The game is set in the region of space containing Hoth and Cloud City, and centers on an Imperial leader bent on covering up Emperor Palpatine's death. The story was written in coordination with Lucasfilm to ensure the plot lines up with The Force Awakens and other canon.The three new characters are:Adelhard is in charge of the Anoat sector of space. When he receives word the Emperor was killed, he shuts down all travel and communications in and out of his system. Those who oppose the status quo or speak anti-Imperial “rumors” are killed. His enforcer and right-hand man is Commander Bragh.Commander Bragh, under the orders of Governor Adelhard, enforces Imperial law within the Anoat sector. He leads the terrifying Purge Troopers – huge, black Stormtroopers far more powerful than the average foot soldier.Almost nothing is known about Brask, save that he’s a Trandoshan somehow involved in the upcoming game’s events. Trandoshans are naturally skilled in combat, though Brask’s clothing looks more fitting for a pilot.For more about the game, check out our Star Wars: Uprising preview , or head over to our Star Wars wiki for full details on all the Star Wars canon.
