Galactic Battlezones
The Game of War

--Prelude--
"Captain, this is Blue Four."
"Copy, Blue Four. Where's your position?"
"Coordinates sending."
"Roger that. What's going on down there, Blue Four?"
"It's...insane, sir. The scouting trip has discovered an Imperial death star headed this way."
"WHAT?! We blew up that!"
"No, sir. They were building a secondary one, apparently."
"That's...that's the reason for the communication break down, then. It's been jamming our distress signals! Gah. Head back to the Resist."
"Aye, sir."
"How long do you estimate until it reaches our ship?"
"Ten hours at most, sir."
"Ten hours....that's not enough time."
"Sir?"
"Nothing. Report back to the ship immediately. I'll alert the General."
"Yes, sir."
Click.
"Gah...we're in trouble this time..."

--Intro--
Welcome to Galactic Battlezone. The game takes place four months before The Empire Strikes Back. The Imperial Forces have recovered from their humiliating defeat at Yavin IV, and have regrouped to once again assault. Targeting one of the major Rebel outposts, a rebel gunship called the Resist. Having jammed the communications and created a blockade far enough away to avoid detection, the ship has unknowingly been awaiting it's doom. The RPG will consist entirely of the battle between the death star Revenge and the Resist.

--Rules--
I. Anything the TOS says.
II. PM me all character sheets for approval.
III. I will accept both Imperial and Rebel characters, but Rebel characters are encouraged. Imperials should be secondary characters.
IV. The GM retains the right to kill off any character he chooses in any manner possible. I will try to refrain from this, but the point of this is the battle, not a group of undefeatable soldiers. Mainly this will be against unactive people who aren't present to die.
V. Death is very important in this game. The majority of your characters will end up dead before the end, so please, know when to go down. Only a small group should be left over at the end.
VI. The ending of the game isn't set in stone. If players tend to lean towards the Imperials winning, then that's what will happen, as well as vice-versa. Nearly all of the characters part of the losing side need to die. I will allow one or two to be taken prisoner, and perhaps one escapee.
VII. Character sheets are welcome to be sent in at any time, but you are only allow to control three characters at a time.
VIII. If you intend to do something that drastically alters the game, then make sure you have my prior approval via PM.
IX. No God-Modding, things like that. Play fair.
X. The cardinal rule: have fun!

--How the Game Works--
Once enough people have entered, I'll start the game with my opening post. For the first bit or so, it will be the exposition time when you introduce your characters, make friends, but most of all, prepare for the attack that everyone knows is coming. Once I feel that everyone is comfortable and ready for the fight, I'll make a triggering post that starts the battle. From then on, whether you decide to take a ship and try to shoot down the death star or ready yourself for the Imperial boarding party is up to you. I will GM random NPCs to fight you, but when possible, it is asked that you fight other characters. As the GM, I will also make posts which lists the current stage of the battle, so make sure to know what's going on around you.
