Heroes of the Empire
What if Star Wars was told from the other side's perspective?
...What Battlefront II should have been, in my opinion:
The Imperials would be played straight as the good guys of Star Wars . Any bad things the Empire does would be thoroughly justified as acts of war, fake news, peace keeping, or blunders of disgraced officers. For example, Alderaan would be the equivalent to Heroshima & Nagasaki, and The Rebel Alliance would be portrayed as terrorist actors equivalent to the Taliban or Isis.
Any knowledge of the Jedi Order would be similar to the real-world player viewpoint of the Templars from the Assassin's Creed series. The Sith would be completly obscured from history. Current Characters with Force abilities would be analogous to the Inhumans from Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which I feel like the show's basic premise could be an appropriate model for this campaign. Probably taking place during the events of Rebels , Solo , Rogue One and A New Hope .
The PCs would have unwavering Duty to the Galactic Empire. The party would be a special unit comprised of PCs that have been cherrypicked from different Emperial units and/or Civilian Assets, all of whom have diverse backgrounds and training. Maybe some extra starting XP should be given to reflect this?
Looking for fellow players and an experienced GM.
