NEW ERA PROPOSAL: ERA OF THE FORGOTTEN

would like to propose a new era for SWGOH called Era of the Forgotten, focused on characters defined by loss, exile, sacrifice, and shifting loyalties — those who were overlooked, left behind, or existed between sides, yet shaped the galaxy in subtle but powerful ways. This era would emphasize conditional synergies, story-driven mechanics, and relationships that evolve during battle.

Cobb Vanth — Marshal of Mos Pelgo

• Bridges Scoundrels and Mandalorians without being a Mandalorian himself.
• Could feature a basic titled “Only One of Us Is Walking Out” that calls a Beskar-armoured Mandalorian ally to assist, with Armour Plating as a shared defensive effect.
• Represents law without allegiance and expands Mandalorian teams in a story-driven way.

Meetra Surik — The Jedi Exile

• Attrition-based Jedi / Old Republic leader.
• Ability names include: Basic “Jedi Exile”, Special 1 “Severed Connections”, Special 2 “Lead the Charge”.
• Stronger as allies fall, directly counters Sith, and embodies a Jedi defined by absence and survival.

Geonosian Zombie

• PvE-focused disruptive tank.
• Buff overload triggers “Blinded by Light,” fitting The Clone Wars canon.
• Reinforces Geonosian hive mechanics while remaining challenging and unpredictable.

Anakin Skywalker (Podrace)

• Conditional hybrid unit: gains Scoundrel tag if all allies are Light Side, Jedi, or Scoundrel.
• Bridges his street-survival background with Jedi destiny and could introduce event-based gameplay like Podracing.

Young Boba Fett & Jango Fett’s Slave I

• Features health-sharing and survival mechanics that tell the story of Jango’s sacrifice for Boba.
• The first time Young Boba would be defeated, Jango sacrifices himself to revive him, creating risk and opportunity for recovery.

Optional Additions:

• Agent Kallus: begins as anti-Zeb, gradually supports him mid-battle, representing internal conflict.
• Crosshair: counter to Bad Batch but unintentionally supports them, reflecting fractured loyalty.

Why this era works:

• Focuses on relationships and story over raw stats.
• Encourages mixed-faction squads and creative team-building.
• Expands the game horizontally, giving long-requested characters meaningful mechanics.

This era is not about galactic legends. It is about the ones history almost left behind.
