Darkness and Light
The current year is 2153 ATC, or as you may know it, 1500 BBY. The New Sith Wars have raged across the galaxy for five hundred years. The Galactic Republic has struggled to defend its member systems in the Outer Rim from the growth of the New Sith Empire, whose strength and reach seems to increase with each passing day.

Within the Republic, tensions rise as the Rim systems call for more and more money and defenders from the financially-strained Core Worlds. More and more frequently, the position of Supreme Chancellor has been held by Jedi, meeting opposition from many worlds, who see such advances by the Jedi as a creeping plot to overthrow democracy.

The New Sith Empire lies to the galactic southeast, centered around its capital, Roon; its borders stretching throughout the Outer Rim, from Rattatak in the southwest to the edge of the Centrality in the northeast. In recent decades, they've successfully claimed planets along the Corellian Run nearly to the edge of the Inner Rim. The precise location of Roon is a closely guarded secret, and any wishing to enter or leave are ferried in and out by the Autumn Guard, one of the Empire's most feared agencies.

The Empire itself has been unstable in the recent past, with the previous Emperor — Darth Pravus — having risen in 2146 ATC with the support of the Autumn Guard, who at the time were only an internal security bureau. Following his ascension, Darth Pravus raised up the Autumn Guard to an Empire-spanning security and intelligence service, able to command the military, and investigate anyone for any reason; they became answerable only to the Emperor, and were allowed great latitude to do as they saw fit. Soon, they saw fit to remove him, and replace him with a new Emperor in 2153 ATC, a man called Vlad Von Drake II.
