Well, depending on how much it cascades, it might be bit more than just street fight. Since it's pretty much war of broken telephones so to speak.

Based on a bit of helpful feedback about the RPG, I just thought I'd post here and explain my GM style for this game. Posting it on the site just in case anyone misses it in the discord chat as it'll probably be 100s of messages back by tomorrow.
There's absolutely zero overarcing plot or planned story. Everything that I post will either be a response to character actions or (particularly whenever there's a new environment) simply setting the scene with whatever is going on locally and the various opportunities/random encounters that can happen. I can very much assure you there's no point where there's a right or wrong path in this game, especially in a universe as expansive as star wars. You guys are quite literally free to do whatever and in fact I very much encourage coming up with story hooks and plans that I can work alongside you on to make the game more interesting. For example, Gordulla commanding the characters to do something isn't me as GM declaring "right, this is the story of the game and you must all follow it!!1!"
I pretty much make it up as I go along although as little story beats develop I do think up various possibilities on how they could evolve over time or tie into each other. It's not going to be shakespeare by any means but after all it's an online RPG so I try not to overthink any of it as GM. I find it's better to just run with ideas and see what happens for games like this, not only for the players but because it is also more fun for me too and helps ensure I don't get burned out running the game. That's why there is a big emphasis on not having a defined story or plan in place like many of my previous games on the site as, while they can be fun, they're just a huge time and energy investment and right now I don't have the mental bandwidth for that kind of thing. The good news is it means this game is open ended and will pretty much take shape in whatever way you guys collectively decide. However long the game lasts will depend on two things... either the story will eventually reach a natural conclusion point or somehow everyone gets themselves killed in some tragic way (and having said that, those two options aren't mutually exclusive). Hell, if we can finish black valkyrie down after 7 years which was in a miserable grimdark setting full of very constricting lore and a setting that inherently limited player choice - then I am sure we'll have no problems with a game like this where as GM I'm basically saying treat it like an open world game and I'll try to just have that world respond in a more or less natural and logical way (with some exceptions because it is star wars and star wars is a silly setting half the time - this game lets us explore more complex and even darker themes than usual in star wars but it just wouldn't be the same without some of the typical goofy or crazy things that happen in this universe as well).
As always the #1 thought process in my mind when writing for this game is to try and do what I think will be fun (even if it can be a little silly at times, I feel it's in the nature of the setting). Anyway, just wanted to clarify that and make sure no one feels their player choice is being disregarded and more importantly make sure everyone feels happy with the game. I always welcome feedback and never take it personally, after all it is just a game! So please, any questions or suggestions at any time, just let me know.

For reference, here is a fairly basic galaxy map listing the most important planets in the galaxy. I'll also put it in the OP of this thread. While it's entirely possible to go anywhere else, these are the generally most significant locations and most people who've spent any time in space would have heard of almost all of these worlds. Nar Shaddaa is the moon of Nal Hutta, just so you guys know where you are.
