Star Wars Resurgence Campaign The Clone Wars & Clone Protocol 66 The current year for our homebrewed Clone Wars era campaign is set during 19 BBY. Inspired By George Lucas

The Outer Rim is a vast and unforgiving expanse, a lawless frontier where the strong prey upon the weak. For centuries, Veridian Prime stood as a defiant beacon of civilization, a single, technologically advanced metropolis on the otherwise undeveloped planet of Veridian Prime in the galaxy's furthest reaches of the Outer Rim.

Its government was sophisticated, its industries were prosperous, and its people lived in relative peace. But in the final, brutal years of the Clone Wars, a new threat emerged. Raiders and pirates, a loose coalition of scavengers and marauders known as the Crimson Scourge, began to prey upon the city's logistics, ambushing freighters and terrorizing the smaller, outlying settlements.

In a desperate plea for help, the government of Capital City reached out to the Galactic Republic since it had no real means of defense. Yet, their calls went unanswered. The Republic was embroiled in a galaxy-spanning conflict, and a single, isolated world in the Outer Rim was a low priority. Their pleas were lost in bureaucracy, their needs were ignored, and for the people of Veridian Prime, it was a profound and unforgivable betrayal. The Republic, they believed, had abandoned them to a slow and agonizing death at the hands of the raiders.

But now, a new power has risen from the ashes of the old. The First Galactic Empire, with its promise of order and its reputation for swift, decisive action, has heard their plight. An Arquitens-class Command Cruiser and its accompanying fleet have arrived not as a conquering force, but as saviors. A charismatic Imperial Commandant has made a public address, promising to bring security where the Republic failed. The Empire's forces are already in action, ruthlessly hunting down the Crimson Scourge, and for the first time in years, the citizens of Capital City feel hope. The marauder threat is being eliminated, trade is being secured, and a new era of stability seems to be at hand.

Since arriving on Veridian Prime, the Empire has acted with ruthless efficiency to fulfill its promise of security. Imperial forces, led by Commandant Valen Kael, wasted no time in hunting down and decimating the pirate groups of the Crimson Scourge, restoring a sense of peace to the city and its smaller settlements. They have established a permanent military presence, converting a massive government building in Capital City into a central Imperial Garrison and constructing several smaller, fortified outposts across the planet to patrol the surrounding territories.

All civilian starports and trade routes are now under the direct control of the Imperial Navy, ensuring that no marauder can ambush cargo freighters or escape with stolen goods. To maintain this new order, the Empire has imposed strict laws, including a planetary curfew, and has placed stormtrooper patrols and checkpoints on all major thoroughfares. While the streets of Capital City are safer than they have been in years, the local population is slowly realizing that their newfound security has come at the cost of their freedom, as the Empire's grip tightens on every aspect of their lives.

Our story begins in this moment of fragile peace. The Empire has answered the call for aid on Veridian Prime, and the citizens have welcomed their new protectors. But the Imperial promise of order comes at a steep price, and as the citizens, begin to explore the city's newly "secure" streets, they will discover that the true danger to their freedom has not been eliminated—it has just arrived.
