Star Wars: Interbellum (OOC)

[Rox08]

(My last game didnt generate much interest- so any interest in a Star Wars game?)

Game rules used- Star Wars Saga Edition

Time period -The 19 year period between Ep III and IV (current year is 17 BBY)

4 players wanted, races and classes per the saga rules, droid characters allowed as well.

Level 2 point buy per rules

Updates a couple of times a week, more if possible.

Characters are sympathetic to the now defunct Republic, attempting to escape the ever growing grasp of the Empire, and if possible resist its rule.

Opening Crawl:

Star Wars : Interbellum​

The Republic is dead! Across the galaxy, darkness spreads as the EMPEROR PALPATINE extends his control. Imperial forces, led by DARTH VADER, search for the surviving Jedi. The ranks of the stormtroopers begin to swell as systems are occupied and dissent is crushed. Despite this, many remain dedicated to the old ideals of the Republic and attempt to deal with the new order.

Meanwhile, on the peaceful planet of Alderaan, a group of heroes answer a call to action from Viceroy Organa to perform a mission of mercy......​

A bit more info-

I am myself nothing more than a casual fan of Star Wars. I have just a passing acquaintance with the Expanded Universe and a bit more with the myriad of SW video games. So for game purposes, the only thing "Canon" is what is contained in the movies and what we ourselves create. I know the EU backstory is pretty pervasive and can bleed a bit into the mix so I'm flexible.

The "interwar" period should allow for intrigue and adventure. Source material can be used from both sets of films, making it accessible to all. The Empire makes for the best villians this side of Nazis and stomping stormtroopers is always fun. Sith assassins, bounty hunters, and starship battles. And no major characters from the movies need interfere, so the PC's are the heroes.

And we can use this time period before Mr Lucas gets out his live action TV series.

Interested?

This looks like fun.

I think playing a Seperatist Mercenary who saw the first atrocities of the empire first-hand might be a good fit. He sees the Empire as proof he was on the right side, and now he's looking for someone to sign up with to help him keep up the fight. He might also have some interest in bounty hunting.

Zane Fey'lin, Bothan Scout 1/Soldier 1. I think I'll fight with a Force Pike, but carry a blaster pistol and grenades around as well.

Definetly. I'll come up with a consept ASAP.

 

[Blackrat]

Once again I'm stuck with head full of consepts and I can't pick just one. A mandalorian warrior, a wookiee warrior, a trandoshan warrior, a gunga warrior . Well at least I managed to pick a class . Although I love lightsabers I think I can live without one and not go with jedi this time. I play few already so I want to try something else.

Oh and because you are not familiar with the expanded universe you might like to check wookieepedia. If for nothing else, then to reap ideas from.

 

[Shayuri]

Hmm. Post Republic, pre-Empire.

Would a force-sensitive be too weird? They'd definitely have a good reason to flee the Empire and support the Republic.

 

[Walking Dad]

I'm also interested in a force sensitive character. A Jensaarai. Unsure about race.
Human, Cerean, Tandroshan or Zabrak.

 

[Blackrat]

Are you planning on giving us a ship or do we get around with someone else flying? If you are, I could take up the pilot role...

 

[Rox08]

A few answers- 25 point buy , 21 if a droid character

Max gold, max hp at level 2

You shall have a ship at your disposal.

Forse sensetive/ Jedi chars are fine. The game is set two years after the foundation of the Empire- while Jedi are hunted beings, things are in flux. Alderaan has become an unofficial gathering place for like minded people clusted around Bail Organa. The "movement" is still vestigal and covert and Alderaan is still a safe haven.
