Star Wars: A Different Shade of Evil
A Different Shade of Evil is an Infinities Star Wars setting that begins with the basic premise that no-one who had a speaking part in the movies ever existed, meaning that while some things run more or less in parallel with Star Wars as we know it, other things are very different.
This may not be wise, but I am going to be running two games in parallel.
Republic era
After a thousand years of peace the Galactic Republic presents itself as a shining beacon of democracy. Beneath the surface however, corruption is rampant, rotting the Republic from within. Unbeknownst to the Jedi Order, their ancient enemies; the Sith, are fuelling this corruption as part of their Grand Plan. The Golden Age of the Republic is about to be plunges into darkness.
Can anyone stop it?
Looking for a total of 6 players here. Characters should have some reason to side with the Republic. More detailed information can be found here.
Imperial era
The Empire rules the galaxy though its iron fist is apparently tempered by the velvet glove of democracy. The Sith openly control Imperial Intelligence and the Empire's elite Force Sensitive enforcers; the Imperial Knights.
The restoration of a democratic galactic government has officially ended the Rebellion. A handful of former Rebel systems remain outside the Empire in support of the struggling Jedi Knights.
The fragile peace between the Empire and the Alliance, not to mention civilization itself, was threatened by the dangerous Dark Side cult known as the Brotherhood of Chaos.
By working together, both sides managed to end the Brotherhood's influence in a fierce battle on Dxun. Peace was short-lived however, as the extra-galactic Yuuzhan Vong are now launching a full-scale invasion of the galaxy.
Who can stand in their way?
Looking for a total of 6 players. Imperial, Alliance, and Fringe characters accepted. More detailed information can be found here.
Applications are now open for both games. Thank you everyone for your interest :)
Now the opening crawls

A Different Shade of Evil - Corporate Campaigns
Episode 1 - Peril in Paradise
Shockwaves resonate throughout the GALACTIC REPUBLIC. Furious over the taxation of trade routes, the greedy Trade Federation have struck back in the most eye-catching way they can. They have invaded the idyllic core world of ALDERAAN.
With the Galactic Senate paralysed by the simultaneous blows of this unprecedented act and the sudden assassination of the Supreme Chancellor; Bek Kallas of Malastare, Alderaan's pleas for aid have gone unanswered by the authorities.
The JEDI KNIGHTS; the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, are not content to allow the people of Alderaan to suffer. Though they are not supposed to intervene without Senate approval, the Jedi Council perceive a darker intelligence at work than mere corporate greed, and feel they much act swiftly to discover the truth.
To that end, the Jedi Council have reached out to Corellia for aid in assembling a strike team to liberate Alderaan...
