Star Army

Star ArmyⓇ is a landmark of forum roleplaying. Opened in 2002, Star Army is like an internet clubhouse for people who love roleplaying, art, and worldbuilding. Anyone 18 or older may join for free. New members are welcome! Use the "Register" button below.

Note: This is a play-by-post RPG site. If you're looking for the tabletop miniatures wargame "5150: Star Army" instead, see Two Hour Wargames.

  • If you were supposed to get an email from the forum but didn't (e.g. to verify your account for registration), email Wes at [email protected] or talk to me on Discord for help. Sometimes the server hits our limit of emails we can send per hour.
  • Get in our Discord chat! Discord.gg/stararmy
  • 📅 December 2024 is YE 46.9 in the RP.

Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia

A gritty empire full of industrious, heavily armed men of action. Some struggle to forge peace, while others live war as a way of life. Home to humans and cyborgs.

United Norian Imperium

The Norian people—a society of advanced, elf-like beings—are marked by a history of conflict and resilience. Now entering the SARPiverse, they face their first-ever change in the Imperial Family, sparking divisions within the Imperium. Some factions seek to restore unity, while others fall under the sway of an ancient enemy bent on their destruction. The Norians now stand at a crossroads between renewal and ruin.

The Multiverse (Freeform RP)

This is a forum for in-character posts outside the realm of the canon Star Army roleplay. That means roleplay events that happen here don't count in the storyline and there are no restrictions on setting, timeline, or characters. Mix and match as you please. Have fun!
