You could have it so you have the empire and rebels squabbling over the SoaSE factions. allying with them could be made to save you money and time. Like that diplomacy function. You could conquer or become allies. (each with benefits) Its mainly a war between SW factions in SoaSE. As for prebuilt maps, thats what i meant. a map with an existing system or a few planets under your control. When Eviljedi makes the maps for SW he should consider implementing that.
