The Jedi have rebelled against the Republic,
forcing Chancellor Palpatine to take emergency power unto himself
and creating the Empire to put down both the Separatists and
the rebellious Jedi.
Many clone troopers perished bravely to put down the Jedi.
Recruitment efforts have brought in a new breed of soldier.
These Stormtroopers are too few to police the entire Empire as yet,
leaving many areas in chaos and open to lawlessness.
In this time of strife a small group of scoundrels might find their way...
It is weeks after the formation of the Empire and the revelations that the Jedi were in league with the Separatists all along (at least, that's the official Imperial story). A crew of good-hearted scoundrels is trying to find their way, avoiding Imperial notice and seeing what good they can do.
This uses a modified form of Risus. All rules are provided in the game, and it's a super simple system, so if you haven't played Risus before you will come up to speed in short order.
