The Infinite Empire is a Facebook based roleplaying group that the Jedi vs Sith Facebook Application's Universe section was directly derived from. The IE is a group-based RPG that is set in the same time period as the Knights of the Old Republic metaseries and has been in operation since December 2006, with it's core groups having been created in 2005. Many of the original characters in the IE were created as far back as 2003. On February 1, 2009 the Infinite Empire moved off of Facebook to a ProBoards forum after, like JvS, finding Facebook to be an inadequate medium for roleplaying.
