[Indent][Indent][Indent][Indent][Indent][Indent][color=fff200]Following the Rebel Alliance's victory at the Battle of Endor and the death of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, riots and uprisings took place on a multitude of Imperial-held worlds, as the news spread across the galaxy. Even Palpatine's homeworld of Naboo could not escape a liberation struggle. On Coruscant, billions revelled in their newfound freedom, and riots broke out from the non-Human-dominated sectors in which all Imperial patrols were attacked in the streets. Statues of Palpatine were toppled and other Imperial symbols were desecrated by those non-human minorities that had been savagely oppressed.

In the midst of all the celebrating and rioting, Imperial authorities ordered a massive crackdown on the rebellious elements in the city-planet's population and gave full power to the local military force to end the uprising and restore order to the system. The military retaliation was horrendous and the death-tolls rose as the Empire struck down the insurrectionists and brought the populace back under its control. Following this, control over Coruscant was again restored.

However, Emperor Palpatine's death provoked a crisis of leadership within the Empire: Palpatine had never laid down a succession plan, and various individuals and organisations alike now lock eyes onto the tasty prize that is the Imperial throne. A temporary Ruling Council was established, but held little real power. Wary of further Rebel strikes against key targets, the Ruling Council adopted a fortress world strategy, fortifying key systems. This left the Rebellion, swiftly reconstituted as the Alliance of Free Planets, largely unopposed. Additionally, this defensive strategy caused many of the Empire's most ambitious Moffs and governors to think only of the safety of their homeworlds and power bases, causing them to de facto break with the Ruling Council and become the first ‘warlords’.

Did the Rebels truly defeat Palpatine’s Empire at the Battle of Endor? Remnants of the Empire surely remain. What fate awaits the disintegrated Galaxy now, with a fledgling Alliance trying to maintain order? What of the secrets still uncovered?[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent]


[h3][B][color=fff200]OOC information:[/color][/B][/h3]

This is a free-form story. Though there will be some form of over-arching tale, or a series of 'planned' events, participants are encouraged to write their own opus. The Star Wars universe is hugely diverse, and this makes for a lot of potential characters. Do you want to be a Moff? Go for it. Rather play a cock-sure smuggler? Right on. A pilot? An officer? A screaming fuzzball? A scruffy-looking nerf-herder? Sure. Force and sabre wielding freaks are fair game, just provide a plausible backstory true to the setting.
