A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far Far Away

Star Wars:
The Darkest Age

In the year 5000 BBY, the Sith Empire lost a ship known as Omen when it crash landed on the planet of Kesh. The survivors on the planet would continue on although they had no way off the planet. This Remnant of the Old Sith Empire was long forgotten....

It is now 1,100 BBY. The Republic and the New Sith Empire have been at War for almost 900 years now. Sith Lords come and go, as do the Jedi who lead the Republic. The New Sith Empire is in a time of reformation after the death of the last Dark Lord of the Sith, Belia Darzu in 1,230 BBY. Many rise and fall, trying to take the name of Dark Lord of the Sith but finally as the modern day approaches one rises and stays arisen having united the Sith once more under a strong arm, and with the discovery of the Lost Sith on Kesh, armed with knowledge of the Old Sith Arts. Once more the Sith are strong, united, and focused on taking out the Republc.

The Republic, meanwhile, is in the throes of a time that will be known as the Dark Age of the Republic. During the series of conflicts known as the New Sith Wars, thousands of worlds are abandoned to the New Sith Empire, while more are abandoned during the Republic's retreat. Thousands of longstanding corporations go bankrupt; lawlessness spread as the Republic government become increasingly overburdened and ineffectual; and numerous mines of valuable minerals dry up

However, all these events were merely a prelude to the Dark Age. The Senate granted almost all of its authority to the Supreme Chancellor, many of whom were Jedi at that point. The Jedi themselves wielded near-unlimited power. Although the unity of the Sith seems to have been broken by infighting, and the ongoing conflict was officially portrayed as merely a series of clashes against an illegal organization, the situation wore down the Republic Navy and Army, which likewise fell under increasing Jedi control.

The Republic has recently nominated a new Supreme Chancellor, can he bring back the burdened beast known as the Republic back from the brink of death in the wake of a New onslaught of Sith?

During all of this conflict, with the two sides focused on one another the criminal organizations of the Hutts and the Exchange thrive. And on the horizon, the Mandalorian people are rising once more under a new Mandalore, free from persecution on planets abandoned by both Republic and Sith. Currently, they rest on the sidelines, but with who will they ally if any?

What life does this tattered Galaxy bring to it's inhabitants, other than one of dangers and thrills? How will you affect such a Galaxy? Only time will tell when the end of this Age will be and how it will end.

Until then, peril and adventure awaits during The Darkest Age![/align]
