Welcome to Star Wars: Cold War, an Alternate Continuity RP in the Star Wars Universe. We've been running with a good group for a while, but due to several people dropping out, I've decided to open the RP for new player applications.
If you are interested in joining, please see this page for information on how to apply, as well as to view information which will bring you up to speed with the RP. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/540.335797-Star-Wars-Cold-War-Accepting-Profiles#13557094]

The year is 9ABY. Five years have passed since the Battle of Endor, which ended with the destruction of the Second Death Star. The Emperor survived Darth Vader's betrayal, only suffering a stab wound instead of being thrown down a reactor. He then escaped, and continued his war against the Rebellion, despite his ailing body.
In 6ABY, the Liberation of Coruscant happened. The New Republic drove the Galactic Empire from the Capital after a grueling space battle, ending when the Emperor was captured by Jedi Knights, who forced the Empire to sue for peace. A tenuous ceasefire has been in effect for several years, but this Cold War may not last long.
Both the Jedi and the Sith were not so beaten in this alternate timeline. Far more Jedi escaped Order 66, and several Masters have come out of hiding to join Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order. Building a new, smaller Jedi Temple on Coruscant, Luke's order has grown significantly, giving the New Republic the next generation of Jedi defenders.
However, the Sith too have survived. Rogue dark Jedi swearing allegiance to nobody roam the Outer Rim, intent on bringing destruction and Chaos to the galaxy. Corrupt politicians vie for power within the Empire. Criminal syndicates wage war with each other in the shadows. Jedi fall to the dark side as Bounty Hunters track down valuable targets for both factions. Increasing border skirmishes and military buildup are cause for concern.
The Cold War is about to go hot.
