A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

 

It is a galaxy in turmoil...

The evil GALACTIC EMPIRE rules with a hand of injustice and tyranny, imposing the will of the Emperor on thousands of terrified worlds. The Old Republic is gone, as are the Jedi Knights, the defenders of peace throughout the galaxy. The EMPIRE tries all it can to maintain order throughout their influence but as the NEW ORDER increases in size so do the number of officers willing to use the new power for their own ends...

 

In the midst of all this strife, in the MID-RIM where many planets have not yet been affected by the new ruling evil, a young man, SKEET JONAS, takes his first steps into the vastness of the EMPIRE to find fame and fortune...
