[QUOTE="Random Axe, post: 5999731, member: 27853"] Am running a Star Wars campaign. At some point soon, the party will be traveling off to retrieve a starship that had been hidden secretly away on some mid-region world. While they are there, I'd like to have them find themselves embroiled in a local war. They might choose to get involved in one side or the other, or they might not, but they will be forced to get around unscathed in the midst of heavy (ground-based, small-arms, not stellar-scale) battles. So my question, in case they do wonder how this sprang up: What would be the reasons for a local or regional civil war to erupt suddenly on this one planet? What would be some issues that would cause local countries or clans to embattle and kick the snot out of each other? This is the Rise of the Empire time, one year after the declaration of the Emperor, and the world is light on local law enforcement (multiple criminal havens, smuggling activity perhaps), so the galactic civil war hasn't visited here yet (nor did the Clone Wars, incidentally), so what would it be to cause the locals to pick up guns and bombs and conduct their own personal version? (Real-Life examples welcome). [/QUOTE]
