About the adventure
The New Republic is growing in stability, as much as interplanetary politics allow it to, but a small remnant of the Galactic Empire survives in the shadows, biding its time and attempting to undermine the New Republic in these delicate times. The whispers call them the First Order, funded by unknown fortunes and with uncertain end-goals. Meanwhile, Luke attempts to guide a few force-sensitive individuals on a better path, one that aims to avoid the mistakes of the past Jedi Order but that he fears may be doomed to repeat them. On the outskirts of the New Republic, much has stayed the same, with smugglers and miscreants playing an ever-lasting game of cat and mouse. And it is on one such backwater desert planet named Jakku that our story begins, where unknown to the rest of the galaxy the Force has selected a few key individuals...

Additional details
How to prepare
Players should have a microphone and ideally headphones (or at least some mechanism to avoid background noise intruding in the session). Knowledge of at least the basic character creation rules from the core books is highly recommended to ensure it goes smoothly. Players must have a free FoundryVTT account, as well as a Discord account which will be the main means of communication for the campaign.
What I provide
I will have the FoundryVTT module ready with all the tokens, maps, music and any necessary elements for the sessions. All the character sheets will be included as well after Session 0. I believe the most important thing for this Campaign specifically is to enjoy the Star Wars universe, and as such will focus on narrative beats that support that and might at times handwave some of the rules in favor of a smoother experience. However we may talk about this in Session 0 and adopt a different focus if that is your preference!
Gameplay details
We will talk about an overview of the module and player expectations in Session 0, as well as go over the Lines and Veils (we'll keep them in a Google Drive document I'll provide). The document may be expanded on at any time during future sessions and if at any point during a session you feel uncomfortable, feel free to mention it however you prefer and we will address it and/or call for a break. The campaign will be very focused on a Space Opera style, with comedic moments, dramatic ones, and some epic combat scenes, so expect all of the above!

How will character creation work
Characters will be created during Session 0 and will be done as a group. They must all have a reason to be in Jakku at the start of the campaign. I will also have pregenerated characters ready if that's your preference. For our career options any published book for the system will be available, with the limitation that each character may only draw from one of the core books plus one career-specific splatbook, with some caveats we will talk through during Session 0.
