(Little note here, this section, and really, this RP in general has a few spoilers from the Star Wars: New Jedi Order book series. I have done my best to leave as many details out as possible to keep things interesting for those who wish to read the book, but I thought I'd note that there are some things given away here. However, this is important information for understanding what kind of galaxy your characters are living in, so please, do your best to look over these spoilers.)
In this time period, twenty years following the epic battle between the New Republic and the Yuuzhan Vong, many changes have been made to the Universe we all have grown to love. Note that some of these changes will be in accordance to the current Expanded Universe Canon, however, being that this RP takes place in a time period that has yet to be written about, we have taken creative liberty to create a sort of 'alternate universe' so as to make things a little more exciting, and a little more 'our' own galaxy. The Galactic Overview is as follows:
The New Republic and the Imperial Remnant's peace treaty following their unification to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong threat remains as strong as ever, with the Remnant even gaining a larger fraction of the galaxy to call its own in the wake of the conflict. However, New Republic exports to Remnant-controlled planets still leave most Imperial-made products nowhere near as cost-effective as their New Republic counterparts, and the Remnant economy continues to decline, much to the dismay of many Imperial manufacturing companies and small businesses.
The Yuuzhan Vong, following their surrender, have little-to-no presence in the galaxy at this point. They can, however, be seen on the rarest occasions in Coruscant, where they have promised to help rebuild the planet's city-scape that they had completely laid waste to. These sightings are rare, however, because the Vong still have a deep dislike of the New Republic population, and try to keep as little communication with them as possible.
Speaking on Coruscant, the planet is currently well into the process of being rebuilt after the Yuuzhan Vong's attempts to reform it back to nature. It is far enough along, in fact, that the Galaxy's Capital has been moved back. There was much debate over this in the Senate, but it was finally agreed upon that Coruscant now, more than ever, with its mesh of artificial city-scape and living jungle, was truly a symbol that could preside over the galaxy. There are still those, however, both in Senate and in the general populace, who think that Coruscant, still being rebuilt by the Yuuzhan Vong, is not yet safe enough, if it ever will be, to house the Galactic Senate...
On the Jedi side of things, Grand Master Solis Fay'den has moved the Jedi Academy and the New Jedi Order back to Dantooine from Ossus, returning back to nature and history, as Jedi Academies have been present on the planet from as far back as the beginnings of the Old Republic. There are, however, Jedi enclaves back on Ossus and Naboo, and a major Jedi Order center that has just finished construction on Coruscant.
In light of the recent war, lots of military surplus, as well as mercenary soldiers, have been floating around many intergalactic tradelines, be they general or underground. As such, crime has increased somewhat in the past few years, both in New Republic and Imperial Remnant space, and there has been much talk in hushed whispers amongst the general populace of both governments of rumors of crime syndicates attempting to resurface to gain footholds in the midst of the post-war chaos.
Thus is a general look at what's going on in our galaxy at the moment. What you do with these situations, or what new situations you create, is entirely up to you, the player. Enjoy your stay in our Expanded Universe, and welcome to The New Sith Wars!
