Exodus Timeline

Main Board Timeline
The Main Board Timeline is the core of our roleplaying. Taken directly from the SWG roleplaying boards, the MBT is where a majority of the action lies. While certainly not the only timeline in our community one can partake in, it is clearly the most prominent.

The MBT is an alternate universe of Star Wars, picking up right after the Battle of Endor. Nothing is the same....

NOTE: When calculating your character's age, don't forget that 0 BBY counts as a year. For example: a character born in 0 BBY would be 15 by 14 ABY.

After a small period of peace, war has once more embroiled the galaxy. However, this time the the threat comes from outside the known star systems, threatening the precarious balance of power between the Galactic Empire, New Republic and other smaller governments.

The attackers have revealed themselves as the Xen'Chi, a species from the unknown regions bent on extending their hegemony over the known galaxy. Having already enslaved other species, they now use them as thralls to fight with them in their war against the traditional powers of the galaxy.

They do not discriminate in their targets, attacking the Empire, nearly splitting their territory in two, seizing Ansion, Ord Mantell, Anorbis, Vortex and Mechis 3. They also encroach on the Core taking Endor, and some New Republic controlled worlds like Bakura and Riflor. Rumors are they will strike at Tanaab next... with their forces being lead by a new commander, once human, now something far different.

The Empire has reacted with a full mobilization of their navy, directed by Grand Admiral Thrawn. However, they have already lost one large battle losing their most feared command ship, the Super Star Destroyer Cleansing, and with it their most renowned commander, High Admiral Banner Ton. However, post battle intelligence indicates no wreckage of the super-ship, leaving some mystery as to its fate.

The New Republic toils in its slow political processes, lead by the leaders of the Senate and its Prime Minister Leia Organa Solo. It's modest navy has been mobilized as well, behind the might of the Red Dagger Fleet under Admiral Damus and the United Defense Fleet, stationed at Kashyyyk. But like most democracies, they have been somewhat slow in reacting to the attacks.

Meanwhile a civil war broils on Naboo, former Imperial loyalists siezing the Capital from the more liberal Queen. The heir apparent to the throne has been kidnapped by the usurpers and a combined force provided by the visiting diplomats are feverishly working towards getting her back safely.

Among the battles, an old Intelligence Network and Corporation, Karde Enterprises is putting itself back together trying to regain control of some of the less official business going on through the galaxy.

The Jedi have mobilized faster than their mother Republic. After having failed almost completely in opposing the Sith Lord Damascus they are trying to take the lead against the new threat of the Xen'Chi.

Furthermore, in the shadows of war, an old warrior tradition from a long-forgotten world begins to arise from its ashes. Lead by a new Mandalore, the Mandalorians are returning, under the new Mandalorian Protectors' Code of Honor.

The galaxy, more than ever, is in need of new heroes....
