Star WarsTESTBED
The most ambitious Star Wars roleplay project. Built on Second Life, Star Wars Testbed takes place in the 330s ABY, generations after the films. No fixed canon. No script. Your Story.
A deep player economy, a tactical combat system, factions, bounties, businesses, housing and more, all woven into one persistent galaxy.

Join the Discord for updates and announcements. Find a faction, go independent, the story you create begins TODAY.
A Galaxy That Actually Works
Star Wars Testbed runs on custom-built systems: a real economy, persistent ownership, and tactical combat. Here's a taste of what you can do.
Combat System
Tactical, stat-driven combat with weapon tiers, armor, combat ranks and special abilities, all tracked by the HUD.
Businesses
Own and run businesses on the sim. Unlock rooms and earn credits from real player demand.
Player Housing
Buy property with in-game credits and make it your own home in the galaxy.
Bounties
Post and hunt bounties with both PvP and PvE targets. Track marks, claim rewards, and build a reputation across the galaxy.
Economy & Jobs
A full economy with jobs, salaries, a player market and resource gathering. Every credit is earned.
Comms & HoloNet
Stay connected through the in-world comms system and the HoloNet attached to it, sending messages and broadcasts across the galaxy.
Factions & Banks
Recognized factions get their own org tools and an “entity bank” to fund operations and missions.
Medical & Hospitals
Get wounded, get treated. A working medical system with hospitals, beds and field care.
Transport Network
Shuttles and transport terminals move you across the sim and beyond.
And So Much More
We're always evolving. New systems and updates ship in regular patches, shaped by listening to what the community wants to see next.
Explore the Galaxy
Every photo below was captured in-world, on the sim, exactly as you'll find it. From the enclave halls on Ossus to the streets and canals of Keren, and out to the dusty sprawl of New Wayfar City on Tatooine, the galaxy is built and waiting.
Factions
Built around players, factions are more than groups. They are recognized powers on the sim with access to our Faction Tool System giving you additional organizational ability. Pledge yourself to a cause, or carve your way as an independent player.
The Jedi Order
Keepers of the light and protectors of peace, the Jedi Order offers players a dynamic story for their characters. Starting as a Jedi Youngling (maturity age+ of your species) you learn to wield the Force through custom missions and training, all built into the world around you.
Found Your Own Faction
Have a vision for a new power in the galaxy? Apply to establish your own recognized faction, complete with access to the Faction Tool System, an entity bank, and full organizational tools.
Applications Currently ClosedApplications will open on the sim's opening day.

These are the baseline expectations. Applications open at a later date, requirements may be adjusted before then.
The Rules
A few ground rules keep the galaxy fair and immersive for everyone. (Full rulebook is shared in-world & on Discord.)
01 Respect Everyone
Treat players with respect out-of-character. No harassment, hate, or OOC drama. Leave conflict in the story.
02 Consent-Based RP
No godmodding or forcing major outcomes (capture, permadeath, etc.) on another character without agreement.
03 Use the Systems
Combat, economy and gear run on the HUD and sim systems. Don't bypass or exploit them, play it straight.
04 Stay In Character
Keep IC and OOC separate. Use designated OOC channels; immersion makes the galaxy feel alive.
05 Lore & Setting
The era is open, but stay believable within Star Wars. No out-of-setting tech or characters.
06 Follow SL & Staff
Second Life's Terms of Service & Community Standards apply. Staff decisions are final, so reach out if unsure.
Join the Sim Team
Star Wars Testbed is built and run by players like you. Three teams keep the galaxy turning, and each one recruits on its own schedule.
Current openings are listed on the application portal.
