Greetings again for the eleventh month in a row, fellow SWRPers! This months newsletter includes fanmade art and a fan video and much more!

Site Changes & Information


A new timeline is coming!

Check out this fanmade video created by our very own Plot Moderator @Deviant!


Amazing! Everyone please thank him for his work!

Learn more about the new timeline by reading the following links: A New Timeline Approaches, Introducing the Jedi Order and Rebellion Faction, Introducing the Mandalorians and Introducing the Sith Empire!


Lore boards are closed to submissions until the new timeline commences next month. The only exceptions to this closure are:
  • Jedi/Sith holocrons that are created through plots
  • Locations that are themselves preparation for the new timeline (i.e., a stash location for a holocron, etc.)
If you have a question as to whether a lore submission you wish to write falls within this criteria, send @Malon a PM on the site or ask him on Discord.

As many of you may have noticed, ever since the sixth timeline with Dawn of the Republic, we have been forging a new site canon that loosely adheres to Disney's new canon, but is specifically tailored to the stories told on this website. In an effort to keep our site canon maintained, @Malon will be using the downtime to assess which lore articles will continue to be in effect next timeline, which will be updated for the new timeline, and which will need to be scrapped.

Finally, to honor the ending of this timeline check out @Plebometer's wonderful First Sith fan posters! Here's one amazing example:

Completed Player Plots

Intrigue on Ojom
Two Jedi discover a black market operation on Corellia, track it to Arkania and shut it down — acquiring an Arkanian Dragon and Argus Mobile Triage in the process.

Healing a Mind
Marina, with the assistance of a number of Jedi, was able to heal her mind, and put to rest her grief for her former Master, creating a small holo-record of his teachings.

Expanding Influence
Although the Jedi worked successfully to aid the people on Rakata Prime and Ifrane, their efforts were only partially successful on Jakku — failing to banish a powerful abomination that lived there. Despite this, the attack from the Sith Empire came shortly after its conclusion. With Operation Knightfall in effect, these locations would no longer be under the influence of the Jedi Order as they focused instead on preserving themselves in the years to come.

Uniting the Core(failed)
While multiple Deep Core worlds were assisted, the worlds were unable to be united before the scattering of the fleet and Vollen's death, making the effort moot. Though hopefully their assistance might have lent them some friendly ears in the times to come.

State of the Jedi Order

KmMeMzv.png
Four Jedi sacrificed themselves to kill Darth Evandrus. While noble, his death seemed to stir the Empresses rage and trigger an all out attack on the Jedi Order. The Sith Empire glasses Ellora temple and an invasion of Ruusan and Tython came swiftly after, attacks that the Jedi tried to stave off but failed.

Grand Master Wyck sensed death after death of his comrades and knew that the destruction of the order was near, despite all his efforts to bolster their defenses. Because of this he ordered operation Knightfall.

"This is Jedi Grand Master Wyck with a message for all surviving Jedi. Regretful I am, to report that night has fallen on the galaxy. The Sith Empire has defeated our Jedi Order on Tython and Ruusan; begun targeting other places sacred to our Order, they have. A final order from myself, this is: return to Brighthome with any ships remaining in our fleet. Stay away from any world or temple associate with our Order. Avoid detection. The time for Operation: Knightfall, it is. More instructions will I give you, when you all arrive. Be safe. Be strong. And may the Force be with you all..."

And soon Operation Knightfall began. Join the Jedi's final stand in: Battle for Coruscant - Dogfighting, Battle for Coruscant - Agile Fleet Action and the Battle for Coruscant - Heavy Fleet Action.

State of the Sith Empire

YGdmD6A.png
After Darth Evandrus' death, the Empress vowed to wipe out the Jedi Order once and for all. She launched several attacks on the order including Ellora, Tython and Ruusan. All attacks were successful, marking a tremendous win in the Sith Empires history... among many other wins.

The Empress not only launched several attacks, but asked her first husband Siris to give up the role of The Eternal and it's mask. She feared for his sanity and safety if he continued to wear it. Siris, as a loyal husband, decided to give up the mask. The mask, hurt and angry, summoned Vex to see if she was worthy to take over the role.

Before the reckoning of the Jedi, some events took place that shook the Empire. Sith Master Serie Fond, blind to her own failures and unhappy dealing with the consequences, attempted to defect from the Empire to the Jedi Order. The Sith Leadership caught wind of her plan and order the Black hand to deal with her. As one of the most lethal and effective organizations of the Order, the Black Hand successfully assassinated Serie Ford, leaving her body marked as a warning for other potential defectors.


State of the Hutt Cartel

lh6s47M.png
While the Hutt Cartel had a strong start to the war, the tides have changed. Slowly, the Republic has secured victory after victory, sending discouragement throughout the Cartel.


Then the Cartel lost the Battle of Alderaan and discouragement changed to fear.









State of the Republic

1K8sKvp.png
The Republic war effort against the Hutt Cartel has continued to grind onward, with some of the Republic officers distinguishing themselves in the line of duty.

In co-operation with allies within the Republic and outside of it, Hutt gang activities have been targeted, Republic supplies have been safeguarded and multiple Cartel gang operations have been wiped out entirely.

The Republic won the Battle for Alderaan, freeing it's people from the corrupt rule of Lucille and the Cartel.
