Summary
Hey everyone, I’m curious to see if people would be interested in a Star Wars-themed server. This server would have many similarities and differences to a traditional FiveM server. There will still be “emergency services”, but they will act a lot differently than traditional police/fire/EMS. “Civilians” will also play a unique role and can become smugglers, bounty hunters, etc. Now that you have a quick summary, keep reading for further details and questions.
Background
I want to start by establishing a little background on who I am and why I want to pursue this project. If you don’t care, I promise I won’t take offense, just scroll to the next section lol. I started playing FiveM in 2020 and owned 2 active servers, with a few thousand members each. These servers are traditional FiveM vMenu servers. Around 2024, I took a break from video games to focus on work. Recently, I started playing Star Wars Battlefront 2, and this idea popped into my head. I wanted to get back into FiveM, but traditional servers sounded kinda boring. I already work full-time in law enforcement, so the last thing I want to do is come home and do unpaid OT (my job is salary, so I rarely get paid OT anyway). For the civilian side, I can just leave my house and be a civilian, so that also sounded a bit boring. I figured this idea would be unique, and from the brief research I’ve done, there are 0 active Star Wars-themed servers. I also figured if EA won’t make an open-world game with different classes, then I will 
(SWTOR and Outlaws don’t count).
The Current Plan (Feedback Requested)
Framework:
-
System: ESX
- allows for custom, unique jobs for each “class”
- currency system, which requires some level of “grind” (adds the game aspect)
- overall realism
-
Era:
- Current plan:
- Galactic Empire Era (Empire vs Rebels)
- Alternative:
- Galactic Republic Era (Clones vs Separatists)
- Current plan:
Classes:
-
“Military”:
- Galactic Empire: Stormtroopers, ISB, pilot, etc.
- Rebels: fighters, pilots, etc. (Rebels will be able to hold a normal job simultaneously)
-
“Police”:
- Each area (city/county) will have a form of “police”
- They will act sort of like normal police (traffic stops, responding to calls, etc.)
-
Fire/EMS:
- Each area will have a fire response team and medics
-
Civilian:
- Civilians can work numerous jobs
- Working for a specific class boosts your reputation within that class (higher pay, rank, etc.)
- Jobs include:
- Traditional jobs: taxi driver, restaurant worker, etc.
- Bounty hunter: civilians or military can hire them for jobs
- Smuggler/Pirate: Essentially criminal activity (working in the underworld, stealing, etc.)
-
Force Wielders
- I’m still brainstorming how to incorporate this without making it crazy
- My current idea is for it to randomly assign characters’ “force sensitivity” upon creation. However, they will not know until they begin the “quest,” which will be different for everyone and will be a lengthy quest. The plan is for the quest to alert the Empire, so that the Empire will simultaneously hunt them.
- Again, huge WIP rn, but please please please provide feedback
Map:
-
Current plan:
- Los Santos –> Coruscant
- Blaine County –> Tatooine (or some other desert-style planet)
- Cayo Perico –> Yavin 4 (possible redesign)
- As time progresses, map extensions will be added
- Textures will be redesigned to fit the theme
- Futuristic-style buildings, establishments, etc. will be added
-
I’m looking into creating an entirely new map; however, I am unsure if this is optimal or possible
Structure:
-
The Empire acts as a “federal authority” over the entire “galaxy” (state). They focus more on finding rebels (opposing military), and in certain situations, they will be called in to support local police. Soldiers of the Empire will be allowed to defect (go do some Finn/Solo type stuff)
-
Rebels will have to blend into society to avoid detection (working normal jobs, clandestine operations, etc.). They will have to establish covert bases and essentially sneak around. Additionally, rebels will be allowed to go undercover within the Empire. (except no saying “I’m the spy” after wiping out numerous planets
) -
Local police (Courscant and Tatooine) will act according to the area. Tatooine “police” will be more “sheriff” style, while Coruscant police will operate more like a traditional police department (go watch the new Maul show for insight lol)
Help Needed:
-
Help would be greatly appreciated, but unfortunately, it will be completely unpaid. With the government shutting down every other week, I barely get paid as is. I also want to keep this server free of the “pay-to-win” mindset.
-
I will be doing a lot of the development for this project, as I have experience in the past, but help would be greatly appreciated
-
Roles needed:
- Moderators (Discord/In-Game)
- Graphic Designers
- Map Makers
- Clothing/Vehicle Designers
- Coders
Final Remarks:
-
If you read all of my yap, thank you!
-
Please provide any feedback, or if this project interests you.
-
Timeline:
-
Later this week: dependent on expressed interest, move forward in creating a Discord/start development (I’m not gonna waste my time if no one is interested lol)
-
Beta ETA: ~August
-
Full Release ETA: ~September
-
I look forward to hearing from everyone
