The Empire
----------------------------------------
"Once Corellia was under the control of the unrepentant Jedi and corrupt Republic officials! However, now it has been liberated by the Empire! With minimal imperial oversight, Prime Minister Saa now leads the mighty Corellian people to a new era of prosperity and power. But, alas, our story is not without sadness. On the day of our great conquest, we lost perhaps our brightest and greatest contributor, (posthumously awarded) Lord Shaange, who now walks on the tether between life and death! Who was responsible for our great hero's condition? None other than the deceitful Jedi, they call Master Tin!"
-Excerpt from 'The Liberation of Corellia' Historical Account, by Imperial Minister Tis.
The Empire has since the 'Liberation of Corellia' has seen rather extensive growth. This is largely attributed to the fact that the loss of Corellia was seen by many Planet-States in the Aperture Alliance as a loss of the Republic's once-great strength. This has ultimately lead to many Planet-States joining the growing Empire.
On the other hand, tensions between the Empire and the Mandalorians have grown following the death of Mandalorian War Leader Rupre by an unknown Sith Lord. While the Empire has yet to respond, many Mandalorians have seen their silence as an admittance of guilt.

The Republic
----------------------------------------
"Brothers, Sisters, we come together on the day our darkest fears have become realized, Corellia has been conquered by the Empire and we ourselves are powerless to do anything. Yet, even without power, we still shall not falter. We must not falter for those that became before us. The Sith they call Lord Shaange, the one responsible for the death of Master Rarza and General Josarn, he has been defeated already by one of our own, Master Tin! For that, we must not give up, for we have something that not the Empire nor its Emperor could ever withstand, we have Hope!"
-Excerpt from 'Hope' Speech, by (Former) President Feen.
The Republic since the 'Liberation of Corellia' has found itself weaker. The Aperture Alliance once closely allied to the Republic has now had most of their members joining the Empire. But, President Feen's arousing speech has not fallen on deaf ears.
Military enlistment in the Republic has nearly tripled since the loss of Corellia, old Generals and Admirals have retaken their posts, and even the most corrupt officials now know, that if they want to keep their lavish life, then they will need to fight for it.

The Aperture Alliance
----------------------------------------
The loss of many Planet-States has led many to see the Aperture Alliance as no longer a combined group, but, rather instead a collection of Planet-States, only barely surviving. With many Planet-States leaving to the Empire, the power of the Aperture Alliance does indeed seem great, but, in truth, it is an Alliance on the brink of destruction. Any and every action made could lead to destruction, and as such, it remains even more neutral to most events in the Galaxy, in fear of destroying itself.

The Hutt Cartel
----------------------------------------
The Cartel has taken advantage of the war between the Republic and Empire and has recently been bolder in creating their profits.
Recently, however, they lost a large portion of their fleet in a battle with an unknown bounty hunter, and the Balmorran Kingdom.
----------------------------------------
Mandalorians
----------------------------------------
Rising tensions with the Empire, due to War Leader Rupre's alleged assassination by an unknown Sith Lord. Mandalore the Emancipator is currently undergoing diplomatic measures with the Empire.
----------------------------------------
Voss
----------------------------------------
Nobody knew how it happened, but, the very planet itself shook.
Something had called out to Voss...
----------------------------------------
Balmorra
----------------------------------------
"So... It has been unleashed... Your highness, it is time."
"Already!?"
There was no reply from the first voice.
"Uhh... I don't want to do it..."
Again, there was no reply.
"Fine... I suppose it is time, I face my past..."
----------------------------------------
Corellia
----------------------------------------
"Four years... It's been that long already?" A slim young man with orange-yellow eyes and dark brown hair asked the man next to him who was evidently an Imperial Officer and a Colonel with the uniform he wore.
There was a moment of silence before the reply came, "Yes, it has my Lord, I thought you would have noticed. After all, your wardrobe has changed extensively..."
"Tarvis! I said call me Aridal!"
"Right, right, Lord Aridal," Tarvis jokingly replied.
"Oi, I said---" Aridal was interrupted as a thunderstorm appeared out of nowhere.
"Tarvis, look what you've done!"
"Me? I'm not the one with Force Powers!"
"Still your fault!"
"No, it isn't!"
"Yes, it is."
"Let's just... Find some cover in there..." Tarvis gave up.
Tarvis and Aridal then both entered a large monolith, and their conversation continued.
"You think, he'll be awake?"
Tarvis did not reply.
"Hey, why aren't you replying?"
"No reason. Just remembered what happened on Voss when I did."
"..."
There were no words for a few moments as they both continued to walk.
----------------------------------------
At the centre of the Monolith, a beam of energy shot up into the sky.
After which, an ancient voice came out, one that was as if had the power to command armies with a single word or to scatter them with another.
"...Oh, F*ck. I feel like I've had the longest--- Wait, I didn't drink anything... Uhh... Where the hell even am I?"
Shaange had awoken.
"What's this with my face---"
Then he realized he had a mask on his face.
The Mask of Narva Worso.
"Ok, I definitely drank something."
