EDIT: Scroll to the bottom to see my in-character hook for the plot.
Hey, all. Back on the old site, I ran a lot of Star Wars roleplays, and I'll kick off my first roleplay on the new site with another Star Wars roleplay.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with me and my roleplays, I was the GM of the Fires of Exaron roleplay, which ran through 2012 and ended successfully, much to my great pride. Fires of Exaron, taking place a few months prior to the Battle of Endor, told the story of a Rebel Special Forces officer, Major Patrick Rudder, who was stranded on the Imperial industrial world of Exaron after a mission to rescue a Bothan spy went south. With the help of a local resistance cell, Rudder was able to finally rescue the spy and make it off-world with valuable intelligence which stopped an Imperial Intelligence operation to assassinate the Alliance High Command simultaneously around the galaxy.
I would like to continue to explore that planet and story with a follow-up roleplay. This will take place on Exaron about six months after the Battle of Endor. New Republic forces have landed and begun a conventional war to seize the planet from the Empire. However, our roleplay will happen behind the scenes of the large-scale war, instead focusing on a secretive, diabolical scheme by the Empire and the efforts of the New Republic Intelligence and Special Forces to put a stop to it. This can go one of two ways:
1) All players are New Republic, and the Imperial side is played by myself as a sort of DM. The players will try to uncover the plot and put a stop to it before it is too late.
2) Players can play either side, and will face off against each other to protect the Imperial plot or put a stop to it.
Here is a New Republic intelligence report on the activities on the planet of Exaron:
