The four of you stand together in your commander's frankenstein of a ship, prepared to board your drop pods, and plan you assault against the remnants of the Empire.
Unfortunately, the commander's ship was detected in space, and had to evade attackers. The Empire knows you're coming.
Many of you are not soldiers; but you understood the risk you were signing up for when you joined the Rebels. Although you will have no support, your drop pods are stocked with weapons, supplies, and schematics to help you succeed.
It is likely some of you will not survive.
(Although it is possible nonviolent pawns might find a rebel faction worth joining, they would not be selected for such a dangerous field operation like this. It is recommended to re-roll such pawns.)
Your faction will be a New Arrivals.
Start with 4 people, chosen from 8.
Your people will be between 17 and 35 years old.
Arrive in drop pods.
