Greetings, true believers! In this section of the forum we'll be explaining what we consider 'official' in terms of our guild-specific canon lore. Most people use Wookiepedia as their go-to, and while there's nothing inherently wrong with that approach, it can and often is written by pretty much anybody and often contradictory. We'll be taking some creative liberties here and there, as needed, in order to make our stories and characters work.
If someone contradicts something said in this section, we'll be polite both IC and OOC, but in character our characters will likely dismiss them as being misinformed, delusional, or dishonest. For instance, in the time I've spent roleplaying, no less than 3 roleplayers or RP entities have claimed ownership of the Slippery Slopes cantina. Canonically, we say the bar is owned by an anonymous local owner who deposits payment into bartending character's accounts automatically, and never sets foot in the bar itself. This helps avoid getting dragged into conflict over RP ownership that can't really be enforced via game mechanics.
Establishing our canon is not designed to hurt anyone's feelings or invalidate their RP standpoint. Instead it's merely a standard for us to adhere to and agree on. We welcome outsider perspective and feedback, but will make decisions based on our lore internally. Our lore will almost always be based on printed material, and will be given during RP lessons on 'Galactic History', and summarized here. Thanks for reading!
