The world exists in a multiverse with our galaxy being one of many. Within the galaxy are many solar systems, you have old systems such as Sol (which was mostly destroyed by the empire) and the current starting system Thaxim.
Thaxim consists of only three planetary bodies and one sun. The planets are in order from closest to farthest being:
Ero, Lament, and Thaxim Prime.
There are many bordering solar systems that will be available to visit once development takes off; with new areas being unlocked as they are available. We will manage this through the hyperdrive ship system. New areas will be 'unlocked' as they are discovered.
All players will be a survivor of earth, escaping to the Thaxim mining Colony known as Thengston Platform. Thengston sits in space around a small asteroid belt that sits between Thaxim Prime and Lament.
Earth has vastly been destroyed by the empire in their attempts to build a planet destroyer (and succeeded mostly). Players will be stranded on the platform for some time until new areas are unlocked and developed to which ship technology will become available and players can leave the platform for other areas such as planetary surfaces or small outposts/villages.
Outside of the platform is the Thengston asteroid belt which consists of several large and many smaller asteroids. One or two of these will be close enough for players to use an EVA suit to explore. They will be able to mine materials there as well as go exploring the depths (tunnels) where there is a form of hostile alien life as well as better mining veins and materials for more advanced weapons/ship building.
Life on the platform is controlled by a small group of banded-together survivors called "The Elect". These officers control the daily activities of the platform including the creation of rules/laws while aboard the platform.
Players will have an opportunity to play as a security team member, mining faction, explorer, or even a mercenary / hunter who is brave enough to go into the tunnels of the asteroids.
The platform has housing units for players as well as a common area and food supply. Players will be paid for their contributions. Miners make money by turning in ore, crafters can turn ore into goods and sell them. Security team makes a base salary (lower than most). Explorers can turn in found objects or sell information to other players and mercenary/hunters can sell off any excess alien food they come across and/or objects.
The weapons in game consist of kyber-powered blaster rifles as well as light sabers (rare) which only those of the proper mind training can come to master. The force does exist and can be manipulated but this race of earth survivors has long lost the proper training and meditative techniques to master the force. In time, one may rise up to prove themselves capable of being force-sensitive and may inherit and learn to master it.
