Divided into three eras, this Infinities campaign
takes you on the probable events that I have set forth here. I have
tried to focus on major events, however occasionally I do break down into
specifics. The first major era is the Rebellion Era. Simply
put, the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance are waging war to see if
the ways of the Republic shall be restored or will Palpatine's New Order
reign as a new Sith Empire. The Redemption Era is just that, a time
brought on by the redemption of several pivotal Dark Jedi. The time
after is the called Redemption Era becaus it is one of healing, rebuilding
and the re-establishment of many Republic traditions with reforms built in
to avoid old disasters. Finally, the New Jedi Order happens.
The NJO starts with the invasion of the extra-galactic invaders the Yuuzhan
Vong. This era gets its name because it is a new generation of Jedi
who were born as the Galactic Civil War (Rebellion) was winding down or at
the start of the Redemption Era. If anyone would like to know about
a specific event in the time line I have set forth, please
E-mail me and I will give a prompt
response.
What if ISD Devastator’s gunners
destroyed R2-D2 and C-3PO while they were helplessly drifting towards Tatooine’s
surface aboard the escape pod from the Correllian Corvette Tantive
IV?
This is the key concept of the campaign. Remember,
causal events are no longer the same, so events that occur in the moives
don't happen to characters in this campaign. Some however cannot avoid
destiny. Other events still happen because no matter what, they occur
due to nature of the character, nature, or are independent of the causal
events.
Rebellion Era Synopsis
The Alliance to Restore the Republic (Rebellion) had a small
fleet that was able to keep from any major entaglements with the Imperial
fleet unless the Rebels initiated it. However, after the captuer of
Leia Organa in the Tatooine System, the Death Star destroyed Alderaan.
This drove many planets into the Rebel Camp. Soon after a hero from
the past, a Jedi and former general in the clone wars re-appeared, Obi-wan
Kenobi with a cocky Corellian and his Wookie partner saying more help would
be availabe from time to time. Aided by Clone War General Obi-Wan
Kenobi, A Jedi Knight, other Clone War officers, defectors, and former senators,
the Alliance only had one true tactical advantage over the Imperial forces,
The X-Wing starfighter.
Six months after Gen. Kenobi's return from the dead, a mysterious Jedi
aprentice appeared as well with chief Rebel Operative Han Solo and Chewbacca.
He was being trained in secret by another Jedi Master, Yoda. One
Rebel Officer, Red Group member, Biggs Darklighter reckognized him as Luke
Skyalker. This further inspired the Rebellion's cause by saying that
the last of the Jedi of the Old Republic were now standing with them as
well as the Jedi that would come to serve the future generations.
Every six months Luke Skywalker would appear just before a critical
mission, each time more powerful than the last. Eventually, the Empire
set a trap to crush the Rebellion hearing of intercepting their key plan
to destroy the Death Star and its now completed twin on station at Kuat.
Death Star I was to be on patrol through the Naboo system, when the Rebels
were going to launch against it. The Second Death Star would be there
as well, with 2 Super Star Destroyers, and dozens of other ships. Brilliant
adjustments by Adm. Ackbar, Gen. Dodnana and Gen. Riekan saw the trap being
reversed and eventaully clearing the way for Luke Skywalker to destory both
Death Stars by a little known weak spot gained from a daring raide on Coruscant
just months before.
Many systems now rebelled openly against the Empire. The Emperor
and his cadre of Dark Force users withdrew from Coruscant to the Deep Core
World of Byss. The Alliance invaded Coruscant, capturing many top
aides. A final battle was planned by Jedi Masters Yoda, Kenobi and
Skywalker to take Byss and end the war. While the fleet engaged the
last of the loyal element of the Empire in the Byss outer system, the Jedi
Masters were inserted on to Byss. Dealing easily with any force user
to face them, a horrific climatic battle took place. In the end, Darth
Vader betrayed Palpatine and became Anakin Skywalker. The Redemption
Era began.
The Redemption Era
The Redemption Era was filled with the restoration of the
principles of the Republic. Many reforms were made to make sure an
Imperial Era would never happen again. Luke Skywalker began the task
of rebuilding the Jedi Order by first redeeming the surving Dark Siders and
training the few Force-Sensitive members of the Alliance he had met.
The mop up operation takes less than five years.
Han Solo takes his task force and obliterates the Hutts for causing him
much personal pain. He then resigns his comission to live a life of
solitude as Luke Skywalker's quartermaster and shuttle pilot. President
Mon Mothma proposes to use the smugglers that helped the Alliance become
the new Trade Federation, paying no tarrifs on any good transported between
any world for flat fees but having no representation in the Senate.
Anakin Skywakler turns over much information that unearths just the scope
of the brutality of Palpatine's reign.
Five years after the Redemption, Luke Skywalker proposes forming a formal
Jedi Academy for the training of new Knights. He however is inspired
by his wife, and his sister Leia Organa to broaden his Academy to teach
all interested in methods of philosohpy, ethics, politics, public policy,
history etc. Many of the Redemption Jedi have married each other and
are now having children of their own. A new class of Jedi Knights
begins study. The Republic has normalized relations with the Hapans,
Chiss, and has welcomed the Noghri in as a member species. It is agreed
that a centralized military will be kept.
Ten yeas after the Redemption the Skywalker Academies have located branches
on Coruscant, Dathomir, Myrkr, and Ord Mantell. The Jedi train primarily
on Dathomir but are required to spend at least one semester (six months)
on Myrkr. The Republic is now led by President Reikan, a former Alliance
general. The peace and prosperity is on par with the legends of the
Old Republic.
Fifteen years after the Redemption, the Skywalker Academies have opened
up four more satelite schools and now are a fully acredited university system
with the Jedi Academy being a specialized school that teaches to all ages.
Now, most Jedi canadates are brought as children or young teens.
The Republic is now presided over by a Bothan Borsk Fey'lya. A new
generation is emerging, one that was born very late into the Rebellion
and barely remembers it. The Smugglers Trade Federation is proving
more efficient and less corrupt than the old Trade Federation of the Nemiodians.
Aproximately 75% of the known galaxy is a member world, has diplomatic
relations with, or is seeking to become a member wold of the Republic.
Twenty Years after the Redemption , a small number of Jedi have fallen
to the Dark Side and are dealt with swiftly by the remaining Jedi.
The number of adult Jedi stands aproximately at 100, with 150 or so teenagers
completing advanced studies, and close to 1000 children studying to be
Jedi. Duros Ellor Madak, a former Smuggler's Trade Federation member,
is now the president with the promise of finding more streamlined way of
moving goods of need and value from world to world. These measures
create such an interdependency that worlds no longer suffer famines.
The poverty gap actually decreased during this time. The first generation
of non-Redemption Jedi Knights graduated.

The New Jedi Order
Twenty-five years after the Redemption, a group of extra
galactic beings called the Yuuzhan Vong enter the galaxy via the remote
Tingel Arm. If not for a Jedi patrol, which lost all members but its
Master/leader, the galaxy would know nothing of this invasion. The
Yuuzhan Vong are the antithesis of the galaxy. They abhor machines,
demand sacrifices to their gods that include self-mutilation and deaths
of others. The younger generation of Jedi, now close to 200 full Jedi,
with aproximately 400 or so aprentices, and nearly 2000 children canidates,
move to stop them. The Redemption era Jedi warn against naked agression.
The Jedi are not enough to slow the superior size and new bio-technology
of the Yuuzhan Vong. They destroy or spoil several worlds and come
to control a conical section of the Tingel Arm to Hutt Space up to the Mid
Rim Worlds. It is here that the Republic Draws a line and lets many
of it's older heroes lead along with the new generation.
After finding a psychological flaw in the Yuuzhan Vong, Luke Skywalker
and Leia Organ challlenge (taunt./dare) the Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster Tsvaong
Lah and Supremem Overlord Shimrra to capture/do battle against them on the
fallen world of Dathomir. Here, Luke Skywalker reveals the true power
of the Force and the war is won.
A new Jedi Council is formed with a mixture of Redemption and New Jedi
on it. The Republic works to rebuild and the galaxy goes on without
one of its greatest heroes.
