			      ******************
			      THE EMPEROR'S WILL
			      ******************

After the reprisal campaign led by Vice-Admiral Thrawn, Emperor Palpatine has
returned to his Coruscant Palace and is initiating the second phase of his
plan to eradicate once and for all the Rebel Alliance. To this end His
Highness wants the Black Sun to side with us officially; indeed this crime
organization is about to be the most powerful in the galaxy.
It is led by Dark Prince Xizor, and its numerous ramifications in the
underworld allow it to control almost every pirate and smuggler guild
throughout the known regions. Moreover its spy network has no cause to be
jealous of the Imperial one, and its fleet keeps increasing every month.
Therefore it might be a useful ally.
However Lord Vader has a very different opinion about "this latest Emperor's
craze", thinking that Xizor's interests are not compatible with Imperial's...


You can play this new battle on the Empire's side only, 6 to 8 players.
