Star Wars Empire at War: Forces of Corruption

Tyber used to work with the notorious Jabba the Hutt. The Rebel Alliance has just destroyed the Empire's Death Star. With the Empire and the Rebel Alliance in full chaos with each other, Tyber sees this as the perfect time to set his plans in motion: corrupt the galaxy and take everything for himself! His ultimate goal is to gain control of the Empire's new Star Destroyer: The Eclipse. The Eclipse is twice the size of the regular class Star Destroyers, yet it has the capacity to take out entire planets like the Death Star!

The Zann Consortium has tactics that differ from the tactics used by the Empire and the Rebel Alliance. Their tactics all involve corruption. Some of these include: piracy, intimidation, bribery, kidnapping, racketeering, slavery, corrupt militia, and the black market. An example: The Zann Consortium may take on a tactical mission to abduct leaders of another faction in order to gain ground for themselves. Or, once a planet is corrupt, the Zann Consortium can recruit individuals to fight for them instead of whichever side they were on with the corrupt militia. They can also use the black market to gain illegal vehicles and ships, along with vehicles and ships from the Rebels and the Empire!
