The Third Galactic Civil War

The Republic is no more.

The Empire is gone.

The galaxy has been left to the designs of local rulers across the stars. Coruscant is no longer the capital of a galactic spanning nation. The Republic, bastion of democracy and freedom, was forced into dissolution by the first and only act of Supreme Chancellor Standash Thul. Their remnants fragmented and scattered among the various systems of known space. The Empire, a centralized authority that struck fear across the galaxy, wither and declined until the last reincarnation was dissolved by its second and final Emperor, who vanished into the Outer Rim. There is no central authority, no galactic government to see to the needs of the people who live among the many stars. The stars are left to fend for themselves.

Out of the ashes of these two nations, new shapes have begun to form. Gears have started to turn the engines that drove them to motivate successors.

The Jedi Order, centralized for the first in generations by the Felucian Enclave, have begun the great task of once more becoming peacekeepers to the galaxy and seeking to knit back the many stars that have grown distant from one another. Through the machinations of Jedi Master Aerandir Calmcacil and by the support of those who are like-minded, an old flag has been lifted high upon the planet of Mon Calamari. An Alliance, formed out of the fragments of the Republic, supported by Jedi and augmented by others like-minded, has been forged to quell a great darkness that looms on the horizon.

In the most remote sector of the Outer Rim, in an area bordering the Unknown Regions, the Imperial Sector, fresh standards have been revealed. By the designs and efforts of Nicademus Delvardus - the Last Emperor - who in using his cultivated influence to marshal the Imperial Armed Forces, has declared the formation of the First Order. Supported by the mysterious sect known as the Knights of Ren and most prestigious Imperial Knights, the First Order erupted forth from the Imperial Sector. Their armies and fleets striking at neighboring systems and forcing all to kneel before their rule or die at the hands of their invaders. The Unknown Region has been carefully invaded by the reorganized Imperial forces as system after the system is brought, by force, under the regime of the First Order. They seek order by force, an end to defiance and the destruction of their enemies. The sudden appearance of the Knights of Ren concerned the Jedi. Reports over HNN of systems being attacked around the Imperial Sector and warlords across the galaxy becoming emboldened by the successes of this Imperial resurgence have further brought concerns and uncertainty to the Jedi, forcing Aerandir and his fellow Jedi to act quickly.

Even as the Jedi and the Alliance begin the foundations of their resistance and actions against the First Order, Imperial forces encroach closer and closer to Jedi-controlled space within the Outer Rim. The Supreme Commander's eyes have set upon Dantooine, a solitary target that is slowly being cornered and surrounded by the expansionist policies of the Imperial faction.

War is on the horizon. A war unlike any other since the Second Galactic Civil War, and the preceding Yuuzhan Vong Invasion. Not since those days has galactic authority crumbled and new factions rose to challenge one another for dominance over the stars. There are doubts and uncertainties of what is to come. Will the Jedi and their Alliance prevail over the darkness and bring back peace once more or will the First Order conquer all before them, bringing a new era of Imperialism and Order to the galaxy?



Welcome one and all to the forum-wide event that has been brewing since before the release of Episode VII, the Force Awakens.

This war has been the cooperation of many players, many who know who they are and those who have helped directly and indirectly. At this moment, I would like to thank all who have helped and those who will participate for making this possible. It has been a long time since we have had such a large portion of the community support this idea and seek a means to bring this war plot closer and closer.

Now, we are still in the planning stages. There are still a few things that need to be discussed and agreed upon (although there will be some regulations that will be brought forth immediately). Please, take your time, everyone who is participating. We want this war to start as badly as you want, but we wanna make this start off on the right foot and propel us down a long storyline that will shape the future of the galaxy as we know it! Remember everyone, we are here to have fun and enjoy a grand event together! Cooperation is key to the success of this forum storyline and we want you all being on the same side (not same side of the war that is, but you get what I mean!).

I will update this post and a couple reserve spots below as more information pours in.
