AN: I had this idea to write a RWBY Star Wars au since last year. I finally planned what I wanted to accomplish in this story and finally got around to writing it. This is just a prologue to establish the setting, no characters have been introduced yet, but it will focus on Team RWBY and their journey. Please enjoy, and May the fourth be with you (get it? haha).

A long time ago, in a past long before memory, the world of Remnant came into existence. It was a world that was out of balance and was constantly in a state of flux between light and dark.

The Force, thus called because it is the driving force that created all things, created Man, Faunus and Creatures of Grimm to bring balance to the world. Man and Faunus were the light that brought order, while Creatures of Grimm brought chaos.

But the Creatures of Grimm were stronger than Man, for it is easier to bring about chaos than order. But Man soon found the resources to aid them to bring balance to the world, dust.

Dust, a naturally occurring mineral that held vast amounts of Force energy, was used as a propellant by Man to fight against the Creatures of Grimm. In its raw form dust was unbalanced and unstable, only those sensitive to the Force could safely use it.

Those sensitive to the Force had more Force energy in themselves, and with training were able to surpass their human limits. They were stronger, faster, more agile, and also able to manipulate the Force in the objects around them. For this reason they were at the forefront of every battle against the Grimm.

Given much time Man was able to establish several safe havens, Kingdoms, on the world of Remnant. These safe havens boasted many luxuries and advancements; it was little wonder why many people soon chose to ignore the constant war against the Grimm.

But there were still those who dedicated their lives to protecting the people, and soon they established what is now known as the Jedi order. The Jedi were hunters and huntresses of Grimm who were always on guard, always vigilant for the next impending attack.

The Jedi soon established schools in the various Kingdoms, accepting only those sensitive to the Force, and those who passed the most rigorous of tests. Training from a young age, many hoped to become Jedi Knights, but only few reached such levels. And even fewer became Jedi Masters.

The Jedi fought to maintain balance in the world of Remnant, and they developed tools to help them combat the Creatures of Grimm. Forcesabers were melee weapons that were fused with dust crystals to enhance their durability and strength. Using dust proved effective, but they also had to be replenished constantly or they risked breaking during combat.

Over time the demand for dust grew, not only for fusing with forcesabers, but for providing energy for every day technology. Those with foresight began making a profit off of dust, and created monetary empires by selling mined dust.

Since mining for dust was a dangerous job, it soon fell to those who were less fortunate in life, to those who were willing to risk their lives for a living. Somehow most dust miners were Faunus. Once both Faunus and Man fought together as equals, Faunus soon became regarded as lesser beings.

Man took to calling these Faunus by the name of dust hounds, because they were deemed only good enough to look for and find dust. Dust hounds were trained and traded as if they were a commodity.

This inequality between Man and Faunus threw the Force out of balance, and it is up to a new generation of Jedi to bring balance to Force.
