Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mustrum_Ridcully" data-source="post: 3626318" data-attributes="member: 710">It is possible that some outlying sectors were able to build up enough defenses to withstand most strikes - if the Empire really focused its Resources on these sectors, it would probably prevail, but at the risk of losing other regions. Instead, the Empire targets only the more daring or important planets and conquers or obliterates them. The rest will be done with the Death Star - once this power is on the table, no enemy force would attempt resisting the Empire, as just one lucky blow will destroy a whole planet. (Or so the Emperor believed. He didn't know of the tiny but critical weak spot in the construction). It's also possible that one of the goals of the characters is providing several types of support to the rebels - locate hidden bases, make contact on mostly ignored worlds to make new allies or get access to vital resources. Protect politicians supporting the Rebellion, secretly place allies in important imperial positions. The Imperial Senate might be useful here - it was only disbanded during the finalization of the Death Star project. Also several Imperial Governors / Moffs and Warlords could actually be made friendly towards the Rebellion or the Republic, or they might have important ad visors or bureaucrats secretly working for the Rebellion (we can't stop the slavery of this planet, but we can limit the harshness)The activities of the heroic characters are certainly less open then we're used to, but it could work. And there are also some great projects that the characters can be involved in - Sabotaging Stardestroyer production facilities, destroying or stealing TIE prototypes, sabotaging the Clone facilities for Clone Troopers or stop the Senate support for these facilities (EU implies that Clones proved to be unstable, but the movie cannon never explains why the Stormtroopers don't seem to be "super-clones" any more.). The destruction of a Super Star Destroyer might be a acceptable end of a Campaign (and is not against the movie canon, and probably only a stretch of the EU canon).</blockquote>
