Description: The Dark Empire is an indirect successor state to the Brotherhood of the Maw and the Galactic Empire, through the Neo-Mawite survivors of the Second Great Hyperspace War and the Imperial Remnant led by Ignacious Korvan . Located in the Outer Rim and led by the reborn Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Solipsis, following his resurrection by Ashin Cardé Varanin and her Dark Side Prophets. The new regime claims Carlac as it's temporary seat of power, nestling itself deep in the ruins of Citadel Caelitus, a mocking statement to the galaxy at large in the wake of the Second Great Hyperspace War, nearly two decades later, and to the Imperial factions they face near and far for supremacy of Imperial Space.
The Dark Empire is openly run by dark side users, known as the Dark Side Elite, who carry out the will of the Empire in a manner similar to that of the Emperor's Hands. Among there number - Dark Jedi, Fallen Imperial Knights, Dark Side Adepts, and Many More gather to bring glory to the Empire's name. There were once always seven of them, and once one died, another was immediately appointed. No such limit remains, but the practice remains the same. When one is slain, another is found to take their place in a bid to gather a formidable force of dark siders capable of remaking the galaxy in their image. They are not alone, amidst their glamour, the Knights of Ren endure, bringing with them the savagery of the Unknown Regions and the sharpness of the Shadow.
Between the Dark Imperial aesthetic, and the savage Mawite auxiliaries, our faction combines elements from the Dark Empire-era Galactic Empire with the RAW war aesthetic of the Brotherhood of the Maw. There are many opportunities for writers who are interested in playing "the bad guy" in a manner fit for the role. From the secret Banite masters of the New Sith Order, to the corrupt Imperial Warlords. From the Mawite Marauders of the Scar Hounds, to the secret agents of COMPNOR. Nearly anything can be molded to fit your area of play as we take our charge on the galaxy at large.
Evil Never Dies.
The Pitch:
Introducing the Dark Empire as a Major Faction promises an immersive narrative experience that delves into the depths of the galaxy's dark side. Based on the post-Endor Galactic Empire as led by Palpatine Reborn and as seen from the Dark Empire comics of the Expanded Universe.
At its core, the Dark Empire represents the embodiment of the Sith philosophy – a thirst for dominion over the galaxy and the unwavering pursuit of absolute power. The Dark Empire's push for control over the core worlds introduces a dynamic element to the RP universe, sparking countless opportunities for storytelling. As the Empire's influence spreads, it ignites conflicts with rival factions, breeds unlikely alliances, and prompts heroes to rise up against the darkness. The struggle for the galaxy becomes a focal point for RP narratives, driving characters to confront a aggressive enemy force unseen since the SGHW.
In addition to its captivating narrative potential, the Dark Empire offers a diverse array of characters and factions, each with their own motivations and agendas. From cunning Sith Lords to loyal Imperial officers, from ambitious apprentices to reluctant heroes, the Dark Empire presents a vast canvas for players to craft their own unique stories and shape the fate of the galaxy.
Ultimately, we want to surpass the Second Great Hyperspace War in both content and storytelling. With big aims to inspire countless stories and massive threads through dynamic dominions, great storytelling, competitive invasions, hyped up annihilations, and inter-faction cooperation.
