The rain-slick streets gleam like silver on a circuit board and holographic signs paint the metroplexes in a river of neon. Your current home, Carannia, the capital city of Serenno, stretches as far as the eye can see, from the toxic coast to the city limits where the walls keep the wasteland from encroaching. Despite plentiful and abundant Imperial technology, most people continue to live as cogs in the machine of Zsinj’s Empire, distracted from their ineffectual lives by slick consumerism and invasive media. New Republic? Never knew you.
You’re a cyberpunk, a desperate individual with valuable skills, willing to put your life on the line in return for a few thousand credits, reputation, or leverage. With a lot of effort and a little luck, you may survive the dangerous streets long enough to fulfill your goals and escape this stinking planet.
This game is part of the ongoing Star Wars Saturdays series. The time setting is after the end of the original trilogy when the Empire is falling and the Alliance to Restore the Republic is taking control in fits and starts. If you’ve seen the Mandalorian Disney+ series, that’s a good idea of when this takes place. However, the setting is a high tech world, because it’s cyberpunk!
