Discussion - SW Saga Edition.
Having bought the Star Wars Saga Edition book last weekend, I'm thinking about running a game. An Imperial game. One, because Stormtroopers are cool. And two, because I like the potential tension inherent in playing a member of the Imperial Forces. In the early days, the Imperial New Order would have been very much presented (and perhaps welcomed as) as a solution to the corruption, inefficiency and paralysis of the Republic. I'm not looking for a group of characters whose sole response to any problem is to shout "Die rebel scum!" and start shooting. I'd like a little more depth than that.
The game will be set on Tantooine some time before the beginning of 'A New Hope'. It won't however, have any great connection to the events of the movies. Indeed, it may not even follow the canon that closely. I'm a fan of Star Wars, but not a fan boy. I don't know much more about the setting than that which is in the movies. I've chosen this time and place because 'A New Hope' is my favourite movie, and Tantooine is the planet I'm most familiar with.
The characters will be members of the Imperial Garrison on Tantooine. They will be fairly new, low ranking individuals, and will form a squad of some description. The exact nature of the squad will depend on what follows.
