Flames of the Rebellion

This game is part of this year's 'May the 4th be with You' Mini-Con.

{ THIS SESSION WILL BE RECORDED }

THE GALAXY IS AT PEACE

The year is 5 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin), or the 14th year of the Galactic Empire. The Empire has spread through the galaxy, using fleets of ships and a growing army of Stormtroopers to patrol hyperspace trade and military routes to spread and maintain order beyond the core worlds.

And with this growing presence comes a pledge to invest in business and research to create a new era of wealth and security for loyal citizens, like those in the Doldur Sector.

Doldur's BlasTech program of harvesting prothium gas from the Dragonfly Nebula is a key investment by the Empire and will help ensure the Empire will remain strong and vigilant for centuries to come.

You are determined capable individuals caught up in the struggle for the future of the galaxy and connected to the Doldur System. Each player will represent one of the factions in the game: Imperial, Republic, and Rebel.

• IMPERIAL: You are a human agent of the Empire working for or with the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB). The ISB is a law enforcement and intelligence agency of the Galactic Empire charged with matters of internal state security and ensuring the loyalty of citizens to the Empire. It is led by ISB high command, while the ISB board oversaw certain sectors.

• REPUBLIC: The Old Republic continues to fade into the background of history as more representatives retire or pass their mantle on to the next generation of rich and powerful generations. You and your kind (human or non-human) remember the days before the Empire. You either know of or perhaps experienced the Clone Wars and the rise of the Galactic Empire. And now, here you are, part of a legacy pulled from the past, trying to remain relevant in an uncertain future, and striving to serve the people of your sector. Most times, you don’t know who to trust or what to sacrifice.

• REBEL: The growing strife between the former Republic and the Empire is an opportunity for people to rise up. You are a revolutionary (human or non-human), fighting for freedom from both aged feeble facades of the past and the tyranny of fascist rule at hand. It’s your opinion that the resources of the Doldur Sector should be used to inspire and provoke people to rise up for independence before the Empire cements its grip over the galaxy.
