[QUOTE="GreenTengu, post: 8033259, member: 6777454"] Both. And I am not sure a "yaaactually, in the Star Wars Extended Universe..." comment given that the franchise is centered on movies and in the movies we can see that the Empire and Rebellion are both led and made up of mostly humans. The Imperium was made up of humans with British accents and the Rebellion was made up of humans with American accents. And I recall the Empire being explicitly anti-non-human in all the books I read growing up. And even if it weren't, it is very much besides the point because if there had been a greater array of races on both sides, it would just further drive home the point. Which would be better for the next D&D setting A) The races are still distinct factions in and of themselves, they just all have a mix of positive and negative traits that makes it difficult, but not impossible, for everyone to get along so everyone is often at war as a result. But no one is the out-and-out "the bad guys" in all imaginable ways. B) All races are just mixed up together and the real conflict is between two political factons, let that be LE vs. CG or LG vs. CE, and any race could imaginably belong to either faction. [/QUOTE]
