LOTG: Background and Lore

In *Star Wars: Legacies of the Galaxy*, players take the role of a character of their own creation and choice in a story set in the year 81 ABY, one hundred years after the events of *Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith*. The primary storyline centers around the rise of the mysterious Emijar Kingdom and the relationship between the Galactic Alliance, and the revived Galactic Empire long after the Galactic Civil War. The story is set in an alternate timeline with similar events, lore and elements from both *Star Wars* Legends, which existed from 1976 to 2014 and the current New Canon created in 2014. As such, previously canon-exclusive *Star Wars* lore such as the Yuuzhan Vong and the First Order are both present in the background, history and fanon events of *Legacies of the Galaxy*.
