Overview
This is an RP set in the Star Wars universe, in the Old Republic Era. Specifically, this RP takes place in 3634 BBY, 3634 years before Star Wars IV: A New Hope, and about 10 years after The Old Republic MMORPG.
This is an era of much war and strife for the galaxy; the Sith Empire has broken the fragile peace treaty established upon the sacking of Coruscant. There is once again open war between the Empire and the Republic. The galaxy is home to many force sensitives, and the two superpowers have been snatching them up to be part of the Sith or the Jedi, respectively.

Background Information
There is a long-lost artifact called the Victus Crystallis which is said to amplify the powers of any force user to god-like levels. The Republic and the Empire have found out about this artifact and are sending small groups of spacers and force users to the legendary planet of Iego, where the artifact is said to be. Though the planet is widely regarded as a myth, their sources are credible, and both sides are desperate to attain the artifact. The ships must be packed with maintenance droids and back up parts in the shuttle bay, because the legend states that “angels” will make spacers crash land on the planet upon arrival. The characters must be cautious, as they cannot be sure what waits for them on Iego. Their goal is to set up a base and begin reconnaissance on the Victus Crystallis.
Spacers, mercenaries, and force sensitives that are interested in helping the Republic find the Victus Crystallis can report to Coruscant, Sector H-12 or the “Hope” Sector, while those interested in helping the Empire find the artifact can report to the Kaas City Spaceport on the planet Dromund Kaas.

Notes on the Template
Some of the categories may be slightly ambiguous, so here is an explanation of the less obvious components:
Affiliation: This refers to whether you are affiliated with the Republic, the Empire, or unaffiliated. Those who choose "unaffiliated" will still have to choose one of the groups to go to Iego with.
Battle Attire and Armor: At first glance, these two entries may seem identical. Battle Attire refers to the appearance of the attire, while Armor refers to the protective qualities of the attire.
Connections: This refers to characters that your character has an important connection to, one that is either relevant to the plot or the character's history. They become characters that the player can then call on as NPCs, though these characters may not affect the plot in a significant manner. If you are unsure what counts as significant, PM me before you post.
Force Abilities, Standard Abilities, and Special Abilities: The parameters of each are not explained above. Force Abilities are, obviously, any abilities that are a direct result of the force. Standard Abilities are any abilities that are natural to the character, or any abilities that are a result of past training or environment. Special Abilities are any abilities that do not fit into either Standard or Force Abilities.
Selecting Abilities
While selecting Standard and Special Abilities, the player has creative control. However, when selecting Force Abilities, one must keep their rank in mind.
Force users in this RP will start out as Jedi Knights or Sith. They are fairly seasoned in the ways of the force and should have several Force Abilities. The player is free to create these abilities if they so choose, but they should also consider checking the Force Powers link at the end of this post, in the Wookieepedia Links section. Keep in mind that the characters are NOT masters, so the level of their Force Abilities should not be incredibly powerful.
Selecting a Species
Only human, near-human or humanoid Species may be used. The species must also be sentient. For ideas on what Species to choose, check the Wookieepedia links at the end of this post.
Rules
1. All of the standard KHPlanet rules apply.
2. In this RP, my rules are law. Deliberate infractions will earn you a warning. A second warning earns you a one-way ticket out. This applies to infractions of the standard KHPlanet rules as well.
3. The RP is rated PG-13. No unnecessary gore, no sex (see rule 4). The exception is cursing, which is fine.
4. Romance is allowed, but anything past kissing will get you removed without a warning.
5. Here's a big one: proper spelling and grammar are required. I'm not going to hunt down misspellings or improper uses of there, they're and their, etc. However, if someone continues to make mistakes over and over again, I will give them a warning.
5. In accordance with KHPlanet rules, posts are a three-line minimum. No machine gun posting, just post when it feels natural. Breaking either of these rules is a deliberate infraction. If you are unsure if posting at a certain time will count as a machine-gun post, PM me and ask.
6. Respect your fellow RPers.
7. In accordance with standard KHPlanet rules, those that want to participate must post a template to this thread. I fully reserve the right to reject any template that I do not find satisfactory. I will not abuse this privilege, and if I do reject a template I will try to give at least one reason why I do not find it satisfactory.
8. At least one post per week is required. If you do not post for a week without PM'ing me a 'heads up', I will remove you from this RP.
9. I can and will add more rules if I see fit. I will not abuse this privilege, and I will always explain why the rule needs to be added.
10. When a one or more player characters start fighting one or more NPCs, I will post in this thread to give the players an idea of the NPCs power level. Some NPCs will be one-hit kills, while others will require more effort to take down.
11. Use of Force Abilities will result in fatigue. The more powerful the ability, the more it will fatigue the user. Your character does not have infinite stamina. Please keep this in mind during combat sequences.
12. To show that you read the rules, title your post "Hero of a New Saga."
