Description:

"The Clone Wars ended abruptly with the transmission of the C.I.S. Master Control Signal in 19 BBY, yet the Galactic Emperor’s promised peace and security has not come to the Galaxy. The Galactic Empire spreads its reach out from Coruscant, Kuat, Fondor, and Eriadu as far as the Imperial Navy can penetrate while the Moffs consolidate control of their sectors. Rebellion simmers, spreading its revolutionary influence throughout the Galactic Senate to Core World elites & Outer Rim paupers alike. The Black Sun and other criminal organizations flourish in the shadow of moons and backwater worlds. The Hutts have become bolder in their activities, clashing openly with all who they perceive to be violating their borders. Rumors fly from the long-isolated Hapes Consortium of the Queen-Mother’s intent to expand her dominions in the Republic’s absence. The scattered planets and organizations which once comprised the Confederacy of Independent Systems continue to resist the New Order defiantly, particularly in the Outer Rim. Even in the ranks of the Emperor’s most loyal Clone Trooper corps, disillusionment is spreading.

The Dark Times are here. Even as the worlds of the former Republic are drawn into the iron grip of Palpatine’s Empire, the galaxy seems adrift in a sea of chaos, lawlessness, and despair. Civil War on a scale never-seen before is upon the horizon; from the Deep Core to the smallest backwaters of Wild Space…"

Galactic Expansion is a Sub-sub-mod for Awakening of the Rebellion & Dark Times focused on expanding and correcting the Galactic Map for increased immersion, tactical flexibility, and greater scale-of-conflict. It is, like Dark Times, set in the years-following the events of STAR WARS: Revenge of the Sith. In addition, an increasingly-large roster of units, structures, heros, and planets have had their icons changed/adjusted for greater accuracy, consistency, and immersion.

Just as with the Dark Times submod, Galactic Expansion is and will remain a work-in-progress for the foreseeable future. Future updates are in-development to fill gaps, correct inconsistencies, and increase immersion in one of the most interesting periods of galactic history.
