SWG RPG Game Overview
Setting
The game events are set around 9 ABY, during the time of The Mandalorian. This period follows the fall of the Galactic Empire and the rise of the New Republic. Players can explore the galaxy as it navigates the aftermath of the Empire's defeat, encountering both remnants of the old regime and the burgeoning influence of the New Republic.
The game will launch with 10 primary planets: Tatooine, Naboo, Corellia, Talus, Rori, Dantooine, Lok, Yavin 4, the forest moon of Endor, and Dathomir. After the Beta 4 release, an additional 105 planets will be introduced, vastly expanding the game's universe and offering players a wide array of new environments to explore.
Each of the original 10 planets is represented by approximately 225 square kilometers (15 km x 15 km maps) of game space. In contrast, the expansion planets of Kashyyyk and Mustafar are smaller, constructed differently (e.g., instances) and in some cases imposed different rules than the original, such as terrain that is not traversable (i.e., mountains or hills that cannot be climbed over).
In addition to the 12 planets, there are 12 space zones, each encompassing approximately 3400 cubic kilometers (15 km cubes) of fully navigable space. Nine of them are associated with one or more of the playable planets: Tatoo (Tatooine), Naboo (Naboo and Rori), Corellia (Corellia and Talus), Dantooine, Karthakk (Lok), Yavin, Endor, Dathomir, and Kashyyyk. Mustafar has no associated space zone. Kessel is used for high-level gameplay and player-versus-player combat. Hoth is fully accessible and non-instanced, allowing players to explore the planet freely.
Examples of characters and points of interest that players can visit within the game include R2-D2, C-3PO, their escape pod on Tatooine, the Naboo Royal Palace, the abandoned Rebel bases on Dantooine and Yavin 4, the notorious pirate Nym in his stronghold on Lok, Ewoks, and Rancors. Other main characters include Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia Organa, Chewbacca, Admiral Ackbar, Jan Dodonna, Boba Fett, Jabba, Borvo the Hutt, Bib Fortuna, Salacious Crumb, General Otto, Colonel Panaka, Max Rebo, Wedge Antilles, Gavyn Sykes, Watto, Boss Nass, Grand Inquisitor Ja'ce Yiaso, Taga Olak, Jefa Bowa, and the Force ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
References are also made to characters from the Star Wars expanded universe, such as Grand Admiral Thrawn. Mara Jade from the Thrawn trilogy can be found in the Deathwatch bunker, as well as in Theed on Naboo for Empire Day. HK-47 from the Knights of the Old Republic video games is the main boss involved in the Champion of Mustafar quest.
The game also references the other two Star Wars spin-off films, in that the player may encounter the Gorax species from Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure, and the base of the Sanyassan Marauders, as seen in Ewoks: The Battle for Endor.
