Okay, so I've just joined Forces of the Empire, now what?
Well, first Here's a description of each of the In Character Divisions within FoE.

Hey you don't tell me what a free spacer is in the division sections...but it's in the Persona Bios Page
The mercenary section is our catch all section...but it doesn't really quite fit all of our characters. Not all of us are hired soldiers, bounty hunters or smugglers and in questionable standing with the law. Some characters are folks who will take odd jobs for a living or ferry people/items around. So while "in Character" the are technically a mercenary, they fall under the sub-category of free spacer.

Same goes with Corporate Sector! What is that?
The Corporate Sector is any character who owns a business. They do not have to be physically located in the Corporate Sector portion of the galaxy or fall under the Corporate Sector Authority (CSA) to be included in FoE's Corporate Sector.
The Corporate Sector Authority is a vast private corporation that was granted a charter by the Empire to control a physical portion of the Galaxy, generally referred to as the Corporate Sector.
According to the terms of the Charter, the authority has the right to exploit the resources of the region to the fullest extent. It rules the region much the same way the Empire rules the rest of the Galaxy, as its charter empowers it to act as owner, employer, landlord, government, police, and military to all persons, place, and things within the Corporate Sector.

What is Local Color?
Local Color characters are characters that are Player Characters, but definitely do not fit into Alliance, Empire, Merc, Diplomat, Free Spacer, or Corporate Sector.

Originally this section was created as a way of distinguishing non-combatant characters in the Blaster Battle. Entertainers, Cantina Workers, Medical Personnel, all fall under Local Color.

What do I do to create a character?
Here is all the info you need for Creating a Character
Also keep in mind you can talk to the Persona Coordinator and the Division Leader for assistance. Check the Officer Contact Page For contact information on the specific person you wish to talk to.

I've got my character, but I what are the rules of Role-Play?
We only have a few rules, they are set down in our Role-Play Guidelines Page.

So I've read the rules, but how do I Role-Play?
