Message: <blockquote data-quote="ForceUser" data-source="post: 48611" data-attributes="member: 2785">Thanks for the advice.Here's the background information I sent my players:"The campaign starts on the industrial planet of Rillivane in the Tygor system, during the era known as the Rise of the Empire. The Tygor system has three planets: Rillivane, an Earth-like world famous for building starships, Tygor, a gas giant with methane seas that are farmed for hyperdrive fuels, and Omulak, a small barren rocky planet mined for it's precious ores. The Tygor system is the chief rival of the Kuat system and it's famous driveyards and shipbuilding facilities. The Empire maintains a large presence in the Tygor system. An Imperial Governor administrates from a garrison in Tyco City, the largest urban area on Rillivane. Orbiting overhead, shipyards build many starships, including Imperial Star Destroyers. The population is generally content with Imperial rule, although some dissidents of late have caused great trouble by blowing up Imperial starships under construction and forcing tight security across the sector. As player characters you will all have some permanent connection to the Tygor system. Either you are a native, or you work in-system, or you have a good reason for being there. You might be an Imperial loyalist or a revolutionary. For the record, at this period in history the Empire is in good renown for bringing Order to the universe and the Rebel Alliance does not yet exist. The atrocities of the Luke Skywalker era are unheard of."___________________________________________________And here's the Star Wars introduction that kicks off the campaign:"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...STAR WARS: EMPIRE ASCENDINGTHE GALACTIC REPUBLIC is no more. CHANCELLOR PALPATINE, with the support of the Senate, has abolished the Republic in favor of an Empire, with himself elected by the Senate as Emperor. Armed with strong public support from hundreds of member worlds, Emperor Palpatine has unified the bickering worlds of the former Republic using the political, economic, and military tools at his disposal. Imperial Governors have been installed on most member worlds, along with Imperial Garrisons to safeguard the populations of those worlds. Imperial warships patrol the spacelanes, protecting free trade and the rights of legitimate spacefarers throughout the fledgling Empire. Universities have been opened that teach Imperial Law, and Arts, Education, and HOLONet have been infused with the spirit of a unified Imperial state. Yet all is not well. Rebellious dissidents, thought to be supported by traitorous Senators and Huttese criminals, mar the perfection of the Emperor's benevolent vision. These terrorists denounce Imperialism and embrace anarchy, spreading dissent through propaganda and lies. Their voice is small yet growing, bolstered by preposterous claims of injustices done to Imperial citizens across several Imperial worlds.Rillivane is one such world. Thought to harbor an infestation of anarchists and Jedi sympathizers, this once prosperous planet has come under siege by rebel terrorists, led by the imfamous Lars Needma, who seek to deprive their countrymen of the benefit of Imperial Law. The Emperor, in his wisdom, has sent one of his best officers, Commander Chek Darmoth, to apprehend the criminals and restore order to this troubled world..."</blockquote>
