The end of the year approaches, according to the calendar adopted by the New Republic (and steadfastly opposed by the Empire), and it has been one of the most significant years in galactic history.
CURRENT TERRITORIES AND STRENGTH
[Territory marked as a percentage of civilized space, military force marked as the number of Sector Groups or equivalent fighting force available to the faction)
MAJOR FACTIONS
OTHER FACTIONS
ONGOING CONFLICTS
The Zsinj-Imperial War: Running strong for three months now, Zsinj has been making massive gains despite having what should be the inferior force. An increasing number of Moffs, Admirals and lesser Warlords are joining his cause and fleeing what seems to be the sinking Imperial ship.
The War in the Underworld: The Hutt Cartel has been shattered, perhaps permanently. Black Sun, Talon Karrde's Smugglers, the Zann Consortium and the Dirano crime group are picking up the pieces, and violence is increasing throughout the galaxy.
New Republic Wars of Defense: Taking up the responsibility of defending it's citizenry, the New Republic is engaged in two wars: one with invaders from the Richi Maze, the other from the Unknown Regions. Both wars seem to be heading towards resounding victories for the Republic.
RECENT EVENTS
The Empress on the Outer Rim: The Pentastar Alignment has been subsumed by a new political entity, known as the First Order, who have since named a new Empress for themselves. Most of the faction's territory is on the Outer rim or the edges of the Unknown Regions, but they have become overnight one of the stronger post-imperial factions in the galaxy.
Plague in Hutt Space: An experimental imperial bioweapon was released on Nal Hutta. Despite the initial shock, the planet's remaining population have managed to contain the outbreak, and are now steadily gaining ground in reclaiming their world. Similar outbreaks have begun throughout Hutt Space and the nearby star systems, and there is talk of an oversector-wide quarantine. Total casualty estimates range close to two billion.
Communications Breakdown: Some unknown party has begun actively sabotaging the Holonet. Holonet Relay satellites throughout the galaxy are being put offline or destroyed. Given how these machines are an essential part of galactic infrastructure, and all factions stand to benefit from it remaining in place, no one yet knows what the purpose of these actions is.
