"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...." The events and
players are very familiar, yet, things have changed.

The galaxy had become an even darker place than during the rise of the
Empire. Treacherously, Luke Skywalker fell to the Dark Side and joined
his father, earning himself the title of Darth Fatalis. Together, this
pair of villains not only destroyed the Rebel Alliance, but ended the
reign of Emperor Palpatine as they banded together to kill him. This
last fact was hidden from the Imperial troops and the Galaxy at large,
until, the Hand of the Emperor, Mara Jade, brought the truth to life.

In a shocking turn of events, the Empire was split into two factions.
A new Galactic Civil War emerged, but this time, not as a battle of
Good versus Evil, but something more sinister. However, Darth Sidious
was prepared for the Skywalkers' treachery. Using Mara Jade's body,
the Emperor had resurrected himself, and as he revealed himself once
more to the Galaxy, led Jade's forces in a siege on Coruscant.
Sparking the new Golden Age of Sith, he used his new Sith warriors to
destroy the Skywalker traitors, and he personally revealed himself to
the fallen pair of Jedi, before slaughtering them.

With the Empire being once more brought under Palpatine's control, it
seemed all hope was lost. Things have a tendency to come full circle;
however. New rebellions emerged, led by surviving members of the
former Rebel Alliance.

Now, the Rebel Alliance has been reborn, though the Rebels have a
great task ahead of them. The Empire is stronger than ever, but there
is at last a glimmer of hope.
