Force Ranking System: Advanced system with rank progression, modifiers, titles, and robes.
Bounty Hunting Integration: Bounty Hunters can target Jedi, with player-placed bounties.
Our PvP system follows the Pre Publish 13 TEF format with a custom player city alignment. Players can choose between covert or overt status after joining a faction.
