Prompt: 30 years have past since the death of Emperor Palpatine and the collapse of his Empire. Leaving the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and the New Republic to war with each other over control of the galaxy. But beyond the borders of known space, behind the veil of alien stars, the imperial warlords who had retreated into the unknown had created a new government, the First Order. At first both the Brotherhood and Republic dismissed them as a trivial Remnant of a dead empire, that was until their super weapon marked the end of the Republic’s center of government leaving it in disarray.

What was your character’s reaction to the arrival of the First Order from the Unknown Regions and how did their display of sudden military power affect them and or others they know?
