The Rebellion needs materials currently being mined in an Imperial Facility. Rebel troops & hired 'experts' plan a joint operation to liberate the assets.
Description:
Just before the Clone Wars started, Viceroy Nute Gunray had established a secret Nova mining operation, planing to stockpile an alternate trade resource to circumvent the Banking Clan. The Clans found out, and bombed the site. Gunray was brought before the Supreme Court, but avoided penalty. The dispute was later mediated by Count Dooku, bringing the two organizations into his Confederacy. Now, under the Empire, the regional Governor has found the site and built his own mine, in an attempt to build his own riches. The Rebellion, finding it increasingly harder to fund the war effort without being traced, needs the Nova Crystal to safely conduct large trades. Both Age of Rebellion and Edge of the Empire characters are welcome in this game. Pre-generated characters are available. Registered players may be able to use existing characters.
