SINS STORY — THE GALAXY NI 24 / ABY 34

The Empire is the good guys. The Republic is the bad guys. No open war — just a Cold War of assassins, auditors, territorial terraforming, and white hulls that show up when you call for help.

The Inversion

New Galactic Empire (NGE / Eclipse Empire) — competent, reformist, anti-corruption = Death + forfeiture (actually enforced), therapy/accountability, builds stuff. Blames Palpatine & Vader's religious conditioning, not galactic DNA. Outlawed Jedi/Sith schools under same penalty.

New Republic (NR) — dysfunctional, totally corrupt, blames NGE for everything, controls Coruscant (poisoned well it demanded in treaty), many senators on Hutt / Black Sun / Crimson Dawn / Zann payroll, funds terrorism against NGE via cut-outs, calls Galactic Star "Third Death Star" because it can't build anything.

Treaty of Coruscant / Eclipse Pact ends hot war. Cold War since NI 5. No open war. Proxy war, propaganda war, border skirmishes. Voluntary defection — outer rim worlds take NGE aid while NR on paper.

NI 24 Snapshot
NI 10 / ABY 20 — Empress cedes Coruscant to NR: "You want the well, drink it. Keep the chair. We will build a new table." Begins Galactic Star (240km moon station, mobile capital).
NI 5 / ABY 15Leia leaves NR, crowns Queen of New Alderaan, joins NGE with price: Registered Jedi rights.
NI 20-22 / ABY 30-32Operation White Spear — Great White Fleet + Galactic Star tanks Starkiller blast on planetary shields, cracks base. Disney trilogy prevented.
NI 24 / ABY 34 — Now. Galactic Star timetables public on HoloNet. NGE rebuilding, NR blaming. Cold war continues.

Quick Truth Table for Your Table

QuestionAnswer
Can I be a Jedi in Empire?Yes — Registered Jedi (Leia's Law). 1 per sector, no students, no temples, submit to Inquisitor audits monthly/quarterly, carry card, report harm. Training anyone = Death + forfeiture.
Are Grey Knights Jedi?No. Property of Empire, back tattoo, Instrument of Surrender. Feel everything, allowed love/family. Kill corrupted instantly — brother, Empress, heir. White sabers.
Is Empress evil?No. Palpatine's daughter, Force user, terrified of becoming father. Doctrine "Power corrupts. Force power corrupts absolutely." Binds herself with 2 Inquisitors + Knights who must kill her if she falls. Built therapy system because Jedi suppression created Vader/Dooku.
Why NGE good, NR bad?NGE enforces anti-corruption with Death + forfeiture, builds/terraforms, destroys Starkiller before it fires, allows accountability. NR controls Coruscant but does nothing but blame, takes bribes, funds terrorism via Hutts, calls Galactic Star Third Death Star.

Canon note: NGE = protagonist faction, NR = antagonist faction. Intentional inversion. All power corrupts. STORY INDEXRULESSHEET
