It is roughly One-Hundred-Ten years after the Battle of Yavin, fifty years after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, ten years since the events of the Praetorian War’s conclusion at Altar and the Galactic Cataclysm that followed, and a full two years since the close of the Rifts that Tainted the galaxy and caused ruptures in time and space...
Many Pessimists call this era the Galactic Death Spiral. That disaster after disaster, rise of Empires upon Empires, the shadowy corruption of criminal enterprises and pirates, the ruin of the Jedi and the rise of the Sith has since the fall of the Old Republic signaled one brilliant truth for the galactic community as a whole.
The End is Nigh.
In the face of overwhelming odds, destruction and untold horrors, there are still those who valiantly fight for peace, justice and the freedom of all beings. The Free People’s Republic, and New Galactic Order came together in the hope of making these ideals ring true, forming the Galactic Republic Order. The Daimon Empire, headless found itself adrift as its own resources pulled to the limit, it looked for one brief second there might only be a single dominant force in the galaxy.
Then Gideon Seraphes, a Sith attacked. Unleashing a Dark Cabal from within the Jedi Council. With an ancient Entity that plagued the minds of force sensitives. and across the galaxy they launched attacks, with clones of fierce warriors, insane leaders and valiant heroes. The Sith assaulted the Jedi Temple on Ossus, dominated the once proud capitol of the Alliance of Free System Bastion, stole the remainder of the Daimon fleet, burned Coral City on the Republic world of Mon Cala and lastly brought Justice in the form of Judicar Decimus to Smuggler’s Haven.
At the same time, the Hutts seeking to reestablish their own Empire struck out with piracy against the Republic, and Buffton Trade Corporation, stretching fleets thin with guerilla strikes on any trade route they could take advantage of. Mercenaries working for the Bufftons and Republic both sought to make up for the shortcomings in their fleets by buying help. The Mandalorian’s small but formidable fleet stood guard against the Chiss of the unknown region as their own society went through upheaval.
Despite being pushed to the edge of defeat several times over, the Jedi Order managed to overthrow the Dark Cabal, defeat the Entity and begin to push back against the chaos that raged ever onward. Seeing a need to empower the Jedi Order, the Galactic Republic Order offered them the old Headquarters of the Free People’s Republic on Coruscant, to which the Jedi eager to be apart of a government agency and have the authority to effect real change agreed to the move. Throughout this, the Sith seemed to attack randomly and with great efforts to take down force users they saw as threats.
In this chaos at the wedding of Vidya Naberrie of Naboo, a planet turned to glass in the Cataclysm, and Jonas Cato that Maltez Buffton, former head of the Buffton Trade Corporation and President of the New Order, returned seemingly from the dead. Soon after the wedding Maltez retookcontrol of the Buffton Trade Corporation and launched a whirlwind offensive against the Hutts and their pirate empire, seizing control of both and proclaiming himself Emperor. Shortly thereafter the Emperor’s planet of Nal Hutta is besieged and razed by the forces of Judicar Decimus in a failed assassination attempt of Maltez himself.
As Emperor Maltez Buffton rallied the outlying territories that had been feeling the brunt of the missing Daimon fleet, as well as forcing his own daughter, Queen Kara of Hapes, to join her star cluster to his Empire. This resulted in Kara’s attempted fleeing of Hapes, which ultimately had Emperor Maltez elect a governor for the system.
Under the Tyrannical Regime of Governor Jackel, the people of Hapes suffered untold indiginities and tragedies, inspiring the cluster to unite in revolve with a Resistance led by none other than Maltez’s own clone-son Nikolaus Creed and leader of the Resistance Evelyn Azalee. Remarkably they are able to overthrow the Jackel’s forces, but not without suffering tragic losses of their own. A Sith Lord, known only as Mother inflicts ancient runes upon Queen Kara which enabled her to inhabit the Queen’s body, but not before a Jedi Padawan sends the Queen and her wife Faith Dupree into a coma.
The Jedi Order seeing several forces of darkness dispatch Jedi Council member Master Iriki Tooanit to the cluster in hopes of unraveling the Sith Runes, and capturing the deadly Sith leader. This is met with heavy resistance and one of Mother’s acolytes Zahn, a clone of Maltez Buffton’s own private guard, manages to kill Iriki Tooanit before being dispatched himself.
Free of the shackles of the Jackel, the Hapans elect Evelyn Azalee to become Queen Regent in Kara’s steed, who wisely sought out the help of the Jedi Order in succeeding from the Buffton Empire. Negotiations are tense, and many games afoot, including vying for the comatose body of Queen Kara and her young children by the Emperor himself.
It is in this vying that Jedi Padawan Solomon Tekal, son of legendary Jedi Master Murra Tekal, is accused of murdering Queen Kara. His claim of it having been the work of Mother go unheard, as all evidence suggests his guilt. Meanwhile the loss of Queen Kara, served to unify Hapes in unanimously agreeing to be free of the Empire once and for all.
The fight to revive the Galaxy from its continued spiral into death continues, as a deadly new weapon makes itself known to the Empire, and the shadow of the multitude of Sith grows ever longer.
