they are all dead. Despite this hope, they have in fact been recruiting disciples and agents, planting moles in the Governments of both the Alliance and Coalition, and some even say shaping the Last Great Wars conclusion.
Galactic History from 139 ABY to the Present Day (The Long Version)
139 ABY - The Galactic Triumvirate is formed, as power in the Galaxy is shared between the Fel Empire, the Galactic Alliance, and the Jedi Order. The One Sith are forced into hiding.
144 ABY- Empress Fel is assassinated by mysterious actors, causing a power vacuum and a civil war within the Fel Empire.
146 ABY- The Galactic Alliance and Jedi Order move to restore order to the Fel Empire, causing a multi front war with various parties.
154 ABY- The Galactic Alliance forces succeed in subjugated much of Imperial space, but at a great cost. The remaining Imperials concentrate on defending their few remaining strongholds as their civil war fades into a resistance movement.
160 ABY- The Galactic Alliance attempts to seize the last remaining Imperial Worlds at the urging of the Jedi Council.
161 ABY- The Alliance is heavily defeated after a botched invasion of Imperial space. Several secessionist worlds join what remains of the Fel Empire and become the Coalition, a united, autocratic government.
163 ABY- The Coalition and Alliance sign a peace treaty, limited the Coalition to the Outer Rim, and setting military restrictions on their production.
173 ABY- A decade of Peace is broken when a group of Jedi discover the rapid mobilization of Coalition forces around the Galaxy. A preemptive strike by Alliance forces are rebuffed with heavy losses. War between the Alliance, Jedi and the Coalition begins.
177 ABY- Coalition forces penetrate the Mid Rim.
180 ABY- Fighting seeps into the Core Worlds, as the Jedi and Alliance forces are hard pressed to hold back the Coaltion. War weariness begins to grow within the Alliance, as does distrust of the Jedi.
182 ABY- A Jedi Strike team succeeds in defending the world of Commenor, stemming the tide of the War.
184 ABY- Alliance forces are able to hold the line in the Expansion Region, but suffer extreme losses against the Coalition onslaught. The Coalition begins anti-Jedi propaganda.
185 ABY- The Alliance suffers a crushing defeat at Eriadu as a Jedi lead counter attack is ambushed and destroyed by Coalition forces.
186 ABY- Protests within the Alliance against the War and the Jedi leadership of it begin. Several planets force the Jedi to leave their worlds. The Alliance enters talks with the Coalition.
187 ABY- The Vulpter Armistice is ratified between the Coalition and Alliance, dividing the Galaxy into two halves. A clause in the treaty bans the Jedi Order, and Alliance/Coalition troops purge the Jedi from the Galaxy. The Jedi Order attempts to go into hiding.
189 ABY- The bulk of the remaining Jedi are slaughtered on Telos IV in a brutal last stand against Alliance and Coalition forces. Some Jedi flee, and hide among many different systems, though a large coven founds a secret Temple on Ilum.
190 ABY- The Carida Concordant is signed, officially ending the War, and silencing the Jedi. This begins the watchful peace between the Coalition and Alliance. The Concordat must be resigned every 10 years.
192 ABY- A series of disappearances and bombings occur through the Coalition. No one is ever found suspect.
195 ABY- The Chancellor of the Alliance is assassinated, a mysterious figure escapes Coruscant, though witnesses claim he bore a crimson lightsaber.
200 ABY- Negotiations for the resigning of the Carida Concordat begin on the Crucible.
Galactic History from 139 ABY to the Present Day (The Short Version)
Essentially, what has occurred since the fall of Darth Krayt is another terrible Galactic War between the Alliance/Jedi and the Coalition. The War became a stalemate the Jedi were largely blamed for the Alliance's poor performance and were abolished by popular demand. The Sith are working behind the scenes in both the Alliance and Coalition, and are working to destabilize or take over both. That's about it.

Final Notes
With regard to how this RP will function, there are several options. If we get sufficient interest, I will create a discord channel and we will move the majority of OOC and post development to that arena. Until then, feel free to use this thread or TG me directly with questions.
If you would like to be even more involved than that, you could offer your services as a Co-Op. I may not need one right away, but if all goes well and we have a lot of interest, then I may need the extra help.
Thanks for reading, I hope this interests you enough to drop a TAG or better yet, an APP!
