Synopsis
43 ABY. Almost forty years after the destruction of the second Death Star and the overthrow of Sheev Palpatine, the galaxy has struggled to manifest a new age of peace and stability. On the fringes, military campaigns had continued to abate Imperialist resurgences for over a decade, exhausting the former Rebel Alliance's hard resources. Efforts to establish new governance in the form of the interim Consulate have resulted in internal battles between Rebel factions, weakening an already vulnerable would-be "New Republic."

Now, beyond this decades old power struggle, the First Command - led by veteran rebel fighters - wages war with a relentless and highly co-ordinated neo-Imperialist order led by a rogue Dark Side adept named Reliquus, who believes himself a remnant of the old Sith and nurturer of the new.
