Leader: Emperor Sheev Palpatine “Darth Sidious”Alignment: Lawful Evil
Universe of Origin: Star Wars “Canon”
Starting Situation:Void - The Empire remained hidden above the Ragnarock array during the first week and only now after accepting that they are unable to contact the rest of the Empire, they must head to the surface to mine for supplies to hyperspace back to their own galaxy.
Background: Rising to power in the final years of the Republic, the Sith Lord Darth Sidious gradually secured the government under his control through the persona of Sheev Palpatine, the last Supreme Chancellor of the Republic. Through his machinations as both Sidious and Palpatine, the Sith were restored to a position of dominance amidst the fall of the Jedi Order and the marginalization of the Galactic Senate. Without the Jedi guardians of peace and justice to oppose him, Sidious brought an end to a thousand years of democracy; in its place he installed the absolute rule of himself as Galactic Emperor.
For over two decades, opposition to the Imperial regime was ruthlessly suppressed by the rapidly expanding armed forces of the Empire. Throughout most of the Empire's existence, the Imperial Senate stood within the Empire as the last surviving symbol of the Republic. With the completion of the Death Star, the Emperor felt confident enough to dissolve the body of galactic representatives while maintaining his control over the galaxy through a collective of sector governors and the overall fear that the new battle station would inspire. However, the growing resentment to Imperial rule gradually led to the rise of various resistance movements that ultimately culminated in the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. United by a common goal, the Alliance became a viable threat to the Empire after its successful theft of the Death Star plans and the station's subsequent destruction at the Battle of Yavin.
Now one year later, the Empire had finally completed the first Super Star Destroyer known as the Executor. While the Emperor, along with his dark apprentice Darth Vader and several other officers and generals, began to jump to hyperspace to reach the Imperial Shipyards of Fondor, an anomaly caused the main Capital ship and five other supporting Imperial II-class Star Destroyers to eventually find themselves emerge near the Ragnarock Array. Cut off from reinforcements and currently running out of fuel, the Empire must land on the planet’s surface to find more raw materials and Tibanna gas, if possible, to refuel their star destroyers and call for reinforcements.
Officers: Sith Lord Darth VaderAdmiral ThrawnGeneral Maximillian VeersVictory Conditions: TBA
Special Resources: One of the Empire’s most valuable resources is tibanna gas, which is an extremely valuable resource used in hyperdrives, starship and blaster weaponry, and used as a coolant around the gravito-active elements of repulsorlifts.
Order of Battle:Skirmish - When preparing to invade an unknown territory, the Empire often sends out Probe droids or a small platoon of stormtroopers to scout out the surrounding area. They also utilize scout troopers riding 74-Z speeder bikes to quickly scout out the area at a quick rate and reporting their findings back to central command. The empire will also deploy AT-STs (All Terrain Scout Transports) and sometimes TX-225A Occupier tanks to provide as stronger back up.
Battle - If the enemy has an extensive amount of forces backing them up, the Empire will send heavier weaponry to deal with them, such as the more powerful AT-ST Mark IIIs, HAVw A6 Juggernauts, and the mighty AT-AT walkers. More stormtroopers will also be placed on the ground with stronger weaponry, including rocket launchers, grenade launchers and even miniguns. If air support is being used by the opposing faction, TIE Fighters, TIE Strikers, and/or TIE Interceptors can be sent in to counter them. Darth Vader may appear on the battlefield alongside General Veers in his AT-AT.
Climax - Orbital bombardment can be called in as the Star Destroyers bombard the battlefield from high in the atmosphere. TIE Bombers can be called in to bomb the battlefield to flush out any remaining resistance. Elite Death Troopers can be deployed on the ground to snuff out the remaining resistance from the ground. Vader can also appear at this time for the same effect if the Death Troopers are busy or unavailable.
