Story LARPs at Galactic Civil War

Immersive, always-on roleplay where the galaxy runs 24/7. Players stay in-character during the course of events, taking jobs, running missions, trading, following their Army's chain of command and shaping the story through their actions. 
Key Features:
  • Continuous Play – The game never pauses; events unfold in real time.
  • Faction Missions & Jobs – Contracts, smuggling, bounty hunts, and diplomacy affect the war.
  • Economy & Upgrades – Earn and spend credits on gear, intel, and influence.
  • Dynamic NPCs – Merchants, officers, and underworld figures react to your choices.
  • Lasting Consequences – Your successes and failures change the game world.
Unaffiliated Players: Role & Mechanics
  • Who counts as Unaffiliated?
    Anyone whose costume doesn’t clearly follow Imperial or Rebel uniform standards—think mercenaries, bounty hunters, Mandalorians, outlaws, and other galactic drifters.
  • What gameplay functions do they have?
    • Independent path: Unlike Rebel or Imperial players, they have no faction allegiance or steady income. They must seek gigs from NPCs—such as shopkeepers, guilds, or local citizens—to earn credits.
    • High cost of downtime: Upon elimination, Unaffiliated players respawn at a Bacta Clinic—but must pay credits to do so.

Sub-Factions

Several Sub-Factions exist, gaining favor and ultimately affiliation with these Sub-Factions can grant your character additional opportunities or special perks that can help them in-game, but it can also close doors with rivals, or even paint a target on your back.

NOTE: The affiliation with these Sub-Factions is granted solely on your actions, and through your actions you may also lose affiliation!

STORY LARP Mechanics

HEAT

What It Is:
  • Shows how notorious your character is in the criminal underworld.
  • Represented by orange armbands/leg bands (1 per HEAT Rank).
  • More HEAT = more jobs & payouts, but also marks you as a target for Bounty Hunters.
Getting HEAT:
  • +1 HEAT issued for completing NPC criminal jobs (smuggling, burglary, piracy, unauthorized slicing, assassinations).
  • Imperial/Perla characters issue +1 HEAT on players that touch eliminate them during their bleedouts. The HEAT band is to be issued while the touch elimination is occuring.
  • Imperial/Perla Officers may issue multiple HEAT bands if they catch you committing illegal acts. These bands can be issued while the offending player is alive, in bleedout or eliminated.
  • Certain NPCs can also issue HEAT if they witness crimes.
Max HEAT:
  • 4 bands (one per limb).
  • At 4 HEAT, you may get a tracking FOB placed on you. HEAT bands are removed, but you stay at Rank 4 until a Bounty Hunter with a tracking remote captures you.
Losing HEAT:
  1. Lay Low – Interact with certain NPCs/immersion players (e.g., Casino safehouse). Band marked with removal time: 45 min per band.
  2. Brought in by Bounty Hunter – Pay:
    • 1 band: 200 credits
    • 2 bands: 400 credits
