Caveat: the PbP game that I'm recruiting for is not hosted on this forum. Just wanted to say that up front.
After the Fall is an Infinity . For those of you that may not be familiar with the term "Infinity" in the Star Wars context, it covers stories set in an alternate "reality" where events differ from canon. Prior to the Disney canon reset (which turned the entire old EU into one huge Infinity), Infinities covered a handful of comic book and short stories with "What if" postulates and their consequences (according to how the authors saw things unfolding thereafter).
The premise to the Infinity is as follows:
QuoteAnakin Skywalker arrives a few seconds too late to stop Mace Windu from killing Palpatine. In his rage at the loss of what he believes is the only means by which his wife might be saved, he kills the Jedi Master by hurling him out the window using the Force. Skywalker assumes command of the Grand Army of the Republic and initiates Order 66. Consumed by the Dark Side, he and the 501st Legion then kill everyone in the Jedi Temple. Meanwhile, General Grievous kills Obi-wan Kenobi on Utapau before Order 66 is received. Grievous then escapes to continue leading the CIS. Yoda kills Skywalker in the Senate building. Bail Organa becomes Supreme Chancellor in an emergency session of the Senate.
The Separatists obliterate Tipoca City by orbital bombardment, ending clone production. Less than six months later, Coruscant falls to the ever-increasing might of the Separatist droid armies, as does Alderaan and many other worlds. Without replacement clones, the Army of the Republic cannot sustain escalating battle losses. Grievous declares himself Emperor after eliminating a couple of CIS leaders and several Republic senators. This example is not lost on outspoken senators like Mon Mothma and Garm Bel Iblis, who flee and join Bail Organa, Padme Amidala (and her twins), and the remnants of the Republic navy out in the Rim Territories. A much-reduced Jedi Order led by Yoda scatters as the Empire mercilessly hunts them down.
The Clone Wars segues directly into the Galactic Civil War, with the Alliance to Restore the Republic fighting an insurgency against the new Empire. What would normally be 19 BBY in a canon timeline becomes year zero of the Imperial Era (0 IE). The campaign begins a few months after the creation of the Empire. The galaxy remains fractured and ablaze. Many sectors continue to openly resist the Empire, and with the bulk of what used to be the Republic navy under rebel control, the Empire is far from having the iron grip on the galaxy it would have had under the rule of Sith lords.
The Rebel fleet does contain clones. On the few ships that have both Jedi and clones aboard, relations are frigid between them. While the clones hold no antipathy for surviving Jedi (the clones were just following orders), the Jedi, understandably, do not trust clones after troops that had been thought to be honorable turned on their commanders. The Jedi Order was betrayed, and most Jedi will not work with clones, viewing them as less human than a protocol droid. At least droids are loyal.
The game has slots for 4 Jedi Padawan and 2 non-Force Sensitive characters (one of which must be skilled in space piloting). 3 of the 4 Jedi spots were filled yesterday. None of the PCs, so far, is a technical or medical specialist (Int-based build). One the Jedi is a 'face', one of them fills the role of a 'rogue' (Cunning-based skills), and the third is an Ataru Striker build.
The game is hosted on this external site . Persons interested in joining the game should post in the game's Discussion thread .
