Welcome to the Rebellion: A Party in a Galaxy Far Far Away

For years, the galaxy has endured the shadow of the Empire.
Under Palpatine’s rule, worlds have burned and peoples have vanished.
The Jedi were hunted almost to extinction.
Ghorman was silenced.
Kashyyyk was chained.
Lasan was erased.
Jedha reduced to dust.
Alderaan destroyed without warning, without mercy.

Many looked away.
Others called it order.
But some of us knew the truth: these crimes were unforgivable.

“There are moments when the struggle feels impossible. Alone. Unsure. Dwarfed by the scale of the enemy.”

And so we survived. Quietly. Fearfully.
Until the whispers began.

Small acts of defiance.
The Phoenix Cell striking from the shadows.
A senator standing up and walking away.
A call to rebellion carried across the stars.
And then hope made real, as the Death Star fell to a handful of fighters who refused to kneel.

The Rebellion is no longer a rumor.
It is here. And the Force is with us.

“Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy.”

Our cell now forms in secret
on a hidden moon base in the Chicago system,
within an ancient Jedi Temple, cloaked from Imperial sight.

We are calling to the Illinois Quadrant for those who still believe.
Join us in a celebration of resistance and survival, featuring performances by those the Empire sought to silence:

• A former Jedi
• Delegates of Mandalore
• Twi’lek dancers who have broken their chains
• A Nightsister of Dathomir

Together, we honor what the Empire can never seize:
the Force that lives within us all.

To join the cell, secure passage to the Temple.
A chain code will be transmitted. Follow it.
