The second Outer Sectors campaign has the Galactic Empire pitted as ever against the Rebellion. The basic plot of the campaign is that then Lieutenant Tiberius Fel is given orders from then Rear Admiral Junon to infiltrate the Rebellion in the Outer Sectors in order to learn about an initially enigmatic threat to the security of the Galactic Empire. The campaign is the basis for a GE-wide competition involving custom missions made specifically for the campaign and an opportunity for participants to earn points by completing missions, writing fictions and engaging in other activities. A summary of the story thus far is presented below on a chapter by chapter basis:

 

Chapter 1 (Training) – Lieutenant Fel visits the Imperial Academy, where training exercises are conducted.

Chapter 2 (The Unthinkable) – Lieutenant Fel and his fellow squadron mates at the Imperial Academy stage a defection to the Rebellion.

Chapter 3 (Under False Flags) – Lieutenant Fel completes a mission against pirates on behalf of the Rebellion to cement their trust in him.

Chapter 4 (Research Rescue) – Lieutenant Fel participates in the rescue of three scientists held captive by Warlord Harrsk, an Imperial warlord loathed by both Rebels and Imperials outside Harrsk’s control.

Chapter 5 (Convoy Cover) – Lieutenant Fel participates in the escort of a mysterious convoy group.

Chapter 6 (Seek and Destroyed) – Lieutenant Fel participates in the search for a location to deploy a secret Rebel project.

Chapter 7 (A Fine Line) – Lieutenant Fel participates in a mission to harass an Imperial patrol under the command of Warlord Harrsk.

Chapter 8 (Honesty) – Lieutenant Fel discovers the truth about the rescued scientists.

Chapter 9 (Choices) – Lieutenant Fel faces a difficult decision when trapped by the GE’s only Interdictor Cruiser, the INT Red Claw II.

Chapter 10 (Nightmares) – Lieutenant Fel laments his decision to destroy the INT Red Claw II, but contends it was justified to avoid revealing his role as Imperial spy.

Chapter 11 (Revelation) – Renzen makes a discovery regarding the activities of the Rebellion.

Chapter 12 (The Legend) – The threat from the Rebellion becomes very clear.

 

These synopses are relatively crude and do not represent the full extent of the story compiled for Outer Sectors II. The full story is posted on one of the forums specially made for the Outer Sectors II campaign. These forums also contain details about the rules for the GE-wide Outer Sectors II competition.

 

Also note that a number of Outer Sectors II fictions are included with this newsletter. Those marked as “Unassigned” where chapters where a mission was assigned to the contributor’s unit rather than a fiction, but they chose to submit a fiction for additional points in the competition.
