A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away there was a planet named Tatooine. And on that majestic desert of a planet, there was a wretched hive of scum and villainy known as Mos Espa. A small town in the outer rim, it is the perfect breeding ground for any type of character. Whether you’re a youngling, or a Mandalorian bounty hunter with a vendetta or even an evolving sith lord walking upon the path of power, Mos Espa has something for everyone!

I roleplay a Mandalorian named Johnathan Tem. I noticed right away from getting into it the sim that there was a dominant empire on the planet. The empire places bounties, which makes the planet very prosperous for me. There is also a very large crime organization in Espa, which adds even more into my credit balance. This just shows that you don’t have to join any groups, to make it in the bank. There were several force users walking around, and a ton of people there to roleplay with.

This is much better than some other sims, which may attract visitor per day. Along with the many groups that inhabit the sim, there are several places to stand on top of roof-tops and get a very beautiful view of the sandy retreat. I looked and almost found myself brought to tears by its majestic devotion to what Star Wars role-play really is. Having grown up with the movies, it’s very beautiful to see it represented in a sim so well.

There is a possibility in Star Wars RP that other RP’s lack. There is a possibility to be the dashing starship captain that saves the day or his arch nemesis; or a jedi who opposes slavery, and fights it every waking moment that he has!

In all honesty, every sim for star wars roleplay is unique and beautiful. I’ve always been a big fan of desert environments like Tatooine. There are just so many people there waiting to become a local law enforcement member, or a smuggler who was born and raised in the local slums. Me personally? I just want to be the man who took some rock from that planet and turned it into the diamond that holds a place in his heart for eternity.
