"Beware the Dark Side"... a warning for Luke Skywalker, and a call to arms for all forces of good and order in The New Republic. The Evil Empire and Darth Vader have been defeated and the Galactic Civil War seems won, but heroes of The New Republic must now battle new enemies.
The New Republic Era[]
Main Article: The New Republic Era
The New Republic Era spans events from the Bakura Incident to the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong. This period presented new challenges and changes to people who lived through The Rebellion Era. Heroes of the Rebellion against The Galactic Empire went from being freedom fighters to builders and leaders of a Republic reborn. New alliances were formed, new worlds were discovered or rediscovered, and peace returned to the people of the galaxy. When the Empire fell, aliens from all worlds found themselves equal once again in a more enlightened society. They endeavored to bring the galaxy together once again, without succumbing to the shortfalls of The Galactic Republic. But old habits die hard. Senators and representatives jockey for position and strength in the New Republic Senate, looking to renew old alliances and broker new power plays.
Species[]
Main Article: Species
The New Republic Era is a time of freedom and equality among all Species. During this period, Species from any era could be met, barring those who met extinction. New Species were discovered at this time and contact was re-established with many others after the fall of The Galactic Empire. Many were instrumental in the rebuilding of The New Republic, and there were several Species in positions of power throughout the galaxy.
Heroic Traits[]
Main Article: Heroic Traits
The New Republic Era is a time of changes. There are new opportunities, a new government, and a chance at a new life. The New Republic Senate reasserts its authority. Explorers push at the boundaries of the galaxy, looking for new places to settle, and new beings to encounter. Smugglers and criminals thrive in this environment, existing in the large vacuum left behind by the defeated Galactic Empire. Warlords and displaced Moffs carve out territory for themselves.
New Republic Heroes[]
Main Article: New Republic Heroes
Each of the Heroic Classes from the Saga Edition Core Rulebook is presented here as it relates to The New Republic Era. Each Heroic Class has new Talents, some added to existing Talent Trees and others forming entirely new trees. These Talents can be used in other Eras of Play, subject to the Gamemaster's approval.
The Force[]
Main Article: The Force
It was said that Anakin Skywalker would bring balance to The Force. As Darth Vader, he destroyed Emperor Palpatine on the Second Death Star, ending his reign, and beginning the end of The Galactic Empire. Darth Vader realized there was good still inside of him, thanks to his son, Luke Skywalker. Anakin had not fully passed when Vader was created by Palpatine after the Clone War. And so the Prophecy was fulfilled. The Force was brought into balance.
