Datacron faction

Independent

The Independent Faction is a loose collection of guilds, crews, and individuals in pursuit of their own interests. There is no common goal or the expectation of working with each other; Independents operate on their own.

Known organizations like the Black Sun Guild, Bounty Hunter's Guild, Merchant Guild, the Mandalorians, and surviving Force Traditions, as well as smuggler crews, criminal networks, mercenaries, and merchants, all thrive as Independent.

Your Character may play both sides of the Empire and Rebel conflict, or stay out of it completely. Playing an Independent does not give you automatic inclusion into the Faction, however. Unless you join a Guild, there are no Leaders to contact... you are on your own. By choosing the Independent Faction, you are playing a Character that operates on their own terms. There are no Objectives, you pave your own way!

Independent on Selvaris

The planet Selvaris, where Galaxy Awaits takes place, enjoyed a few years of peace after the founding of the Galactic Empire. Thanks to rumors of rebels and Jedi, the Empire has established a presence on Selvaris which only served to generate minor conflicts... that many Independent individuals and groups have capitalised on.

Corox Station, where the Galaxy Awaits campsite represents, is known to have small Imperial Outpost and an active rebel cell... a perfect atmosphere for bounty hunters, merchants, criminals, and politicians working for Selvaris, Corox Station, or for themselves.
