StarForgeRP is a community-built archive and reference resource for collaborative roleplay involving characters played on the Star Forge server in Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Characters, stories, locations, lore, relationships, and shared history are preserved here as part of an ongoing continuity. Use the archive to understand the setting, develop believable characters, discover connections, follow developing stories, find opportunities for roleplay, and see how earlier events continue to shape the present.
Roleplay itself may happen in-game, through Discord, or through another format agreed upon by the players involved. StarForgeRP gives that roleplay somewhere to persist so that relationships, discoveries, consequences, and shared history can continue to matter after an individual scene ends.
StarForgeRP Present Day: 3621 BBY / 32 ATC · Story Baseline: Game Update 7.9 — Legacy Reborn
StarForgeRP currently uses 3621 BBY / 32 ATC as the present-day anchor for its shared continuity. This is a reconstructed StarForgeRP chronology point rather than an exact BBY date officially assigned by SWTOR. Established story material through Game Update 7.9: Legacy Reborn is treated as having occurred.
The Galactic Republic and Sith Empire remain engaged in open war, but the galaxy is not one continuous battlefield. Conflict, reconstruction, shortages, political uncertainty, crime, damaged institutions, and the consequences of earlier crises affect different worlds and communities in different ways.
That leaves room for stories at many scales. Characters may become involved in military operations, intelligence work, politics, crime, trade, exploration, medicine, archaeology, investigation, reconstruction, local disputes, professional rivalries, family obligations, personal relationships, or ordinary work complicated by an unstable galaxy.
Community-created stories develop alongside established SWTOR history rather than replacing its major protagonists or rewriting its central events. They can nevertheless leave lasting consequences for characters, relationships, organizations, communities, businesses, locations, and regional circumstances.
For the fuller state of the galaxy and the current continuity boundary, see Current Setting.
Each major section of StarForgeRP answers a different question about the shared setting. Use the archive according to what you need now rather than feeling that you need to read everything before becoming involved.
Who inhabits the shared galaxy? Browse character dossiers to learn about backgrounds, affiliations, relationships, current circumstances, important developments, and potential points of connection. Characters are living parts of the continuity and can change as roleplay gives them new responsibilities, loyalties, relationships, conflicts, opportunities, and consequences.
What shapes the setting? Research factions, organizations, species, cultures, Force traditions, technologies, historical subjects, and other concepts relevant to Old Republic-era characters and stories. Lore entries focus on useful roleplay context rather than attempting to reproduce an exhaustive Star Wars encyclopedia.
When did it happen? Follow established SWTOR history alongside significant StarForgeRP developments through a shared chronology. Use the Timeline to understand when events occurred, how different periods connect, and which earlier developments continue to matter in the present.
What stories are happening? Discover active roleplay, campaigns and story arcs, missions, events, open situations, and completed stories preserved within the archive. The Roleplay section records what develops through play while helping players find believable ways for their characters to become involved.
Where does it happen? Explore planets, systems, cities, settlements, bases, facilities, strongholds, ruins, landmarks, and other physical locations important to StarForgeRP. Galaxy entries focus on the conditions characters can meaningfully experience and the people, organizations, histories, conflicts, and opportunities connected to a place.
How does StarForgeRP work? Find guidance on getting started, character creation, continuity and canon, collaborative roleplay, character dossiers, terminology, and other practical questions about participating in and using the archive.
Continuity reviewed: August 2026.
Game Update 7.9.1: Light and Shadow has been released, but it does not advance StarForgeRP's main-story baseline beyond Game Update 7.9: Legacy Reborn.
Game Update 8.0: Masters of the Force has been announced as SWTOR's next era, beginning with the Galaxy in Chaos storyline. Those unreleased story events are not yet part of StarForgeRP's present-day continuity.
StarForgeRP does not need to predict the consequences of unreleased material. When new SWTOR story content becomes available, it can be reviewed for chronology, branching outcomes, faction conditions, and consequences before the shared setting advances.
You do not need to know every part of SWTOR lore, read the entire archive, or decide your character's whole future before becoming involved.
Start with enough context to understand the present setting and where the character fits within it. Then give them at least one believable connection to the wider world: a person they know, a place they frequent, an organization they serve or encounter, a profession that brings them into contact with others, a responsibility they cannot ignore, a problem they need solved, or an opportunity they have reason to pursue.
The Character Directory can help you discover people your character might plausibly encounter, while RP Hooks can provide situations and opportunities from which a story may begin.

The rest can develop through play.
