=Basic Summary= It had been thirty years since the death of Emperor Palpatine and the heroic sacrifice of Anakin Skywalker. Though that was a great victory that led to a string of successes by the Rebel Alliance the war continued. While hostilities did not come to an end, both sides eventually came to a ceasefire after the Rebel Alliance managed to take back a great deal of the former Galactic Republic. And from the ashes of the Galactic Civil War two new poltical states were established. The Rebel Alliance formed the New Galactic Republic, whilst the remnant of the Galactic Empire came to be known as the Galactic Confederacy soon after the death of its emperor and control of the government went to the governors. Both sides began repairing their territories and growing strength, but a looming hostility remained between the two powers.

The New Galactic Republic has Coruscant under its control and began rebuilding, and established a new senate to help run things. Leia turned down the opportunity to become a Jedi because she felt politics was still her true calling, and thus served in the Senate during the reconstruction. And by 34 ABY, she was elected Supreme Chancellor. And Luke during that time had managed to start rebuilding the Jedi order with the help of any survivors in hiding that he could find, and they began recruitment of new Jedi. Luke's first real student was a young woman around his age named Amber Montross, whom he evetnually fell in love with and married.

The two couples by 34 ABY both have sons who were Jedi in training under Luke and Amber. The elder was Bail Solo who was put under the tutelage of his uncle, the younger Owen Skywalker who was mentored by his mother. Their friend Lando married a woman named Mina Dardell and had a daughter named Alana. Unbeknownst to the three, they would come to have key roles to play in fate of the Galaxy. m During which time they will have to confront their personal flaws and rise to the occassion.

A great stirring occurs in 34 ABY when Governor Gordon Whitsun, the head of state of the Galactic Confederacy who was popular among his people for spearheading reform in certain government policies, wants to initiate peace talks with the Republic to end the violence and animosity between both sides to end, and he hopes work together for a brighter future. Both sides respond in controversy over such a notion, with many on both sides not willing to trust the other after warring for so long. In spite of her personal resentment towards the group, as it had been the Galactic Empire that had destroyed her homeworld of Alderaan, Chancellor Leia Solo wants to give peace a chance and agrees to holding a peace summit with Governor Whitsun.

Because of the notireity of his family, it was suspected that Owen will one day become the grandmaster of the Jedi Order as his father's successor. Owen was unsure in his abilities as a warrior and a leader, and didn't think he is worthy or capable of such a task.  Though he had proven himself to be a proficient pilot he ironically enough claimed to hate flying.  He was also a very capable duelist, who used a more defensive based form of lightsaber combat.

=Vessels= =Information=
 * Millennium Falcon
 * Nova Hammer: A powerful new battle cruiser with a new energy source more powerful than any known before. It's got a special technology that allows it to absorb any energy fired upon it and add it to it's own reserves, and thus appears to be invincible.
 * The Bogan: Because of the self sustaining perpetual energy source created for the Nova Hammer, Plagueis finally can charge up an ultra-powerful ancient Sith Weapon known as the Bogan Reaper. A vessel with the ability to suck the life Force from all living things surrounding it, Plagueis planning on using it's power to increase his own by a thousand times.  It was hidden a millennium ago after the defeat of the last Sith Emperor before Palpatine when their oppression was stopped by the Jedi.  It is eventually discovered to have been hidden on Tatooine.
 * JMan2.0 started coming up with a sequel trilogy on this site a long time ago, but after a long time of leaving the project alone returned and overhauled it. It originally featured many characters and plot-threads from the Expanded Universe (Such as Mara Jade and Admiral Thrawn), however he eventually decided to come up with his own lore and characters independent of the Expanded Universe to make it his own. For all intents and purposes the only canon being accounted for with this trilogy is that of the first six movies.
 * Darth Plagueis was chosen as the main antagonist because JMan2.0 wanted to make this new trilogy feel more organic with the first two. Feeling that Plagueis would help achieve this more than a completely original villain unconnected to Palpatine and the Sith would. While elements of his backstory in this storyline match-up with that of the novel Star Wars: Darth Plagueis by James Luceno, but also diverges from it in many places.
