S45 was my player's long-awaited rookie season for the Baltimore Hawks. In S43, the Hawks had won its first Ultimus in 30 years. Over the course of several seasons, the Hawks had become well-known for their prolific pass-heavy offense. This scheme had made Preston Beatz and Kumquat Archipelago MPVs in consecutive seasons. Despite being a running back in a pass-first offense, Archipelago had 20 touchdowns and over 2,000 yards from scrimmage in his final season with Baltimore, easily securing the league's highest individual award. With all of these factors predating my player's arrival, there was an expectation that a rookie RB would not easily replace his legendary predecessor. That was certainly a correct prediction. It was a slow season for Skywalker, who despite leading all rookies in rush yards and rushing touchdowns, wasn't very productive. He had a hard time getting off the ground with a paltry 3.7 average yards per carry. Splitting time with BMP, who left that offseason in free agency, Skywalker wasn't a stat stuffer. He didn't negatively impact the team, however. They were able to secure the second seed in the playoffs, but they fell in the first round. S46 will shape up differently. Skywalker steps into his sophomore season as the team's bell cow. The team's offensive stars, namely Preston Beatz, Rocky Moreaux and Shane Turnbull, have slipped deep into regression. This leaves Skywalker as the third-highest TPE player on offense. It could be the end of the window for the Baltimore Hawks to make a deep run before the aforementioned stars hit retirement. Nobody really knows how the offensive scheme will look in S46 with the regression hitting so many skill players. The ASFC is a tight conference, with the second, third, and fourth seeds having the same record. The fourth seed, Sarasota, barely lost the Ultimus in S45. It's going to be tough for Baltimore, but the future beyond still looks bright. (319)

The journey to the ISFL was a long and weird one. First of all, football seemingly only exists within the milky way galaxy, one not seen within the Star Wars universe. There's podracing, sure. Huttball doesn't exactly translate to gridiron football. But, while on an interdimensional journey beyond the outer rim, Anakin discovered (somehow) the milky way galaxy. It was during a trip to planet earth that he would discover the sport of football. To Anakin, this sport was so much more exhilarating than anything he had experienced outside of Jedi training and warfare. The finesse, the strategy and the bonding of a team spoke to the character traits that made him such a tremendous jedi within the order. This infatuation would soon become obsession and Skywalker would end up walking away from the Jedi Order, determined to make it in the ISFL.
Anakin Skywalker wrapped up his rookie ISFL season in S45. While the team experienced success, clinching the second seed in the ASFC, Skywalker himself was not the performer he was in the DSFL. Anakin was a waiver wire acquisition for the Kansas City Coyotes. It was a good pickup. Skywalker made three consecutive Pro Bowls and would lead the league in rushing in his final season. Skywalker was initially a wide receiver in Kansas City, but would switch to running back prior to the S43 season. For the Coyotes, while they made the playoffs in all three of those seasons with Skywalker in the backfield, it didn't net any championships. For his efforts as a rookie with the Coyotes, Skywalker would get drafted fifteenth overall by the Baltimore Hawks. As one of two running backs drafted by Baltimore, the initial expectation was to have a dual-attack in the backfield while one running back would slot to the line of scrimmage for receiving opportunities, just as Kumquat Archipelago and Ceti Pyxis had done over the past few seasons.
