Plot/Story:
Prologue: Peace at Last?
It has been over three hundred years since the events surrounding the Mandalorian Wars, and the Jedi Civil War. Then, more than ever, the Galaxy, and the Republic governing it, were secure, though frail. This is mostly due to the fact that the Republic had, by this point, managed to subdue the two greatest threats facing it.
3653.BBY
Fifty years prior to this date, the new leader of the Mandalorians launched one final assault on the Republic with the few clans he had gathered together. The attack was ill-planned, poorly executed, and was destined to fail. The inner-rim worlds chosen were easily defended and the Mandalorians expunged. To end the fighting once and for all, the Republic recognized the Mandalorian people as a nation, and wrote up a treaty, the Treaty of Mandoa. Which, in an act that would earn him the name "The Betrayer", Mandalore signed it. This treaty stated that no world could be controlled by the Mandalorians and that no Mandalorian clan could number over a hundred. Thus, the Mandalorians were scattered, forced to live as Republic citizens, and were no longer any kind of power.
Long ago, over a hundred years to be certain, though none knew for sure the exact date, the last practitioner of the Sith, the last Darth, died. This severely weakened the sith religion, as there was no leader. And, though the terror of the Sith Lords had long been forgotten, the word "Sith" has taken on a new meaning.
A new Sith Empire, consisting of worlds and companies controlled by self-proclaimed "Sith Arisocrats", have chosen to leave the Republic and create a new empire in the expansion region of the outer rim. Where they could make their own laws. The Republic allowed them to continue their bid for power as the Sith Aristocrats had such great financial and political power, that their elimination would harm the Republic more than it would help it. The Republic thus considered the Sith a necessary evil.
However, all that is necessary for antagonism to succeed is that protaganists do nothing…
Whispers of Rebellion amongst the Mandalorians grew to a cry for vengence, and the Sith have attempted to annex worlds from the Republic. Those they could not buy, were taken by force…
The Republic grew afraid that there was no way to avoid yet another war.
Ch.1: The hidden conflict…
3602.BBY
Fear strangles a galaxy as the politicians carefully orchestrated peace falls down around them...
The Mandalorians have taken two worlds from the weakening grip of the republic, and have begun to fortify their positions. Their eyes look toward new worlds un-conquered, and enemies un-defeated. Mandalore, the Home world of the Mandalorians, has been liberated by a new Mandalore. The one, rumor has it, who destroyed “The Betrayer”. Though his fate is uncertain, some believe he met his end on Concord dawn, his second planetary victory. Another Stands up to take his place.
The Sith Empire has annexed a great number of planets in the expansion region, from the republic. Most of them prior to their surveillance, by republic officials. Though money will sway many who are seduced by the power and comfort it brings. However, the Sith committed what some have called, an act of war. Though its official blame has been set upon the shoulders of the Jedi, the Sith have taken over the planet of Dantooine. As we speak they are strengthening their grip. Their eyes rest on their next objective. The Planet of Dac, the home world of the Mon Calimari, and the Quarren.
The Republic has fought valiantly against both opponents. Though when one is set upon by two dogs, they cannot face one, for fear of being attacked by the other. Their fronts are divided. They lack leadership, and funds. Their outlook is bleak.
Where though are the Jedi, the defenders of the republic? Some have been dispatched to many of the outlying worlds to attempt to bring peace. Whilst rumors persist of a darkness on Subterrel, hidden, and sealed away. The Grandmaster has passed into the force, and a new one is rising to take up the mantle.
Both sides of this hidden conflict have begun to fund piracy, in the hopes of weakening their enemies. Many mercenaries, cutthroats, assassins, and privateers, have begun to flock to the banners of both Sith and Republic. Their bellies grow fat, on the spoils of the inevitable conflict that is to come.
