The Story Behind This 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

This campaign will focus on the events shortly after the fall of the Republic. We will not be disrupting anything that happened up until this point in the timeline. I want to keep this campaign having a story that developes over time and stays away from popular canon events.

We will instead be starting our campaign on the planet of Veridian Prime, "a homebrewed planet", located in the far reaches of the Outer Rim. I don't want to dive into this much to keep from spoiling anything with my players but I have a solid story written up for this campaign.

I am not saying that the companions will not cross paths with individuals from the films and series but it is not something I "plan" to do and odds are it will not happen, we are just creating our own story in a remote part of the galaxy and anything that we do will not impact any of the various "canon" timelines ― basically with how Disney destroyed most of what they released and yes, I am not a fan of Disney Star Wars.

This campaign story will have a very similar "Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord" feel to it. I absolutely love this animated series. Dave Feloni is knocking it out of the park so far, now that Kathleen Kennedy has been given the boot. This campaign will begin with the story focusing on the planet Veridian Prime, focusing on various crime lords and syndicates that are working out of Capital City. I want to give this campaign a dark, gritty feel, I want to let the players characters get their hands dirty and let things unfold as they will.

I am not sure if I want to introduce a Dark Jedi/Sith into this campaign, but I am sure they will pop up eventually, I mean, it's Star Wars right? Seems like all the main stories revolve around the Sith and some evil Jedi trying to kill the good guys. Maybe this time I stay away from that and just go with a non Jedi setting and let it be full of pirates and gangsters but as I said, I plan to just let this story play out and let the players push the story forward and then, what happens, happens.
