Rebel Runners
Year 1 of the New Order
The Imperial siege of Hyperion IV has dragged on for months. The orbital defenses have kept stormtroopers from landing on the planet as of yet, but the blockade is tightening around the former CIS system.
Such a situation is, of course, a fertile breeding ground for smugglers. And the system's fierce resistance to Imperial occupation has become a symbol to a small community of malcontents intent on defying the might of the New Order. These rebel blockade runners have formed into a tight-knit community, intent on keeping Hyperion supplied with everything it needs to continue it's fight against the Empire. Some of these runners even dream that Hyperion's resistance might inspire other systems to join, reigniting the flame of the old Confederacy. Others are in it for the profit, and want to keep the Hyperion market open for their goods as long as profit.
But regardless of their motive, each of the disparate smugglers is dedicated to keeping Hyperion free.
Until now. Imperial agents have managed to infiltrate the information network used by the runners, and have begun to pick apart the group from the inside. From the nature of the interceptions, everyone knows it has to be an inside job. If you don't want to end up in an Imperial prison, you must root out the Imperial spied before they destroy you.

Hello, and welcome to Rebel Runners!
Even if you've never played before, you are welcome to sign up for this game! The more the merrier!
General Rules:
During the day, you may vote for whoever you think is an evil Imperial infiltrator out to burn down your community by posting ##vote [insert target]. At the end of the day, whoever has the most votes will be killed, and their role and alignment will be revealed. If there is a tie, no kill will happen. The day lasts for 48 hours, or until a player receives a majority of the votes, at which point the hammer falls and the Day is immediately over (even if the moderator is not around to officially say so).
During the Night, players with actions may submit their targets to the GM. No players may talk in the thread during the night, although anyone with private communications may continue to use those channels. Nights will last for 24 hours, or until all actions have been submitted.
Editing of posts is not permitted.
Using the forum's Quote function on your Role PM is not permitted, and will be responded to by an immediate modkill.
When you sign up for the game, feel free to create a flavor name for your character! If you have not submitted a flavor name by the time the game starts, the GM will assign one to you, randomly generated using a Star Wars name generator. All flavor names will be public information at the start of the game, and will be listed on the player list. The GM disclaims any and all liability for the suitability of your randomly generated flavor name if you should fail to create your own.
When voting for a player, please vote using their forum name, not their flavor name, to avoid confusion.
The Imperial Infiltrators win if they outnumber the town players, or if nothing can stop such an event from occurring. The Runners win if they find and destroy all of the infiltrators.
Roles:
Roles will be chosen from the following list. None of these roles are guaranteed to be in the game, and there may be more than one of any given role; however, no role that is not on the list will be included. Roles listed in Green are exclusively town-aligned, while those in Red are exclusively scum-aligned. Roles listed in black can be of either faction.
Pilot: You are an experienced blockade runner, who has done this job for many years. Once per game, during a night turn, you may leave to go on a solo blockade run by responding to your game PM with ##run. On the night that you do this, any and all actions targeted against you fail. This role is the game's equivalent of a vanilla role.
Scout: Your long experience scouting distant hyperspace routes has made you more suspicious than most. Each night, you can follow one of your fellows to see what they are up to by responding to your game PM with ##track (insert player here). You are told who they visited during the night.
Hacker: Your computer manipulation skills are legendary. Each night, you can use them to misdirect one of your fellows by responding to your game PM with ##redirect (insert player here) to (insert player here). Any actions taken by the player you target are redirected to the second player you listed. You cannot target yourself with this ability.
Investigator: You were once trained in law enforcement, before you decided to break the laws instead. In the present crisis, you can put your old training to use to dig up secrets from the past. Each night, you may investigate one of your fellows by responding to your game PM with ##scan (insert player here). You are told the role (but not the faction) of your target.
Zealot : You are a CIS patriot, willing to do almost anything in order to further your cause. Each night, you may choose one player and eliminate them by responding to your game pm with ##kill (insert player here).
Padawan : You had the benefit of some training in the Jedi Temple, though you fell away from the order before the end of the Clone Wars. Each night, you can use your force abilities to investigate one of your fellows by responding to your game PM with ##scan (insert player here). You are told the faction (but not the role) of your target.
Infiltrator : Your infiltration skills have been honed by a lifetime of espionage. If you are scanned, your faction shows as Runner and your role as Pilot.
All role PMs will follow the following format:
"Hello and welcome to Rebel Runners!
You are [Insert character name here], a [insert alignment] [insert role]!"
The role description will then be copied and pasted from this document, along with the win condition.
