The Rebellion
Chapter 6: The Rebellion
Art by Orion Wolf & West End Games
The Rebellion had a major hand in shaping the adventures of all of the
Player Characters involved. The "Rebel Garrison" became the
headquarters for a large portion of the campaign. Dekk Rangefinder & Co.
joined up with the rebellion early on in their campaign adventures. Dekk
Rangefinder was under the command of Commander Tallus at Outpost Delta,
the now abandoned Rebel base at Dantooine. His orders, however, took him
to the Fakir Sector to help out Rekeene's Roughnecks and observe the
abuses of the Empire towards the Sakaar, a race of Sarnikken Miners.
Rekeene's Homebase served as the headquarters for quite sometime. After
meeting up with Captain Ackbar, the group switched bases. After Schmiet
Spronornum finally freed his people from the shackles of the Empire, he
was made an alien liason in the Rebellion, and placed under the direct
command of Captain Ackbar. But, after Ackbar started becoming a major
part of the Rebellion command structure, the two drifted apart. The
group ended up at Taos - 4, a rebel base in the Corellian System
commanded by General Geist.
Zaphod & Crew always had some contact with the Rebellion, one way or
another. Their first contact with the Rebellion was with the Rebellion
underworld on Waterworld. Waterworld had a rather large Imperial garrison
stationed on it, but the Rebellion managed to place an undersea outpost on the
planet. Commander Krill commanded the outpost and approached Zaphod & Company
about joining the Rebellion. The group agreed and they operated in cognito
from under the depths of Waterworld. This went on until the group was ordered
to research station Shantipole to help Commander Ackbar and Lt. Pollard. The
group's ties soured when Zaphod Bebelbox stole the prototype B-Wing and tried
selling it on the black market. The rest of the group were viewed as
accomplices and went into hiding. Tyrone and Garrett knew the only way to
rejoin the Rebellion was to get the prototype & Zaphod back. They did this,
and even cleared their names by proving that it was the nefarious Zarndel who
really stole the B-Wing Prototype. Later on, Commander Krill feared that the
Empire might detect the Waterworld outpost, so he ordered the group to destroy
the Imperial Garrison. They succeeded, but the Empire sent an assult force to
retake the planet. The Rebellion responded with their own fleet, and the
battle for Waterworld was waged. The Rebels ultimately succeeded, but Winston
Planethopper was downed and presumed dead. The group decided it was time for
a break and they went their separate ways for a while (Garrett went looking
for Shaka Zuul, Tyrone trained with the Mandalore Warriors). Only Zaphod,
Sir Reginald and Blblblblbl stayed on Waterworld and worked for the Rebellion.
Finally, Winston Planethopper surfaced and went looking for the group,
starting with Garrett Sample. The last mission the group would complete for
the Rebellion was to stop an Imperial Frigate from transmitting the locations
of Rebel Safeworlds to Imperial Headquarters. The group was lost in
Otherspace and Beyond Hyperspace after that. The characters following them
were also based out of Waterworld and under the command of Krill.

Outpost Delta
Outpost Delta was the abandoned Rebel base which gained noteriety on
several occasions. The first was when a Rebel Alliance Army Officer named
Elias Barnes started the Borderguards at Outpost Delta, then again after
Princess Leia implicated it during her stay on the Death Star. It was one of
the original Rebel outposts, set up even before Emporer Palpatine secured his
hold on the Senate. It was as rough as an outpost could get, being in the
Tantooine System. It was in the perfect position to moniter the activities of
the Mos Isely spaceport. The outpost was primarily a Command & Communications
facility dealing in non-Imperial intelligence (Pirates, Slavers, and the like)
which also contained a small prison and storeage facility. Outpost Delta
relied primarily on stealth as its primary form of defense, as the presence of
a strong energy field would alert the Imperials. This type of defense
succeeded, mainly because the outpost was not a heavy staging ground for ship
or troop movement. The base itself housed roughly 5,000 Rebel Alliance
personnel, mainly consisting of the command structure for the Borderguards and
high-level intelligence officers.
The Outpost's storeage facilities contained only the bare essentials.
There were enough shuttlecraft to safely evacuate the outpost if the need
arose. At the time, Outpost Delta contained state-of-the-art intelligence
hardware which was concentrated on following Pirate movements out of Mos
Isely. As an early warning defense grid, the outpost contained a blanket
network of Focused Uni-Directional Sensor Dishes. These radar devices are
very similar to a starship's Dedicated Energy Receptor's (DER). As yet, this
was the only available form of sensor arrays available. While the Focused
Uni-Directional Sensor Dishes are good for tracking known targets, they fail
miserably in a surprise attack. This was known to the Rebel Alliance, and
their technicians were hard at work developing other sensor systems. All of
this came to an end, when, slowly, the Imperial presence in the system grew
out of control. The Rebel Alliance felt it was safer to abandon the base than
risk an Imperial confrontation.
Rekeene's Roughnecks
created by Bill Slaviscek, West End Games
Rekeene's Roughnecks is a group of Rebellion Irregulars which was
"...founded by Lens Rekeene, a human female mercenary, her husband,
Mikka, a brilliant mechanic, and Santhou Lazith'chika, and alien student of
the Force."
"Based on a clunky old giant water hauler hidden in space, the
Roughnecks number about 60 starship pilots, warriors, medics, engineers, and
support personnel, plus an undisclosed number of spies and secret
sympathizers. In addition to the base ship, the Roughnecks possess 10 smaller
ships: several outdated X-Wing fighters, one stock light freighter, two ore
haulers, and one modified pleasure yacht, the Long Shot."
"Lens Rekeene's philosophy of warefare is simple but effective:
keep moving, hit 'em where they ain't, keep 'em nervous, and never tell
anybody more than they need to know."
"The Roughnecks' base ship is a huge old Tuskian water freighter
[called Home]. The main hold has been converted into a landing bay for the
Roughnecks' support craft; several other holds have been transformed into
living quarters, communications centers, and supply warehouses. The ship is
clunky, outdated, unarmoured, and unarmed. If the Imperial forces ever
discover its location, a single TIE fighter can easily destroy it. So Home
base keeps moving, following no discernible pattern and never visiting the
same place twice."
"Personnel leaving Home base are not told where the ship will be
going next. Instead, they are given the frequency and coordinates of a
communications satellite to which they must send a request for pickup when
their mission is completed. The com satellite forwards the message to
another, and then another. The message may pass through as many as six
satellites before it reaches Home base. New orders or coordinates for pickup
are sent back through the same circuitous route. While this necessitates a
communications delay of up to two days, the safety of Home base is ensured.
Direct communications between ships and the base are not only forbidden, they
are impossible."
