A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
Dark Times

The Republic is all but gone.  The Empire and self-proclaimed Emperor Palpatine with his sinister apprentice, Darth Vadar, and a newly minted armada of Star Destroyers, symbolizing the might and terror of the New Order, stretched across the Galaxy claiming world after world, system after system in the name of the Galactic Empire.  Jedi that survived Order 66 are scattered throughout the Galaxy mostly hiding, but being hunted down ruthlessly by Darth Vadar and his minions.

For over a decade the denizens of the Galaxy, especially the Outer Rim in increasing frequency, have been slowly suppressed by the crushing tyranny and human-centric policies of the Empire.  The Senate a mere shell of it's former self still exists, but for how much longer as the Emperor grabs and gains more power with the passing years.  Pockets of resistance are starting to blip on the Empire's radar, no longer just a nuisance, but will they be able to unite as a unified front against the oppression of the Empire?

Ironically under the mounting oppression of the Imperial rule and influence, Pirates and Criminals are thriving.  These are truly Dark Times for all in the Galaxy...



OOC:

Game year is 18 5 BBY.

The Rebel Alliance is not yet formed.  However, pockets of resistance are popping up all the time, but so are Imperials.

Any remaining Jedi are hunted vigorously. Many are already dead, but some remain and try in their own little ways to keep the Jedi tradition alive.

General theme for PCs should be those ready to fight the Empire.

Currently the PCs have a ship of their own (sort of) called "The Reaper" - a Dynamic Class Freighter that was mostly hauling agricultural produce and supplies from the planet Enarc under subsidiary AgroTrans of the Tagge Company (TaggeCo).
