Long ago in a galaxy far, far away...

STAR WARS
REACH OF THE EMPIRE

It is a chaotic time in the galaxy.

EMPEROR PALPATINE, GRAND MOFF TARKIN and thousands of Imperial soldiers died in the destruction of the mighty DEATH STAR battle station over Sullust.

Now, with the GALACTIC EMPIRE crumbling into disarray, ambitious factions are starting to make their moves to achieve dominance in the galaxy.

The REBELLION has scored a major victory and shaken the Empire to its core. But with one Emperor dead and dozens of new warlords clamoring to take his place, it remains to be seen what price that victory carries.


STAR WARS: REACH OF THE EMPIRE is a text-based roleplaying MUSH that pays tribute to the universe created by George Lucas. It follows an alternate timeline, circa Episode IV: A New Hope, that makes impossible the events of the original trilogy and allows a new story to evolve, with our characters taking on the roles of heroes, rogues and villains in the epic saga.

We do not recognize canon from the current prequel trilogy.

Jedi characters are NOT available for first-time players. Feature characters are NOT available for players. Biographies are required to get character approval during the creation process.

Players can join a variety of factions, including the Imperial military, the fledgling Rebellion, the Corporate Sector Authority, the Bothan spy network, Black Sun, and the Hutt Syndicate.

Worlds available on the grid include Tatooine, Coruscant, Alderaan, Sullust, Kashyyyk, Bespin, Hoth, Bothawui, Corellia, Ord Mantell, Etti IV, Nal Hutta, and Nar Shaddaa.

Vehicles available for players on the grid include landspeeders, speeder bikes, swoops, sandcrawlers, banthas and AT-AT walkers.

New crafting system and cinematic, RP-friendly OSpace flight system are coming online.

Combat is refereed by staffers, rather than automated. This helps ensure that combatants play fair and properly roleplay a fight.
