Welcome to Gaia! ::

Following the issue of Order 66, Chancellor Palpatine attempted to seize control of the Republic by eliminating the Jedi, Guardians of the Republic. However, In Lord Vader's assault on the Jedi Temple, the sheer number of Jedi, though under trained, quickly out numbered him and his forces, leading to their demise. Though having quickly lost his new apprentice, Lord Palpatine still had command over the Republic forces. He led a purge of Jedi across the Galaxy, which forced them to flee to planets who opposed the new tyrannical Emperor. After a year, the Jedi were able to reorganise and, along with military support from the rebelious systems, were able to being a succesful counter offensive against the new Empire. Over the next decade, millions of lives were lost as the two factions clashed in truly epic battles. Nonetheless, the Jedi-led Unified Repblic were able to push the Empire's forces all the way back to the Core Systems. It is here where the two met each other with full force. After months of constant, neither side proved the victor, but both had managed expend almost all their military resources. Left with little choice, a weak truce was agreed between the Empire and the Unified Republic, splitting the Galaxy almost directly in two, much Emporer Palpatine's annoyance.

Several years passed since a hault to the conflict, but the Galaxy still suffered. The space around Core Systems, including Coruscant, was littered with the remains of enormous space battles, while the surfaces of these planets were all but abandoned. Civilians feld to the Outer Rim worlds, fearing for their lives should the uneasy truce break. These refugees made these poor worlds extremely over-populated, so almost all lived a life of poverty. Moreover, with the Core Worlds abandoned, any form of Galactic economy completely disintigrated, forcing people to join the military, just to earn enough credits to survive. These massive military forces grew constantly and caused a strain on the Galactic truce, both sides expecting a strike from another. This, in turn, caused them to seek alternate means to protect their territories. An arms race ensued, and billions of credits were invested into techonolgical advancement by both the Empire and the Unified Republic.

Through their elaborate spy network, the Jedi have discovered that the Empire has designed a weapon of unparalled power, but has not yet begun construction of it. Concluding that it will unstoppable once finished, The Unified Republic has launched an invasion of the Imperial planet, Talus, the believed location of the plans for this "superweapon". Though the Jedi plan to destroy all reminants of this technology, to prevent it being used in the future, military leaders of the Unified Republic hope to secure the data for themselves and then liberate the galaxy with their own version of this weapon. As fleet drops out of the hyperspace, staring directly at the Imperial Stardestroyers, the Republic forces ready themselves for battle.

Only issue I see is the death of Vader. Means Palpatine is the last Sith, in theory. Shiteload of Jedi versus one man is kinda... Mean, even for Jedi. Some detail maybe into him maybe finding another Apprentice or even raising Dark Jedi could be beneficial.
