A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
The Galactic Empire, lead by the evil Emperor Palpatine, rule with an iron fist. Established after the Galactic Republic failed, the Empire is a totalitarian faction which rules over one million worlds. Emperor Palpatine was originally known as Chancellor Palpatine, who was chosen by the Galactic Senate. During the chaos of the Clone Wars, he was granted emergency powers which allowed him to bypass rules and regulations set by the Galactic Constitution. His power grew until it seemed like he was a dictator. It was eventually discovered that Palpatine was a dark Jedi known as Darth Sidious, and that he had been staged the entire war so that he may plant the seeds for the Empire to be born. The Jedi attempted to stop Palpatine, but they failed to defeat him, and were declared enemies of the Republic.
Order 66 was issued. The Clone troopers were ordered to turn on their Jedi commanders, who had lead them through so many harsh battles. Palpatine promised the people of the galaxy that he would stop the ensuing chaos and restore order. Unfortunately, they believed him. The Jedi Council was massacred, and Coruscant was made into an Imperial city. The largest military buildup in history then took place. After nineteen years, the Republic Senate was abolished, even though they no longer held any power. The Council of Moffs was then formed to govern the planets under Imperial control.
The Rebel Alliance, a small but growing resistance dedicated to destroying the Empire, fight to free the galaxy. However, they have made little progress so far. Their main headquarters is on the uninhabited jungle planet, Yavin 4. An abandoned Jedi Academy serves as a headquarters for the Rebels. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, the Rebels still continue the fight against Palpatine and his minions...
