High Adventure: This is a space opera about a massive galactic war. Conversations will build tension and fights will have explosions. The universe is a dangerous place; you need to not only embrace that danger, you need to thrive in it.
Fast Paced: Don't overplan things. Unless you act quickly, you will lose, or at minimum you will lose out. It is a big galaxy and there are countless opportunities, but if you are indecisive you will paralyze yourself with options. Pick a direction and charge with gusto.
Character Driven: Your destiny is shaped by your character's personality. That personality needs to be larger than life or you will become background noise. Know who you are and what you want, then go get it. You can theoretically accomplish anything if you try hard enough.
