The Verse is incomprehensibly enormous. Still sentients of all stripes keep trying to control their little corner. Here are some short descriptions of the galaxy and history 500 years after the battle of Endor.The Galactic Alliance; or aka the Alliance is the evolution of Luke's rebellion against the Empire. Allied space takes up about 2/3rds of the known galaxy and is governed by an interplanetary parliament of popularly elected leaders. Not currently at war with anyone it is ever vigilant in guarding its borders. It fought off the Yuuzhan Vong, the Reborn Sith Empire, and the Fel Empire among countless other threats. Also the home of the Jedi Order, a peaceful religious sect of monks trained in the ways of the force.      Mandalorian Space; Over the last tumultous few centuries the Mandalorians have regrouped and retightened their grip on a small portion of the galaxy. Though small, it remains very powerful. Ruled by a seires of castes the few dozen settled systems around Mandalore export highly advanced battleships, weapons, and armor courtesy of Mandel Motors and Tuang Arms. Many "Mandalores" govern star systems and report to the First Mandalore for government wide decision making.The Fel Empire; Created from the ashes of Palpatine's empire the Galactic Alliance selected a few planets for the Remnants of the Empire to govern themselves under the watchful gaze of Roan Fel, lover and later husband of Jaina Solo. Their children grew strong and the Empire (allied with the Sith) expanded in a successful but ill advised war against the Alliance. Eventually betrayed by the Sith they regained some honor by aiding the Alliance in pushing back the Sith. Fast forward a few hundred years and the Fel Empire is still governed by a benevolent and powerful force using emporer named Han Fel. Han is old and close to death with no clear heir to the empire....The Sith Empire; the Sith have taken over a large portion of the unknown territories, now known as simply Sith Space. While most Sith aren't the cartoonishly evil caricatures history paints them to be, they still lust for power. Sith Space isn't happy, but its generally considered fair. You do a hard days work, you get fed. Fail to serve and you are removed from society. The strong rule the weak and most live under gentle oppression, but oppression none the less. A young and extremely powerful Sith Lord currently holds position as Emperor. While not actively at war, border disputes and trade violations are not uncommon between Fel's Empire or the Alliance. A cold war simmers, that could run hot at the slightest misstep.  Hutt Space; Like a stain on the Outer Rim the Galaxy can't wash away, Hutt Space is a vast collection of sectors owned by vile gangsters. Illegal activity of all kinds exists under the sanction and purview of the Hutts. Smuggling, slaving, piracy and worse are common place and even encouraged as long as the local Hutt gets a portion of the profits of pain. Hutt's offer asylum to all sorts of unsavory characters such as pirates and other criminals. They will do anything to turn a profit. Their slimy tendrils work their way across the galaxy in spice houses, gambling halls, bordellos and other dens of iniquity. Should any of their illegal activities be discovered the Hutt Consortium hands over the "guilty" party and is shocked such an event would occur. That surely that will be the last such problem. Almost every government and empire owes the Hutt's some form of money or trade debt, and everybody tries to ignore where the money probably came from.</blockquote>
