Re: Request to Join & Character Creation
This game will be using the Age of Rebellion sourcebook rules for the Force.
There are no more trained Jedi at large in the galaxy, as far as anyone knows. Any trained Jedi are deep in hiding and not accessible to your characters.
Thousands of Jedi travelled the galaxy for a hundred years or more, involving themselves in the most important matters in the Republic. Whatever your opinion about the Jedi, you were certainly aware of them. That changed very quickly.
The Empire's agents moved from planet to planet, system to system, seeking everything connected to the Jedi. With terrible accuracy, they were able to hunt down everything related to the Jedi and destroy it.
All lore regarding the Jedi has been aggressively suppressed for decades. It was the top priority of the Empire after the were Jedi Purge to destroy artifacts and corrupt information. Darth Vader himself travelled the galaxy, hunting every rumour of the Jedi.
One would think that simply hiding a file or a lightsaber would be simple if one were careful. This was a mistake that many sympathizers made. Somehow the Empire was always able to hunt down any cache. Anyone attempting to conceal secrets was purged just as the Jedi themselves: thoroughly, and without mercy.
The Jedi lived -- and were destroyed -- well within living memory for many species. Since the Purge, anyone who even speaks too much about the Jedi is hunted down and destroyed with that same swiftness and certainty.
Even as this terrible violence occurred, its mission expanded. Soon the Empire were dispatching fleets to worlds where the people had traditions of mysticism. Psychics, healers, diviners, and sacred warriors were slain. Often these entire cultures were wiped out, like on Toprawa. Others were garrisoned and isolated, like Iridonia.
To this day, it is a deadly risk to even speak of Jedi. To hold one of their symbols invites the Dark Lord of the Sith's furious vengeance.
