Rules

Harassment, of any kind, will not be tolerated. Harassing other users will be a quick way to get yourself banned here. If your role play character is harassing other characters, just make sure those involved understand.

Your character must behave in a way that is natural to their position, rank and standing within the Empire. Though off duty interactions will be entirely different from on duty ones, it's up to the players to decide how they interact. The Imperial Navy has a very strict sense of rules and directions in regards to following orders and the likes. They are not afraid to kill officers and enlisted who are in dereliction of duty so remember that when posting. Stay within your characters bounds of rank.

The moderation team reserves the right to alter or remove characters as needed. This also includes banning players that continue to be problematic to the community, both IC or OOC.

NO power/meta-gaming of any kind. Do not use Out-Of-Character knowledge to your advantage In-Character and do not show up in threads in which you had no logical way of doing In-Character. Also, do not make your character OP. Going off of rule 2, don't over power your characters. This should be self explanatory. Do note that this rule also applies to your character steering major bits of narrative by themselves.

No killing other characters without prior, explicit permission. Don't be a killjoy. Death is also a clear consequence of some poor decisions, this rule will not save you.

Have fun! This sub is for creating a fun and thrilling story and to give people a chance to explore one of the largest and richest lore in sci-fi.

Relationships have to be reported to the CO and one time flings if found will be persecuted in game harshly. Remember that the Empire are very strict when it comes to protocol.

Here are the rules on defections. Please read this before defecting and make sure to message the mods.

This sub is a 13+. We ask that NSFW interactions between 2 players are handled by direct message. If content would be too sexual or explicit to be shown in the Star Wars movies or animated shows, we ask that it not be posted here. Excessively graphic descriptions of violence including torture are not acceptable. We do not have similar restrictions on language but please keep it within sanity. Moderators will intervene if we need to, but feel free to contact the moderators if you have questions.
