Remember.. The Force will be with you always.
-Obi-wan Kenobi
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a great war raged. With the support of the Old Republic, the Jedi, galactic peacekeepers and masters of the Ways of the Force, combated the evil Sith, whose only goal was ultimate and unlimited power. Across the galaxy, battles were fought to preserve the balance of the Force, the energy field that surrounded all living things. For the balance to be undone would mean the destruction of life as it was known, and it was the ultimate goal of the Jedi Order to defeat the Sith, for once and ever.
To the untrained eye, the massive conflict seems very black and white. But upon closer inspection, the lines are blurred, and every day, more Jedi fall to the unbridled emotions and promises of power that define the temptation of the dark side.
Will you fight for the balance of the force and the preservation of the light?
Will you fight for the Old Republic, and the safety of the entire galaxy?
Will you give up your life for the Jedi Order, and vow to restore order to the Force?
Or
Will you fight for the freedom of emotion and the destruction of balance?
Will you fight for the Sith Empire, and free the galaxy from the corrupt Old Republic?
Will you give up your life for the Brotherhood of the Sith, and vow to restore order to the Force?
"You are no more powerful than you make yourself. If you see yourself as having weakness, you are simply increasing the problem. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy."
-Lord Mal'kith
The Sith focused on anger, fear, and pain to gain power from the dark side of the Force. They followed a code that encouraged the strong to destroy the weak, and insisted on the importance of struggling and striving. The relationship between a Sith Master and their apprentice was not one of trust. Indeed, both the master and the apprentice constantly searched for any sign of weakness in the other, for a weak master deserved to be overthrown by their pupil, just as a weak pupil deserved to be replaced by a worthier, more powerful recruit. That harsh philosophy allowed the Sith to remain as strong as possible.-Lord Mal'kith

The Jedi Order was an ancient, monastic peacekeeping organization of Force users, unified by its belief in and observance of the Force, specifically the light side. The Jedi served the Old Republic as guardians of peace and justice for more than a thousand years. While well known as diplomats, the Jedi carried lightsabers, the symbol and weapon of choice of the Order. Led by the Jedi High Council, Jedi Masters would instruct young Padawans in the ways of the Force and the Jedi Code, training them until they had achieved full status as Jedi Knights. Centered in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, the Jedi used the Temple as a base of operations—from which they would be sent out on missions or to study the nature of the Force, historical accounts, or otherwise, from the vast Jedi Archives.

Heirarchy of the Jedi Order:

"If at first you don't succeed, reload."

The target would have a price or bounty on their heads that would be collected by the bounty hunter upon successful capture or proof of death. Bounty hunters would sometimes team together as part of a larger mission or to handle dangerous targets.
