SWMUD is set in the Star Wars universe. Though there is no set 
time-period for this mud, the areas roughly follow the timeline 
around the original trilogy +7-10 years in the expanded universe. 
SWMUD consists of around 40 large planets and space stations, 
including Kashyyyk, Korriban, Myrkr, and Ryloth, as well as more 
well-known planets like Endor, Hoth, Tatooine, Naboo, and the 
Death Star.

We have 10 guilds: assassin, bounty hunter, diplomat, jedi, 
mercenary, merchant, pilot, scientist, slicer, and smuggler. 
Each guild comes with an average of 30 unique skills. Player
can choose three guilds for their character, with the option
of taking a fourth guild at higher levels. Assassin and BH are
forced-PK guilds, and Diplomats are forced non-PK.
 
There are 22 player-races, among them Bothan, Clawdite, Falleen,
Wookiee, and Zabrak. Each race comes with two unique race skills
and bonuses.
 
We have movable vehicles, ranged combat and an extensive space
combat system. You can also build your own ship that is stored
safely when you are not playing.
 
The mud has newsgroups for the players to post ideas and discuss
various things about the mud. Quests are not required for 
advancement, though a few will significantly help in advancement.
Help files are very extensive and are all available on the 
website. A special newbie simulator exists with several areas to
help new players get started.
 
Players can apply to become a coder after reaching levels 15/10/10.
