Star Wars: Rise of the Rebellion
"Rise of the Rebellion: A Star Wars Story" is a Star Wars Saga Edition campaign set three years before the films Rogue One and Episode IV, A New Hope. At this time the galaxy is riddled with fear of the powerful and autocratic Galactic Empire and there seems to be little that many people can do but try to survive the oppression they experience. In some sectors resistance is growing however and leaders such as Mon Mothma and Bail Organa are quietly building opposition to the Emperor's agents and forces, though the Alliance to Restore the Republic has not yet been formed.
Episode I of our story will bring the players together as they seek the aid of the organisation known as the Hidden Path, or "the Path" for short, either fleeing the repression of the Galactic Empire or simply seeking to join the Rebellion. The PCs should therefore be people who wish to active resist the Empire and are looking to join the rebels. My intention for Episode II of the campaign onwards is to form the PCs into a special operations team who are sent on missions against the Empire.
In terms of a game system I will be using Star Wars Saga Edition as all of those rules are available online. Characters will begin Episode I at level 6 and will then, after a short period of downtime, be bumped to level 8 when they are formed into an active special operations unit.
