SWRP Kitely

In 2010 the early foundations of a SWRP community in Open Sim started on grids such as Kitely and Osgrid. Many SWRP players started on second life but as the community expanded and became more diverse some came over to other grids or would bounce back and forth. I would say in-between 2010-2015 Open Sim was in a more trial period where many developers where working on the quality of the programming itself some of the early players rp'd briefly in a more sandbox context on Spaceworld starting in 2012 which has several worlds in more of a skybox sort of setting. In 2016 scripters and builders became more organized on objectives paving way for some of the first real tools to develop roleplay such as combat meters and star wars/sci fi related items. 2017 the first real SWRP sims began to open Mike Lorrey from Naboo and Darth Nemesis from The Galactic Empire and Dark Lords of the Sith. Damien Dark who contributed to the early scene worked with Darth Nemesis to run the Empire group along with other canon based rp around the First Order, Knights of Ren and Palpitines Sith Order. Dorenas World a German grid also became popular around this time which would expand the SWRP world.

Mike Lorrey would be credited for making attempts to bring the first Sith Players and other SWRP members into one community Naboo a full sim based on the Gungan City, Naboo's forest lands and City of Theed this would be the first center of SWRP it would take several years to develop Star Wars items. Spaceworld and Naboo would maintain a fan base who comes to their social gatherings it has become a very popular sight and almost everyone on open sim as of 2019/2020 knows of Naboo's Reggae nights. Star Wars story telling also is another popular event gaining attention in 2020 by many open sim players joining the grid in 2020 many more players from other grids begin to set up in the Kitely grid the first organized roleplay community sets up in Ruusan, Ziost and Ring of Kafrene sim which opens in 2020. Within the first year of 2021 the Kitely Community begins to finetune the combat system and begin laying down rules for a SWRP community. The Simon Land Group makes the first SWRP timeline in Open Sim which sets players at 11 ABY in a alternative universe separate from Legend and Canon. The Galactic Empire's Emperor Darth Nemesis has disappeared or been killed in his wake the Galactic Empire is ruled by various Moffs while the New Republic is rebuilding from the last war between the Empire and Republic. The Galactic Empire would be mostly based out of spaceworld sim at this time and the New Republic begins its recovery in Naboo. The Jedi and Sith are both being hunted as the New Jedi Order has collapsed and the Dark Lords of the Sith believed to be extinct with the death of Nemesis. Surviving Jedi become the New Order of Jedi on Ruusan and the surviving Sith would become the Obsidian Dominion on Ziost. The Galactic Empire would base itself out of Eadu as the head of the Imperial Forces would be based out of there the Moffs would be like warring planetary lords as each one made its own agreements and some even warred with one another. The Galactic Empire would be the largest faction starting out as we begin serious roleplay but it is also the most conflicted and tense area. The center of neutral space remains in Tatooine and Jakku but most see the potential crime capital of the galaxy in the Ring of Kafrene as most in neutral space are attracted to its mysterious cities.

In 2021 with the official go ahead from a few sim owners from Naboo, Spaceworld and SWL groups Paqtism Tuma and Wolf Gang would facilitate the first SWRP community bringing all major figures together. Naboo serves as a perfect meeting place as they have weekly and annual events it is proposed moving forward we will meet at the Gungan City OOCly to continue putting the developed story into motion and to get all sims to continue under one agenda and roleplay community. Many are veteran roleplayers with a community base now of about fifteen players the first roleplay done in sandbox mode was around the end of the Galactic Empire from the canon and legends series this was done by a small handful of players under Darth Nemesis which we assumed explains in this alternative Kitely Star Wars universe how all the Legend/Canon characters died and how Darth Nemesis became the first Emperor his reign would last several years but upon his death or disappearance the Galactic Empire would fracture ruled by various Moffs engaging in a civil war for control of The Empire. This would bring us into our first proposed timeline of 11 ABY the other major groups in the galaxy are rebuilding and reforming it is a race against time to see who will rise to become the dominant faction or factor in the galaxy. Another meeting would occur at the end of 2021 where sim groups from Open Sim met to announce the offical opening of an active roleplay timeline most would support starting at the end of the Legacy Era from Legends pinpointing the roleplay storyline roughly around 138 ABY.
