The Basics

Star Wars: Imperial Shadows MUSH (IS MUSH) is a text-based online roleplaying game set in the Rebellion era of the Star Wars universe. For an introduction to MUSH games and how they are played, please refer to our "MUSH 101" guide.

Our story unfolds on Lothal, a planet in the Outer Rim Territories. The timeline commences in 0 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin), immediately following the Empire's retreat from a now ecologically devastated and resource-depleted Lothal. Liberated by the Spectres, an early Rebel cell featured in the animated series Star Wars Rebels, Lothal navigates its uncertain future as a 'Free World.' Although no longer dominant, the Empire's influence continues to be felt, Imperial Shadows cast upon a world in fear of its return.

Yet, peace remains elusive. Many pro-Imperial corporations persist, operating remote factories that continue to produce military hardware for the Empire. The underworld thrives, capitalizing on a planet that had grown reliant on its illicit services. Rebel cells and agents continue to counter the Empire's remnants, even as the Rebellion's attention remains focused on a much broader war. Amidst these turbulent forces, countless civilians endure the chaos, choose sides, and strive for survival.

-Our focus is the planet Lothal in the Outer Rim Territories. Our timeline begins 0 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin), just after the Empire has been defeated and sent fleeing from what is now an ecologically ruined and resource-stripped world. Newly liberated by the Spectres, an early cell of the Rebellion, Lothal now faces an uncertain future as a 'Free World' (the events surrounding Lothal's liberation are the subject of the Disney animated series Star Wars Rebels). Although no longer dominant, the Empire's influence continues to be felt, Imperial Shadows cast upon a world in fear of its return.

-However, Peace remains a Lie. Many pro-Imperial corporations have not fled, remote factories churning out military hardware at a reduced rate and with reduced security. The underworld, so often moving in ways beneficial to the Emperor, continues to thrive upon a world that had become dependent upon its services. Rebel cells and agents continue to fight the Empire's influence, even as the Rebellion's attention remains focused elsewhere in the galaxy. And in between all of these conflicting powers, hundreds of millions of civilians brave the chaos, take sides, and live for tomorrow.
