Time Period:
After Endor, 1-2yrs. Empire withering and fractured. The True Galactic Empire and the First Galactic Empire are the primary inheritors, while independent Imperial Warlord fiefdoms have also sprung up. The Rebel Alliance has began it's fragile transition to the New Republic, complete with it's own set of difficulties besides lingering Imperial support and forces.
One-Man Factions:
Probably, we will be doing one man factions - you run you're own little empire. Initial size of each faction will be 10-15 worlds. I will try to put together a simple app for managing empire (you can build units, assign them to worlds, collect taxes, pay maintenance costs, etc without having to track it all yourself) - the app won't be ready day one, though. Unlimited # of units under your command.
If we get a lot of interest, we will try to go multi-player factions. Then we will do 2-3 ships per player.
