Since there are about 20 years between Episode III and the first Star Wars Movie, let´s fill that vacuum together.

 

I know that there are novells and comics out there, but who cares ( well at least not me ). So let´s do our own thing.

 

So after the great Jedi-Purge the Emperor is building up his new founded empire by oppressing its citizens and invading systems which refuse to accept the new order. While all this happens, he and Vader take care over their secret Death Star-Project, which still takes some time untill its completely finished.

The former Clonetroopers, now called Stormtroopers, consist now of different clone-batches and recruits and became the backbone of the empires warmachinerie. They are stationed everywhere, aboard ships and also on garrisons of every planet belonging to the empire. Cruisers are now called Star Destroyers and are equipped with the first Tie-Fighters, which are the most advanced fighters in the history so far. Also the new Victory-Class Star Destroyers begin their duty in the new founded Imperial Navy. One of these is commanded by Darth Vader, who is still hunting the last few Jedis, who escaped the great Jedi-Purge.

This sounds like a great starter story for an RPG, Eagle.

I´m not familiar with RPG, but feel free to use it.

 

Palpatine sent out Lord Vader and the 501st Stormtrooper-Legion on a mission to Ando. Ando was part of the CIS at the end of the clone-wars and still has large Droid-Armies which are a serious threat for the young Empire. Vader is personally comanding his new fleet, which consists of Victory-, Acclamator- and Venator-Class Star Destroyers.

 

Vaders small fleet:

looks good so far

" Upon reaching Ando, Vader's fleet is attacked by the remainder of the Trade Federation Fleet - Vader's destroyers, fighters, and cruisers are more modern with better weapons and shields, but the Federation fleet has far far more fighters and bombers."

this would be good for another rebellion mod

Episode 3 1/2

Cool idea.

 

Their V-Wing fighter-squadrons consisted of fresh recruits and very young clone-pilots. The Star Destroyer Crews were also very unexperienced by that time, so they had high losses. They only achieved victory, because Vader himself took part at the battle in one of the first Tie-Fighter prototypes, with which it was very easy to outmanoever the droid-fighters.

 

One of the recruited V-Wing pilots, who barely survived the battle, was a young man called Jerjerrod:

After cleaning the sky from droid-fighters, Vader led a bomber-squadron to attack the droid control ship, which controlled all the fighters. They had to fight there way through all the frigates and lost a third of that squadron on half of their way, because of massive turbo-laser fire.

Finally they´ve reached the droid control ship and Vader ordered the bombers to unleash a heavy bombardement. Soon the ship was set on fire and its crew started to leave the ship with escape-pods. After the first pods left the whole ship exploded.

LoL! I also wasn´t sure anymore if this topic would fit to the "general talk"-categorie, but I´m also not that sure, if this fits in here to all that role-playing here. I don´t want to make a RPG just want to talk and fantasize with others about what happened between Episode 3 and 4. But nevermind.

OOC I can put it in outside interests if you like?

 

I always think of general talk as being more Rebellion related.

On further consideration i'll put it in General Talk, just checked Evaders definitions on the different forums.

 

My bad

Nevermind, Elvis.

 

BTW what means "OOC"?

Nevermind, Elvis.

 

BTW what means "OOC"?

Out Of Character. There's also IC: In Character. IC is used for when you write the story and OOC is for when you write...other stuff, outside of the story such as ideas, where you're going, you forgot to post etc.

So it´s role-playing stuff. Thanks for the explanation.

It should include a Vader returns to the volcanic planet to reminisce about his battle with Obi Wan, the death of Padme, and his transformation into Vader. As he turns to leave, he looses footing, slips and tumbles in lava. Cut to scene with Emperor standing over Vader, shaking his head and muttering under his breath before telling Vader 2.0 to rise and not be a whiny bitch like the last one. This would include the original suit and deeper tone of original trilogy Vader

After the destruction of the droid-controll ship, Vader´s Victory Star Destroyer set down into Ando´s atmosphere with back up of the remaining cruisers. When it came down to 300 feet the destroyer launched it´s troop carriers for the final ground attack. After reloading the bombers also were launched to attack the heavy defenses outside of Ando´s capital Quantill City, where the enemy comanders have been supposed to be.
