Mission Log, Rancor Company, Cpt.Thereon: It's been four months since the battle of Endor, a lot of soldiers felt that with the fall of the Emperor and Darth Vader that the Empire would just lay down and roll over. It's doing anything but that, though it is fractured and weakened. High ranking Imperials form their own little enclaves, or surrender to the 'New Republic' in the hopes of a good deal. We had come to Taris under that pretense three months ago. Governor Arold Venuti promised us his Star Destroyer as well as control of the system, it didn't go to plan. We dropped out of hyperspace and as we entered orbit the trap was sprung, TIE Interceptors burst out of the skyscrapers as ships dropped out of hyperspace cutting of our escape.
We lost more than half our company that day. Ever since then we've been working on two goals, contact the New Republic and take out the Governor who did this to us. Though both have proven difficult, and it is unlikely we're going to get anywhere until we find a way to liberate the planet before we can contact our own forces and nobody has seen the Governor since before we got here.
The Imperials keep closing in on our location, the local populance so far seems largely unwilling to help with the exception of a couple of Rebel Cells but they need more time to be trained and equipped than we have. The New Republic is surely to send a scouting party sooner or later, but with all that's going on in the Galaxy it's hard to know when. Though we're getting desperate, and it doesn't take a genius to know that if things don't change soon that we're not going to make it off Taris alive. End Log.
Welcome:
Welcome to Star Wars - Desperation. As you may have read this Roleplay takes place on the planet Taris in the months following the Battle of Endor and for continuity sake we're going to be following the current Movie/Book/TV/Comicverse of Star Wars, as in we're not going to be following Legends. Though like the aforementioned continuity we can borrow from Legends so long as it doesn't cause any contradictions.
We're going to be playing characters on the world of Taris during the final days of the Galactic Civil War, Rebels (or members of the fledgling 'New Republic') were caught off guard in a trap and are now stuck on the surface, on the run and outnumbered hoping to gather more support so they can liberate Taris, find a way off world or contact the fleet. The Imperials are trying to hang on to everything they can, they know the Battle of Endor was lost but to give up now would likely result in dire consequences. These desperate times has made them crueler than ever.
Possible Questions:
Can I be a filthy Rebel New Republic person? Why yes, yes you can.
Can I be a filthy Imperial? Why yes, yes you can.
Can I be a filthy Jedi? Why no, no you cannot.
Can I be a filthy Force User of some description/ex-Jedi/ex-Inquisitor? Subject to sheet, which will be Pm'd to moi after sheets are done.
Sep, what are we going to be doing? This will be plot driven, but also partially sandbox (within the confines of Taris). For the New Republic it's going to be simpler than it is for the Imperials, or at least initially. The further down the rabbit hole you go, the more that will be revealed.
Sep, can I ask questions? Well you already did, but if you mean a question on the RP. Sure, go for it.
