I'm trying to get a new game started in which I will be the GM. Can you guys help me brainstorm some other alternate realities that would make for good EoE settings? In particular I'm looking for a setting that no single faction has too much power or control.
In the Beta EoE game in which I was a player was set in dark times a few years after the Emperor had come to power. I really enjoyed this setting as systems were losing their freedom to the Empire as it started to clamp down.
Ones I've thought of so far are...
1) Emperor, Darth Vader & Luke all die at Endor. Palpatine is dead for good and does not transfer his life essence. Grand Admiral Thrawn takes command of the remnant forces and manages a stalemate with New Republic after 7 years...it turns into a cold war with divided territories. The Hutts grabbed large swaths of more territory during these years.
2) Luke joins his father Darth Vader at Bespin and they plan an attack on the Emperor but fail. An Imperial civil war starts and the galaxy is in chaos. The divided empire's attention is quite distracted so this game would be Jedi friendly.
3) A one-armed Mace Windu convinces Grand Admiral Thrawn to defect to the nearly defeated Rebel ALliance after the Deathstar destroys Yavin, Kashyyyk and Dac. The Katana Fleet manages to cripple the Deathstar in an epic fleet battle but not completely destroy it.
