A blinding flash, a brilliant light, and then you arrive in a galaxy far, far away. The tyrannical Galactic Empire, headed by former Republic Chancellor and Sith Lord Sheev Palpatine, controls the known universe with an iron fist. Enforced by his army of Imperial Stormtroopers, the hunters of the mystic known as the Inquisitors, and his black right hand known only as "Darth Vader," the traitorous Darth Sidious has attained unlimited power, backed by a universal "Force", an energy that binds all life together.
You have arrived here, or perhaps have lived here for some time, with one goal in mind. Free the Galaxy. On your journey, you will face not just the Empire, but random encounters across the multiverse, your personal demons, and even yourselves. Between bouts, you may relax and strategize, but your goal shall remain the same.
Palpatine and Darth Vader must be removed, killed, erased, or impeached. Tyranny cannot survive in this blackest sea.
That description makes it sound a lot more serious than I'm sure it will be. Welcome to yet another RPG by me! In this game, you will be playing as a set of characters from across established franchises, and fighting and roleplaying across the Star Wars galaxy in an attempt to defeat the entire Galactic Empire!

When you shake away your mental cobwebs and first lay eyes on your new traveling party, your mission objective and basic information dragged into your brain like a body bag dragged to a hearse, you take a moment to look over them all. In total, six strangers now stand as one unit: a charismatic Rebel general and the only native to this galaxy, a Machine designed to drain blood from the living, a tall and strong alien trophy hunter armed to the gills with weaponry, a GI Jarhead with a big gun and his pyromaniacal compadre, and an assassin with the ability to freeze.
The environment you find yourself in is a sealed, oxygen rich dome. The outside world is a toxin-choked junkyard. [Investigation: 3+2 (Native)] Lando knows this planet, though only from star maps and stories: Raxus Prime, a world ravaged by industrialization during the Clone Wars.
Within the large dome is a door sealed by plasma. Just outside, miraculously, appear to be three spaceships, each one large enough to accommodate the six and with enough room to hover up and take off. One is a zipper of a ship, small and weakly armored but clearly packing serious thrusters. One is a gargantuan battle cruiser, slow but tanky, armed to the teeth. The final is a blend, a simple transport cruiser with utterly average armor, weaponry, and thrusters.
The floor is yours. Talk amongst yourselves and vote on a ship to escape and begin your mission.

Oh Holy Mary, mother of Joseph. that is one beautiful ship..."
The soldier points at the Battlecruiser, clearly representative of God-blessed American Freedom.

"We could take all the ships..."“Possibly. Though I can’t speak for the others, I don’t know how to pilot any of these vessels. Half of us appear to be mute, making communication between ships an issue, while the remainder seems…” Sub-Zero glanced to Soldier, “Enthusiastic. If feasible, though, the idea has merit.”

As they step out towards the ships, they immediately taste the pollution in the air, oxygen low compared to the carbon dioxide and harmful chemicals wafting through the surface of every inch of Raxus Prime. The less-armored ship, codenamed "Zipper", stands proud despite rusted plating and a less than stellar sheen. But before they can successfully open the doors and board the ship, they hear rough and tumble voices from their right. "FREEZE!" one shouts. A squad of about six people, clad in black and white armor and wielding firearms, step out from behind an ambush spot around the heavily armored vessel. "This area is restricted! Move back in the shelter and wait for processing. No one's supposed to be here, least of all armed! We need to take you in for questioning of being scavengers!" [Spot: 5] One of the lesser grunts behind the main man whispers something to the head honcho. "...You." He says while pointing to Lando Calrissian. "You look like a known Rebel fugitive. Explain yourself!" The other Stormtroopers, getting antsy, step back and click the safety switches on their blasters.

While I explain this, move out of the general sphere of the group, as if I am trying to get away from them, and then, while the stormtroopers' attention is held by the others, shoot whichever one is still left standing.

COMBAT!
Spoiler: Initiative (click to show/hide)
Acting first, one of the enemy grunts backpedals rapidly, firing his blaster at the violent droid in front of him as he takes cover. [2 v 9] His blaster shots fly wildly, not even touching V1 with his quick reflexes.
While their attention is held by the machine, Lando quickly draws his blaster and fires at the Captain three times. [10 v 10] The first two shots fire wildly as he ducks for cover, but the third is quickly blocked by the stock of his own blaster, allowing him to quickly counterattack. [8 v 4] With a blast, Lando takes a bolt of energy directly to his left shoulder. It doesn't disarm him, but the pain is immediately evident.
V1, coldly and clinically, aims his revolver down to the wounded man, and fires once into his head, finishing that Stormtrooper off.
Pyro, immediately seeing the argument the group of friends is having in front of him, aims to solve the issue with their patented bubble blower! [9 v 2] [3 v 4] One of the masked baby-men is coated with bubbles, making him laugh and giggle like crazy. The bubbles are sticking to his mask and cute little gloves! The other naughty one, however, runs off with a mischievous twinkle in his eye!
Sub-Zero, in the real world, sees one of the grunts get set alight in what seems almost like hellfire, screaming as the fire sticks to his armor while his close partner darts away. He sends a hand covered in frost down to the ground and sends it across the grunge-covered soil to the fleeing soldier. [2 v 6] He manages to dodge the frozen floor and the resulting bed of spikes.
The last Stormtrooper not having fired or having been attacked takes cover, close by his Captain and the other fellow waiting man. "This is too much!" he yells out, but peeks out of cover to aim and fire at the strange, murmuring arsonist. [8 v 2] A single bolt strikes the Pyro in the side, sending a wheeze out of them as they stumble. One of them just poked Pyro with a sharp stick! That's not fair at all, not fair!"
Soldier is having the time of his life, laughing as he aims his rocket launcher towards the men in cover. "That's it, boys! Give 'em hell!" [10 v 9] [10 v 10] [2 v 8] The loud blast of the rocket being fired gives them just enough time to fall back, dodging the explosion just in time. The Stormtrooper who fired at V1 then procures a flashbang from his belt, and tosses it Soldier's direction. [1 v 9+2 (Helmet-Head)] There is a bright flash of light, and then Soldier lets out a louder guffaw of victory. "You think your commie firework can blind me? I see only America!"
"What the hell is he talkin' about?" The other grunt asks, before the Leader notices something."Wait...where's the alien?" [Stealth: 3+2 (Invisible)] A light shimmer catches one's eye, but it ducks behind scrap. "To our right, I think! Just saw somethin' move." [10 v 1] Suddenly, something leaps on top of the Captain, tackling him to the ground before his stomach seems to open on it's own. To his grunts' horror, invisible blades begin tearing organs free, leading to the Captain's swift death before the creature disappears.
Burning alive, the Stormtrooper Pyro caught alight begins to tuck and roll. [Extinguish: 7] He manages to stop the fire with a bit stopping and dropping to the ground, but if his unsteady breathing means anything, he's burnt pretty bad.
The final one, running for his life, looks back to see the carnage, before running off into the scrapyard, presumably to retreat or for reinforcements.

V1 shoots the fleeing human through the head with its revolver.

To those without unusual goggles, they'd interpret this display as more fire being sprayed at stormtroopers, followed with a decapitation.

Working on the turn right now, but between the holidays and ADHD, I forgot to mention anything. Expect something soon! :)
