Report by the Regional Agent, Galactic Internal Revenue Service
"Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic.
The taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems is in dispute."
That's where I come in. You can learn more about my job by playing the newest "balance the budget game"
above,
Star Wars: Empire at War. In it, you can have some fun learning the basics of how to collect taxes,
"credits," from star systems, and deal with citizens who have problems with the taxation of outlying star systems.
"We're glad you agreed to this meeting. Consider this an informal audit."
The first thing you'll learn is the reason why we only have two planets left in the galaxy.
Namely, that
our sole recourse for dealing with first time debtors is the Death Star.
"If you want to order that much crap off of infomercials and get in debt, that's fine,
just... here."
Of course, I have to wonder how we got so much taxes out of some of our planets. Like the unmarketable
planet of Guido Eskimos, for instance. Talk about blood from stone.
Of course, it's been easier than you think to market our policies to the public. Our "Last Chance to See Kessel!"
ad campaign convinced a record number of tourists to come and do the famous Kessel Run,
before that ad campaign became, moot.
"Wait! We haven't agreed on a payment plan yet!"
Well, we would like to encourage you to get our new Turbo Laser Tax software, in any case. Heh.
