So I'm planning a campaign that takes place just before the Battle of Yavin IV for some friends where they're going to start as a mercenary company before transitioning to being agents of either the Empire or Rebellion (think like the beginning of the Star Wars Commander game) and I need a planet that will serve as a good first base for the group. I'm thinking something that has smaller imperial and rebel presence so that when the players eventually choose a side they won't get swamped by the opposing faction's more elite troops or large numbers (so far we have no force users planned).

Does anyone have any good planet suggestions that aren't super important to the lore?

Hi so there's this game that I have a distinct memory of watching my dad play as a kid that follows the description above that I can't remember what it was called. I know it was Diablo styled in how it was presented in a fantasy setting. The one thing I vividly remember about it was this big scarecrow-like enemy with sickle hands and a high pitched screech sound with I think burning buildings and wagons around as the arena. I think that may have been the first boss because I remember a kind of story book/journal sketch style cutscene for it.

​

I have no clue exactly when it came out but I am at my wits end trying to figure out what that game was. Does anyone have any clue what game this could be?
