Embedded Files
Explore the people, institutions, traditions, equipment, and historical influences behind StarForgeRP’s shared Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) setting. Find references that help explain a character’s circumstances and connections to the wider galaxy.
A background provides influences and possibilities. Individuals decide what they value, whom they trust, and how they respond to the communities and experiences that shaped them.

Choose the subject closest to your question. Related references can help you follow a connection across political allegiance, cultural identity, professional life, and personal history.
Explore governments, political alliances, and powers whose influence shapes citizenship, diplomacy, trade, and conflict. Find the wider political circumstances surrounding a character’s home, loyalties, or service.
Find orders, military and intelligence services, companies, criminal networks, coalitions, movements, and other institutions. Explore how training, employment, membership, and assigned responsibilities connect characters to colleagues, resources, and lasting obligations.
Discover species backgrounds through physical characteristics, ancestral worlds, histories, and cultural connections. Consider how upbringing and individual experience shape a character’s relationship with that heritage. SWTOR’s playable species options do not define the limits of the setting.
Explore belonging through language, customs, households, work, belief, and shared activities. A character may inherit familiar practices, learn new ones, or understand the same tradition differently from someone raised elsewhere.
Explore approaches to understanding and practicing the Force, including teachings, methods of instruction, and responsibilities toward others. For institutional membership, ranks, and service, see Organizations.
Find references for weapons and defenses, droids, cybernetics and medical systems, starships and vehicles, communications and data security, specialist machinery, and ancient, rare, or experimental technology. Connect what a device can do with the expertise, maintenance, supplies, and facilities that support its use.
Explore conflicts, earlier civilizations, movements, influential figures, and their continuing legacies. Follow how the past shaped institutions, communities, discoveries, and inherited responsibilities. Use Timeline when your question concerns dates, sequence, or the circumstances of a particular period.
Using Lore in Roleplay
Using Lore in Roleplay
Choose a detail that matters in the character’s present life: a skill learned during earlier service, a custom they want to preserve, a professional responsibility, or a historical question they have reason to investigate.
How did they encounter this part of the setting?
Who influenced their understanding, and where might that understanding be incomplete?
What relationship, practical need, or obligation follows from it?
What could invite another character’s involvement while leaving their response open?
The Character Creation Guide helps connect these choices into a background with believable capabilities, limitations, and reasons to meet other people. Establish shared history with the participants involved and leave future decisions to play.
Lore, Continuity & the Shared Setting
Lore, Continuity & the Shared Setting
StarForgeRP combines SWTOR’s setting, compatible Legends references, and history established through community storytelling. Continuity & Canon explains how to distinguish those foundations from interpretation, proposed additions, and uncertain accounts.
Consult Current Setting for the shared campaign date, adopted SWTOR story boundary, and contemporary galactic circumstances. That reference contains major SWTOR story spoilers.
Published information may exceed what a character knows. Consider their access to witnesses, instruction, and records, as well as what a source could misunderstand or conceal. A recorded claim can remain disputed even when the record itself is authentic.
