Dark Empire Sourcebook (Star Wars RPG) Paperback – June 1, 1993

Following the deaths of Darth Vader and the Emperor and the destruction of the second Death Star, the Rebel Alliance proclaimed a New Republic over three-fourths of the Galaxy.

But without the thousands of Jedi Knights who formed the backbone of the Old Republic, the new confederation was a precarious one. Long years of struggle ensued, during which Imperial factions consolidated control over a fourth of the Galaxy. Whole systems became fortresses, bristling with firepower.

Then, five years after the Battle of Endor, the infamous Grand Admiral Thrawn mounted a deft assault, nearly bringing the fledgling Republic to its knees. Ultimately, Thrawn was defeated. But, within days of Thrawn's downfall, surviving members of the Emperor's Ruling Council staged a stunning assault on Coruscant, and the vital Imperial. System once again fell under Imperial control.

It seemed certain that a new Empire was about to emerge from the ashes of the old. That very possibility triggered a ferocious war among the numerous Imperial factions. Who would sit in the Emperor's throne? Who had the right — and the might?

Meanwhile, the Rebels were quick to seize the opportunity to sow confusion among the feuding Imperials, using captured Star Destroyers to conduct hit-and-run sorties into the war zones. During one such mission, Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight, learns more of the Dark Side and its hold over his family. He finds hints of an ominous destiny for him and for the children of his sister, Leia. An enemy long thought defeated has returned — an individual imbued with all the power of the Dark Side itself! As long-cherished plans fall into place, new and exotic war machines move against the Republic. A Dark Empire has arisen...

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best.

One of the best RPG books for the West End version of Star Wars. Covers all the important facets of the Dark Empire comics. And gives you a glimpse of Luke and all the others when they become really powerful in the future. New ships to fly and places for gamers to go. A good read even if not a gamer.

The art work is amazing but the story is ambiguous and darker than most Star Wars Material I have reed; likeable and a much more interesting turn of events than those depicted in the prequel films.

4.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate guide to Dark Empire characters and situations.
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 1999
If you're a nut for the facts and figures behind Star Wars stories - like I am - and if you reckon Dark Empire is the best-ever Star Wars story outside of the films - like I do! - you can't go past West End Games' Dark Empire Sourcebook. It's the perfect companion to the Dark Horse Comics series, profiling the humans, aliens, planets and technology that appear in it. While it's primarily intended as a resource for the Dark Empire roleplaying game, non-gamers will get just as much satisfaction out of the fascinating in-depth information. To top off a fine compendium, full-colour glossy pages showcase Dave Dorman's stunning cover art from the comic series. Buy - there is no try!
