The Old Republic
~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Revan and the Exile went to the Unknown Regions to battle the Sith, most thought he would succeed.
They were wrong.
Four hundred years have passed, while the galaxy has recovered from the Mandalorian and Jedi civil Wars. Most planets have finished recovery, and even the Jedi Order is up to pre-war levels.
That's when they came.
Out of nowhere, the Sith invaded, flooding over the Republic like a plague. Wardroids, Sith warriors, mandalorians, and more hit each planet, with such ferocity as hadn't been seen since Darth Revan.
It took a while, but gradually the Republic began to recover. The two sides fought to a standstill, until the Sith feigned weariness. While meeting for a peace treaty on Alderaan, the Sith launched a
bold invasion of Coruscant . The Republic were caught completely off guard as their capital was sacked, and a large portion of the Jedi Order was slain.
~
Fast forward six months. The peace treaty took hold, but on Sith terms. Coruscant is held by the Sith, as well as much of the Mid and Outer Rim, while the Republic has relocated their capital to Alderaan. The war is at a terse standstill, and the galaxy is divided in two. While the temporary truce endures, both sides ready for a return to the war.
Which side will you choose?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Based on the upcoming The Old Republic MMO.
Characters choose between two factions: the Sith Empire, or the Republic. They can choose a variety of 'classes' to determine how their character behaves, and then go out in the galaxy to make their mark, either in defense of their home, or as an aggressor.
Neutral characters such as Bounty Hunters and Smugglers will also be allowed.
The roleplay will be multi-thread, with a variety of established planets for each character to visit and participate in.
