Description:
A long time ago in a canton far, far away...
It is a dark time...
Pope Palpatine is the new head of the Holy Roman Empire and is on a conquest of Europe. It is up to the scrappy members of the Canton of Elvegast to bring his reign of terror to an end!
It's a battle of The Empire vs The Rebellion
