Rodia To Rebellion

AGE OF REBELLION focuses on the action that takes place, during the time between Episode IV: A New Hope and Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, shortly after the destruction of the Death Star (0 ABY). In this era, the ragtag forces of the scattered Rebellion square off against the immense and extremely powerful Galactic Empire. It is a time when freedoms are drastically curtailed, injustice is pervasive, and those who do not obey the Empire are crushed beneath its heel. And yet, hope persists. Led by Princess Leia Organa, the Rebel Alliance fights to preserve what few freedoms remain and overthrow the shackles of Imperial rule. Small and scattered throughout the galaxy, the severely outnumbered Rebellion fights back the only way that it can—with subterfuge, espionage, ambushes, and rallying the spirits of freedom-loving beings throughout the galaxy. The Player Characters will have a chance to become some of the Rebellion's best and brightest. Their skills, abilities, and talents will be used to hit the Empire where it hurts the most, in hopes of regaining the freedoms and liberties lost with the rise of the Emperor. The challenges are enormous, and the effort required in overcoming them monumental, but the PCs are a cut above the rest. The PCs will find allies in and around the Rebellion— foot soldiers, commandos, pilots, gunners, medics, and spies— whom all toil, fight, cheer for victory, and sometimes die. The Rebel Alliance and its growing number of allies will serve as a backdrop for the Player Characters to shine and change the fate of the galaxy. No matter their backgrounds, skills, or methods, the Player Characters and their actions are vital to the war effort. The Savareen sector (R-16), the gateway to the Outer Rim, sits on the border of the Mid Rim and on the heart of the Corellian Run. Those that come in are taking their first steps into the true galactic outback, where the rule of law – and the hand of governments – is a little bit lighter, the technology is a little bit more suspect, and the danger is a little bit higher. EDGE OF FRONTIER The Savareen sector represents a blending of the cultures and responsibilities of the inner galactic planets with the wilderness of what lies beyond. While many planets, like Rodia and Christophsis, represent vast economic and social success, they had until recently, also remained independent of the goings-on of galactic politics. Despite being massively populous planets, they’re also bastions of dangerous wilds, with the jungles and swamps of Rodia home to fantastic beasts and the deeps of Christophsis home to untold creatures and sights. The Savareen sector also has planets like Nelvaan, places that represent the true wilderness of undiscovered worlds as well as how the galaxy interacts with them. Planets like this comprise much of the Savareen sector and the Outer Rim; worlds that few know about and more seek to discover. Players visiting the Savareen sector have a unique opportunity to explore new and isolated planets, planets that aren’t beholden to the destruction of the Galactic Civil War or the long arm of the Hutts. Although not a place of battle, by the time of the Galactic Civil War, Rodia had fallen under Imperial control. Many Rodians who opposed the occupation of their homeworld were recruited by the Alliance to Restore the Republic. This newly developing occupation combined with the emergence of several Rebel Sympathizers is quickly turning Rodia and the greater Savareen system into a place of a tightening Imperial grip and growing tension.
