Whilst the Galactic Empire remains at its peak control over the Galaxy, it brings with it a parallel progression of the Galactic Civil War. The Rebel Alliance, desperate to see the Empire crumble for their war-crimes that spread on an unimaginable scale, fight on-wards to see their cause complete, at whatever the cost. So when Bothan Spies receive information about a new Star Destroyer being developed, it would be no surprise that the Rebel Alliance would want to retrieve and exploit as much information on it to the best of their ability.
A Rebel Alliance espionage team, consisting of 7 able fighters under the name of Grim Seven, were deployed on Tatooine to gather as much information as possible, and weren't surprised about how long it took to piece together the information on the plan's development location. The lengthy time had paid off, and the team sent themselves once again to a mid-rim planet under the name of Housun, a mix between urbanised landscapes to dense forests and mountains secretly under the control of an Imperial Fleet. Due to it being controlled via incognito standards, a small team was predicted to be able in completing a retrieval mission. Those predictions were wrong.
A suspected traitor amongst the ranks of the Rebel Alliance spouted information of the Rebel's plans to steal the documents and potentially sabotage the facility, resulting in the team seemingly disappearing from existence within an instant. No word came through of their whereabouts, or current status, and remained like such for days to come.
But after a month of confusion and unanswered questions, a file began to be sent to a Rebel General's personal databank. Before the file was completely sent, its remainder data was cancelled, making the file corrupted. After opening the file, the Rebel Alliance were greeted by a holographic message from Jy' Naheem, one of the members of Grim Seven, that began to spout out the success of the mission. However, due to the file's corruption, the message was cut off relatively early through its playback, and key points were seemingly still unanswered; but this provided the Rebel Alliance with a place to start.
Knowing that the plans could still potentially be within their own hands, the Alliance began to become determined towards retrieving the plans, and potentially the original team if possible. Whether or not the information was still correct was uncertain, and a gamble between only failure and victory was juggled in the hands of the Council. After debates ended, a platoon of 54 Rebel Fighters were gathered in preparation for beginning a search for these plans, beginning with a dangerous place to start...

So, this is basically an idea around the Rebel's continuing their data-gathering stage. I guess it is very similar to that of Episode IV and Rogue One, but in a non-canon way. From that, there won't be any major characters from the actual canon series taking place in this idea. To gather a even more basic description, the players would take up a role of one of the Rebels from this platoon in their attempts to go from a standard retrieval mission to a full-scale battle. That means the action would potentially increase overtime with more and more tension building up as many mistakes are made.
Instead of constant success, the theme is constant defeat, seeing as the regular series usually ends with a major victory for the Alliance (If you don't count the expanded universe). I'm not planning on focusing it on this single planet, as the group'll become mislead or forced to retreat, but eventual loops will make them seem as if they are running in circles around an unwinnable fight. Basically, it's showing that hope isn't always going to beat an immense military superpower.
I want to focus this more on Character narration than star wars battles as such, but a nice blend between the two will hopefully keep it interesting if it does succeed. All of this is still, clearly, under development and discussion, and if those who are interested have any ideas to improve upon this basic one please feel free to share them. Same goes for questions and queries about the topic.
