The first step to joining any of the factions is to first make a profile, it doesn’t have to be fancy, but it will need these areas filled:  
 

 
  
The minimum content needed in the personality and background areas is one paragraph, that’s about five full lines of text. You will be able to go back and make edits later on if you wanna flesh things out, but that minimum must be provided.    
  
If you are from another Star Wars RPG and you would like to move your character to our forum, please have the profile fleshed out, this includes training, ranks and other detailed information to prove you have earned the position they are at. Depending on circumstances you might end up starting out on our board one rank lower to get the character accustomed to our world.
  
 
 
  
Our timeline is set to 500ABY, three hundred and sixty two years after the current recorded timeline.  
  
The reasons for this is so that we will have the creative freedom to make our own tech and such without the need to consult too heavily on cannon stuff. The Yuuzhan Vong war has happened, but as of yet we have not decided to use their tech or the race, that could change in the future. There is also the ability to create whole new races, but this has to be requested and also has to have plenty of details as the idea for a race isn’t enough.
