Description:

Old Republic is a play-by-post RPG game taking place in the Star Wars
(Expanded Universe), shortly after the Battle of Ruusan in 1000 BBY.

We follow an alternative timeline in which the Ruusan conflict had
catastrophic results for both the Jedi Order and the Sith. Within months,
the Republic and the Sith Empire have fallen apart, crumbling into
hundreds of tiny domains that struggle to survive the upcoming darkness.

However, neither the Jedi nor Sith were wiped out completely. A handful of
both survived and now try to bring back former glory to their orders, a
none too easy task.

The RPG system features a complex character creation and advancement with
balanced classes, as well as diceless interaction of characters.
