StarForgeRP is an independent fan project supporting Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) roleplay, with a focus on characters played on the Star Forge server. Its reference pages and story archive connect the people, places, organizations, and events of a persistent shared setting.
Participants may play in SWTOR, on Discord, or through another mutually agreed format. The archive keeps meaningful developments connected across those experiences, helping readers understand earlier stories and discover possibilities for new ones.
Stories leave changes behind. An alliance formed, a responsibility accepted, or a discovery left unexplained can affect characters long after an encounter ends. StarForgeRP preserves the context needed to carry those developments into future play.
Records focus on what remains useful: who was involved, what changed, and which consequences or questions endure. Everyday exchanges need not all receive separate entries. A concluded story can still leave room for another to begin.
Players shape their own characters while sharing the circumstances of a story. Collaboration leaves room for disagreement, surprise, success, failure, and lasting change.
Stories can grow from personal concerns as readily as galactic conflict. A difficult job, family responsibility, or professional rivalry can give characters meaningful choices without placing them at the center of galactic history.
Background informs a character without deciding their personality or future. Species, culture, faction, profession, and Force tradition leave room for individual beliefs and choices. Unusual concepts are welcome when their circumstances and capabilities fit the setting credibly.
The Roleplay Guidelines explain how participants coordinate boundaries, character agency, contested outcomes, and consequences.
SWTOR supplies the setting’s primary external foundation, supplemented by compatible Star Wars Legends material. StarForgeRP’s original characters, places, organizations, and stories contribute an established community history of their own.
Continuity & Canon explains how these sources fit together and how to distinguish established information, interpretation, and unresolved claims. Community-created history belongs to StarForgeRP’s continuity without becoming official SWTOR lore.
Consult Current Setting for the shared present and adopted SWTOR story boundary. That page contains major story spoilers.
These pages inform readers; characters need their own reasons to know what the records contain. Hidden affiliations, disputed accounts, and undiscovered information retain their limits within the story. Established history gives participants something to build upon while leaving future choices open.
Seven principal sections connect different parts of the shared setting.
Home — An introduction to StarForgeRP and starting points for exploration.
Characters — Character dossiers, backgrounds, relationships, affiliations, and present circumstances.
Lore — Species, cultures, factions, organizations, Force traditions, technologies, and setting concepts.
Timeline — Significant SWTOR history and StarForgeRP events in chronological context.
Roleplay — Campaigns, missions, gatherings, hooks, developing stories, and concluded adventures.
Galaxy — Worlds, settlements, facilities, strongholds, ruins, persistent vessels, and other physical settings.
Guide — Help with participation, character development, dossiers, continuity, terminology, and site use.
Follow the relationships between records. A dossier may introduce an employer, a location may explain that organization’s work, and a story may reveal how both changed.
Explore the Character Directory for potential connections through characters’ work, interests, relationships, and familiar places. RP Hooks offers guidance on creating openings and a place to check for listed opportunities. Check participation details and coordinate an introduction before entering an existing story.
Start with a character whose circumstances you understand and a believable reason to meet someone. A delivery, shared interest, request for assistance, or unfinished obligation can provide enough ground for a first scene.
Getting Started introduces the shared setting, character development, useful documentation, and ways to find a connection. You can begin with a focused background and let experience add depth as relationships and stories develop.
