I am writing a story about the characters in my campaign. Seeing as how 
it is still running, I always have source material to write about. I just 
want some opinions. I hope you don't mind the long post, Jae.


You know what is real, and what is not.
You know what is Light, and what is Dark.
You know what is good, and what is evil.
Now, forget all you know......or think you know.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.........

STAR 
WARS
THE DARKWOOD SERIES
VOLUME ONE


It is a period of civil war. With the destruction of the Death Star,  a 
moon-size space station with enough power to destroy a planet, the Rebel 
Alliance has won its first major victory over the evil Galactic Empire.

Nearly a year has passed since that fateful battle. The Rebels, now that the 
location of their main base is no longer a secret, search for a new haven to 
conduct all operations from. A fleet of the Empire's dreaded Star Destroyers 
searches the galaxy for the Rebellion's leaders, who are constantly pressed 
with avoiding capture. The Empire itself is reorganizing its troop and vessel 
deployments to make up for losses claimed with the Death Star. Each side is 
waiting for an opportune time to strike against the other.

Life is good for the tramp freighter captains that dot the galaxy. Both the 
Alliance and the Empire need supplies ferried throughout their spheres of 
influence, and neither are willing to sacrifice starships and manpower needed 
elsewhere to do so. Independent operators are often called upon to fill this 
gap. At this time, anyone with a ship that can hold a respectable amount of 
cargo is able to find employment within explored space.

Unfortunately, while life can be good for these people, it can also be 
depressingly short. Both sides in this war frequently raid the other's cargo 
shipments, and conflict is usually inevitable. Good weapons and skill with them
are almost as important to a tramp freighter captain as a ship and the skill to 
pilot it.


A young Rebel officer named Landon Darkwood has recently been sent to the 
backwater desert world of Tatooine (much to his dismay) on an assignment. What 
he doesn't know is that, once there, he will be attracted to the freedom of the 
tramp freighter captain to the extent that he becomes one himself, and in doing 
so, becomes one of the people that the Rebellion considers a hero.........


Well, what do you all think? Comments appreciated!
