Premise
Eleven years have passed since the Treaty of Coruscant was signed, since the Cold War began. Tension between the Republic and the Empire is running high. The uneasy truce established by the Treaty of Coruscant is quickly tearing apart at the seams, and a return to all-out war has begun in all but official terms. A new generation of heroes, both light and dark, emerges to face the difficulties of these chaotic times, and fight for the fate of the galaxy in this very desperate age.
Style of play
Overall, the game is story-driven, with a balance of combat and social interaction. Rules adherence is fast and loose, and there is heavy use of house rules.
The characters are presented with challenges and opportunities to develop, both individually and as a group. Players are able to participate as available and interested, with an average of four (4) or five (5) active players for live sessions
Off-screen episodes (online mini-sessions) are available for players who want to be involved in the campaign but may be unable to physically attend or wish to follow character-specific plot threads.
