In many ways, Star Wars is similar to Conspiracy, particularly in terms of combat systems, population, and attention to detail. This MUSH is still undergoing development, so more features will be added as time passes. ¶ Star Wars is set two years after the end of Return of the Jedi. As the New Republic grows, the Empire no longer dominates the galaxy, but it still exists. With the end of the all-encompassing Empire, however, independent traders and small collectives have begun to spring up. It is a universe with scores of political factions, and these factions provide the basis for much of the roleplaying on the MUSH. ¶ Players have choices when creating characters. Over twenty races are available, including well-known Star Wars races , and more obscure races . Details on these races are available to help players create backgrounds for their characters. ¶ Probably the biggest factor in character roleplaying, however, is the faction system. Two of the largest factions are the New Republic and the Empire. Other factions exist, however, ranging from the Corporate Sector Authority and the Trade Federation to covert groups like the Shadow Bandits. Moreover, characters don't have to join any faction; they can operate as independents. [...] Star Wars offers a unique method for creating characters. New characters are created online and in real time, by players who are specifically given the power. As a newbie, you are expected to log on as a guest and explore the world, including the extensive information system. Observers automatically connect to a dedicated communications channel, called the registration channel. [...] When you're ready for a character, you send a message through the channel [...] The player who answers your message will help you with the creation process. He or she may ask questions about what you plan to do after you have your character; remember, you are supposed to investigate before asking for a character so that you will have some ideas ready. [...] If you're interested in joining a faction, you probably should connect to the recruit communications channel, where characters send messages to recruit others for their factions, so it's a good thing to do if you want to hear the sales pitches or to learn more about a particular faction. Don't overlook the smaller factions if you log on at the wrong time. You'll probably always find someone who wants you to join the Empire and follow the Dark Side, but the smaller factions may not always have players online. ¶ Of course, one of the most popular choices for a new character is to become a Jedi Knight. However, you can't just decide to do this. Actually, it's somewhat reminiscent of becoming a Dragonrider on PernMUSH: a Jedi master must recruit your character. Unlike PernMUSH, however, players cannot seek out status as a Jedi; they must wait for the results of the search. [...] This MUSH offers another excellent choice for roleplaying, in a world that's proven durable and popular. Not all the promised features are available yet, so you have to be patient at times. But Star Wars is a complex, powerful system for roleplaying." }
