đ Major Factions
Explore the powers shaping the galaxyâfrom the Republic and Sith Empire to Mandalorian clans, Force orders, and criminal syndicates
đŚ Galactic Republic:
A beacon of democracy and fragile hope. The Republic is an alliance of countless worlds, governed by the Galactic Senate and protected by the Jedi Order. It upholds peace, justice, and freedomâbut beneath the surface lie corruption, gridlock, and a growing sense of vulnerability as war looms in the shadows.Â
đĽ Sith Empire:
A ruthless autocracy led by the Sith Emperor and the Dark Council. The Empire prizes strength, obedience, and conquest through the Dark Side. Its power-hungry Lords and loyal Imperials seek to dominate the galaxyâand destroy the Republic in the process.Â
đ§ Jedi Order:
A monastic, Force-wielding tradition devoted to peace, wisdom, and harmony through the Light Side. As guardians of the Republic, Jedi serve as mediators, defenders, and philosophers. But fractures are forming even within their ranks, as doubt and division threaten their path.
Â
đĄď¸ The Mandalorians:
A battle-forged warrior culture bound by clan, creed, and honor. Fiercely independent, Mandalorians live by codes of strength and loyalty. Though not tied to any single faction, Mandalorians often join galactic warsâfor glory, vengeance, or the right priceâand have fought alongside both Republic and Empire.Â
đ The Hutt Cartel:
A sprawling underworld syndicate with influence from Nar Shaddaa to Tatooine. The Hutts thrive on spice, slavery, weapons trade, and shady deals. They serve no governmentâonly profit, and those bold (or desperate) enough to do business with them.
đ°ď¸ Other Organizations:
Beyond the major powers lies a tangled web of smaller but influential groups:
Pirates & smugglers.
Corporate titans like Czerka Corporation.
Criminal syndicates.
Cults and Force-sects.
Resistance cells and rogue scientists.
These wildcards shape the galaxyâs undercurrentsâone deal, one discovery, or one betrayal at a time.
