The Empire is too large to rule its citizens fairly.
Central government often ignores, neglects or even
forgets about issues on distant worlds, even when
they are seen by the local inhabitants as critical. Calls
for improved democracy, alien rights, lower taxation,
the tackling of corruption or even the supply of basic
services can remain unheard for years, resulting in an
increasingly unruly populace. This leads to protests,
responded to by oppression, which triggers violence,
prompting retaliatory crackdowns and, eventually, the
powder keg explodes into rebellion and civil war.
This is a rebel force led by a former Imperial Army
officer who has brought his experience and training to
produce a coherent, if poorly equipped, body of men,
women and aliens. Although the force lacks heavy
weaponry, its capabilities are augmented by the
presence of two powerful rogue psionicists.
