Sidewinder Stories (Campaign)

“Hey guys, you want to play Star Wars again?” -Jacob Swift


The Sidewinder Stories are a series of Star Wars Roleplaying Game Revised Edition campaign arcs, spanning over forty years in the Expanded Universe (Legends) timeline. Starting in 2 BBY on the campaign-canon planet Saulapran, with a focus on the key events of the Original Triology, players are given the opportunity to manage minor influences on the Timeline.

The campaign was planned out over the course of four months and written out to adapt to the decisions of players, without straying from the established Expanded Universe timeline. Since its first session, the campaign expanded to include more than twelve players and seven different sub-arcs within the main campaign.

Campaign Summary____________________________________________________________
Small decisions lead to big consequences. The Galaxy hangs on the small choices made by unknowing and sometimes unwilling heroes, all the while they are overlooked by those who are given the spotlight of history. But when the gloriously acclaimed are met with difficulties, they turn to those heroes they know and trust, and move with the decisions made on the side. These sidewinders of fate flit in and out of legends, influencing the flow of history with the weight of small stones numbering in the millions. These tales cover the events of the Sidewinder Stories.

Story Setup_______________________________________________________________________
The Sidewinder Stories campaign is an over-arching campaign that covers multiple storylines, called ‘Arcs’, that player characters explore while the Main Arc continues on the Timeline. Other arcs that occur in the campaign are called Side Arcs, which typically follow the current events of the Main Arc but involve a different group or individual characters, or Solo Arcs that show different time periods with events relevant to the Main Arc storyline.

The Main Arc begins with a focus on the heavily-modified Corellian Corvette Sidewinder, captained by Olto Gabin, giving orders to his Field Group of mercenaries. Within this Field Group are Lina Horada-Wessiri, Votosh Khall, Mardek Plot’pek, Beak, Wrrlporrin, and Mik Suillacosta, later joined by Taran Scarn.
