The Galaxy
The galaxy is a tumultuous place, riddled with smugglers, bounty hunters and scoundrels of every ilk and creed. Among the filth and wretched thievery are the honorable men and women of all species who struggle to live in peace. And in the myriad jumble of stars and systems rages a Galactic Civil War, between the rag-tag Rebel Alliance desperately fighting for freedom of all species and the dreaded Galactic Empire, wherein Emperor Palpatine rules with an iron fist and The Dark Lord of The Sith, Darth Vader, protects his master's interests throughout the Galaxy.
The time and place
of the literary sim is right after the Empire Strikes Back, and around the same
time as the events in the "Shadows Of The Empire" novel. The year is 4
ABY (after the battle of Yavin).
All the rules of the Rebellion Era apply and Jedi characters are accepted on a
conditional basis and at the discretion of the GM.
Below are links to two different Galactic maps. Both are helpful in getting an
idea of where a planet is, even thought they are a bit different. Also included
is a directory of all known planetary systems, just click on Directory to
