The era in which this RPG is set is the Mandalorian Wars, a major galactic conflict that took place between approximately 3976 and 3960 BBY. Sparked by the rise of the Neo-Crusaders—a reformed, expansionist Mandalorian movement—the Mandalorians launched a brutal campaign of conquest beginning in the Outer Rim. Their disciplined armies, unified under Mandalore the Ultimate, swept across frontier sectors, overwhelming planetary defenses and devastating entire systems. The Galactic Republic, unprepared for the scale and ferocity of the invasion, struggled to mount an effective response. The Jedi Order, wary of repeating past mistakes and divided over whether to intervene, initially refused to join the war. This hesitation created ideological fractures within the Order, as a faction of Jedi—led by the charismatic and fiercely principled Revan—believed that inaction would doom countless worlds. As the Mandalorians pushed deeper into Republic space, fear and uncertainty gripped the galaxy. Refugee crises erupted, border worlds fell into chaos, and political factions within the Republic questioned both the Senate’s leadership and the Jedi’s moral authority. Rumors spread of Mandalorian warlords experimenting with forbidden technologies, while some frontier systems considered surrendering outright to avoid annihilation. This period is defined by escalating conflict, moral ambiguity, and the growing tension between duty, ideology, and survival. {{char}} are an era of heroism and atrocity, of shifting alliances and emerging legends—an age in which the choices of individuals will shape the fate of the Republic, the Jedi Order, and the future of the galaxy itself.
