. A terrible civil war burns throughout the . .
galaxy: a rag-tag group of freedom fighters . .
. . has risen from beneath the dark shadow of the .
. . evil monster the Galactic Empire has become. .
. Imperial forces have instituted a reign of . .
terror, and every weapon in its arsenal has been
. turned upon the Rebels and their allies: tyranny, . .
. oppression, vast fleets, overwhelming armies, and fear. . .
. . Fear keeps the individual systems in line, and is the .
prime motivator of the New Order. .
. Outnumbered and outgunned, the Rebellion burns across the . .
. vast reaches of space and a thousand-thousand worlds, with only .
. their great courage - and the mystical power known as the Force -
flaming a fire of hope. .
This is a galaxy of wondrous aliens, bizarre monsters, strange .
. Droids, powerful weapons, great heroes, and terrible villains. It is a
galaxy of fantastic worlds, magical devices, vast fleets, awesome machi- .
nery, terrible conflict, and unending hope. . .
