Submission & RevisionRules
Everyone attending GALAXY AWAITS must have a Character submitted online and approved by Staff.
Unique Character
Your Character must be UNIQUE and ORIGINAL, NOT a copy/cosplay of a Star Wars character. You are creating a Character of your design within the guidelines, rules, and available choices.
No Relation
Your Character cannot be related to, or associated with, a Star Wars character. Passing familiarity, 'met once in a cantina', within reason is okay.
No Death Dealers
Your Character's sole intent cannot be inflicting Character Death. This is not a battle game. Role-play and dealing out Consequences as defined in the RULEBOOK is expected first.
Clones
Your Character cannot be a 1) Jango Fett clone, or 2) a Force-sensitive clone, or 3) a clone from a Star Wars character.
Canon & Legends
Use ONLY Star Wars (Disney) Canon and/or GALAXY AWAITS canon for references to characters / events / places, never Legends/EU.
You can play GALAXY AWAITS without seeing any Star Wars, though we do recommend the film, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, as a must-see since the In-Game timeline is set 12 years after. The film, Solo: A Star Wars Story, and the series Andor and Obi-Wan Kenobi are also highly recommended.
If you're interested in more, we also reference material from the following media:
- Star Wars Episode I: Phantom Menace (film)
- Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (film)
- Star Wars: The Clone Wars (animated series)
- Star Wars: The Bad Batch (animated series)
- Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord (animated series)
- Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (video game)
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (video game)
- Star Wars Rebels (animated series)
- Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (film)
All of Star Wars movies, shows, books, comics, and games that are part of "Disney canon" taking place before 7 BBY (the current In-Game date) are considered canon for GALAXY AWAITS.
Information and events from Legends/EU are NOT canon for GALAXY AWAITS. Sometimes players may reference them – for instance, if they are playing a species with little canon information or description. However, do not assume that Staff and other Players will treat these references as canon, since they are just that: Legends.
1. Specifics
Species
Choose from numerous different Species, each with special RULES and COSTUME REQUIREMENTS detailed on the SPECIES LIST.
Faction
Choose a Faction. The Empire and Rebellion requires loyal members meaning your Character must believe in the cause. The traitor concept has been overplayed in GALAXY AWAITS — the Empire and Rebellion Factions need loyalty to function properly in the game.
A Role defines your Character's job within your Faction, providing access to Role-specific Perks, Missions, and story.
Empire
COMPNOR
As a politician, you write legislation that benefits the Outpost. You may submit new laws, manage permits, become an Elected Official, write press briefings and create Empire propaganda, act as an attorney during court, campaign for funds, and other such activities.
COMPNOR is primarily about presenting the Empire in a positive light and engaging with the people. By choosing this Role, you may find it easy to interact with other Characters in- and out- of the Empire.
PERK & RULES
POLITICIAN
Run for Town Council, write Laws, sway politics.
OBJECTIVE FAVOR
If a Town Council member, complete Town Council Objectives to win a Favor from Imperial Command (Mission Control).
Empire
Military
As a soldier in the Imperial Navy, Imperial Army, or Stormtrooper Corps, plot and engage in combat, as needed, on behalf of the Empire. Ranking officers also assist in the Outposts daily operations.
The Imperial Military are known for dealing out consequences, and are generally disliked. By choosing this Role, your Character may find interacting with other Characters outside the Empire difficult.
PERK & RULES
HEAVY STRIKE
Use the Heavy Strike Technique as described.
SUPPRESSING FIRE
Sig Call: Status pain 2
Using a weapon, spend 1 FP, and say the Sig Call to add the Pain Effect to the next strike.
Empire
Inquisitor
As a Force-user trained in the Dark Side, you handle matters of the Force for the Outpost. Deal with Jedi and other Force-users, recruit Force-sensitives, and manage Relics and Rituals.
Inquisitors are known for mercilessly dealing out consequences and are the most feared Imperials. By choosing this Role, your Character will have the most difficulty interacting with other Characters outside the Empire.
PERK & RULES
ATTUNED
The Obelisk restores +1 FP per 50 credits spent. If you don’t have the Counselor Skill, participating in Counselor restores +1 FP.
LIGHTSABER PRACTICED
Sig Call: 3 or 5
Use a Lightsaber at base 3 Damage. Or spend 1 FP to inflict 5 Damage of a single strike.
In-Game, only Inquisitors may openly use the Force.
Empire
ISB Agent
As a spy, you provide intelligence and counterintelligence for the Outpost. Engage in espionage to obtain information, disrupt the enemy. Ensure loyalty by rooting out enemy spies and dissidents in the Empire Faction.
Undercover ISB Agents are meant to adopt a persona to easily interact with other Characters. Uniformed Agents, especially Loyalty Agents, are generally distrusted, even by other Imperials. By choosing this Role, and whether your undercover or not, you may find interacting with other Characters difficult.
PERK & RULES
SMUGGLER
Receive 1 Tamper Lock per event from Logistics.
UNDERCOVER PROFILE
Create a fake Chain Code using Undercover Profile.
SPY
Using the Security Skill, pick a Padlock or Security Lock in 3 seconds, a Ray Shield in 30 seconds.
Empire
The Galactic Empire is the oppressive dictatorship controlling the main government of the galaxy, the Senate, with the ultimate goal of controlling all worlds. Thus, the Empire engages in all forms of planetary take-over tactics under the guise of bringing peace and order to the galaxy.
Choosing the Empire Faction is choosing to play the villain and deal out consequences... you are opting in for PvP. Your Character will have enemies. Expect to be treated with disdain by other Characters, and expect them to actively plot against your Character. Of course, this is In-Game character vs character, and is not against you personally.
PvP Expectations
As a villain, engage in reasonable PvP as expected in Star Wars yet in a way that makes for a good LARP story. For example, you learn a Character is a Rebel, you are expected to react appropriately using forms of consequences as defined in the RULEBOOK. That Player has opted in for PvP by choosing to play a Rebel and they are expecting the Empire to react.
You must be comfortable with combat, arrests, interrogation, espionage, manipulation, and temporary removal of Player Characters... and having the same done to your Character.
The Empire Faction is not an excuse to kill Characters on a whim. Explore those Consequences before permanently removing a Character from play. Character Death is best when everyone involved can tell an amazing story afterward.

Run for Town Council, write Laws, sway politics.
OBJECTIVE FAVOR
If a Town Council member, complete Town Council Objectives to win a Favor from Fulcrum (Mission Control).

Using the Security Skill, pick a Padlock or Security Lock in 3 seconds, a Ray Shield in 30 seconds.

Use your combat training to plot and engage in strategic covert strikes on the Empire Faction and the Rebellions enemies. You may also participate in various combat skirmishes around town as well as assist in daily operations of the Base.

As a trained Force-user and Order 66 survivor, you handle matters of the Force for the Base. Deal with Inquisitors, recruit Force-sensitives, and manage Relics and Rituals.
If your Character is discovered, especially by the Empire, expect to pay the highest consequences.
As with all Rebels operating in secret, the public persona you choose to portray determines how easy or difficult interacting with other Characters outside the Rebellion will be.
PERK & RULES
ATTUNED
The Obelisk restores +1 FP per 50 credits spent. If you don’t have the Counselor Skill, participating in Counselor restores +1 FP.
LIGHTSABER PRACTICED
Sig Call: 3 or 5
Use a Lightsaber at base 3 Damage. Or spend 1 FP to inflict 5 Damage of a single strike.
In-Game, only Inquisitors may openly use the Force, so you want to keep your abilities a secret.
Rebellion
The Rebellion is composed of small groups of individuals actively fighting against the Empire. Not yet an Alliance as depicted in film, small rebel cells are scattered throughout the galaxy operating separately, often unbeknownst of each other, yet covertly led by the mysterious Fulcrum.
Choosing the Rebellion Faction is about playing an undercover operative and facing consequences if caught... you are opting in for PvP. Your Character is putting themselves in danger while working to dismantle the Empire, often via covert missions and subterfuge to thwart Imperial plans.
PvP Expectations
Though automatically viewed as Independent on the Holonet, expect to pay the consequences if you are discovered to be a Rebel. Your main enemy is the Empire and they are expected to react appropriately using forms of consequences as defined in the RULEBOOK. Those Players have opted in for PvP by choosing to play an Imperial and you should expect them to react.
Conversely, engage in reasonable PvP as expected in Star Wars yet in a way that makes for a good LARP story. For some examples, you may hack the Imperial database, steal Imperial credits, or challenge an Imperial to a fight.
You must be comfortable with combat, arrests, interrogation, espionage, manipulation, and temporary removal of Player Characters... and having the same done to your Character.
The Rebellion Faction is not an excuse to kill Characters on a whim. Explore those Consequences before permanently removing a Character from play. Character Death is best when everyone involved can tell an amazing story afterward.

Representative
As a politician, you represent either the town Corox Station, or the planet Selvaris, or your own agenda. You may submit new laws, manage permits, become an Elected Official, write press briefings, act as an attorney during court, as examples. Some of these activities may pay Credits via the Holonet.
Playing a Representative can be difficult since there is no Guild, no PC Leaders, and the Role is hidden on the Holonet. By choosing this Role, you must seek out your own entertainment.

If your Character is discovered, especially by the Empire, expect to pay the highest consequences.

In-Game, only Inquisitors may openly use the Force, so you want to keep your abilities a secret.
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 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. With no Faction Leaders and limited-to-no Missions, Make Your Own Fun! Or, join a Guild for some Leadership support and more Mission options.
Either way, you must be comfortable with seeking out things to do 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!

JOINING A GUILD
Choosing the appropriate INDEPENDENT Role automatically makes you a Guild Member:
Black Sun Guild
MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENT
Black Sun is a criminal organization and member of the Five Crime Syndicates (formerly Shadow Collective). Black Sun manages criminal activity in the Outer Rim, enjoying a durable and profitable relationship with the Empire by offering mercenaries and scoundrels to do the Empire's dirty work in exchange for the freedom to carry on Underworld dealings unhindered. Not all crimes are for the Empire because truthfully, Black Sun is Independent and interested in profit for themselves.
As a member of Black Sun's Guild, you will find like-minded individuals to work with in committing various crimes around Corox Station. You choose to be a member of the Black Sun syndicate, or another syndicate, or operate as a solo individual or crew. Though the Black Sun syndicate funds criminal activity in Corox Station, the Guild is open to all Scoundrels.
Crimes are posted on the HOLONET.
PvP Expectations
You may find PvP due to the criminal themes of the Black Sun. You must be comfortable with In-Game theft, crime, espionage, and consequences both for and against your Character.
