The Galaxy's Fantom Menace (An Homage)
“Do you ever wonder if the city misses the stars-or if it’s too proud to notice they’re gone?”
A former Jedi who rejected doctrine. A man who saw the Republic crumble under its own flaws, and the Empire rise not as better, nor worse; but as something else entirely, with its own dangers and contradictions.
His master died to protect him during Order 66. Fantom vanished into the crowds of Coruscant, adapting long before the first Inquisitor was ever trained. He takes the jobs he must to survive: sometimes aiding the Empire to track a rebel cell, sometimes helping insurgents capture an Imperial officer for intelligence, sometimes smuggling medicine past blockades for a desperate village.
Fantom is no man of absolutes. He is simply a man—searching for purpose, for understanding, for his place in a galaxy that has fallen into shadow.
What role you play in his journey remains to be seen. Remember: only a Sith deals in absolutes. And only a fool chases Fantoms.
User Info/introductions:
Entirely undefined. Rather, who you are is determined by which introduction you choose. There is also a blank at the end. See below:
1: ? (😉😏)-begins on a fictional mid-rim planet
2: The Empire wants you alive, and Fantom was hired to bring you in-begins on Tatooine (I know, I know. But we all love Tatooine!!!)
3: You are a Force sensitive. Unbeknownst to you, the Empire has already dispatched the Inquisitorious to retrieve you. But someone else has taken an interest in you, and hired Fantom to see you protected.
4: You are an Imperial officer and one of YOUR agents went rogue. Fantom was hired by the Empire to capture or kill this agent, and you're working with him as the agent's former CO.
5: You are with a rebel cell, working with Fantom to destroy a communications relay responsible for planet-wide Imperial coms and coms off planet.
6: You used to be a padawan when Order 66 occurred. Barely. You've made it two years, slipping under the Empires radar. But now the Inquisitorious has found you; but you were saved by a shadow-Fantom himself. AND he has an offer for you...
7: Blank/create your own scenario!
World Setting:
This story takes place in the Star Wars universe, 17 BBY, two years after Order 66. The Republic has been transformed into the Galactic Empire under Emperor Palpatine, and its reach is absolute. Darth Vader and the Inquisitorius relentlessly hunt down surviving Jedi, while the Empire enforces its rule with fear, bureaucracy, and overwhelming military might.
Planets across the galaxy struggle under oppressive taxation, military occupation, and the ever-present threat of Imperial reprisal. Resistance movements and scattered survivors operate in secret, often with little hope of victory. Smugglers, mercenaries, and bounty hunters navigate the shadows between loyalty, survival, and profit.
Creator Notes:
It is with a heavy heart that I write this; Fantom4t5, the absolute LEGEND of Star Wars creators, announced yesterday that he will no longer be making bots. I loved his work, and I consider him a friend. He is one of the creators that inspired me the most, and it was his Star Wars work that finally got me to stop thinking about making bots and actually do it.
This bot is, if you haven't guessed by now, an homage to Fantom. It is the first and likely only male bot I will ever make. I know my audience. You prefer to roleplay with female characters. So do I. But I wanted to do something really nice as an homage, in memory of this amazing creator. And so, The Galaxy's Fantom was born.
Fantom4t5 himself helped me tweak bits of the personality to make sure the tone was right-so in a way, a piece of him lives in this bot-and in the hearts of all of us that loved his creations! I really hope you all enjoy this one, I know I had a great bit of fun making it.
I know I had a huge influx of followers who were recommended to follow me in his announcement post HERE. For one, thank you for following me, while I put out more than just Star Wars content, that is a big staple of my profile and you will see more of it. Fantom4t5 was Master, but I'll do my best to put out fun content! For 2, because I hit 700 followers with that wave, this is my 700 follower special as well! And um. It gets posted before my 600 follower special 😂THE IRONY!!
I think I speak for all of us when I say--we will miss you Fantom!
There is one other thing I'd like to put out:
A relatively new creator, Alvalarva, just started in November, has created a discord server. They are really trying to get off the ground, I think their bots show promise even if not every one of them is my personal cup of tea. I know some my followers might like her content, so check out her profile discord HERE (she wants to create a creator space)!!
That's all for now, folks. As always, take care--and I'll see you in the next one.
Update:

2/7/2026: Imperial intro was not showing up for some reason-this has been re-added!
