DescriptionIt's eleven years after the battle of Endor. The New Republic has managed to defeat the many dangers they've faced. Imperial forces have withdrawn back into their territory, and the New Republic is safe for the moment. But a mysterious leader has taken command of the Empire, and has restarted the attack on the New Republic. The New Republic defenses are currently strong enough to defend their planets, but it remains to see for how long. Also, sudden unknown pirates from the planet Sumitra have started to strike at both the New Republic and the Empire. The reason for the sudden attacks on both sides are currently unknown. It's a time where the New Republic needs heroes. Strong heroes, who'll put their lives in danger, and even die for the Republic. The New Republic forces must defend their planets against the evil Empire. The Empire needs warriors to strike back. Most warriors will probably die, but the Empire needs every person to regain their old territory, and crush the insignificant New Republic. It's time to take revenge for Emperor Palpatine's death. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Heroes of Star Wars, a play-by-email adventure placed in the exciting universe of Star Wars, created by George Lucas. As a PC, you'll be participating in the universe as you see fit. Do you want to be a NR pilot, striving to defeat the remnants of the Empire, or maybe you want to be an Imperial Stormtrooper fighting for the lost honour of the Empire. With some luck, you might be a Force-Sensitive person and able to use the Force. Then what will you do? Will you undergo hard training by Luke Skywalker to become a protector of the peace and the New Republic, or will you use the easy way, the Dark Side? But maybe you're not interested in politics. This can also be your chance for fortune. As a Bounty Hunter or a Smuggler, you'll undergo dangerous missions which only the best can complete, and survive at the same time. But the thing that'll keep you going is the credits. Or maybe you'll join the Pirates at Sumitra which recently started attacking both the Empire and the New Republic for a strange and unknown purpose. But you can even become an old Imperial officer, who decided to start on his own, and became a warlord. As you struggle for the survival of your first small fleet, you'll conquer your first planet, and start creating troops. After building an impressive fleet, you'll start striking at both the Empire or the New Republic. Or you might create a pact with one of the factions. The choices are endless. You can do whatever you want! You have just entered the Star Wars Universe! If you do well, you'll become a Hero of Star Wars! Several weeks after the HoSW went on, all slots were filled and there was already an impressive number of players on the waiting list. |
