Star Wars: Mask of Tyranny
-
Star Wars: Mask of Tyranny is a text-based, collaborative roleplaying game set four years before the Battle of Yavin. It picks up at the beginning of Andor Season 2, but does not follow the stories we already know. Instead, MoT focuses on the people history never wrote about: the smugglers, informants, and small rebel cells whose choices shaped the Rebellion long before Luke Skywalker ever left Tatooine.
The Empire holds the galaxy in a tight grip, the ISB watches everything, COMPNOR rewrites history, and the Inquisitorius hunts what remains of a fallen Order.
But the cracks are showing, and every crackdown creates a martyr. Every small success chips at the myth that the Empire cannot be beaten.
Welcome to the fight.

We have officially been open for a week, and the game is booming! MoT has welcomed 21 new players to the grid already with a few more considering their character concepts.
There are plots on-going and some on the horizon. Tensions on Daiyu are heating up as the sector’s Moff has gotten impatient and there is notable activity from the Imperial garrison.
A devastating “accident” on Daiyu’s mag-rails has scatted metal and debris throughout the Ashhollow Expanse. Scavengers are looking to find riches to sell in the Scrapfield markets. How brave are they, now, to slip past Imperial patrols while the wreck is being slowly cleaned up?
Rumors of a missing rebel cell leader is trickling out among the Coalition and Daiyu Partisans. Last seen heading to Beldarone which had a cell of its own that has gone quiet on the back channels.
All four factions (Coalition, Partisans, Independent, and Underground) have plenty of members to mingle with and ample room for more.
Come and say hello!

Three months in and we have a robust cast of characters! Along with multiple current events and plots on-going, Mounts are being introduced to the system and a new planet will open up on the grid with a shorter sub-plot as an introduction.
But players aren’t just limited to what planets are listed in ‘Locations’. It is a living grid that is effected by the playerbase. Things like the Cron Drift Asteroid Belt has been added due to the actions of the Partisans, for example. The galaxy is your playground.
Here are just some of the current events and still many more to come!
Changing of the Guard - Tavren Pashe, the founder and leader of the Coalition, has been confirmed MIA presumed KIA. With his last act as a freedom fighter taking place on Beldarone, the Coalition and their allies are facing a mystery of what happened to him, why, and if they can fix what is broken. But with the Beldaroni being naturally isolationist, progress has been slow and stymied.
Rising Tensions - After numerous counter-attacks against Imperial movement on Daiyu, the Partisans have successfully moved the needle when it comes to sabotage and aggression. Several missions have put a dent in the Empire’s grip on Daiyu, but have also brought on unwanted attention and scrutiny. They are currently assembling a hidden asteroid base in the Cron Drift, preparing to further escalate the battlefronts with stolen and salvaged starfighters in order to take their efforts to the skies and beyond Daiyu itself.
The Houses Always Win - On Beldarone, the ruling Houses each have a stake in the level of Imperial occupation. For House Draugvist, it has proven to be lucrative so long as the Empire doesn’t go digging too deeply. An impending audit risks digging up an illegal smuggling ring of ionite, and Talon Karrde has seized on the opportunity for unknown reasons. He has hired on a group of agents tasked with heading the audit off at the pass and steering blame away from House Draugvist. The reward for such promises to be worth it’s weight in illegal goods.
Daiyu Politics - Nils Creville has been the Imperial-installed governor of Daiyu since the planet’s seizure soon after the formation of the Empire. However, with the recent uptick of resentment and violent ‘protests’ (read: attacks) from the populace, Moff Pilter has installed a Deputy Governor to rein it all in. This man is an unknown player in Daiyu’s political theater, and his appearance spells trouble for those who oppose the Empire… and for Nils’s job security.
Imperial Outpost - In further response to the increase of civilian unrest and seditious behaviors, Moff Pilter (overseer of the Hocatar Sector) has petitioned for a bolstering of Imperial forces at the garrison in Nevaris. Further, the construction of an outpost outside of Kessivar has been ordered to be built. This outpost, if allowed to be constructed, will tighten the Empire’s grip on the planet. But to attack the construction or to sabotage its progress is likely to make waves, as well.
