Restricted & Banned Items
This list is subject to change without notice. Changes will not affect previously approved submissions.
Restricted Items
Submissions including restricted materials will be reviewed by both Factory and Role-Play Judges for balance and fairness and may be declined based upon review.
  1. Restricted Material Missions no longer apply for anything other than SSD / Dreadnoughts (Via the SSD / Dreadnought Dominion Rules).
  2. Restricted Materials have been separated into two categories: Type A and Type B. This is to allow submissions a degree of flexibility to include two restricted materials per submission.
  3. Submissions which include two restricted materials may never exceed Semi-Unique.
  4. Restricted Materials may not be combined to create new alloys under any circumstance.
  5. Submissions including materials from the list of Type A may include another Type A material, or a Type B material.
  6. Submissions may not include two materials from the list of Type B.
Submissions with a restricted material will be accepted so long as they meet the following criteria:
  1. Confined to the Technology and Vehicles categories.
  2. Production value does not exceed Semi-Unique.
  3. Maintain a sensible level of balance, fairness, as well as strengths and weaknesses throughout the submission.
For submissions including restricted materials at production ratings higher than Semi-Unique, as well as Starship submissions:
  1. Starships which include a restricted material may require the reduction of a rating elsewhere based on the balance of the submission.
  2. Companies at Tier 4 & Major Factions may produce Starships at Unique.
  3. Companies at Tier 5 may produce Starships at Semi-Unique.
  4. Companies at Tier 6 may select one (permanent) material to produce Technology, Vehicles, and Starships at Limited. (With limitations. IE: Stealth technology, Force Nexus, overly powerful Force effects.)
  5. Regardless of this, a Factory Judge may deny a submission on concept if they feel that balance is unlikely to be found due to the nature of the submission.
Restricted Materials

Type A:
Type B:
Force Nexus: Codex submissions that include a Force Nexus will require a Restricted Mission to be completed. Write a thread in a convincing manner detailing the quest for, construction of, or discovery of the Force Nexus in question. There is no set post count, however a complete story should be told. Submissions containing extraordinarily strong Nexuses or providing substantial benefits may warrant a judge requesting additional effort or edits made to the submission to adhere to forum standards and balancing for fair play.
Banned Items
  1. Banned Items are not permitted to be used in canon role-play threads on Star Wars RP: Chaos without the explicit permission of the SWRP Staff Team.
  2. Banned Items are not permitted to be used in submissions within the Factory without the explicit permission of the SWRP Staff Team.
  3. Banned Items are only permitted to be used in Non-Canon role-play threads or Non-Canon Campaign threads.

Company Rules
Here are the general rules and guidelines for Companies.

New Company Creation
All new company submissions must be tagged with their respective Tier Level in Topic Tags. The description of your company must be at least a paragraph in length.

1. All new companies and canon companies begin at a max of Tier 2.*
2. A Tier 1 company may begin with a max of two locations and operations.
3. A Tier 2 company may begin with a max of three locations and operations.
4. A company may start owning subsidiaries at Tier 3. A company may have up to a reasonable amount of subsidiaries for their company respective to their tier level.

*Tier 5+ may create a subsidiary at Tier 3.

Canon Company Information
Due to the timeline, it is assumed most canon companies went south with the declining population of the Galaxy. However, it is the writer's choice in whether or not he wishes to further the future of a Canon Company. In order to properly adopt a canon company, please follow the below rules.

To claim a Canon Company, create your Company submission as per the Company Creation Rules. Ensure you add in the appropriate fields that it is a canon company and link the Wookeepedia page. Please post an announcement in bold at the bottom. "This is a canon company."

Canon Company Guidelines and Rules

1. A writer may only own one canon company. A writer may own up to a maximum of three canon based subsidiaries of that canon company. (Subsidiaries not based on canon are excluded from this limit.)

2. Your canon company may not own other canon companies as subsidiaries unless they are directly referenced in the Wookieepedia as being owned by that canon company.

3. Each subsidiary must have its own submission.

4. If an active owner of a canon company wishes to transfer ownership to another writer who does not currently own a canon company, they must provide evidence of the transfer by the original owner. The new owner must create a new submission of their own for the same company name. A factory judge presiding will alert a role-play judge, who will then attempt to contact the current active owner. If the role-play judge confirms the transfer, the role-play judge will inform the factory judge that judgement may proceed. After which, the role-play judge or administrator will transfer ownership of the canon company and current tier level to the new canon company owner, along with any edits made. The old submission will then be archived.

5. If a canon company owner is absent for more than 30 days, any writer who does not already own a canon company may contest your claim by creating a submission of their own for the same company name. The factory judge presiding will alert a role-play judge, who will then attempt to contact the previous canon company owner. If the role-play judge fails to contact the previous canon company owner within 72 hours and determines the canon company owner inactive, the role-play judge will inform the factory judge that judgement may proceed. After which, the role-play judge or administrator will transfer ownership of the canon company along with one level tier drop (may not fall under Tier 2) to the new canon company owner, along with any edits made. The old submission will then be archived. If a canon company is transferred this way, and its tier drops from 3 to 2, any and all subsidiaries attached are immediately forfeit.

6. If a canon company owner has been contacted previously with a contesting canon company claim, upon the second inquiry the owner must show themselves to be active in order to keep the canon company. Activity can be demonstrated with a substantial RP thread or 3+ Factory submissions which took place within the 60 days prior to the second inquiry. Activity after the second inquiry will not be taken into consideration.

7. If a writer had their canon company taken away due to inactivity, the writer may create a new original company submission requesting the tier level from their previous canon company submission. In the new submission, please link the archived canon company submission showing all your work and the tier level gained. A factory judge presiding will alert a role-play judge, who will then review and confirm the work from the archived canon company submission and the tier level addendum. Once verified by the role-play judge, the new company submission may be approved at the previously worked for canon company tier level along with any edits made.

List of Player Owned Canon Companies
Once you have submitted your canon company and it has been approved, a role-play judge or administrator will add it to this list.
Please click the spoiler below to view the current list of canon owned companies.


Company Expansion and Growing in Tier
Company Index by Tier Level: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6
  • You may not advance more than one Tier in a single request. Threads already used for advancement from one tier to the next or made during a previous tier will not count towards a new tier advancement. If your expansion is one lengthy consistent thread, you must specifically provide the applicable unused posts that pertain to that tier up.
  • Each linked thread may only be used to fulfill one of the sub-requirements for each tier level. ( IE: No double-dipping the same thread to fulfill a major contract and a use of company operations.)
  • Every additional new Location & Operation or Headquarters change requested through the Company Modification Thread will require proof of expansion.
  • Each expansion in Tier level will require a company to display examples of company growth in influence and/or finances or territorial expansion, as well as usage of the company's operations.
    Territorial expansions used for tier promotion purposes may result in that new location being added to the company's location list if it is on a new planet. Location submissions in the codex may be used for this.
  • Use of a company's operations may vary from a thread in which a company's operation is utilized, or as a submission in the factory or codex in which one or more of the company's operations are used for its creation.
  • If company growth is done in the form of venturing into a new operation then that new operation will be added to the company's operation list.
  • Displays of company growth in influence or finances are any examples in which there are efforts to expand these two. Show that a company is putting an effort into growth and/or is putting its influence to work and it will benefit here from it!

[*]Each expansion to tier IV and up will require a Major Contract.
  • A major contract is any thread in which a major faction or tier V/VI company decides to align its interests, long-term, with your company specifically that greatly expands your company's influence and/or size & scope. Examples may vary from, but are not limited to: a contract or agreement to become the designated provider for one of your company's operations for a major faction or tier V/VI company, the completion of a large or ambitious project with a lasting impact on the growth of your company, and/or the long-term or permanent partnership between your company and the major faction or tier V/VI company in question.

Known Owners of Unique Canon Items

This is the list of Last Known Owners of Canon Items. It records unique items such as canon holocrons, artifacts, named canon ships, etc. All desired claimed canon items are required to go through the same Factory approval process as SW Chaos Technology, Vehicles, Starships and Restricted materials.

Unique Canon Item Claim and Factory Submission Rules
Due to the timeline, it is assumed most canon items such as artifacts, starships, and technology went missing or were lost during the Gulag Plague. However, it is the writer's choice in how to go about searching, discovering, and claiming the canon item but please follow the below rules.

  1. A writer may possess no more than a total of 5 canon items across all their characters. Factions, companies, and other organizations are unable to claim canon items.
  2. To be able to claim a unique canon item, a writer must first complete a "unique canon item objective" in a convincing manner that adds to the quality of the role-play thread. Each completed objective only counts for one submission.
  3. Once done, create a Factory submission using the template of the applicable type ( I.E. Technology, Vehicles, Starships) and ensure the respective canon item's Wookieepedia page - if applicable - is linked.
  4. Once approved, the writer may now request to claim it on the Known Owners of Unique Items and link the approved submission.
  5. If a Canon Item Owner is absent for more than 30 days, any writer who has not exhausted their 5 canon item slots may contest your claim by following the above rules to claim a unique canon item and creating a submission of their own for the same canon item. (Linking as Primary Source the previous Factory submission to it if any and the Canon Wookieepedia Link.) The factory judge presiding will alert a role-play judge, who will then attempt to contact the previous canon item owner. If the role-play judge fails to contact the previous canon item owner within 72 hours and deems the canon item owner inactive, the role-play judge will then archive the old submission and judgement of the new submission will proceed.

Unique Canon Items Mission Objective: (( Embark on a quest to research, locate and recover the canon item in question. There is no set post limit, though you should tell a complete story. ))
