Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Force Unleashed Campaign Guide
A Dark Times Campaign is about more than just the heroes fighting the Empire. While the heroes struggle to strike critical blows against the monolithic Empire, the rest of the galaxy continues on with its daily business. Throughout the course of a Dark Times Campaign, the heroes might have the chance to come across allies and enemies not directly related to the struggle against the Empire or the power of The Force. Moreover, the heroes might need to rely on these allies to keep themselves active in the galaxy. This chapter presents new allies and opponents for use during The Dark Times.
Important Figures of The Dark Times[]
A Gamemaster running a campaign during The Dark Times can draw upon a variety of characters to aid and challenge players. These include unique, heroic characters who play pivotal roles during this period as well as Nonheroic supporting characters.
The less common the character, the less likely it is that heroes might encounter that individual in the everyday course of events. For instance, a band of freedom fighters has a better chance of meeting pirates and Jawas than it does a Galactic Senator or a renegade Jedi. Some characters by their very nature stick to certain territory, such as the Felucians and Kazdan Paratus. Others range around certain regions, including Senators, Master Rahm Kota and his militia, and Wookiee Berserkers.
