• Set 15 Years after Return of the Jedi
• Similar to events of the EU, conflict still exists between the Rebel Alliance, who now control much of the galaxy, and the Imperial Remnant (referred to here as The Union of Imperial Loyalists)
• Both Mon Mothma and Princess Leia are namechecked, as the Supreme Chancellor and her Vice, respectively
• Two Jedi Knights are mentioned, new characters: Master Evyn Aoka, a Kiffar Jedi who survived the great Jedi Purge, and his Padawan, Sky Bonteri
• Other characters include Manco, a cyborg Mandalorian, Kala Calrissian, an unknown relation of Lando who appears to be of a Han Solo-esque disposition, President Rath Zel-Quul, the Chiss leader of the Imperial Loyalists, and a mysterious Lightsaber wielding Robin Hood-styled character known only as 'The Shade'
• The series would see both Rebels and Imperials unite against a common foe: an army of black, self-replicating droids that suddenly rise up and attack Coruscant from within its own undercity, specifically Level 1313 (Interestingly, Level 1313 was going to be the setting for the late Lucasart's upcoming Next-Gen video game, before the studio was shuttered by Disney two weeks ago and the project seemingly cancelled).

Mav Edit: As was pointed out below, there is already a thread on this topic.

 

The horror has been unleashed in this thread....

 

Well, our very own homestead theforce.net reported the story, so...there's that.

 

Apologies, did not see this possibly related thread...
