Aha. So even if we can't have "Leia" moved from Yavin, if she's an Imperial character that starts on Yavin, she'd just be made a prisoner? That's not terribly insurmountable, so long as I can send a fleet over to rescue her or something. Hm. Well, I'll go look for your tool and see what can be done. If I did switch the characters between the files as well, would that impact other things? In other words, do the files have references pointing to them that say "THIS character is Leia and THIS is Noval" or are they just taken in the order that they appear in the files? EDIT: !!!!! It works! The Rebels can't see Leia as a prisoner--BUT if I send an Imperial fleet over to capture her, it works. She becomes a usable Imperial character. Hm. The only problem, of course, is that I'm required to capture Yavin at the beginning of every game. There's no possible way to change Leia's starting position, I imagine, though... so this is better than nothing. I'll keep experimenting--but this is a good start! Thanks to your tool, I might get my idea working.
