New Republic: Department of Special Operations is a campaign setting for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game set during the final years of the Rebel Alliance and the formation of the New Republic. The adventures take place immediately following the Battle of Endor but before the invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong.
Each adventure in the Department of Special Operations campaign will be layered to accomodate players of different levels, though the recomended starting level is level three.
Each Hero should have a background that somehow links them to the Rebel Alliance, whether it be as a full fledged Rebel, a mercenary, or anything in between. Each player should also develop some motives for working with such an organization, though this may be as simple as the monetary rewards that may come with service in the Rebel militia.
With the GameMaster's permission, players may also work for another party interested in the elimination of the Empire. Examples of such organizations include the Hutt cartels, the Black Sun, one of the many existing pirate fleets, and various other aggrssive, and less-than-lawful associations.
