9 years after the end of the clone wars the Empire is well established. It has been hard at work building on the infrastructure of the republic and stretching out far and beyond central space to claim the vast resources in the outer systems. Slavery, extortion and bloodshed have been the main employs of its success. Oppression is everywhere as the subjugated people scramble to fill impossible orders and satiate the Empire’s lust for material and labour for its growing fleets.
Some already have great cause to hate the Empire, and slowly their temperance is being bent far beyond its capacity. Soon it will snap.
I have seen this, or, I have felt it, in the life energy that connects us all. I do not know how many of my brethren are left, but I suspect they are very few. The Force however, cannot be quelled in the bodies of living beings by simply eliminating bloodlines. No, it resurfaces for there must always be balance to it. It is time to look for others, and gather those who have not the power, but the wish to protect it. The will to resist lies in every one of those crushed under the weight of our new Empire all it needs…is a spark.

Overview
This story is set 10 years before Luke Skywalker leaves his home on Tatooine to begin his training as a Jedi. The Empire has full control of most central systems and is imposing its will with an iron fist. You may play as either a promising rebel or one of the empire’s many soldiers. There will be a total of three Jedi slots, available only by application. The Jedi will start as undiscovered and mostly unknowing of their gifts. You can play any canon species and may create your own if you wish, though I must approve the species first. I encourage contributions to the plot, I'd like to see each character get his or her own arc within the main story. Please read through the rules before submitting a CS.
Corellia, 10BBY. An open square by one of the famous Corellian shipyards. In the dry docks the skeleton of an Imperial star destroyer can be seen, painting an intimidating background for the elevated platform at the square’s edge. Many species mill about in the open, some browsing stalls lining the buildings, others in heated conversation, more ducking their heads and hurrying on their way, but most had turned to the platform, their faces grimly expectant. One side of the platform is a solid durasteel wall, blaster scorch marks and traces of blood pepper the surface. This is an execution wall, set and waiting for more lives…
