The name change was to avoid possible confusion with Stjärnornas krig Imperium, another Äventyrsspel product released at the time, a module for their line of Swedish-language translations of WEG's Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. This created the ironic situation that they switched from a title immediately understandable to Swedes to another foreign-language title much less so. (While "Imperium" is the Swedish word for "Empire", "Empire" is not a Swedish word). A German edition was produced in 1990 by Fantasy Productions there were also translations into Japanese, Chinese, and Portuguese See also Galac-Tac Starweb References External links "'Imperium': A Tale of Obsession" detailing the creation of the new edition and why AP has dropped the license.
