The Death Star is no more. The flaming shards of the Empire's once proudest display of military strength disintegrate into the atmosphere of Yavin and with it go the highest leaders of the Imperial military beaucracy. The meagar strength of the Rebel forces strike the opening blow in a battle that will eventually encapsulate the entire Galaxy.

Two months have passed since an event which in one singular moment brought to every creature's attention the existence of war, a war that will engulf the lives of every single being in the Star System. From the Outer Rim to the main hub of Coruscant a breath is drawn, a pause. What will happen next? Where will next conflict start...when will the war begin?

Mos Ethna, Tatooine: noon
Commader Sarkis sat as his desk going over the latest intelligence reports coming over the classified commlinks. The entire Empire seemed to be under virtual lockdown as the enormity of the situation gradually sunk into a system, already, very resistent to change. Knowledge of the Rebels whereabouts seemed to be both rumor and speculation. What's more is there seemed to have been no rumor of further conflict from the Rebellion. Yes, a disturbance here and there: a few stormtroopers found slain in the local garrison in Bestine, rumors of some sort of Rebel build up in a small town called Anchorhead way to the south, but nothing really substantial. The Galaxy seemed too quiet, almost as if it was anticipating something...anything.
The answer to that wait came not in rush, but a whisper.

Sarkis liked being on top of things. Even on such a far away place as Mos Ethna, Tatooine he always felt a perogative to keep an old radar detector on a bookcase nearby. The old item was half broke from use and every circle of the update brought with it an internal click from some electrical problem. With the radar Sarkis could watch the local Starport shuttle take off and the shuttles come and go along with various craft heading to somewhere other than Mos Ethna. It seemed people were always leaving this no end dead beat town at the end of nowhere.

When Sarkis glanced up at the familiar tick he noticed something quite different from the regular blips on the LCD display: dots...hundreds of dots. They were coming from the north east, in strict battle formation, and they were descending upon Mos Ethna rapidly. This was no regular occurance.

"I didn't send any troops out and we've long since quelled the threat of the Tuskans..." The realization dawned on him at the same time as the blaring warning alarms of an incoming enemy force rang out across the garrison and the town...the Rebellion.

On the long sands of Tatooine, under the cover of hills which provided great camoflague, they came...a Rebel force the size of which dwarfed the town of Mos Ethna: the first open strike of the forces of the Rebellion.

Please join us at the above date and location as we create the Galactic Civil War of Starsider! The official battle will begin at 3:00pm, but I encourage you to check out the battlefield early.

Below you will find some additional information regarding Battlefields in Star Wars Galaxies. I encourage you to also test out your battle strategy on the field of battle. The Starsider community looks forward to your attendance! If you have any questions/concerns please do not hesitate to get into contact with me!

*You do not need to be covert or overt rebel/ imperial to join the battle. When you enter the arena, it asks you as you enter the battlefield which side you wish to join, all you have to do is pick.

*If you die, you do not go back to a cloning facility, you only get teleported outside of the arena. You also do not get those god awful wounds from being killed, nor do you lose anything on your body. You merely cannot enter the arena until the battle is over.

*Artisan! You can do something on the battlefield! If you have artisan skills, you are able to use the construction maker to build walls, turrets, rebel barracks, and more! It doesn't cost anything either. All it takes is construction points that the construiction makers have, which regenerate over time.

*Don't feel you'll do much damage? Don't worry! As long as you have an Artisan to build a barracks for your side, you can check out rebel commandos/ Stormtroopers for a mere 10 faction points! Note, the barracks take time to "make" another rebel, so you may have to wait for it to regenerate.

*Faction points for winning! If your side is succesful in defeating the other side, you get faction points for doing so. A lot funner than doing destroy missions for those points if you ask me.
