About the adventure
A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far, Far Away... The year is 8 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin), and the Galaxy suffers under the reign of the Galactic Empire. It has been 11 years since the end of the Clone Wars and the rise of the Empire, and the old stories and fears of Separatism are getting old. And many people are starting to see through the lies told by COMPNOR and the Emperor, seeing the true horrors of the Empire. You are one such group of people who see through the veil of fear and superstition and see the Empire for what it is. You are members of the Black Star Squadron. Your mission? To disrupt Imperial Activity in the Sorbana Sector and liberate it from the iron grip of the Empire. A Sector under the rulership of Moff Lyram Tavis and known for little more than being a major competitor in the extraction, production, and exportation of Tibanna Gas. The fuel for all the Galaxy's Blasters and Laser Cannons. You joined Black Star Squadron from a sense of Duty to the Galaxy, to an Obligation that forced you into this life, from your personal motivations, to it simply being the moralistic thing to do. However, your rebellious activities will eventually gain the attention of threats far worse than Moff Tavis, far more strange, and far more cunning.

About me
Hello There! You can call me many different things! Gallant, Commander Hellreaper, Morgan LePenguin, Jadyn, and more! I have been GMing for the past 5 years running multiple Campaigns! Namely, I am running a Star Wars Alternate Universe using the Star Wars RPG by Fantasy Flight Games/Edge Studios. I own all three Core Rulebooks and all of the Sourcebooks. I run my games on Foundry VTT, using a Discord Server to talk with players. I have Wednesday through Sunday available for running games. When I run my games, I run them with the themes of the universe in question. Trying to create an experience being both unique while still being true to the feeling of the system/universe. I enjoy allowing my players to shape the Campaigns with their decisions. Allowing the players free will (but certainly not free from consequences!). Being open to discussion to find compromise whenever issues arrive. I like to give my games a feeling of being lived in. Using Worldbuilding to make the world feel real. Giving each NPC their own personalities. I like to use skills I've learned in writing fiction to help players feel connected to the game world. I hope you consider me for your games! And I am excited to share the experience of these games with you!

Creating your character
We will go over character creation on Foundry together. We can do so either before or during Session 0. However, due to the use of homebrewed material and a few custom rules, I ask that player do NOT use tools like Oggdude as it may not be reflective of how your character will look on Foundry when we go through Character Creation. We will be using all 3 Core Rulebooks and their associated rulebooks of Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion, and Force and Destiny.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
It is recommended that you have a system capable of running Foundry VTT (A laptop and or desktop will be best). And that you have a mic and access to Discord.
What Gallant Ascent brings to the table
I will host the game on Foundry VTT using the Star Wars RPG System. I offer an open and accepting community or fellow TTRPG players and Star Wars fans on Discord. I have all of the Core Rulebooks and all of the Sourcebooks, allowing for a wide range of player options. I love to give unique personalities to all my NPCs, though sadly my vocal range is somewhat limited (though I give my attempts at doing voices anyway lol). I tend towards using the rules as written, but I have plenty of homebrewed rules and will make decisions on a moment by moment basis to allow for better flow of gameplay. Whenever I run combat, I always do so to tell a story. So NPCs make decisions and use tactics based on the NPCs behind them or go create moments of tense or fun storytelling. This Campaign is part of a shared AU with several other Star Wars Campaigns I run.
Homebrew rules
In character creation, you receive a free rank in all 4 career skills from your specialization instead of two. Likewise you start with 600 credits instead of 500. We also have available custom playable species (e.i. Herglic, Sephi, and custom ones such as the Yerenak and Vran), and even custom careers and specializations created by the GM and your fellow community members.

How Gallant Ascent creates a safe table
We provide an RPG Consent Forum pinned in the General Chat Channel for you to fill out at your earliest convenience. We will hold a free Session 0 to go over the basics of the Campaign as well as what is okay and what isn't.
