Welcome to Star Wars: Empire Asuender. This game will be set in the Star Wars universe at 5 ABY, a year after the Battle of Endor. The Rebellion is still officially becoming the New Republic, a process slowed by politics and the ongoing war with the Galactic Empire. The Emperor and his enforcer, Darth Vader, have either retreated into seclusion, or died, depending on the news you choose to believe. Whatever the reason for their absence, it has decentralized Imperial leadership, leading to a fractured Galactic Empire fighting the Rebels and their New Republic as divided pieces, instead of a powerful unified front.

At the highest levels of the Empire, the death of the Emperor and Darth Vader are as certain as the destruction of the second Death Star. The established plan of Imperial rule has crumbled, and it is left to those who remain to rethink and reengage in order to save the galactic order created under the guiding hand of the Galactic Empire. Though a Ruling Council has been created to fill the vacuum, most of it's members fail to agree on what exactly needs to be next, let alone how to do it. Some prefer attacking, others defending, others still retreating and rebuilding into unknown sectors of space. Recently the membership of the Ruling Council was cut in half (though added the mysterious 'Emperor's Hand' to its ranks) and a strategy declared: a fortress world strategy, fortifying key systems. This has led 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.'

While such disarray on the Imperial side has gifted the Rebels and their New Republic with a perfect opportunity, the New Republic Senate can't seem to do anything about it, or anything at all. Political gridlock has ground any momentum the Rebel Alliance had going after the Battle of Endor to a complete stop, and not even Mon Montha or Princess Leia seem capable of getting it going yet despite their best efforts--though it hasn't stopped them being determined they are on the right path and just need a little more time. Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker has disappeared from the fray, apparently chasing ghosts of the broken Jedi Order even as some of those 'ghosts' chase him right back. Han Solo and Chewbacca have begun gathering friends from within the former-Rebels/current-New Republic and are building a Resistance with the intention to liberate G5-623; otherwise known by it's native name, Kashyyyk.

I'll remake my statement here, lol.

Depends on my work load, but probably count me in.

I assume we aint all a team, right? I might need some clarification on our roles, or do we literally assume control of a planet if we see fit?

<Snipped quote by POOHEAD189>


It's up to you. Be a droid dependent on someone. Be a Moff in charge of a system. Be a smuggler in charge of their ship. Be....as big or small a role as you want to be. It's entirely up to you; but the bigger the role you assume the easier it is to interact and shape the universe. Although even small roles can shape the universe in big ways if you're creative and proactive.

Up to the player. It's a universe, with endless possibilities filled with high quality RPers and writing.

woo.

Name: Moff Vigor "Vig" Vespellian

Age: 48

Species: Human

Gender: Male

Homeworld: Ank Kit'aar

Appearance: Vig is skinny and tall -- gaunt and gangly are two words that could be used to describe his physique -- he has black hair that is receding, forming a widow's peak on the top of his forehead, and he has a prominent chin and long roman nose, and he has warm brown eyes.

Major Skills: Intelligence, surveillance, diplomacy, charisma.

Force Sensitive: No

Biography:

Born on Ank Kit'aar, Vigor Vespellian was the bastard child of a very prominent merchant. While Vig was born into poverty and hardship, his father and siblings thrived. The old man used his power and influence to become a high-ranking diplomat and statesman. He would gain the title of premiere, head of the planet's government. Vig, meanwhile, provided for his mother and himself by becoming a thief. When he was sixteen, Vig was arrested for robbery. On Ank Kit'aar, the punishment for theft was either death or exile. He chose exile and said goodbye to his homeworld, and his mother. The day his shuttle left was the first and only time he met his father, who only watched from afar as he disappeared into the sky.

The youngster found work in asteroid mines, grueling labor that went on for 14 to 16 hours a day. It was on the asteroid that he heard about the new war between the Republic and the CIS. Although not a clone, Vig applied for service as an engineer and was given a test. His test showed him to be a poor candidate for engineering, but he excelled in far more subtler arts. Vig received an officer's commission with the Republic Intelligence Service covertly, and overtly he was placed on the staff of a Courscant diplomat.

Throughout the clone wars, Vig helped establish intelligence networks through the mid-rim and outer-rim territories. These networks proved to be intelligence goldmines and help the Republic in the struggle. For his hard work, Vig swiftly rose through the ranks of the service achieving the rank of Colonel in the waning days of the war.

As the war ended and the Republic gave way to the Empire, Vig's role changed. He was now head of investigations for the Imperial Security Bureau, a job that required him to deal with the nastiest secrets of the Empire's greatest people. He gained a reputation throughout the galaxy as a man who knew where the bodies were buried. Even Emperor Palpatine relied on Vig's dossiers and files for political leverage against both allies and enemies. For his loyalty and service to the Empire, Vig was granted the title of Moff and became governor Druess Sector, a piece of space that includes his old homeworld. Vig's first act as Moff was to evict his father's family from the house they grew up in and demolish it, a brand new and opulent moff's manor built atop of the ruins of the old home.

Palpatine is now dead and Vig serves on Imperial Ruling Council. Through his connections with the ISB, his secret files, and his own personal intelligence operatives through the galaxy, Vig wields considerable influence and seeks to take the place of the fallen Emperor.

Thank you! I haven't decided what side she'll commit to or whether she'll go back to starpiloting or pursue more covert affairs.

You'll have to change his current mission, as it's widely believed the Jedi are dead and gone, so I don't see any crime lords paying anyone to go hunt any down. Unless he's supposed to go hunt down Luke Skywalker. In which case......good luck.
