11/21: It is with formal notice that Star Wars: Post War Saga has officially gotten out of hand. While I'm gone doing my homework in college, many ambitious RP's are typing whatever they feel like, and it's really interfering with the planned story. Therefore, I'm declaring this RP closed until further notice. Here are a list of reasons.
Lack of organization. There are a set of rules I've established but they are far too lacking. I created a sense of freedom to allow for multiple scenarios alongside the main story, however too many of them are going their own directions. The problem with creating an RP as opposed to, say, a book or internet fanfic is that if you have your own story you are constantly interrupted by another story, or in this case sidestory after sidestory after sidestory. This cannot be accepted in a regular RP unless stated. Which brings me to this:
Potential shift to a guild made up of RP's instead of just a single one. If I'm able to create a guild based on this story I'll make separate RP's for those who want to create their own characters and make up stories that don't interfere with mine. It'll balance the flow of individual versus group scenarios, and also give us even more freedom to express our characters. And finally:
Needs a much more fleshed out story. This one I had in mind is set within the Star Wars universe, for sure, and contains a bunch of original elements that make for a different experience (most of which I cannot reveal until later). However if you guys read a lot of Star Wars books and don't have any clue what Sanctum Zero is, then I made an error. Most of the content in this story is from my own creativity, not set points in the storyline. Thus events that happen not logical to what was supposed to be in Mr. Lucas's ideas will cause a lot of confusion. Over my Christmas vacation I'll likely be reading the Dark Nest set of books to take a few notes.....perhaps more will come along too. But if not then I do not know what will become of this story. Jaina and Jacen Solo are the main protagonists of the next trilogy, not Kirin and Rena. To call it Post-War Saga is therefore misleading, unless a strange course of events somehow took place parallel to what Jaina and Jacen have done in their story.
In conclusion, if I could I would owe Mr. Lucas an apology for jumping too soon into making my own storyline without any research of what's supposed to happen. But since he is not considering making any more Star Wars movies, I will try my best to flesh out this entry as much as possible.
Updated 1/31 This thread may be moving to a different location under a new name, and with a rewritten story. I'll let you know if anything comes up. Thanks *Jedi bow*

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away......

EPISODE I: SANCTUM ZERO

EPISODE I: SANCTUM ZERO
20 years have passed since the collapse of the Galactic Empire and destruction of the DEATH STAR, but the fear of war is still resting upon its laurels. Reminants of the Empire still remain, and are attempting a rather feindish plot to take back what they lost to the Rebel Alliance and its heroes Luke Skywalker, his sister Leia and Han Solo.
As the Republic of Couresant was reformed, Luke has since founded the NEW JEDI COUNCIL through training determined students. His nephew, Kirin, does his best to help support the council and fight back any further threats to disturb the force. His niece Rena helped reorganize the Republic and stands as an important figure to its officials.
Presently, however, a mysterious faction rumored to be one of the "reminants" has launched a surprise attack on Couresant. The unarmed Republic fell to its knees on the attack, and the leader attempted to make a deal with the officials. Refusing to approve what they mistakenly had accepted from the Emperor in the past, Couresant instead chose a different fate......
