Introduction
*******************
It's eleven years after the battle of Endor. The New Republic has managed to
defeat the many dangers they've faced. Imperial forces have withdrawn back
into their territory, and the New Republic is safe for the moment.
But a mysterious leader has taken command of the Empire, and has restarted
the attack on the New Republic. The New Republic defenses are currently strong
enough to defend their planets, but it remains to see for how long.
Also, sudden unknown pirates from the planet Sumitra have started to strike at
both the New Republic and the Empire. The reason for the sudden attacks on
both sides are currently unknown.
It's a time where the New Republic needs heroes. Strong heroes, who'll put
their lives in danger, and even die for the Republic. The New Republic forces
must defend their planets against the evil Empire.
The Empire needs warriors to strike back. Most warriors will probably die, but
the Empire needs every person to regain their old territory, and crush the
insignificant New Republic. It's time to take revenge for Emperor Palpatine's
death.
Welcome to Heroes of Star Wars, a play-by-email adventure placed in the
exciting universe of Star Wars, created by George Lucas. As a PC, you'll be
participating in the universe as you see fit.
Do you want to be a NR pilot, striving to defeat the remnants of the Empire,
or maybe you want to be an Imperial Stormtrooper fighting for the lost honour
of the Empire. With some luck, you might be a Force-Sensitive person and able
to use the Force. Then what will you do? Will you undergo hard training by
Luke Skywalker to become a protector of the peace and the New Republic, or
will you walk the easy path, the Dark Side?
But maybe you're not interested in politics. This can also be your chance for
fortune. This war could be a way to make a living. As a Bounty Hunter or a
Smuggler, you'll undergo dangerous missions which only the best can complete,
and survive at the same time. But the thing that'll keep you going is the
credits that you'll receive. Or maybe you'll join the Pirates at Sumitra which
recently started attacking both the Empire and the New Republic for an unknown
purpose.
But you can even become an ex-Imperial officer, who decided to start on his
own, and became a warlord. As you struggle for the survival of your first
small fleet, you'll conquer your first planet, and start creating troops.
After building an impressive fleet, you'll start striking at both the Empire
or the New Republic. Or you might create a pact with one of the factions.
The choices are endless. You can do whatever you want! You have just entered
the Star Wars Universe! If you do well, you'll become a Hero of Star Wars!

Having just defeated that punk Vet Pano, I'll jump in the 'Intergalactic
Chaser' and head towards the Tattooine. Upon landing, I'll head towards the
bar to meet Zarb. If he's not there, I'll start asking around for his
location.
If he is at the bar(He better be), I'll demand the bounty for the death of
Pano. If he starts arguing about the price, or even tries to haggle, I'll
start threatening him with my blaster, as well as demanding the double. If he
doesn't comply to my demands, I'll pull the trigger. After getting all the
credits from his body, I'll flip a credit at the bartender, and tell him that
I'm sorry for the mess.

Action Report
=============
As you ran away from the New Republic base, several NR troopers storm out of
the barracks, and start pounding on you. You grunt as a bolt hits your ankle.
You quickly pull out your saber, and manage deflect the next two bolts. One
heads back at the trooper who shot. He struggles to stand on his feet, and
falls.
Some troopers panick, and start running in different directions. The stubborn
troopers who stay keep firing on you. Apparently, general Pano was more
important than you expected.
You startle as your hear the snap-hiss from a saber. As you turn in the
direction from the sound, the troopers stop shooting and take several steps
away. Walking towards you is Mazer Livar, the Light-Sider the Sith Lord warned
you about, the Jedi who killed your parents. You get in a ready position, and
start the battle with several well-placed swings. Unfortunatley, Livar is
stronger than you expect, as he is able to deflect them all your swings, and
then jabs at you. By taking several steps in the other direction, you evade
the Saber, and lock your saber with Livar's. As he looks at you, you notice
that there is some crimson in his face, and he looks at you with a look of
anger and hate, as if he's out for revenge himself.

*******************
Experience
*******************
Experience is the only RPG factor you'll find in this game, thus this game
can be easily understood by the novice RPG'ers and the more advanced players.
The more experienced a player is, the better chance it has for survival. For
example, an experienced pilot will have a better chance of destroying its
enemy target, and he is better at dodging capital ship's laser cannons. Just
like a Ship Commander with 1500 experience points has a bettter chance of
escape than a Ship Commander with 250 experience points. A player gains better
chances of survival every 1000 experience points. He literally gains a level
(so called in RPG-terms), although this ain't reported to the player. However,
It will be reported if a player receives more Experience Points. After a
player gains a level, his chances will be better for him.
Example : A Bounty Hunter with 500 experience points has a 1/4 chance of
killing an experienced Imperial Commander. But a player with 1750 experience
points has a 1/3 chance of killing the commander.
Also, if a player kills another player, the player will receive 750 experience
points + Victim exp. points - Player exp. points.
Example #1 : If a player with 1000 exp. points kills another player who has
1250 exp. points, the player will receive 750 exp. points + 250 exp. points.
Example #2 : If a player with 1000 exp. points kills another player who has
250 exp. points, the player will only receive 750 exp. points.
*Note* The Experience points from Force Users will increase twice as fast than
non-Force Users.
*******************
Health & Shields
*******************
Health is a very important factor in the game. If you lose all your health,
you die and must create a new character. Your health increases with 10 every
turn. But you can also buy shields which protect you from harm. If someone
inflicts damage on you, and you have a shield, you'll only lose shield energy.
Then there won't be any change in your health points.
Example : You get hit by a stormtrooper who inflicts 10% damage, and you
have 7% shield. You lose your 7% shield, and also lose 3% health.
*Note* The rules are the same in fleet battles, except that health is replaced
with hull.
*******************
Combat
*******************
Combat can occur during transport. Combat is being calculated easily.
Every player gets to have a try of hitting his target. The higher your
experience, the higher your chance is of hitting a target. A player, for
example, with less then 1000 experience points has a 2/5 chance of hitting the
target. The higher the speed from a player's Star Fighter, the higher the
chance that your opponent misses you.
Everyone has a 1/3 chance of encountering a pirate during transport, unless
you're a pirate yourself. A pirate has a 1/4 chance of encountering either a
X-wing or a Tie-Fighter during transport. If you're transporting to an enemy
planet, there's a 4/5 chance of being attacked by local security.
*******************
Classes
*******************
These are the classes you need. If you have an idea for a new class, please
e-mail burrie@dds.nl.
1) Pilots
Pilots are able to fly in Star Fighters, and will very often take part in
fleet battles. New Republic pilots start the game with X-wings, and Imperial
Pilots with Tie Fighters. Both sides start with a R2-unit.
2) Troopers
Troopers are needed to take over planets, and destroy bases. Troopers must
take part in fleet battles. New Republic and Imperial troopers start the game
with a shuttle and a rifle.
3) Ship Commanders
Ship Commanders are in command of a capital ship, and must take part in fleet
battles. New Republic and Imperial Ship Commanders use their own capital ship
as transport.
4) Bounty Hunters
Bounty Hunters, often called scum of the galaxy. Bounty Hunters can take
jobs, and won't take part in fleet battles. Bounty Hunters are able to be
neutral. If a Bounty Hunter is on the Imperial side he can receive jobs from
the Empire. However, all his jobs must benefit the Empire. Bounty Hunters can
choose and create their own ship.
5) Smugglers
Being a smuggler is a dangerous profession. As a smuggler, you'll have to
smuggle stuff, contraband, and weapons most of the time. But escaping from
Star Destroyers whilst you smuggle spice right under noses has been described
as having the best adrenaline rush of your life. And surviving such an attack
pays very, VERY well! Smugglers won't take part in fleet battles. Smugglers
are able to be neutral. If a Bounty Hunter is on the New Republic side, he'll
be in the Smuggler Alliance. If he's on the Imperial side, he'll very often
smuggle contraband and weapons for the Empire
6) Pirates
Many pirates have joined under one group, and started raids on both sides.
They often refer to themselves as the real scum of the galaxy. A pirate must
attack every enemy ship he encounters. Pirates can also stay neutral. If a
pirate is on the New Republic side, he'll only attack Imperial ships. Pirate
must engage ships, and capture ships, as well. Pirates are required to fly in
Z-95s during combat, but must get their own weapons. Z-95 pilots are unable
to eject. The pirates start the game with a Z-95 and a RP2-unit.
7) Warlords
As the Empire lost the battle of Endor, they also lost most of their most
genious commanders. Several of these became warlords, and took command of
several vessels, and started their own empire. Warlords are always neutral.
Warlords can buy anything anywhere, no matter where he is. See topic 'First
warlord ships' for more information about becoming a warlord. Warlords use
their flagship as transportation. Only one warlord at a time is allowed.
8) Jedi Knight / Dark Jedi
After the Battle of Endor, both the New Republic and the Empire have started
to rebuild the order of the Jedi. The New Republic Jedi Master Luke Skywalker
started a Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, 7 years after the Battle of Endor. An
unknown Sith Lord recently started a Dark Jedi Academy on the desolate planet
of Calaron, and started beckoning Light Side students from Yavin 4 to Calaron.
Sadly, several students heard the call and answered it. A player becomes a
Jedi Knight or a Dark Jedi after completing his Jedi training. His affliation
depends on his morale. His starting morale depends on his chosen Academy, and
his actions during the training.
*NOTE* Player are NOT allowed to choose to become a Jedi Knight. One has got
to be lucky enough to be a Force-sensitive person.
*******************
Force Users
*******************
The force is only available for a few players. There's a 1/4 chance for every
player to have the force. A force user is able to use several powers, and can
enchance his skills faster than normal users. You don't know from the
beginning if you're a force user. You'll need to hear so from another force
user. You must then visit Yavin or Calaron. You MUST end your turn at one of
those planets. You'll then start training with Luke Skywalker or the
mysterious Dark Lord at Calaron. This might take very long at Yavin, several
weeks, maybe even months, but never a whole year. You might take the easy
path at Calaron, and learn the ways of the Dark Side, but remember : You'll
be very powerful, but might also be a slave like Darth Vader.
The choice of your academy is also important. If you're a bounty hunter, and
you've learned the ways of the force at Yavin, then there's a higher chance
that your allignment will shift towards the New Republic.
The following Force powers are available during the game. However, the Force
Power in this list are only examples. You're allowed to use the Force for
many ways!
Neutral powers
==============
Force speed : Player can escape from every situation.
Force pull : Player can be used to grab/steal weapons from other
players
Force seeing : Reduces chance of players being attacked by other
players.
Lightsaber Throw : The force user can use the lightsaber from a distance,
and has a 4/9 chance of hitting the target.
Force Distraction : Increases the player's chance to kill a target without
engaging him in combat, or to escape encounters.
Force Sense : Players are able to sense other force users with this
force power.
Light Side powers
=================
*Healing : All your wounds will be healed.
Blinding : Paralyzes enemies, and they'll flee.
Control emotions : Lets the player control his emotions, thus making him
immune against Dark fears and Unleash Anger.
Protection : Gives the player bonus shields. The shields dissapear
after the turn.
Dark Side powers
================
Force Grip : If the player attacks or is attacked, the attacker won't
be able to submit for one turn.
Lighting bolts : If the player attacks or is attacked, there's a 1/4
chance the attacker/victim is kiled. He will already be
seriously injured though.
Dark fears : This power probes the mind of your opponent, and uses his
deepest fears against him, which will reduce your
opponents combat effectiveness.
Unleash Anger : This power brings out the worst in your opponents, they'll
lash out with all their anger. Opposing Jedi's will be
drawn towards the dark side with this power. It doesn't
have any effect against non-force sensitives, except that
he'll fight much harder.
* = When you heal your wounds, you'll go in a Jedi trance, and will be unable
to do anything during the rest of the turn.
*******************
Planets available
*******************
If you're an Imperial player, and you're visiting, or travelling a New
Republic planet, there's a 1/2 chance you'll be attacked by New Republic
forces, the same goes vica versa. A neutral player has a 1/3 chance to be
attacked on a non-neutral planet. All non-pirates have a 5/7 chance of being
attacked on Sumitra. The player will stop all his actions on Sumitra and will
flee the planet. If you have ideas for other planets, please mail
burrie@dds.nl.
Again, the planets on this list are only examples. You will probably also
visit other planets.

12) Dreighton Triangle[Neutral]
===============================
The Dreighton Triangle is the most mysterious part of space. Strange
dissapearances have been reported about ships vanishing without trace.
There have also been reports from X-wings being attacked by A-wings. Another
story told by many is about gigantic fleets, filled with even more gigantic
ships, three times larger than a Super Star Destroyer. The greatest rumor of
all, and the main reason for many adventurers to be there is the rumor about
an empty fleet filled with gigantic ships. Both the New Republic and the
Empire searches hard for these ships, and will both buy the fleet for a very
large sum of credits. Many Bounty Hunters and Pirates search desperatley for
the fleet, either for hoping to receive the large sum, or to start their own
Empire.
*******************
Ships
*******************
Explanation attack strength laser/ion cannon
============================================
Laser cannons are for destroying targets, Ion cannons for disabling targets.
If ship #1 with attack strength 12 hits ship #2, then ship #2 will lose
12% shield. If ship #2 doesn't have any shield left, then it'll lose hull
power.
Example : An A-WING hits an assault shuttle which has 5% shield. The shuttle
will lose all his shields, and 5% hull.
Note : If a starfighter attacks a capital ship with laser cannons, then attack
strength(laser cannon) must be divided with 10.
New Republic Star Fighters
==========================
X-WING
Attack strength (Laser cannon) : 16
Attack strength (Ion cannon) : 0
Increase shield energy : 5
Speed : 10
Hyperdrive : Yes
Designed by the Incom Corporation, the T-65 X-wing is a small, single-pilot
starfighter with exceptional maneuverability. Mostly used for escorting or
covering ships.
Y-WING
Attack strength (Laser cannon) : 10
Attack strength (Ion cannon) : 8
Increase shield energy : 5
Speed : 7
Hyperdrive : Yes
The older, twin-engine Y-wing still sees lots of action in the New Republic
fleet. Mostly used for heavy assault, reconnaissance, and capturing ships
missions.
A-WING
Attack strength (Laser cannon) : 10
Attack strength (Ion cannon) : 0
Increase shield energy : 5
Speed : 14
Hyperdrive : Yes
The A-wing is a lightweight, extremely quick and agile starfighter. It was
crafted to be the Alliance's solution to the new and faster TIE models. Mostly
used for hit-and-fade missions.
B-WING
Attack strength (Laser cannon) : 16
Attack strength (Ion cannon) : 12
Increase shield energy : 9
Speed : 12
Hyperdrive : Yes
The unusual looking B-wing fighter was conceived by Admiral Ackbar to be a new
generation of heavy assault starfighter. Can be used for all missions.
Imperial Star Fighters
====================
Note : If you're travelling with a Star Fighter without hyperdrive, then you
must pay 10 credits per transport.
Tie Fighter
Attack strength (Laser cannon) : 10
Attack strength (Ion cannon) : 0
Increase shield energy : 0
Speed : 10
Hyperdrive : No
Tie fighters make up the bulk of all Imperial starfighter corps. The small
craft has no life support, mechanism, shield generators, or hyperdrive making
them cheap to produce in large numbers. Mostly used for covering and escorting
ships.
Tie Interceptor
Attack strength (Laser cannon) : 16
Attack strength (Ion cannon) : 0
Increase shield energy : 0
Speed : 15
Hyperdrive : No
An improvement over the original Tie design, the interceptor incorporates the
bent wing solar panels and mounts four laser cannons instead of the original
two. It lacks shield generators, hyperdrives, and life support systems. Mostly
used for Hit-and-fade and assault missions.
Tie Bomber
Attack strength (Laser cannon) : 10
Attack strength (Ion cannon) : 6
Increase shield energy : 0
Speed : 7
Hyperdrive : No
A special purpose Tie model, the Tie bomber has two pods contained between
bent wing solar panels. One pod contains the pilot and gunner, and is used
to control the craft. The secondary pod contains the starfighter's weapon
suite. Mostly used for heavy assault, and capturing ships missions.
Tie Defender
Attack strength (Laser cannon) : 20
Attack strength (Ion cannon) : 0
Increase shield energy : 5
Speed : 13
Hyperdrive : Yes
The Tie defender marks a departure from the normal line of Imperial fighter
design. It is one of few production fighters to be equipped with both a shield
and hyperdrive system. It's a dangerous adversary to any New Republic
fighters. Can be used on all missions.
Pirate Star Fighter
===================
Z-95
Attack strength (Laser cannon) : 15
Attack strength (Ion cannon) : 5
Increase shield energy : 6
Speed : 12
Hyperdrive : Yes
The Z-95 starfighter is a strong combat fighter, originaly used for the
atmosphere of planets. The fighter has been modified by the pirates to be
used in space. Pirates have also modified the Z-95 to land on ships, thus the
pilot can board a ship as well. The pirates have also added ion cannons. The
pirates, however, had to remove the eject options. They think that's logical,
because to have an eject button is to admit defeat. The pirates use the ships
for raids on ships.
Shuttle
=======
Shuttle
Attack strength (Laser cannon) : 7
Attack strength (Ion cannon) : 0
Increase shield energy : 2
Speed : 10
Hyperdrive : Yes
The shuttle is the main transport for civilians. The shuttle, though, won't be
attacked very often
Assault Shuttle
Attack strength (Laser cannon) : 11
Attack strength (Ion cannon) : 0
Increase shield energy : 5
Speed : 13
Hyperdrive : Yes
The assault shuttle is also a main transport for civilians. The transport is
more armored and has stronger weapons. The assault shuttle will be attacked
more often than a shuttle.
Explanation attack strength laser cannon/turbolaser
===================================================
Laser cannons are used for fighters, turbolasers for capital ships.
For information about the laser cannons, read 'explanation attack strength
