"The SAGRecreation group in particular was highly adept at identifying potential role models within various spheres of sport and culture who might appeal to younger citizens."
―Beaumont Kin, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire[1]

SAGRecreation was a group within the Galactic Empire's Sub-Adult Group, which was a part of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order's Coalition for Progress. The group was part of Imperial efforts to recruit high-profile figures to help promote the Empire's message and was highly adept at identifying role models that might appeal to younger citizens from within the spheres of sport and culture. This included the recruitment of grav-ball stars as examples of what physical prowess and Imperial loyalty could mean, with recruitment messages from popular players accompanying tournament broadcasts. The historian Beaumont Kin mentioned SAGRecreation in[1] his[2] book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire[1] in 35 ABY.[3]

Behind the scenes

In the current Star Wars canon, SAGRecreation was mentioned in the 2024 reference book Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, which was written by Dr. Chris Kempshall.[1] The group originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it was first mentioned in the Imperial Sourcebook, a 1989 supplement for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game written by Greg Gorden and published by West End Games.[4]

  3. ↑ Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire states that thirty years have passed since the end of the Galactic Civil War and months have passed since the Battle of Exegol. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the end of the war to 5 ABY and the Battle of Exegol to 35 ABY, the in-universe The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire must have been published in 35 ABY.
