Empire Ascendant, a campaign for Star Wars The Roleplaying Game (West End Games 1st Edition)

This is the wiki for Empire Ascendant, set in the very beginnings of the Galactic Civil War era, between Episodes 3 and 4.

It is the individual player's responsibility to maintain their own wiki entries. If it is not listed on the wiki the character does not have it.

Gaming Threads:

Emperor Palpatine's Announcement:

The Jedi, and some within our own Senate, had conspired to create the shadow of separatism using one of their own as the enemy's leader… The Jedi hoped to unleash their destructive power against the Republic by assassinating the head of government and usurping control of the clone army. But the aims of would-be tyrants were valiantly opposed by those without elitist, dangerous powers. Our loyal clone troopers contained the insurrection within the Jedi Temple and quelled uprisings on a thousand worlds… The remaining Jedi will be hunted down and defeated. Any collaborators will suffer the same fate.

These have been trying times, but we have passed the test. The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed, but I assure you my resolve has never been stronger. The war is over. The Separatists have been defeated, and the Jedi rebellion has been foiled. We stand on the threshold of a new beginning.

In order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire, for a safe and secure society, which I assure you will last for ten thousand years. An Empire that will continue to be ruled by this august body and a sovereign ruler chosen for life. An Empire ruled by the majority, ruled by a new constitution.

By bringing the entire galaxy under one law, one language, and the enlightened guidance of one individual, the corruption that plagued the Republic in its later years will never take root. Regional governors will eliminate the bureaucracy that allowed the Separatist movement to grow unchecked. A strong and growing military will ensure the rule of law… Under the Empire's New Order, our most cherished beliefs will be safeguarded. We will defend our ideals by force of arms. We will give no ground to our enemies and will stand together against attacks from within or without. Let the enemies of the Empire take heed: Those who challenge Imperial resolve will be destroyed.

Specifically, Jedi Masters Sifo-Dyas and Mace Windu have been implicated with gross crimes against the Republic and Palpatine himself, and Count Dooku appears to have been the mastermind of the Naboo incident, as well as the formation of the CIS (Confederacy of Independent Systems).
