The battle of Geonosis is over, and the Clone Wars have just begun. The long peace that was brought aboout a thousand years ago has ended, and the galaxy finds itself thrust into conflict once again. Sides are now drawn between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. As systems break away from the Republic, the Jedi Order finds itself drawn into this war, and a new Clone army stands poised to defend the Republic and her worlds.

In this opening phase is where you enter the picture. There are many questions that this conflict brings, but one thing is certain. Few people are going to be able to avoid becoming involved in some capacity, whether they are politician, civilian, Jedi, or someone looking to take advantage of the uncertainty.
