The Expansion Region contained many newer colonies sponsored by their coreward neighbors. Notable planets included Umbara , Mimban , [15] [6] and the mining station known as the Ring of Kafrene. The Mid Rim was a tranquil region of space that brimmed with varied galactic worlds that boasted successful governments and thriving economies.
Distance from the Core gave these worlds less fame or notoriety than planets closer to the galactic center. The largest [15] region of the known galaxy, the Outer Rim Territories were considered to be lawless, strange, and savage. Criminal organizations, including the Hutt families of Hutt Space , the Black Sun , Pyke Syndicate , and Zygerrian slavers operated in abundance within the region.
The Unknown Regions was composed of the westward arm of the galaxy that was mapped, but largely unexplored. Unlike other regions of the galaxy, Wild Space existed along the entire circumference of the galactic disk and on the borderlands of the Unknown Regions. The history of the galaxy has unraveled for untold millennia. The development of civilizations in all of its regions was not only influenced by physical geography, but also by urban geography and architecture, as inhabitants sought to put their own stamp on the worlds in which they inhabited.
Due to the unimaginably large distances between systems, spacecraft utilized a propulsion system known as a hyperdrive to travel through hyperspace, an alternate dimension where a starship could take advantage of the wrinkles in the fabric of realspace to reduce journey time significantly, effectively "jumping" from point to point without having to travel directly between them.
Approximately twenty five millennia before the Battle of Yavin , one or more ancestor species discovered the hyperdrive, which opened the galaxy up for exploration and travel. The Jedi Order, a noble order of protectors unified by their ability to harness the power of the Force , [26] was founded over twenty five thousand years before the Battle of Yavin. The Sith built galactic-wide empires through the use of slave labor.
After the Sith were driven away , the Jedi Temple was constructed over the shrine's foundations. Roughly a millennium before the Battle of Yavin, the Sith were defeated by the Jedi [8] and the Galactic Republic [24] and driven into hiding, presumed extinct. For a thousand years the Senate of the Galactic Republic governed the galaxy from its headquarters on Coruscant. Around BBY , the modern Galactic Republic was founded with the time before its rebirth being forgotten as a dark age known as the "Old Republic.
In the process, they also cut deals with native populations or simply overran them. During the High Republic Era , the galaxy was believed to be at peace, resulting in less of a need for military forces. In the years leading up to the Clone Wars, Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas foresaw an upcoming conflict and, against the wishes of the Jedi Order, commissioned the Kaminoans to create a clone army on Kamino.
The Federation was eventually expelled by a coalition of Naboo humans , Gungans , and Jedi. Senator Sheev Palpatine of Naboo took advantage of the occupation of his homeworld in order to succeed Finis Valorum as Supreme Chancellor. The creation of the Republic clone troopers would herald the dawn of the first pan-galactic war in a thousand years.
During the Separatist Crisis, several thousand star systems and corporations declared their intention to leave the Republic. The Clone Wars engulfed much of the galaxy for the next three years. Palpatine then took the opportunity to destroy the Jedi Order and to transform the Republic into the first Galactic Empire.
However, some managed to survive and the flames of the Jedi continued to burn in the galaxy, although with much less force than before. Planets considered unimportant and unpleasant, like Tatooine , [11] a desert world with great criminal influence, Dagobah , [46] a wild and swampy world, and Bracca , [47] a scrap world where the Scrapper Guild worked, were used as hiding places by the Jedi. With the rise of the Galactic Empire, the galaxy was once more ruled by the Sith. The fascist Galactic Empire became the dominant government of the galaxy for the next two and a half decades.
The Empire assumed control over galactic society, interplanetary economies, the HoloNet , and a sprawling Imperial Military. The revamped Imperial Senate saw more of its powers being transferred to planetary and regional governors who had been appointed by the Empire. The Imperial Survey Corps took an interest in exploring the uncharted reaches of space, including the Unknown Regions [8] and Wild Space. As a result, the demand for maps and cartographers exponentially increased.
This allowed explorers such as Auric and Rhyssa Graf to make a decent living from selling maps until they were kidnapped by the Imperial Captain Visler Korda. The Empire also expropriated land and resources and ruthlessly stamped out dissent. HoloNet and other media became a propaganda medium for the Empire.
In the Imperial order, aliens were regarded as serfs, slaves, and obstacles needing to be tamed, removed, or ignored. Humans came to dominate the Imperial government and military while alien species such as the Wookiees and Talz were enslaved. Solo and his companions Chewbacca , Qi'ra , Tobias Beckett , Calrissian, and L had earlier stolen coaxium from the spice mining world of Kessel in order to settle Beckett's debts to the Crimson Dawn syndicate.
Solo and his companions were later involved in the death of the Crimson Dawn leader Dryden Vos. As the Empire tightened its grip on the galaxy, resistance movements sprang up on a number of worlds. Most of these movements were strictly local, determined to free an individual planet or star system from Imperial rule. Around 4 BBY , rebel cells began to coalesce into larger groups such as the Phoenix Cell , ending a previous policy of maintaining secrecy [59] and beginning the Galactic Civil War.
After a generation in power, the Empire sustained a major defeat at Endor, resulting in the loss of both the second Death Star and the Emperor.
However, Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker managed to redeem his father Darth Vader, who sacrificed himself to save his son by killing the Emperor, [64] which restored balance to the Force. After the Battle of Endor, the New Republic was formed to mark the beginning of a new chapter in galactic history. The Galactic Civil War reached a new crescendo as the New Republic made numerous advances on multiple fronts against the bewildered remnants of the Empire.
Han Solo , Chewbacca , and a team of Wookiee exiles and other allies also liberated the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk from Imperial rule. However, the chaos caused by the civil war and the death of the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure allowed various criminal factions including the pirate lord Eleodie Maracavanya and the Red Key Raiders to gain traction.
The expanded universe treated Star Wars as a world with depth upon which the original films had only touched. When the game launched in , creating a character meant entering a complex simulation. Your choice of race, for example, determined which languages your character could speak. The majority spoke Basic see also: English plus one other language specific to them, while Wookiees could speak only Shyriiwook see also: Chewbacca.
Each language constituted two different skills—listening and speaking—and players could teach these skills to one another. Instead of classes, Star Wars Galaxies gave each character a budget of skill points to spend on professions that could be freely mixed and matched in whole or in part. Interdependency between players was encouraged. Light injuries would heal over time, but more serious wounds would not.
These would require the attention of a player medic, often found in medical centres where they received a bonus for their work. Similarly, you might choose to buff your stat pools with food created by a chef or go to a cantina, where player musicians and dancers could offer buffs to experience gain. When it worked, this created a wonderful sense of place. Players came up with get-rich-quick schemes for themselves or took up jobs to pay the bills on their way to something else.
You might start a mining company just to save enough money for an expensive off-world shuttle, and once on that other world you might decide to settle down and never come back. If you were looking for a new blaster, you would scan listings for advertisements from players, journey to their shops in player-built cities, and buy what you wanted from customised NPCs in buildings that had been decorated through an elaborate object manipulation system with the help of player architects and interior designers, naturally.
When it did not work, in those early days, it was because of balance problems. It was a form of Star Wars kung fu invented for a fighting game on the original PlayStation and, through developer oversight, it came to define early Star Wars Galaxies.
Doctors, realising their clientele were in a hurry, relocated to areas outside of starports on hub worlds. You have to understand Star Wars Galaxies both in terms of what it could be and what it frequently was. What it could be was a game where evocative Star Wars narratives were generated on the fly by a complex set of social systems. What it frequently was was a game where players in identical armour holding knuckle dusters queued for buffs from a man in a coat in the rain.
