Apologies for being off-topic, but the domain name, "swg-empire.de", does the 'swg' part 'Star Wars Galaxies' by chance?

No. It was for a Star Wars roleplay but not a video game. It started life in the newsgroup de.rec.sf.starwars and I played the role of Emperor.
Ah, ok, nice! Was that the old D6 version, or the newer D20 one?
You dark person you! 😜

No set rules, just goofing around. When we got too annoying for the rest of the newsgroup we moved to a mailing list and met up in real life a bunch of times.
First time my father flew me there in a small sports plane. They had gotten the permission to greet me on the air field with a limousine blasting the Force Commander remix of the Imperial March and a black carpet. All the Jedi, Sith and in-betweens were waving Emperor-flags and greeted me as was befitting a man of my status.
Did I mention that I was 14 at the time and everyone else about 30?
Good times.
Sounds like good times, indeed.
