>>46123So I do this largely forum-based RP and one of the big things there is 'faction' RP, where there's a big emphasis put on geopolitical stuff. Since like 2019 I was doing RP partly as an exercise in social fiction. I also run a character who left the Jedi Order because it was full of idealist pussies and liberals. He has since become Mand'alor and rides a boomer-ass Basilisk droid into battle, it's kino shit.
The Solidarity started as a coalition of Outer Rim spacers, droids, and AGIs who rose out of a massive slave revolt during the Hutts’ collapse. By ~300 ABY, they’ve grown into a hyperstate of around 100,000 planets, running on a centrally planned economy and labor-credit system. Their alliance with the Republic is pragmatic: both need each other against the Sith, but the Republic also keeps ties with the Hutts, who are quietly reviving slavery as debt peonage.
Militarily, the Solidarity fields smaller but far higher-quality forces than their rivals, avoiding clone or droid armies out of principle; they uphold a “joint dictatorship of the organic and synthetic proletariats.” They’ve just finished a war that quadrupled their territory and can’t sustain more fighting, so their focus is political: undermining and delegitimizing the Hutts while preparing their own Force traditions alongside the Jedi.
