StarForgeRP is a community-built archive and reference resource for collaborative roleplay set in the era of Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Characters, stories, locations, lore, and shared history are preserved here as part of an ongoing continuity. Use the archive to research the setting, discover characters and organizations, follow developing stories, find opportunities for roleplay, or understand how earlier events continue to shape the present.

StarForgeRP does not replace roleplay conducted through Discord, in-game, or another agreed format. It gives that roleplay a lasting record—a setting that remembers what happened and gives future stories something to build upon.

StarForgeRP currently uses 3621 BBY as the present-day anchor for its shared continuity. The archive incorporates established SWTOR story material through Game Update 7.9: Legacy Reborn, which concludes the Legacy of the Sith storyline. This is StarForgeRP’s chosen continuity point rather than a claim that every SWTOR event has a firmly established official BBY date.

The renewed conflict between the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire remains one of the major pressures shaping the galaxy. Official SWTOR material continues to frame the Republic–Imperial war as a major part of the Legacy of the Sith-era setting.

That conflict is important, but it does not define every character or every story. Independent governments, Mandalorians, corporations, criminal networks, mercenaries, local organizations, Force traditions, frontier communities, and ordinary people continue to pursue their own interests. Some characters may become directly involved in galactic conflicts; others may encounter their consequences only indirectly.

This leaves room for roleplay at many scales: military operations, intelligence work, political maneuvering, criminal enterprises, exploration, trade, professional rivalries, investigations, local disputes, personal relationships, or stories beginning with nothing more dramatic than two characters having a believable reason to meet.

Established SWTOR history provides the foundation. StarForgeRP stories develop alongside that history rather than replacing its central protagonists or rewriting major established events. Community roleplay can nevertheless create lasting personal, organizational, local, and regional consequences within the shared continuity.

For the fuller explanation of the archive’s present circumstances, see Current Setting.

Discover the people who inhabit StarForgeRP. Character dossiers preserve backgrounds, affiliations, relationships, current circumstances, significant developments, and potential roleplay connections while recording how characters change through ongoing play.

Research the factions, organizations, species, cultures, Force traditions, technologies, historical subjects, and other concepts that shape life in the Old Republic era. Entries focus on the context most useful for understanding characters and creating believable stories.

Follow established SWTOR history and StarForgeRP community developments through a shared chronology. Use the Timeline to understand what happened, when it happened, and which consequences continue to matter in the present.

Discover stories and opportunities across StarForgeRP. Browse active roleplay, campaigns and story arcs, missions, events, open RP Hooks, and completed stories preserved within the archive.

Explore the places where stories happen, from planets and systems to cities, settlements, bases, strongholds, facilities, ruins, landmarks, and other locations important to StarForgeRP continuity.

Learn how StarForgeRP works, including how to get started, how continuity and canon are handled, expectations for collaborative roleplay, character dossier guidance, terminology, and frequently asked questions.

[Introduce the character in two or three sentences. Focus on their present circumstances, important connections, goals, conflicts, responsibilities, or unresolved situations. Give another player a reason to explore the dossier rather than summarizing the character’s entire biography.]

[Explain the central situation, who or what it affects, and why the story matters to current continuity. If active, identify believable opportunities for involvement where appropriate. If completed, emphasize consequences that remain relevant.]

[Explain why this location matters for roleplay now. Emphasize the people, organizations, services, conflicts, dangers, history, or developing situations connected to it rather than reducing a full Galaxy entry to a miniature encyclopedia article.]

[Briefly explain what the subject is, why understanding it is useful for roleplay, and which characters, organizations, locations, or current stories make it particularly relevant.]

[Summarize what was added or changed in one or two sentences. Where useful, explain why it matters—for example, a new character available for connections, a completed story with lasting consequences, a changed location, or newly documented continuity.]

StarForgeRP treats roleplay as part of a persistent shared history. Characters, relationships, organizations, locations, and stories can change through play, and developments that remain important beyond a single scene can become part of the wider archive.

Characters may change loyalties, form relationships, gain responsibilities, suffer setbacks, create enemies, build reputations, or leave problems unresolved. Organizations may gain or lose influence. Locations may be damaged, rebuilt, occupied, abandoned, discovered, or given new importance by the stories that take place there.

When those developments matter to future roleplay, they can be reflected across character dossiers, story records, Lore and Galaxy pages, and the Timeline (https://www.starforgerp.com/timeline). Later stories can therefore inherit circumstances created by earlier ones rather than beginning from an unchanged setting.

No single player-character needs to determine the fate of the galaxy for their actions to matter. A failed mission, damaged friendship, contested settlement, new alliance, professional rivalry, political decision, discovery, debt, or unresolved question can create consequences that continue long after the original scene ends.

You do not need to know every part of SWTOR lore, read the entire archive, or have a character’s whole future planned before becoming involved.

Start with enough context to understand the current setting and where your character fits. Then find one believable connection: a person they know, a place they frequent, an organization they serve or encounter, a profession that brings them into contact with others, a problem they need solved, an obligation they cannot ignore, or an unanswered question worth pursuing.

From there, explore the Character Directory for possible connections, browse RP Hooks for open opportunities, or use the wider archive to learn about the places, organizations, history, and circumstances surrounding the character.

The Getting Started guide explains the shared setting, continuity approach, character considerations, and practical next steps.

The rest can develop through play.
