Star Wars 77 [A Post-Episode IX Sandbox Worldbuilding Project & Adventure]

Star Wars 77

---

As you are probably aware, the Star Wars Saga came to an end last December with the release of The Rise of Skywalker. Controversial and divisive as that movie was, it left the audience with a very interesting question – what happens next?

There is no lore on the era following Episode IX, and the movie doesn’t offer much in the way of hints as to the galaxy’s future. This leaves us with an opportunity to see new and exciting stories emerge and redefine the Star Wars universe. I was looking forward to seeing how the creative minds behind Star Wars would approach the situation, but with Project Luminous – the multimedia project that serves as the next stage of Star Wars storytelling – having been announced as oriented toward pre-Episode I content, exploration of the post-Episode IX era seems far off.

With that in mind, I had an idea.

This project, Star Wars 77, is set 77 years after the events of Episode IX (that number chosen as a reference to the 1977 theatrical release of the original Star Wars). As it says in the thread title, this is a post-Episode IX sandbox worldbuilding and roleplaying project. I would like to collaboratively develop a new face of the Star Wars galaxy with you and then dive into it through a play-by-post roleplaying adventure. I don't have much in the way of predetermined notions as to the direction this will take, and we have a ton of freedom to explore and develop a story however we like, which together should make this a pretty different and fun project.

Almost thought Khulbe might be good for this, but it seems the Hutts themselves were not invited!

My firstborn and favorite child, Z. Zattius Blackbark, will be appearing in this RP.

“I’ll have my team move on that information as soon as we have it in hand,” Leto said.

That was his role. Building connections, communicating, gathering intelligence, providing operational security. The security team, in the casually understood sense, meant men with blasters that protected the Senator when things went wrong. It was by Leto’s efforts, though, that they were largely superfluous. The best way to keep someone from getting killed is by avoiding situations that get people killed.

“Does your team need our support on this matter with Dras Don? We have people to spare.”

Star Wars: The Outer Rim

Introduction

---

Five years have passed since the Battle of Endor. A New Republic has risen, and the Empire is a shadow of its former self. As the heroes of the Rebellion work to establish this new government and the Empire wars with itself in an effort to resolve a crisis of succession, the Outer Rim is left lawless. Local planetary authorities, newly established sector capitals of the New Republic, isolated Imperial strongholds, and criminal kingpins vie for control of the galaxy's outlying worlds. It is a landscape ripe for exploitation by smugglers, bounty hunters, pirates, rogues and scoundrels alike. Not unlike yourself, as it were.

Welcome to the Outer Rim.

Unlike my other project, Sector Force Daalang, this is a sandbox oriented game where you will take on the role of a scoundrel making his or her way in the galaxy in the tumultuous aftermath of the Empire's collapse. You and your fellow crewmates are free to explore the galaxy, take jobs, carry out missions, and generally go on adventures.

You'll be starting off with your own ship, some unscrupulous underworld contacts, and in the middle of your first job. My aim for the campaign as a whole is for it to draw inspiration from Pirates of the Caribbean, complete with adversarial pirates, mystical compasses, cursed treasures, space krakens, colonies, mysterious planets, and encounters with the law, as well as from other media like The Mandalorian, Shadowrun, and more.

Briefing Memorandum - Operation Bowshot I

Operation Type: Starfighter Operation

Situation Report: A Daalangi criminal syndicate, the Black Bough, has been conducting piracy operations in the Sturos System, some of which have targeted SFD freighters. Recently, a GR-75 freighter transporting fuel to one of the sector force's new asteroid bases in the system was waylaid and destroyed by a pirate gunship. This ship, the Longbow, is the target of this operation.

SFD Naval Command has developed a trap for this gunship. The GR-75 starship Rogue Trader, in orbit over the frozen moon of Enceles, will broadcast a distress signal to draw the Longbow out. Once the Longbow has been drawn out, a task force led by the CR90 Carrier-Corvette Falconer will ambush and capture the pirate.

Primary Mission Objective: Incapacitate the Longbow.

Secondary Mission Objective: Secure space superiority over Enceles while the Longbow is boarded.

Execution: The starfighter squadron, based out of Sector Force Daalang's planetary base on Bolevra, will transfer to the Falconer's hangar in orbit over the planet. The Falconer, accompanied by the Sphyrna-class frigate Shield of Dorsis, will travel through hyperspace to the Sturos System and take up a position at the outer edge of the solar system. Once the Rogue Trader gives the signal, the Y-Wing squadron will execute a cross-system microjump to the GR-75's location and engage the pirate gunship.

Support: Each pilot on this mission will be provided with a Y-Wing.

Difficulty: 3 - Moderate resistance anticipated.

Scuttlebutt: The Claymore, one of the three Star Destroyers in the Empire's Daalang Systems Fleet, has been deployed to the Oktos Sector.

Operation Type: SpecForces Operation

Situation Report: A Daalangi criminal syndicate, the Black Bough, has been conducting piracy operations in the Sturos System, some of which have targeted SFD freighters. Recently, a GR-75 freighter transporting fuel to one of the sector force's new asteroid bases in the system was waylaid and destroyed by a pirate gunship. This ship, the Longbow, is the target of this operation.

SFD Naval Command has developed a trap for this gunship. The GR-75 starship Rogue Trader, in orbit over the frozen moon of Enceles, will broadcast a distress signal to draw the Longbow out. Once the Longbow has been drawn out, a task force led by the CR90 Carrier-Corvette Falconer will ambush and capture the pirate.

Primary Mission Objective: Capture the Longbow.

Execution: After the Y-Wing Squadron has disabled the gunship, the Sphyrna-class frigate Shield of Dorsis will dock with the incapacitated vessel. A boarding team will storm the pirate gunship, aiming to capture the engine room (to prevent the enemy from scuttling the ship) and the cockpit.

Support: None.

Difficulty: 4 - Moderate Resistance anticipated; boarding actions are highly risky.

Scuttlebutt: Admiral Fedouin D'Ndro, commander of Sector Force Daalang, is negotiating with the Mon Calamari to acquire a Mon Cal cruiser for SFD NAVCOMM.
