Episode X: An Uncertain Future
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. . .
The New Republic rests on the precipice of full scale war,
with the chaos caused by the First Order making way for
other galactic forces to muster their might. The ripples
from the battles fought between the Resistance and the
First Order have been felt throughout the galaxy, and
without the Heroes of these times around to take their
place, others are forced to take up their mantle.
With the New Republic’s fresh army of clone ready just in
time, its enemies crowd around it from all sides, with the
Trade Federation, Empire, and the Sith Order all striking at
the New Republic from different sides, bringing the galaxy
into a full scale, free for all war.
Mandalorian Marauders, the First Order, the Resistance, and
the Eternal Fleet all threaten to tip the balance of power
as chaos reigns across the Galaxy.

3630 BBY- Loyalists of the Eternal Empire enter into hiding under the orders of Tenebrae after the destruction of the Eternal Throne. Heading to Tyus, a hidden planet in the Tyus Cluster naturally defended by the multitude of black holes there, the Eternal Empire set about secretly rebuilding the Eternal Fleet while awaiting the prophesized return of Tenebrae to lead them once more.
1430 BBY- The Dark Prophets of Tenebrae depart the Tyus Cluster in search of Tenebrae, creating a secretive order to keep watch and ready for his return. Passed from generation to generation, their true mission is lost over time, eventually leading to schemes to rebuild the Sith Empire of old. In time, offshoots of the Dark Prophets would lead to the rise of well known Sith leaders such as Darth Plageuis and Darth Sidious.
0 ABY- With the start of the Galactic Civil War, the Dark Prophets begin converting the population of Dromund Kaas to their cause, hiding themselves from detection through the use of the force, and beginning the reconstruction of the Sith Empire.
4 ABY- With the death of Jabba the Hutt, his criminal empire crumbles, gang warfare exploding as the Hutt Grand Council is thrown into disarray, fighting amongst themselves for years to come.
5 ABY- The New Republic and the Galactic Empire engage on Jakku, with the Galactic Empire defeated. The Imperial Remnant is pushed out of the Galactic Core, forcing them to the Galactic Northwest Mid Rim. The Imperial Remnant bides their time as they rebuild their forces and armies after the devastating defeat at Jakku. Grand Admiral Thrawn's knowledge became vital as the surviving Imperial Remnant retreated into the unknown regions, off of known hyperlanes.
- With the defeat of the Galactic Empire at Jakku, the planet of Mandalore rebels in force against Imperial occupation. With Clan Kryze and Bo-Katan leading the push with Darksaber in hand, the Mandalorians destroy the Imperial Strongholds on the planet, and Clan Saxon retreats with the Imperial Remnant. Pushing them out once and for all and old traditions renewed by their freedom, the Mandalorians fall to infighting between the clans as the traditionalists and pacifists fight one another over their differing views.
14 ABY- Under the secret guidance of the Supreme Leader Snoke, many of the remnants of the old Galactic Empire’s military break from the Imperial Remnant and are reorganized into the First Order, set on destroying the New Republic. With the pacifist New Republic not taking any direct action, General Leia Organa forms the Resistance to combat the First Order as the two both grow in power.
15 ABY- With the need for ships and soldiers, the Imperial Remnant enters a state of turmoil as the remaining forces vie for control. Moff Vark proclaims himself Warlord of the Empire, and begins to cut down any who dare stand in his way.
- With his true goal realized, Thrawn sends secret communication to the Chiss Ascendancy, to take advantage of the situation. The Chiss Ascendancy while maintaining their secrecy, creates an unsteady allegiance with Warlord Vark, and aids him in the coming civil war.
19 ABY- After a bitter civil war, Moff Vark seizes control of the Moff’s council, and forces the rest of the Imperial Remnant to swear fealty to him. Planning to eventually retake the Galaxy, Moff Vark orders for full scale construction of a new fleet for the empire. Without the Kuat Driveyards to use, Chiss architects begin construction of Imperial Shipyards in Remnant space.
- The Chiss Ascendancy makes use of Warlord Vark's trust, and while still xenophobic, nearly half of the positions of Moff are taken by Chiss admirals and generals. The Chiss Ascendancy continues to steer their plots of domination of the Galaxy, doing their best to steer Warlord Vark towards attacking the rest of the galaxy and further weakening opposition.
21 ABY- The Sith Kingdom grows in strength, silently beginning to rspread from Dromund Kaas. The Supreme Prophet Merilen declares himself the True Sith Emperor, after seeming to be possessed by a strange power. Merilen sends word to the the Eternal Empire on Tyus that Tenebrae has returned.
23 ABY- Under the guidance of the True Sith Emperor Merilen, the Dark Prophets organize themselves into a Sith Council and reclaim the planet of Korriban. Using the harsh world, they begin training cut-throat new apprentices. Meanwhile, Merilen begins the creation of a new Sith army, focusing his training on ground troops. His decision to ignore the need for a fleet is met with scrutiny, though none dare oppose him openly.
33 ABY- The Eternal Empire and the Eternal Fleet return to Dromund Kaas, bringing with them a Star Forge. The Sith Empire begins mass producing ships for their fleet. The influx of Sith Purebloods into the training on Korriban speeds up the process of training new Apprentices. The mix of the Sith and Eternal Empire causes friction however, with the members of the Eternal Empire who hail Merilen as the returned Tenebrae viewed as fanatics.
34 ABY- The Hosnian Cataclysm occurs, as the system is targeted and destroyed by the First Order’s superweapon, the Starkiller. Killing the majority of the New Republic’s political elite, new senators are elected and the New Republic considers its options to prevent such a tragedy happening again.
- After destroying the Starkiller weapon, the Resistance base on D’qar is discovered and the Resistance begins its evacuation. The First Order tracks down the Resistance fleet by tracking their ships through Hyperspace, and the Resistance fleet is effectively wiped out in the Crait system. The sacrifice of Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo destroys much of the remaining First Order fleet as well.
- [It is assumed here that the events of Episode IX occur, at which point Kylo Ren will be converted or killed, and the First Order ‘defeated’. In these events, the remaining important characters that have not yet died off - Rey, Finn, Poe, Leia, Rose, etc. will in some manner either die in the course of defeating them, or otherwise retire by 49 ABY.]
35 ABY- The New Senate is formed, with the capital re-established on Coruscant. The New Republic in light of their near destruction at the hands of the First Order, choose to no longer remain pacifist, instead issuing for the creation of the Grand Army of the New Republic.
- The Kuat Drive-Yards begin construction of newer versions of the Venator-class Star Destroyers and their complements, with the New Republic choosing to avoid the armaments of the Galactic Empire.
- Under orders of the New Republic, Kamino begins the creation of a new clone army, improving on the techniques used before, and with a modification of the inhibitor chips to include a failsafe to prevent a similar catastrophe to what had previously befallen the Galactic Republic.
- With the need for Generals, the New Republic called upon all surviving Jedi to return to rebuild the temple on Coruscant, and train a new order of Jedi. Jaxus Ke’ra, a former Jedi Master, Supreme General, and survivor of Order 66, returns to Coruscant and begins to train volunteer apprentices immediately. The training is much more rapid, combat oriented, and is performed in larger class-style settings then the old Jedi Order. Other survivors of Order 66 return to the New Jedi Order and begin assisting in the training of the Jedi.
36 ABY- The Sith Empire quietly begins to reclaim the surrounding systems, ensuring no word of their presence escapes the decimation as they creep towards Yavin. Their forces begin to swell rapidly as the trainees in their army near completion, and the added systems allow them to use the Star Forge to create more ships.
- Their bid to create a droid army for the New Republic passed over in favor of clones, the Trade Federation begins establishing factories in the outer rim territories no longer under the jurisdiction of the New Republic. Through the use of shell companies in the Corporate Sector, groups like the Zann Consortium and Black Suns begin funding the Trade Federation in return for the 'security droids' they've come to utilize through purchases in the Black Market.
39 ABY- The Mandalorian Clans have largely completed their fighting in a stalemate, with the pacifist, New Mandalorians exiled to Concordia. Over the years, the clans have found new, more lucrative deals than fighting amongst themselves. The Deathwatch, led by Clan Vizsla, is contacted by the Sith Empire, and begins it’s operation under Sith rule. Clan Saxon, having never regained the favor of the other clans who believed them to be traitors, remain with the Imperial Remnant to begin the training of a new group of Imperial Super Commandos. Clan Skirata, with many having clone heritage, were hired to Kamino to help train the new army of clones. With Boba Fett’s death in the Sarlacc, Clan Fett struggled heavily, until eventually joining with Nasrii the Hutt on his conquest. Clan Ordo remains to fight on Mandalore, and while many have tried to claim the title of Mand’alor, none have survived to hold the title for long.
44 ABY- Nasrii the Hutt assaults Nal Hutta with the assistance of Clan Fett and droids purchased from the Trade Federation, occupying Nal Hutta and Nar Shaddaa. Many Hutt clans abandon their holdings in the system and retreat across Hutt Space. With no one left to challenge his rule, Nasrii the Hutt begins to improve upon his criminal empire.
45 ABY - The First Order returns, their fleet rebuilt with the use of the offshoot Kuat-Entralla Engineering company. The five surviving Knights of Ren used their power to take control of the First Order. The strongest declared themselves Supreme Leader Sloane, while the others take command over the army, navy, special forces, and the training of the future Knights of Ren.
- Having failed to finish off the First Order, the Resistance utilizes the help of some of the less defensive members of the New Republic, who prefer to strike first rather than wait to defend themselves. Using the Mon Calamari Shipyards, the Resistance builds up its own fleet to take the fight to First Order and work outside the jurisdiction of the New Republic. Some of the more impulsive Jedi join them, in order to better combat the looming threat.
46 ABY- The completion of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant is completed, and the training has produced enough Jedi Knights and Masters that the Padawans can be trained on an individual scale. Knights begin their training with the Clone Soldiers they’re intended to command as the New Republic prepares their expected conflict with the First Order. Knights and Masters take on several Padawan’s at a time, as there are still not yet enough skilled knights for the traditional one Padawan, one Master system.
- The Jedi High Council is established, and Grand Master Ke’ra sits on the High Council with a Dozen other High Masters, whom are elected from the pool of Jedi Masters. These High Masters remain on the council until death, retirement, step down, or are voted off the council. Each serve as a High General in the Galactic Army of the New Republic, should the need to lead the armies as in days of old arise.
47 ABY- With the increase in the number of force users, and more harsh conditions in the days of old, several Sith Apprentices and Jedi Padawan’s defect from their masters and go into hiding. Clan Mereel and the Journeyman Protectors of Concord Dawn establish the Mandalorian Knights on the planet. Hiding the force users from their more stringent counterparts, the Mandalorian Knights begin their own style of training, with a focus on neither the Dark or Light side, but on honor above all.
- The battling on Mandalore reaches its end, the aftermath of a battle between Clan Ordo and Clan Kryze reveals a massive undiscovered Beskar deposit on the planet. The aging Bo-Katan is killed as her ship crashes into the surface, her Darksaber lost. Mandal Hypernautics takes claim over the Beskar and immediately begins creating a fleet for the victorious Clan Ordo, who begins preparing their own mercenary forces for the war looming on the horizon. Viz Ordo declares themselves Mand’alor, and claims many of the clans that share her vision of a traditional Mandalorian people. Only Clan Saxon, Vizsla, Fett, and Skirata have ignored the call of the Mand’alor, as the Mandalorian people prepare to join in galactic warfare. Clan Kryze and Ordo work together to try and recover the Darksaber from the wreckage, but the famous Mandalorian sword is never found, believed to have been secreted away by looters.
49 ABY - Present Day- With billions of droids produced by the Trade Federation, the greed of the Federation board grows. Using their droid armies, the Trade Federation have largely subjugated most of the southern galactic rim through blackmail, extortion, and threats of violence. Those who've refused have been met with military power, and the corporation has begun to place heavy taxes on each of the planets now under their control further fueling their war machine. Looking towards wealthier worlds, the Trade Federation finally gains the eye of the New Republic as it begins it's attempts to extort money from planets like Naboo and Malastare.
- The Sith Empire, having finished it’s preparations, finally begins it’s shadow attack and moves towards the Galactic Core, heading straight towards the New Republic controlled sectors. It’s forces led by hardened Sith Warriors, the assault on the New Republic worlds will grow bloody quickly. The Eternal Fleet sits in waiting for the opportune time to reveal itself and crush the enemy forces.
- Having finished his building his fleet and army, Imperial Warlord Vark turns his sight on the planets of the New Republic as well, hoping to strike at them hard before they have time to react. Sending scouts out to the nearby systems, skirmishes between Republic forces and Imperial Scout Troopers arise across the frontlines, worsening the already fragile relations between the Imperial Remnant and New Republic.
- Detecting a disturbance in the Force as full scale war approaches, Grand Master Ke’ra has ordered a full-scale mobilization of the Galactic Army of the New Republic, uncertain what threat he will soon be facing, only that it is coming soon. The newly completed clone forces on Kamino and their Jedi commanders are activated, with the Grand Army preparing to respond to the first signs of attack.
- The Resistance responds to rumors of the First Order aiding the Imperial Remnant, responding more quickly then the New Republic, but in smaller force. Their history of hit and run tactics serve them well, but only serves to further escalate the conflict.
- The First Order does their best to escalate the conflict and turn the uneasy peace between the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic into full scale war. In secret, the First Order has begun construction on a second Starkiller superweapon in a hidden region of the outer rim, with it’s rumored existence making the Resistance all that more aggressive to find and destroy the base before it can be completed.
