Hello There!

You may have seen some of our previous posts about our political sim based on the Star Wars New Republic, or maybe you haven’t! Well we've recently decided to do a refresh and reboot and our Moderators have sent us back to the Early Republic ~circa 17000BBY, right before the First Alsakan War.

Why are we posting this here? If you’re interested in the Roman Empire, you may be interested in this time period of the Star Wars galaxy and we’ve decided to model our sim around the early Roman Empire this time.

Our sim may be perfect for you if you want to explore and roleplay the storytelling, law making, and the politics of this timeline as we each play Senators of worlds of our choosing and try navigate the Senate of the Republic for our world and our political factions.

Every few weeks the events team puts forward in-universe events which we as Senators must be dealt with together (or not...) and this drives our new in game canon.

The main action of the Simulation takes place on our discord ( https://discord.gg/fJ3b54DYJx ), where we coordinate, chat and have a community outside the more stuffy confines of the subreddit, but you can find a lot of our work on r/model_holonet !!**
