A living archive for Star Wars: The Old Republic roleplay.
StarForgeRP is a community-built reference and story archive centered on characters played on Star Wars: The Old Republic's Star Forge server. It connects the people, places, organizations, and events of a persistent shared setting, preserving the relationships, discoveries, decisions, and consequences that shape continuing stories.
Roleplay can take place in SWTOR, through Discord, or in another format agreed upon by the participants. Use the archive to explore the setting, develop a character, find connections, or catch up with a continuing story.
The Galactic Republic and Sith Empire remain at war, though the conflict affects individual worlds and communities differently. Current Setting explains which SWTOR developments StarForgeRP has adopted and the circumstances surrounding its shared present. Consult it when a character's background, age, affiliations, or experiences depend on galactic events.
Shared history also grows through roleplay. A changed relationship, new responsibility, discovery, or loss can continue to matter long after a scene ends, without determining what another participant's character must do next. Continuity & Canon explains how SWTOR lore and community-created history fit together.
Choose the section that best fits your interests, then follow its connections to related characters, places, organizations, and stories.
Meet the people and droids of the shared setting. Character dossiers document backgrounds, affiliations, abilities, relationships, and present circumstances, helping readers understand the experiences and connections behind individual lives.
Explore species, cultures, factions, organizations, Force traditions, and technology. These references explain the setting around a character without determining that individual's beliefs, loyalties, or choices.
Follow significant SWTOR history and events established through StarForgeRP. Check dates and chronology, understand earlier circumstances, and trace developments whose consequences continue to influence later stories.
Browse campaigns, missions, gatherings, and developing storylines. Find established situations to follow, possible ways to participate, or earlier records documenting outcomes and questions that remain unresolved.
Discover the worlds and places where characters live, work, travel, and meet, from settlements and facilities to strongholds, ruins, and persistent vessels. Explore their histories and connections to the people and stories associated with them.
Find practical help with participation, character creation, dossiers, continuity, terminology, and collaborative roleplay. Choose the guidance that answers your current question and return to it as your character develops.
A first encounter does not need to involve galactic leaders or a major battle. A familiar workplace, shared interest, delivery, or unresolved obligation can be enough to bring characters together. Start with a believable connection and leave room for the encounter to develop through play.
Look for possible connections through a character's work, affiliations, interests, relationships, or familiar places. Read their dossier before proposing shared history. Information available to players is not automatically known by their characters.
Explore stories still unfolding, including their established developments and unanswered questions. Read individual story records for participation details before proposing a place for your character. A continuing storyline is not automatically open to additional participants.
Find missions seeking or considering additional characters, and check each record's circumstances and participation conditions before proposing involvement. RP Hooks provides guidance for developing an opening and lists available hooks when any are posted.
Discuss proposed connections with the players concerned and leave decisions about their characters to them. See Roleplay Guidelines for further guidance on communication, character knowledge, and collaborative play.
