Prologue
The Rebel Cell on Yendor did the Impossible, after subterfuge, precision strikes, and great loss, the Rebels achieved a vital victory by securing the Second Death Star Plans and destroying a Shield Generator on one of the satellite moons of Endor, the Moon of Yendor. The Rebel Cell on Yendor achieved their goals, and in the coming end of the Age of Rebellion, and the end of the Galactic Empire, a new age dawned, and subsequently the New Galactic Republic filled the void of galactic Government, and began the difficult transition of power from oppression to freedom.
The Year is now 17 ABY, the Galactic Civil War is a not so distant memory, and the Battle of Yendor is still causing trouble for planetary inhabitants. The remains of both the Shield Generator and the Empire remain. Yendor was just a settlement built to house the Try’Lor Technocracy, sure, but it was also furnished with infrastructure and resources catered specifically to the Empire's requirements. Once the local Imperial Officers concluded their inner Imperial Civil War, they then formed a cohesive Imperial Holdout to resist the New Galactic Republic, with an Imperial Warlord to lead them.
With the New Republic reaching to govern its new territories, and the Empire Remnant Forces planning for the very near future, bit sides now crash against each other in yet another Battle of Yendor, who will you join?

Faction Story and Uniforms
*Forward*
As an immersion, narrative roleplay experience in the Star Wars Universe, we understand dressing for the event may be challenging. We ask that all players do their best to match the style and uniforms of the SW Universe. With a deep, nearly bottomless pit of Star Wars content, an impressive and almost intimidating amount of information exists on cosplay and outfit ideas. Almost anything would be preferred to then full BDU and Tacticool loadouts for this event.
*The Galactic Empire Remnant*
After the destruction of the second Death Star, and the newly emerged New Republic dominating as the new governing body of the Galaxy, the remnants of the Empire and its vast hordes of resources are at a tipping point. With plans already years in the works, and fully functioning garrisons and fleets hiding and planning in the Outer Rim, Yendor finds itself yet again looked upon as a key resource for their taking. A Grand Admiral has rallied what remains of the Empire Presence in the area, and is looking at the backwater world as a valuable asset for the coming Storm the Empire is preparing to unleash upon the hapless and ignorant New Republic.

*The New Republic*
17 ABY – New Republic has been established and reached the Outer Rim. The Outpost at Yendor has been secure for years since the last battle. However, intelligence indicates that a mass of Imperial troops has rallied under a Grand Admiral – all of whom were tried for War Crimes against the Galaxy and either imprisoned or executed.
The fledgling governing body of The New Republic struggles to keep the newly acquired planet fully in line with Legislation and customs that have swept the galaxy. As members of the dominant force of the Galaxy, these agents and administrators work to fully wrest control of the territory and quell any form of Empire Sympathizers, which has become a continually challenging endeavor. The New Republic fleet has been scattered across the Galaxy recruiting systems to the New Republic, only General Solo and a small band of New Republic troops and administrators have been dispatched to bring Yendor into the fold.

*Yendor Civilians Story (Apply/Private)*
After the Climactic final Battle of Yendor, and the Destruction of the Second Death Star, the Yendor Outpost saw itself become the De Facto Capital of the planet. With their stable government and infrastructure already Established, the Try’Lor Technocracy assumed the rule of planetary rulers and administrators. Wealthy from past Empire Contracts and left with an abundance of Imperial Resources, the technocracy possessed the power and resources to rule and govern. With the Republic reaching for more control of the Outer Rim, Yendor and the Outpost were next to be included into the burgeoning New Republic. The Try’Lor Technocracy see’s the new Republic as a threat to the status Quo, but finds themselves in the position of Power as the New Republic officials Court the Try’Lor Technocracy for Governing control.

Roles:
For this event, the Yendor Outpost will have citizen roles, people that will act as though they are living normal lives or slightly above average lives in the Star Wars Universe. There are a number of roles that these citizens can occupy, and then build back stories to create an enriching roleplay experience. When taking a role, you must accept that you are living in an Wild Outer Rim controlled outpost and will be subject to their laws unless otherwise stated. Thus you need to seriously consider if the citizen role you choose will be too difficult for you to act out.

LightSabers
There will be no Lightsabers as weapons, period.
The Sabers are Admin controlled Trade commodities.
Respawn and Bleedout Rules
Each team will have a dedicated respawn location, with the town potentially becoming another point if the Try’Lor Technocracy allow it. Do Not Spawn Camp.
2 minute bleed out, maximum 2 revives. If you cannot be revived by a Bacta Tank, or have used all of your revives, you must respawn at a Faction Base. The Outpost has a hospital. Players can be taken there using BTA’s Drag Rule, listed further below.
Bacta Tank Revive Rules
Faction Leads will Start with a Case of Bacta Tanks, represented by Bottles of Water. Each time one is fully Emptied, a player is revived, following the revive rules listed.
Drag Rule
You can "pull" players out of harms way while they are bleeding out. Grab a player, and state you are moving them, then the player being grabbed can move themselves while being guided by the player dragging them.
Hospital Rules
The Yendor Outpost has a hospital, it serves as a respawn point for the Yendor Civilians and whatever faction maintains control over the location. If no faction controls the town, none other than the Civilians may respawn there for free, but other players can be taken there using the Drag Rule and revived at the discretion of whoever controls the outpost. Doctor Decides always who respawns no matter what, with the rules listed above for guidelines.
Currency
There will be credits within the game to be collected for each faction, Credits will be used for Paying for Intel, Vehicle patrols, General items in the City, As well as The help of the Mandalorians. The Town Director will have Contracts and Bounties lined up, from the mundane to lethal. The Citizens of the Outpost Town will also have some miscellaneous quests at times, adn will ask for help and reward those that assist.
Bounty System
During the battle of Yendor, Bounties will be created on various players during the game. Some individuals on the field will have Red Bounty Cards on their bodies, and if the target is eliminated, the said target must surrender their red bounty card. This card, regardless if an official Bounty was created on them, can be redeemed for credits at the Yendor Outpost.
Looting Rules
This event will have an in game currency. If a player has gone down, they are now vulnerable to opposing factions looting them. In order to loot the player of their credits or valuables, you may declare 1 pocket on their persons. This player must give you all belongings in that 1 pocket. The player declaring the looting may not declare more than 1 pocket. The player being looted may not be looted by more than one player per death.
Crime
“Crime” are staff controlled events in the city that will happen as needed. These will be roleplay opportunities to interact with the civilians and gain favor with the Outpost. It is heavily suggested to solve Crime without killing the Scum and Villainy that commit the acts, better rewards for living wrong Doers.
Arrest Rule
Anyone can declare they are going to arrest someone, it is up to the individual if they will comply or not, resisting may result in death or fines. PLEASE NOTE, Arrested individuals MUST AGREE to be arrested, and can dent this game mechanic, and consent. No Malicious or overtly physical handling of the arrested individual, and NO HANDCUFFS.
Juggernaut Rules
Successfully hitting a pie plate on admin assigned juggernauts will temporarily stun any juggernaut, which then allows for a melee K*ll that ultimately kills the juggernauts and requires it to respawn at a dedicated team spawn point.
Sabacc Tournament
This is a pre-sign-up tournament. Only 24 seats are given for the tournament – the last game left will use Han’s good deck and Han will be the dealer.Run by the rules written by Han Solo and Cabe Falon-Vos.
Only three people have the authority to pass judgement on a Sabacc dispute: Han Solo, Cabe Falon-Vos and Lando Calrissian, and any other yendor staff involved.
Three dealers will be needed throughout the day to deal games during breaks or practices between patrons.
Buy in is 10 thousand credits and $5.00 USD to benefit BTA. Betting is unlimited. Ownership and/or Intelligence cards can be used as currency. Ownership and Intelligence cards can be picked up on the playing field. For other currencies, please see number 9 below.
The first round will be eight players at three tables. The last two at each table plays Han.
A player can leave the game at any time but may not re-enter. Breaks may be necessary. So, as long as the player does not say, “I’m out of the game”, then that player may return to play again, pending permission from the dealer. Breaks can only be taken between hands and will be approved by the dealer.
There is only one rule book. I will have to post it on the general page for those that are interested.
Inside the Cantina, there is no DME. If you commit “murder”, the Marshall will arrest you and put you in the Prison. Only way out is to pay the fine (10-50 thousand credits, this is up to the Magistrate), or get broken out and become a fugitive, therefore creating a bounty on your head (may need to get a polaroid camera or barrow Karen’s printer to post fugitive photos in the prison).
The “caveat” to that is that if you’re caught cheating at Sabacc, you get shot. That’s not “murder”.
If you are defending yourself, you are not committing “murder”.
If you are defending someone else, you are not committing “murder”.
Eye protection will be worn in the Cantina, unless told otherwise.
If you are after a Guild Sanctioned bounty, the first option is to take the bounty alive. If the bounty calls for it, “death” may be authorized in the Cantina for bounties.
During the tournament (approximately 1900 hours on Saturday), weapons will be collected from the players. Therefore, eye protection is not needed. If caught cheating, you will be expelled from the game instead of “shot”. Any credits are used during this game – that includes, but not limited to, Imperial Credits, Outer Rim Credits, Republic Credits, Galactic Credits, gems, Coaxium, Beskar, Batuu Spira, Calamari Flan, Yendor Credits, Ownership cards, Intelligence cards or Kyber crystals. As long as the item is worth something, you can bet it. The amount of the item is determined by the dealer.
