The Star Wars galaxy is huge. More than a billion star systems fall within the known reaches of space, offering countless opportunities for wonder, myster, and danger. Thousands of alien species live in this galaxy, from humble Jawas to powerful Wookiees. While humans are prevalent throughout known space, other species can be found every-where. In this galaxy, the many worlds share a common history that extends thousands of years into the past. A galaxywide government (be it Republic or Empire) maintains law and order thanks to faster-than-light travel provided by the amazing hyperdrive engine.
Because hyperspace makes the distance between the stars insignificant, trade, commerce, and culture mix freely in regions as diverse as the core and the Outer Rim.
You play the role of a Character in this setting. You carry a blaster or a lightsaber. You fly hyperspeed starfighters. You regulary converse with members of a thousand different species. You have acess to a dependable landspeeder or a helpful astromech droid. You might even be able to call upon the mystic power of the Force.
The galaxy isn?t all aliens and technology, however. Peril constantly endangers the galaxy, and only you can save it. You must battle evil Sith Lords, struggle against tyrannical Imperial forces, or vanquish invaders from other regions of space. You can depend on your own skills and abilities, your friends and allies, and a good ship to aid you. Hopefully, those things will be enough.
Listen! Do you hear that? It?s the sound of a thousand terrible things heading your way. But don?t worry, you can handle it.
And remember, the Force will be with you always.
