Star Wars MUSH was created in May 1991 and made publicly available by January of 1992. The game's database was accidentally destroyed on April 15, 1994, leading to a game split that resulted in the creation of two other prominent Star Wars-themed MUSHes, Star Wars MUSH 2: A New Threat, later From the Ashes, and Star Wars MUSH 3: Minos Cluster, which went on to become Unsung Heroes, although these two MUSHes were shutdown years later.

In-Game History
The game's story took off after the end of Return of the Jedi. Since the game was started in 1991, it predates most of the Star Wars Expanded Universe and thus does not follow the set storyline licensed by Lucasfilms, although it does draw some elements from Timothy Zahn's popular Thrawn Trilogy and the various West End Games sourcebooks. Lucasfilm Limited' is an American Film production company founded by George Lucas in 1971, based in San Francisco California Timothy Zahn (born September 1, 1951) is a writer of Science fiction short stories and novels The Thrawn trilogy, also known as the Heir to the Empire trilogy, is a series of best-selling Novels written by Timothy Zahn.

Historical Significance
SW1 created or popularized several major concepts within the MU* community. Not the least of these was the MUSH's Judge system, a board of players trained and authorized to respond on-call to roleplay disputes, and DarrienSpace, possibly the first functional starship and space system for MU*s that didn't require any use of the C programming language to install or maintain. A space system, in most cases is a hardcode or softcode system for a game server in some cases a patch that may be added to the game's hardcode DarrienSpace lent traits to several later engines.
Several of SW1's other coded systems and certain features of its appearance have also become standards within the global MU* community. MU* is a shorthand to refer collectively to multi-user environments known variously as Multi-User Dungeon / Dimension / Domain ( MUD) Multi-User Shared An unusual example of this is an elevator designed for the game -- the extremely short snippet of code has been adapted for several purposes across MU*space, from trains to conveyor belts.
