It is a time when civilization is under siege warlords and Force-users struggle to unmake the Republic and sow the seeds of chaos.
It is a time when The Jedi are in abundance, fighting on all fronts, only to be whittled down to near extinction over the course of several conflicts. It is a time of constant warfare, when peace has become little more than a memory and survival is threatened by armies in all parts of the galaxy. In these years of conflict, your heroes have limitless opportunities to become part of the galaxy's salvation- or it's destruction. This is the time of The Old Republic Era, and it is one of the most exciting periods in all Star Wars continuity. Soldiers fight on distant battlefields and defend planets close to home. Smugglers dodge Sith warships and bluff their way past Republic customs agents, while bounty hunters and mercenaries play both sides of every conflict for the greatest profit.
