You must keep your power secret from Imperial discovery at the risk of imprisonment, torture, and death, or perpetually fight for survival.
How you use the force and engage with the empire is up to you. Your adventures in Might and Fate may force you to protect the downtrodden on an Outer Rim planet, land you a prominent role in the growing rebel alliance, or guide you on a quest to find a missing holocron. containing the journals of a legendary Jedi Master. In Lessons from the Past, the adventure included in the core rulebook, players race across the empire to search for the remains of a lost Jedi starship rumored to contain priceless artifacts. what you find on that starship could inspire you to resurrect the Jedi order, guide you to a greater understanding of the force, or cast you to the dark side.

“I will never turn to the dark side.” -luke skywalker
The power of the Force coursing through your mind and body makes you capable of extraordinary feats and binds you to a great destiny. Yet the destiny of every Force-sensitive is unique. All six Careers featured in the Core Rulebook offers a set of incredible abilities and a specific approach to life guided by the Force. As a compassionate Guardian you could use your lightsaber to aid the helpless and oppressed. Or, you could become a scholarly Consular and follow the Force’s guidance as you play dangerous games of Imperial politics. You might find your calling as a Seeker, fighting the dark side throughout the galaxy, or as a Sentinel, enforcing justice in the shadows of a city’s seedy underworld.
In addition to your species, race, and specialization, you select skills to help you on your journey and some talents, perhaps some rooted in the force. above all, you determine the morality of your character, that is, his internal balance between good and evil. he can start with a neutral morality and gradually show his colors, or lean towards light or dark from the start. Every choice you make in the game is an opportunity to prove your commitment to the light side or fall victim to the dark side’s allure. the path from light to darkness is quick and easy to travel, but the path from darkness to light is steep and challenging.
