The Job

You have read that on a customs wall in six systems. It is printed under the seal, so it must be true.

Here is what is also true. You own a ship, which almost nobody does. You owe for it, which almost everybody does. Customs stamps your manifest. Garrisons tax your routes. A patrol decides, this month, whether your cargo is legal.

Most people keep their heads down. You have found it pays better not to.

What you do

You take contracts. Cargo that travels without a manifest. People who need to be somewhere else before morning, and quietly. Things that need acquiring from wherever they are currently being kept.

You are good at this. You are not cheap. Between those two facts there is usually work, and the work usually finds you before you have to go looking.

What you owe

Nobody who lent you this money is licensed, and nothing about the terms was filed. Which is the only reason you got the money.

The ship is yours. The paper on it is somebody else's.

That somebody is not the Empire. The Empire taxes you; it does not lend to you. Pick one of the three below and write the name on your sheet.

• A Hutt. Patient, exact, and in no hurry at all. The ledger outlives everyone written on it. Payments come due monthly, and the kajidic would far rather hold a crew that owes than a crew that has paid.
• A shipping consortium. A contract, a payment schedule, and a clause about repossession. Lawyers on twelve worlds and a recovery team on four.
• The crew who had her before you. The paper changed hands. One of them is still alive and does not accept that it did. No schedule to meet, nobody to pay, and nothing to negotiate. Just someone who knows the ship better than you do and turns up where you are.

The Rebellion

There is one. You have heard about it the way you hear about everything out here: third-hand, in a cantina, from someone who wasn't there.

Whether it has anything to do with you is not a question anyone is asking yet. It will be.

The first job

An accurate manifest is a list of things somebody can come and take off you.

Someone needs a package carried, and they are paying more than the distance is worth. Best not to ask too many questions.

The Galaxy You Work In

Known is a generous word for a registry number, a filed course and whatever the last inspector could be bothered to type. The gap between that file and the truth is where you make your living.

You already know how to fly. This is the rest of it: who pays you, who stops you, and who is standing at the bottom of the ramp when you land.

The era

It has been at peace long enough that people have stopped mentioning it. The Republic is something older spacers argue about after the third drink. There are still governors, still magistrates, still a courthouse on the main square of any world big enough to have a square. Above all of them sits a Moff who can overrule the lot in one sentence.

Nothing dramatic is happening. That is the texture of the thing. Ships get impounded. A village gets moved for a mining concession. Somebody's brother goes in to answer questions and does not come back out, and the freight still runs on schedule the next morning.

It is a grubby, dangerous, ordinary time to be alive. The people who do well in it are the ones who stopped waiting for anybody to be fair.

The Outer Rim

This is where you work, and out here the law is a local opinion.

A world might have a governor, a mining consortium, a crime family, or all three sharing an office. Two systems apart, the rules change completely: a cargo that is contraband on one moon is a licensed import on the next, and the difference is which official got paid last year. Nobody has bothered to write any of it down.

So you carry your own paperwork, and the rest of the time you carry your name. The further out you fly, the more your reputation does the work a licence would do closer in. On a Core world you show a permit. On a rim world you say who you flew for last, and the dockmaster either waves you through or doesn't. A little streetwise gets you the name of the person who actually decides.

The Empire, day to day

Every word of that is accurate. Compliant carriers are not delayed. The inspector coming up your ramp is the one who decides which carriers are compliant, and the inspection is the only free part.

Imperial rule arrives as paperwork far more often than it arrives shooting. The usual shape of it: you come out of hyperspace and something bigger pings your transponder. A patrol vessel or a customs cutter, sometimes a picket that has been bored for six hours and would like a reason not to be. They ask for your registration and your manifest. You give them a manifest. If the officer is careful, they board: two troopers in the corridor, one inspector with a scanner and a datapad, walking your hold and counting crates against a list.

What follows depends on what you brought, what the inspector is paid, and what kind of week they have had. A bargain roll and a modest gift settle most of it. bureaucracy does the rest: an officer who believes your forms are in order rarely goes looking behind the panelling. Knowing when to stop talking is its own skill, and nobody has ever had to roll for it.

Garrisons hold the ground: a base outside the main port, checkpoints on the roads, a curfew enforced unevenly. Permits exist for everything: landing, unloading, carrying a weapon in the city, being on the street after dark. Each one costs money and leaves a record with your name on it. The records are the real weapon. The Empire is very good at remembering.

The Hutts

Read that again, because it is the most useful sentence the Empire has ever printed. Nobody is coming to enforce anything. The people who work out here know it, and they have built something to fill the gap.

The Hutts are employers, not monsters. They run shipping, spice, gambling, labour and half the legitimate freight in the region, and they hire crews like yours constantly, because a Hutt with a ship of his own is a Hutt with a liability.

They pay, and they pay properly. They are also patient on a scale that has nothing to do with a human lifetime: a Hutt remembers a favour for thirty years and a debt for longer than the person who took it on. Debts get inherited, traded, and sold on to other Hutts. A job you did once is on a ledger somewhere with your ship's registry beside it. If the paper on your hull is held by a kajidic, that is the ledger it sits on.

Deal with them straight and they are among the best clients in the galaxy. That is not affection. It is bookkeeping, and bookkeeping is reliable.

The Rebellion

The first line is true. There is no fleet, no army, nothing out here that could hold a garrison off for an afternoon. The second line is the tell: if contact carried no penalty, there would be no reason to print that it doesn't.

You will not meet the Rebellion. You will meet a person. A man counting crates on a world you had no other reason to land on, a woman who buys the round and asks what your hold can carry, somebody's cousin who flew a run once and still won't say where he set down. They do not use the word. They talk about a shipment, a passenger, a family that has to be off this world tonight, and they are careful in the way that people with nothing to hide are not.

The work is the work you already do. The price is what differs. A Hutt pays on time and in full, because a Hutt is keeping books; these people pay what they have, which is fuel, a repair you needed anyway, and a promise from somebody who may not live to keep it. It buys the one thing they can afford: risk nobody else will take at any price. The cargo a kajidic won't touch because the heat comes back onto the ledger. The passenger nobody can sell on later without going down with him. They are not the best client in the galaxy. On certain jobs they are the only one.

Nobody is going to ask you to join anything. There is nothing yet to join, and the people doing this are in no position to recruit. What they will ask is whether you are flying next month, and whether you would take another one.

The people who built your gear

Very little out here is handmade. Somebody's factory turned out the hull you fly and the blaster on your hip, and their names are stamped on both.

The serial beside the name is the part the Empire cares about. A licensed blaster can be traced to the crate it shipped in, the world it cleared customs on, and the last hand it was legally sold to. That is a warranty of a kind, just not yours.

Corellian Engineering built more of the freighters in any given docking bay than everyone else combined. A YT-1300 Transport is theirs, and so is most of what is parked beside it. Sienar Fleet Systems builds Imperial fighters, which makes the Empire its customer and gives its perimeter guards military hardware to go with the contract. BlasTech makes the sidearm and, more usefully, the parts to repair it, on every world worth landing on. SoroSuub does everything: mining, refining, luxury goods, weapons, an entire planet's economy under one letterhead.

They are governments with share prices. Several run private security that outguns a garrison and answers to a board rather than a Moff, and when a corporate world says a moon is closed, it is closed. The stun grenade on your belt exists because Merr-Sonn decided there was a market for one, and it is legal in some ports and a five-year sentence in others.

Other crews

You are not the only ship taking these jobs.

There are dozens of crews working this stretch of the rim: freelancers, family outfits, three brothers and a leaking hull, hard people with a good ship and no scruples at all. Some of them you drink with. You swap warnings about which port has a new inspector, you lend a hydrospanner, you buy the next round, and you both quietly avoid mentioning who you are flying for this month.

Sometimes you are hired for the same job. Sometimes you are hired to clean up after they failed at it. The ones you drink with today are the ones who know your ship on sight later, in a system where that could be very good news or very bad.

The Worlds

The filing is free. What it costs is a written record of where you said you were going, held somewhere you cannot reach, waiting for the day somebody wants to compare it against where you actually went.

Fifteen worlds are worth the fuel. They are grouped by how far you are willing to go, and how much you want back for going: nearest and safest first, and the further down the page you read, the better the money and the worse the consequences.

Within reach. A working hull gets you to any of these and back inside a fortnight. The money is thin and so is the risk.

Tatooine

Twin suns, one real spaceport, and more traffic through it than the next three worlds combined. Tatooine is run by the Hutts and everybody involved knows it. There is an Imperial presence: a prefect, a customs desk, a handful of bored troopers. There is no garrison worth the name, because the Empire has looked at the tax return and decided the planet is not worth what holding it properly would cost. That gap is the whole reason the port works. Cargo that would be seized anywhere else is unloaded in daylight at Mos Eisley while a Hutt's majordomo takes his percentage and signs nothing.

Work here: unmanifested freight, passengers who need to not exist for a week, and any deal where the buyer would rather not be filmed. Crews come here to be paid in cash by people who do not want a receipt either.

Watch for: the desert itself, which kills more spacers than the troopers do, and the fact that a Hutt's protection is a service with a price and a cancellation clause.

Anyone goes for: minerals out of the sand, and a port that will take any hull with a manifest. The traffic is the product here; the planet is barely a supplier at all.

You go for: the week. A pilot using a private bay hands the cargo manifest to the bay's owner, who then has seven days to file it with spaceport control, and corporate bays are not inspected at all: they submit a seasonal freight list and pay two per cent duties on it. About one ship in 500 is inspected at all, and when one is, the inspector expects a hundred credits or so.

Bestine

Not the township of the same name out on Tatooine. This Bestine is a world of rocky islands with a population small enough that the Empire could simply remove it, and that is what the Empire did. Every one of them was moved off so the fleet could have a wholly secure base of operations, on promises of relocation that turned out to be worth nothing, and the survivors have been wandering the sector ever since.

What was left got rebuilt as an Imperial Navy yard, and the yard runs on rubindum ore, which is what hyperdrive engines are built from. None of it is local. It arrives under consignment, hauled in by freighter, and that run is the errand that gets a civilian hull cleared in. Above the yard sits a healthy squadron of TIE fighters, and what they are for is not a mystery. A freighter that lifted off Bestine without permission had the entire squadron after it almost immediately, and only got clear by dumping half its ore consignment into their flight path.

Work here: almost nothing, legally. The yard buys nothing from crews like yours and sells nothing either. What it has is a shipping schedule, and a schedule is worth money to people who want to know when a hull full of hyperdrive stock is in transit.

Watch for: the squadron. There is no customs desk to argue with and no clerk to pay, because the Empire removed the part of this world that could be negotiated with.

Anyone goes for: nothing, unless the yard is expecting their consignment. That run is what gets a civilian hull cleared in, and what yours is doing here is the first question anybody asks.

You go for: the story about the yard hands. What gets repeated two systems away is that somebody working those consignments has been walking starship parts and raw materials back out of the system, and that whoever it is has more of them than they have hulls cleared to carry them. Nobody telling it can say who, how many, or for whom. It has never been proved and it has never quite gone away, and it is the only reason anybody like you has a reason to think about this world at all.

Ryloth

An occupied homeworld, run for what comes out of it. Ryll goes out, the raw spice that half the sector's refineries depend on, and so do Twi'leks, sold by their own clans. Everything else comes in, at prices set by whoever holds the contract this year. The clans still govern the surface in every way that matters day to day, and what sits above them is neither the Empire nor a Hutt. It is Voorg the Thandicant, a slave lord who leaves a small contingent of pirates and a few starfighters at Kala'uun to keep other slavers off and takes his fee once a year in people. Nobody on this world thinks that is a good arrangement. They think it is the cheapest one available.

There is no Imperial garrison here and no Imperial control at the port. Kala'uun answers to a Twi'lek Starport Master, Koh'shak, whose customs procedure is a local inspection he oversees himself and whose taxes are whatever he thinks a first-time visitor will believe. Past the landing field the clans keep order themselves, and they keep it thoroughly. Nobody out there is arrested. People are dealt with, by somebody's relatives, and the matter is closed.

Work here: ryll, in both directions, either hauling it out for a clan that would rather not put its crates through the Starport Master's auction or hauling in the machinery and medicine that the official channel keeps short. Clan work pays badly and pays back for years.

Watch for: picking a side by accident, and the import ban. Nothing warlike comes into Kala'uun; explosives, weapons and armour found aboard are impounded in the Starport Master's vaults until you leave. Every cargo here belongs to somebody's dispute, and streetwise is what tells you whose before you sign.

Anyone goes for: the import run. Kala'uun buys mid and high technology, docking is twenty-five to a hundred credits a day, and the city taxes goods at nothing at all, whatever the Starport Master tells you on your first visit.

You go for: ryll. A hundred-kilo crate out of the Starport Master's vaults runs five to ten thousand credits and sells for ten to twenty-five thousand elsewhere, and carrying it is a class two infraction: at least a ten thousand credit fine and five to thirty years on an Imperial prison world.

Rodia

A police state that belongs to nobody but Rodians. Navik the Red is the Grand Protector, his Chattza clan holds the government, and the Home Fleet holds the system. Drop out of hyperspace in Tyrius and a Home Fleet customs ship orders you to halt for inspection with several more behind it: identification and permits checked, Rodian passengers checked hardest, the hull searched for contraband. Planetfall is restricted to starports, of which there are four, and anything that tries to land anywhere else is hunted down.

The Empire is present and is not the thing that stops you. Rodia carries typical Imperial services in the capital and a standard Imperial garrison in every city with an official starport, and the one order Navik cannot give is about Imperial identification: it is required by the Empire and is not to be questioned beyond reasonable verification. That is the loophole in his policy, and everybody on both sides of it knows it is there. What he can do is hold the doors. The Home Fleet has standing orders to stop and search any departing ship for illegal emigrants, because only hunters who have earned the right to leave may legally take work offworld.

Work here: weapons, in volume. This world's industry is weapons manufacture and development, the complexes turn them out in mass quantities, and offworld munitions houses keep operations here alongside the Rodian companies. Anything a crew needs to arm itself with was probably assembled somewhere it could walk to.

Watch for: leaving. Arriving is a formality once your identification holds. Departing is the search, and a hull caught running the blockade is not fined. The people aboard are imprisoned or used as live targets in the gladiatorial hunts.

Anyone goes for: the weapons trade, through four Stellar-class ports, which is a serious grade of facility for a world this far from the Core. Rodia sells weapons technology and buys foodstuffs and luxury goods, and both halves of that are a cargo.

You go for: the provinces. Navik limits his enemies' supplies wherever he can, the planet's sensor network is inadequate, and smugglers willing to set down outside a starport ply a profitable trade with the isolated provinces. The Chekkoo are one of the poorer clans and hire smugglers at good pay when the need arises: ten to thirty thousand credits a run, plus what the goods cost you to buy in the first place.

Socorro

Black sand, more heat than anyone needs, and the only port on this list where the people checking your hold have flown the same runs you have.

Nobody governs Socorro in a way the Empire would recognise. What it has is organised crime and tribal councils, and what it has instead of a garrison is a full Imperial-class spaceport at Soco-Jarel staffed from top to bottom by smugglers, working and retired, who rotate stations so that the collective knowledge of the workers keeps the towers largely clean of unwanted Imperial influence. Behind them sit five illegally emplaced planet defender ion cannons, well hidden somewhere on the perimeter, each with its own generators and its own crew. Imperial ships are stalled, delayed, detained, quarantined and, in daring cases, boarded. The system is remote enough that a large Imperial force has never been sighted here at all.

The Society of the Black Bha'lir is the machinery underneath all of it. Membership is based strictly on occupation, and the occupation is smuggling. There is no payroll; you are employed by being a member. It runs operations in at least seventy systems, from Ottega to Nar Shaddaa, and what the dues buy is coverage: safehouses across the galaxy to heal up in, the best defence teams money can buy if the Empire takes you, officials already paid for, and where bribery is not an option, direct threats against judicial authorities and their families. The code has four principles, and the fourth of them, respect for aa'kua, brings the Bha'lir into violent clashes with slavers on a regular basis. What you pay for all this is smuggling dues and kickbacks, occupational insurance and retirement dues, at whatever rate your sponsor tells you they come to.

Work here: everything, and for once without lying about it. This is the one port where the job on the manifest can be the job.

Watch for: the Kanauer Corporation, which mines the Thrugii asteroids, despises smugglers, and has lately tripled its operations, filled Soco-Jarel with its ships and put a contingent of its people in the city recruiting local talent for the belt. Meanwhile people are vanishing all over the planet, always at night, and the Bharhulai have threatened war over it. Kanauer says the two things are unrelated. Socorro has never had an Imperial garrison, and open tribal war in Vakeyya is the sort of thing that would fetch one.

Anyone goes for: raava and Corellian whiskey, and a repair bay. Docking at Soco-Jarel runs thirty to thirty-five credits a day if the port knows your face, and twenty to twenty-five out on the exterior lots.

You go for: the Bha'lir, and a berth nobody files a report about. Flight plans are rarely kept on file, registrations are never requested, and questions are kept to the basics. What is asked of an unfamiliar hull instead is a small portion of the cargo, taken by the port's Ibhaan'l shaman, who accepts no bribes and neither do his attendants. Try to pay him and you are escorted off the planet. Hide a cargo from him and you go without your shipment, and often without your ship.

The long haul. Weeks, not days. These pay properly, and every one of them has something on it that can end a crew.

Nar Shaddaa

The Smuggler's Moon, and the only place on this list where the phrase "no questions asked" is a business model rather than a favour. Nar Shaddaa is a moon built over itself a hundred times, vertical kilometres of docking levels, markets, refineries and rooms with one door. Anything can be sold here. Anything can be bought. There is a fence for cargo nobody else will touch, a forger who does work good enough for a Core inspection, and a yard that will change your transponder while you wait.

There is also no such thing as anonymity, and it is worth being precise about why. This is not an open market in information that anybody can buy into. It is the Hutt grapevine. Every operation on this moon belongs to a kajidic, and a kajidic is a clan business enterprise: what one of them notices, the clan knows by evening. You do not purchase your way onto that network. You come to its attention.

The Empire knows exactly what this moon is and leaves it alone deliberately. Smugglers here are tolerated because most of them quickly come under the control of one Hutt clan or another. Order does get kept. It simply does not get kept by anyone you can appeal to.

Work here: liquidation. This is where a difficult cargo turns into credits, and where a crew goes to buy the thing the job needs.

Watch for: being found. Everyone who is looking for you knows you have to come here eventually.

Anyone goes for: the markets, which are perfectly real. Whatever you need exists on this moon, sold across a counter by somebody who will write you a receipt, at a price that reflects how far it had to come. The Empire has decided not to mind.

You go for: the fence, the forger and the transponder yard, which no legitimate port sells. Understand what you are joining when you use them. Kajidic translates as "the means by which we prosper", the prospering is the clan's, and the fastest way for a crew to become somebody's asset is to sell that somebody a thing they wanted.

Kessel

A prison that exports. Kessel is the only known source of glitterstim, the most valuable spice in the galaxy, and the Empire neither licences the place nor contracts it out. The Empire owns it. The mining is done by condemned criminals who are, in the Empire's own phrasing, slaves of the Empire, in tunnels that were not built for people.

Nearly all of it is Imperial property and goes straight to Imperial security, the ISB and Imperial Intelligence and a short list of senior officials, with a small share auctioned off to client states and corporations. The logistics on top of that monopoly are run by the Kessel Spice Corporation, which is the Imperial administrating force of the mines. Underneath all of it is a shadow industry of illegal mining that skims spice off for the black market, which is worth knowing because it means there are people down there who are neither convicts nor guards.

Getting a load off Kessel legitimately means a contract, a schedule and an escort. Getting one off any other way means the route, and the route is the reason this world has a reputation. Nobody flies it for the scenery.

Work here: spice, and people. A prisoner is occasionally worth more to somebody outside than the spice is, and there is no legal way for a crew like yours to move either.

Watch for: the mines' own inhabitants, the escorts, and the arithmetic. Possession, trafficking or transport of glitterstim is a class two violation: five to thirty years, your vessel impounded along with any other property they can reach, and a fine of up to ten thousand credits.

Anyone goes for: nothing they would put in writing. Nearly all of the one thing this world makes is Imperial property before it leaves the ground, so there is no legitimate reason for an independent hull to be in the system at all.

You go for: the skim, and the run. A dose of glitterstim starts at six thousand credits, and the way out is at least five Very Difficult astrogation rolls through the Maw, a cluster of black holes and gas clouds that is the whole reason the route is worth bragging about.

Sullust

SoroSuub's planet, and not as a figure of speech. The corporation issued a proclamation dissolving the elected Sullustan Council for the foreseeable future and installing its own Board of Directors as supreme planetary authority until the crisis has passed, and there is no sign of the crisis passing. Almost half the population owes SoroSuub its living. The cities are underground, the lighting is excellent, and the same proclamation declares the corporation's full support for the policies of Emperor Palpatine.

There is no Imperial garrison, and the absence is a decision rather than an oversight. The Empire is pleased with the arrangement, because it gets a civilian industrial network and its output and control of an entire system without spending troops that are better deployed elsewhere. Corporate security here outguns anything Imperial on the planet and answers to a board rather than a Moff, which changes what you can talk your way out of. There is no appeal to Imperial law against a company that is the government, and no bribe small enough to be worth an employee's pension.

Work here: contract freight, at good rates, on time, with real paperwork. Honest money, and it keeps a hull fuelled between the other kind. Also industrial espionage, which pays better than anything else in the sector and is the single fastest way to acquire a permanent enemy with a budget.

Watch for: being logged. Everything on Sullust is recorded as a matter of operating procedure, and the corporation keeps its records better than the Empire keeps its own.

Anyone goes for: the corporation's own shipping. SoroSuub is a mineral-processing company with energy, space mining, food packaging and techno-production divisions across the galaxy, it moves an industrial world's worth of freight, and it hires hulls to do it on terms agreed before you lift.

You go for: the Sullustans. The new corporate government frowns on frivolity, life in the deep cities gets more depressing by the year, and more of them go over to the Rebellion every time it does. A crew that can move people or cargo off this world without a manifest will not be short of offers.

Ord Mantell

Corellian colonists put an advance Republic military and scout base here twelve thousand years ago, and the name is the only part of that still doing any work: Ord stands for Ordnance and Regional Depot. The trade routes shifted, the strategic value went with them, and what stayed behind was full military-quality starship yards and docks with nothing military left to do. Civilian cargo filled them instead.

What it is now is a free port. Legitimate and illegal cargoes both pass through the system, and smugglers dock here confident that the risk of Imperial entanglements is minimal, which is a phrase the place uses about itself. Along the southern coast of the continent of Worlport there is a sprawl of cities selling gambling and every other vice with no questions attached, and the tourist traffic through them is the planet's real industry. Beyond the cities it is plains, salt lakes, farms and fishing towns, plus a handful of small settlements that cater to spacers and are outlaw towns in the Mos Eisley sense, where a dispute is settled with a threatening word and a blaster.

The world exports nothing of its own. Everything in its holds belongs to somewhere else, which is exactly why a crew comes here.

Work here: carrying other people's cargo, discreet layovers, and yard work a military dock can do that a civilian one cannot. The world also sells quiet: somewhere to sit still and let a problem elsewhere cool down.

Watch for: being recognised. This is where the hunters drink, and they come as individuals rather than as an institution, which is worse rather than better. There is no board to read and no office to ask. You find out that somebody knows your face when they are already across the room.

Anyone goes for: the tables and the yards. Worlport is a gambling and entertainment industry with a planet attached, and the docks were built to a military standard nothing else this far out can match.

You go for: minimal Imperial entanglement, and the traffic that comes with it. Understand that the arrangement runs both ways: this is a world where a smuggler will meet a bounty hunter in orbit to sell him a tip, and where an assassin walked into a Trader's Quarter establishment after an Alliance officer, who lived only because his companions were sitting with him and still spent weeks in an infirmary afterwards.

Kashyyyk

A jungle world of enormous trees and cities built in their upper branches, held under martial law by an Empire that worked out what Wookiees are worth as labour. There are Imperial garrisons in just about every Wookiee city, keeping an uneasy peace, and a blockade above the planet. Many of its people have been exported as slave labour to hundreds of Imperial worlds, and the leverage that keeps them working is not the guards. Wookiees taken offworld into the camps know that failing to cooperate means the death of their families.

Trandoshans hunt Wookiees. It was a Trandoshan dignitary who first proposed enslaving them, and after the subjugation and the occupation, Trandoshans volunteered in numbers to run down renegades. Few Wookiees are in space as free beings at all, and those who are get watched by agents of the Empire.

Work here: nothing anyone will licence. There is no legitimate trade for an independent hull on a blockaded world under martial law, and pretending otherwise on a manifest is the whole job rather than the cover for it.

Watch for: the hunters, who are not Imperial and do not need to be. Running down escaped Wookiees is work Trandoshans volunteered for once the occupation was in place, which puts a Trandoshan crew on the garrison's side without either of them wearing the other's uniform.

Anyone goes for: nothing. The one thing this world exports is its own people, and the Empire is both the buyer and the shipping line.

You go for: the ones who got out, and the ones who did not. Every free Wookiee in space has family in a camp somewhere, and a hull that can get through a blockade is worth more to them than any cargo it could be carrying.

Bothawui

Officially part of the Empire, and left alone to get on with business. The Imperial presence is a small consulate on the outskirts of the capital and routine patrol sweeps by the sector fleet, because so many corporations hold assets here and pay so much into the Emperor's coffers that the official policy is to promote a stable trade environment rather than subjugate the populace. The Consul-General commands a hundred low-level bureaucrats and tax collectors behind a token detachment of three hundred stormtroopers. That is the entire Imperial hand on a world of two and a half billion people.

The other reason the Empire does not interfere is that Bothawui is useful to it. The Bothans have spent centuries positioning their world as neutral ground where every faction in the galaxy can meet, and agents hide behind false identities among the trade houses, route supplies and illegal goods through the starport, run intelligence raids and sting operations, and occasionally make a rival discreetly disappear. Six hundred and eight registered clans sit on the Bothan Council, with fifty-three more petitioning for legal status, and underneath all of it runs the spynet, a shadowy intelligence network that will happily sell information to any concern willing to pay.

Work here: courier runs and the sort of freight that is priced by the job rather than the ton. Everything on this world is somebody's arrangement, and a hull that turns up on time and forgets what it carried is a standing contract rather than a single fare.

Watch for: being useful to somebody. Nobody on Bothawui buys a crew outright. They give you a favour, then a name, then a reason, and by the time you notice you are carrying for one faction against another you have already made the run twice.

Anyone goes for: the technology trade. This is the centre of it for the sector, sitting at the juncture of several major trade routes with a Standard-class port, and it sells mid technology, high technology and information while buying exactly the same three back. Freighter convoys arriving here are well protected by the Imperial Navy and hired escorts, which is a thing worth having on a long run.

You go for: the spynet, which is a standing institution rather than a favour, and which does not care who you are as long as your credits clear.

Core-bound. The Core is where the money is, and it is also where the Empire actually works. Everything here is cleaner, better lit, better recorded, and far less forgiving.

Corellia

The yards that built your hull, and probably built the one parked next to it. Kuat Drive Yards is one of the largest starship construction facilities in the galaxy, and it is reckoned second at best to Corellian Engineering's many stardocks, which tells you what is here. The reason your ship handles the way it does is that it was designed for buyers in this system. Corellian pilots want fast sublight, quick jumps, roomy interiors, real cargo space and the finest weapons systems, and the yards build to that demand because this is the market they build for.

It is also a Core world where smuggling is the rule rather than the exception. A Corellian who sets out to make a respectable living flying freight is attempting the unusual thing, and everybody local knows it. That is a strange combination to hold in one head: the most respectable shipbuilding in the galaxy, and a system full of people who learned to fly by doing this.

Work here: parts, refits and hulls. There is nowhere better to buy what a ship needs, and nowhere with more of it moving around loose. Legitimate freight in and out of the yards pays steadily, and it is the easiest cover on this list to hold.

Watch for: the ordinary consequences of being chased somewhere crowded. There are fuelling depots all through the outer system, and one of them was taken out entirely when a pirate ship running from the authorities lifted out of its hangar without unhooking the cables. The fireball took the pirate and the whole complex with it, the people managing it included.

Anyone goes for: the yards. This is where starships come from, and where the parts, the drives and the certified work come from with them.

You go for: the fact that a crew like yours is not remarkable here. Smuggling is the rule and not the exception in this system, and a hull that would draw a second look anywhere else in the Core draws none at all in the one place everybody's is modified.

Alderaan

A world that disarmed itself on purpose. After the Clone Wars the entire planet turned away from violence and dedicated itself to pacifism, weapons were abolished and outlawed, and even the planetary defences were discarded as a demonstration of the new philosophy. Nothing in orbit here will shoot at you. Nothing on the surface will sell you anything that shoots either.

That decision is quietly coming apart. The New Order has disturbed enough people that certain factions on Alderaan have begun to rethink the non-violent position, and it is not only the sort of faction that meets in a cellar. The house that governs this world sends its own to the Imperial Senate, and Senate work means a great deal of quiet travel. None of the rethinking is armed yet. All of it needs things moved, and it needs them moved by somebody who will not be asked about it afterwards.

Work here: the circuit. Alderaan, Bespin and Corellia form a profitable trade triangle, and running it is the most legitimate work in this chapter. Three ports, real contracts, real paperwork, and a route that explains itself to anybody who asks where you have been.

Watch for: the contrast. On a world with no weapons at all, the only armed people are Imperial, and there is no local force to appeal to, hide behind or pay off. Whatever goes wrong here goes wrong in front of the only party carrying blasters.

Anyone goes for: the triangle and the luxury trade. Alderaanian goods sell on their name, and a bottle of Alderaan Ruge Liqueur is rare enough to run about three hundred and fifty credits on its own.

You go for: an undefended world with a growing appetite for cargo it cannot declare. There is no planetary defence grid to clear and no local navy to file with, and there are more people here every year who want something carried and cannot be seen arranging it.

Bespin

A gas giant with a habitable band in its atmosphere and a floating city in the band. Cloud City exists because Bespin produces spin-sealed tibanna gas, which boosts the firepower of blasters, and the city's fortune was made selling that gas to weapons manufacturers with no Imperial connection. It has stayed clear of Imperial entanglements through several generations of Baron-Administrators, which for a business like that one takes doing. Whoever runs this place is not the Empire, not a Hutt and not quite a corporation. It is a Guild.

Getting there is half of what makes it useful. Bespin sits just off the Corellian Trade Spine at the head of the Ison Corridor, and while there is a Trade Spine jump port nearby there is none in the system itself, so passage here carries an "uncommon route" classification and the only people who arrive are people with business here. Landing is arranged before you get there: a message by newsnet courier with your BoSS documents attached and your reason for coming, answered within a day or two with a visa, a landing schedule and an identification code. Turn up unannounced and you are most likely turned away in the upper atmosphere. A small enough ship gets escorted down by a cloud car patrol and fined about a hundred credits for the trouble.

Work here: the triangle again, from the other corner, plus tourist freight. Cloud City is a resort as much as a refinery and it imports everything a resort eats.

Watch for: the Wing Guard. The only smuggling this city condones is spin-sealed tibanna gas moving for Figg & Associates. Every other ship and cargo arriving can expect spot checks, no obvious weapons come into the city at all, and customs opens every package that does.

Anyone goes for: tibanna gas, tourism and cloud cars, out of a Standard-class port whose docking fee drops the deeper you park: seventy-five credits a local day on the top fifty levels, fifty-five between fifty-one and a hundred and twenty, twenty-five below that.

You go for: Port Town, which is the grubby end of the city and the reason smugglers come at all. It is where merchants and smugglers trade and make deals, where refugees from the Empire go to not be found, and where an outlaw with no plans to commit a crime in the city is left alone to wait out the authorities, plan the next job or trade information and tools.

Coruscant

Two names, and which one you use says what you are. It has been the seat of galactic government since the first union of stars, and the circles loyal to the Emperor's New Order call it Imperial Center. Every form you will ever fill in says that one. Spacers say Coruscant.

The numbers are worth reading slowly. An Imperial-class starport, an Imperial bureaucracy for a government, six hundred and fifty billion people, and a planet function of government and administration. The whole surface is a dense network of buildings, plazas, roadways and landing platforms layered several deep, and apart from the small seas no part of the natural ground has seen sunlight in centuries. Major Exports: none. Major Imports: foodstuffs and medicinal goods. This world makes nothing and eats constantly.

It is also where the records live, physically. The ISB Central Office is a mammoth complex in Imperial City which handles all of the communications and coordination tasks for the whole of the Bureau, and every assignment it issues goes out through that building to a Sector Officer for Surveillance, Investigations, Internal Affairs, Interrogation, Re-Education or Enforcement. Whatever anyone has ever added to your file, this is the address it is filed at.

Work here: feeding it. A world with no exports and six hundred and fifty billion mouths runs entirely on inbound freight, and inbound freight is the one legitimate reason a hull like yours is ever on the schedule. Everything else worth doing here is theft.

Watch for: the fact that this is the one world where the paperwork and the person reading it are in the same building. Anywhere else, a bad file is a delay. Here it is a corridor.

Anyone goes for: the import run. Foodstuffs and medicinal goods, into an Imperial-class port, on a schedule, for a customer that never stops buying and has never once shipped anything back.

You go for: the file, and the undercity you would have to work out of to get near it. There are warrens and broken-down sectors deep in the bowels of this planet that no government representative has visited in hundreds of years, inhabited by refugees, outlaws and worse, and they are the only part of the capital nobody is currently counting.

Hauling

The honest carrier does prosper, at 5 to 10 credits a ton a day, which is why so few carriers stay honest.

This is the general machinery: what work is on offer, what it pays, and what happens at the far end. A world whose own books give it different rules uses those instead, and the sections near the end of this chapter list which worlds and what changes.

Finding a cargo

Roll streetwise or Perception. Read the highest rung your total reaches.

A world's own produce narrows what turns up, so Tatooine offers illegal munitions (smuggled), and Ryloth offers ryll rather than a generic lot. On a failed roll that world's produce is all there is, bought on your own account and carried at your own risk.

What a cargo is rated

The letter beside a price in the equipment tables is the same letter here. It decides what the Empire charges you with if the crate is found.

How a cargo is counted

What it pays

Legitimate freight is 5 to 10 credits per ton per day, based on x2 hyperdrive, plus one day to load and get out-system and one day to get in-system and off-load.

Worked through: 50 tons, 10 hours away, at 10 credits a ton: 500 credits a day for three days is 1,500 credits.

A drop-point agent pays 10 to 20, 10 on a x2 hyperdrive, up to 20 on a x1, so smuggling pays roughly double. A charter is 300 to 600 credits a day for the whole vessel, when the shipper has a smaller load but requires a quick turn-around.

Terms either way: half the fee up front, a voucher for the other half, bonuses for early delivery and penalties for late.

If the trip takes longer than expected the shipper does not pay for the extra time.

Distance is priced as days, not as a multiplier. A Core-bound run pays more because it takes longer and keeps you visible longer.

The checkpoint

How hard a port looks at you is set by what class of port it is.

Docking fees are not printed as one table anywhere in the books; the ranges above are pieced together from the fee lines on individual starports, so treat them as representative rather than a rule to cite chapter and verse.

If you are examined, roll bargain against 4D for the customs officers. A Moderate planetary systems roll recalls whether a port's examination is usually lax.

Concealment works at a ratio of 2:1 legitimate goods to smuggled cargo, because very few inspectors open every crate.

Bribing an Imperial official is itself a Class Three infraction, so the bribe is a gamble rather than a safe default.

What it costs when it goes wrong

The rating on the crate picks the class, and the class picks the penalty. There is nothing to look up twice.

Where a step is overridden

Five worlds have published rules of their own. Each override replaces one step of the machinery above; the rest still applies.

Finding a cargo

Kashyyyk. The only documented export is people, under a standing Imperial blockade.

Bothawui. Nothing to haul by the ton; every cargo is priced by the run.

The checkpoint

Tatooine. A private bay's owner holds the manifest for a week before it reaches spaceport control; corporate bays are exempt against two per cent duties; about one ship in 500 is inspected, and the inspector expects 100 credits or so.

Ryloth. Faked head tax and hold tax at Kala'uun; enslaved Twi'leks aboard are freed, cargo confiscated, captain barred on penalty of death.

Socorro. Share-in-kind; bribes are not accepted; a caught cargo means confiscation of cargo and often the ship; the docking fee runs 20 to 35 credits a day.

Every world at a glance

The last column names the step a world's own published rules replace. Where it does, read that world's entry under "Where a step is overridden" before using the row.

How D6 Works

Dice and die codes

Every die in this game is an ordinary six-sided die. You will want five to ten of them, plus one in a different colour.

A die code tells you how many to roll. 4D means roll four dice and add them together. 2D+2 means roll two dice, add them, then add 2 more.

Three pips make a die, which is why the ladder runs 1D → 1D+1 → 1D+2 → 2D. That is the same arithmetic you used building your character.

Your six attributes are what you can do untrained. Every skill sits under an attribute and starts at that attribute's die code. The Skill List lists all of them, sorted the same way. Once you have bought pips into a skill, the skill's number replaces the attribute's, and you roll one or the other, never both.

So if your Perception is 3D and you have never touched bargain, you roll 3D to haggle. Buy bargain up to 4D and you roll 4D instead.

Move

Every character also has a Move score, printed right on your template. Most Humans run 10. That is meters covered in a round at an ordinary walk.

Push it and it grows: roughly double at a run, and about four times Move if you go all-out with nothing held back. All-out costs you everything else that round: no dodging, no shooting, just running.

Making a roll

You roll when you are doing something that matters and might not work. Nobody rolls to walk down a corridor, although exceptions can be made for doors.

The game master picks a difficulty number. Roll your dice. Equal or higher succeeds. Lower fails.

The numbers behind the words:

Heroic has no ceiling. Some things run Heroic+10, which lands between 40 and 49, or Heroic+20, between 50 and 59. Those two bands are quoted from the rulebook and do not quite line up with the table above them. A Heroic+10 job is a 40, not a 41. Use the numbers as printed; nobody at this table is going to roll a 40 and argue about it.

To calibrate, here is one shot at a stormtrooper, at four ranges. Point-blank is Very Easy. Short range is Easy. Medium range is Moderate. Long range is Difficult, and long range at a trooper who is mostly behind cover is Very Difficult. Putting a proton torpedo into a small exhaust port with the targeting computer switched off is Heroic.

The game master will usually tell you the word and keep the number. That is normal. You are meant to know roughly how hard a thing is, not exactly.

The wild die

Every time you roll, one die of a different colour is your wild die. It is not an extra die. It is one of the dice you were already rolling, wearing a different colour.

On a 2, 3, 4 or 5, it does nothing special. Add it in and move on.

You are shooting, blaster at 5D, so you pick up five dice: four normal and the wild one. The normal dice come up 1, 2, 5 and 6. The wild die comes up 2. Total 16. An ordinary roll, and a good one.

On a 6, it explodes. Count the 6, then roll that die again and add the new number too. If that comes up 6 as well, count it and roll again. Keep going as long as sixes keep coming.

Same five dice, different night. Your normal dice show 2, 4, 5 and 2, adding to a mediocre 13. The wild die shows a 6. You roll it again: another 6. You roll it again: a 3. Total 28. That is a Very Difficult shot you had no business making.

This is the reason nothing in this game is ever quite out of reach.

On a 1, tell the game master. The GM then picks one of three things:

• Count the dice normally, as though nothing happened.
• Count the dice normally. The roll works or does not work on its merits, but a complication occurs.
• Subtract the 1, and subtract your highest other die.

That third option is the one that hurts.

You fire with a blaster pistol specialization at 6D. Your normal dice show 3, 4, 2, 5, 3 and the wild die shows a 1. The game master takes the third option: out goes the 1, and out goes the 5. You are left with 3, 4, 2, 3 for a total of 12.

The wild die applies to everything you roll. Skill rolls, raw attribute checks, weapon damage, and Perception rolled for initiative. And when two die codes go into the same roll you still use only one wild die between them, as with your starfighter piloting plus the ship's manoeuvrability.

Complications

A complication is not a punishment. It is the story getting more interesting at the worst possible moment, and it is always about the thing you were actually doing.

The canonical one: Han is creeping up on a scout trooper in the forests of Endor. His sneak roll is fine. His wild die is a 1. CRACK. A twig, and the trooper spins round. That failure is why the Rebels met the Ewoks, and the Ewoks are why the shield generator came down.

The question a complication should make the table ask is "what do we do now". It is never "well, that's my character finished."

Rolling against a person

Sometimes you are not rolling against a number, you are rolling against somebody. Then it is an opposed roll: you both roll, and the higher total wins. On a tie, whoever started it wins.

Two hands of sabacc is opposed gambling. Haggling a merchant down is opposed bargain. Shooting at someone who throws themselves sideways is your blaster against their dodge.

Whose turn is it

Once things get dangerous, the game master switches from scenes to rounds, each one about five seconds long. A fight breaks into two pieces: work out the order everybody acts in, then run the rounds in that order.

Everyone rolls their own initiative. When a fight starts, every character in it rolls Perception, players and the game master's people alike, one roll each. Highest goes first and the rest follow in descending order. On a tie the game master's character goes first.

That order holds for the whole fight. You roll it once, not every round. The roll is not an action and costs you nothing.

Taking more than one action in a round is allowed, and it costs you: two actions in a round means every roll you make that round takes a -1D penalty, three actions is -2D, and it keeps climbing from there. Firing twice, or moving and shooting in the same round, is often worth the penalty. Just go in knowing what it costs.

Reacting

When something comes at you, you do not have to stand there and take it. Rolling to get out of the way is a reaction, and it does not work like an ordinary roll. Your total does not beat a difficulty. It becomes the difficulty.

A stormtrooper shoots at you from short range: Easy, number 8. You roll dodge and get a 27. The trooper now needs 27 to hit you, and so does everyone else shooting at you for the rest of the round.

That cuts both ways. Roll badly and the number you rolled is the number they need. That can be lower than the one they started with. Reacting is a decision, not a reflex.

Which roll you make depends on what is arriving.

• Blaster fire, on foot: dodge.
• A vibro-ax or a fist: melee parry, or brawling parry if your hands are empty.
• Enemy fire while you are driving: you roll the vehicle's own operation skill, which for most things with a repulsor under it is repulsorlift operation.
• Enemy fire while you are flying: you roll the ship's own skill. That is space transports aboard the crew's freighter, starfighter piloting in a snubfighter, capital ship piloting on something enormous.

Reacting costs an action like anything else, so it counts toward the multiple-action penalty for that round.

Or go all in. A full reaction is the only thing you do all round, nothing else whatsoever. In exchange your roll is added to every attack difficulty against you instead of replacing it.

Three troopers, two at Moderate with a number of 13 and one at Easy with 8. You full-dodge and roll 27. The pair at medium range now need 40 to hit you; the near one needs 35.

The catch is absolute. If somebody swings a vibro-ax at you later in that round, you cannot parry it. You already spent the round.

Getting shot

Ouch.

Step one: does it hit? The shooter rolls their weapon skill against a difficulty set by range, plus whatever cover you are behind. If you spend an action dodging, your dodge roll replaces that difficulty outright, as above.

Step two: how bad is it? The weapon rolls its damage. A blaster rifle is 5D. A melee weapon is Str+1D or similar, meaning the attacker's Strength plus that much. You roll your Strength to resist, plus the armour value you are wearing.

If your Strength roll is higher, nothing happens. You are fine. If the damage roll is higher, subtract yours from theirs and lookup the difference:

What each one costs you:

• Stunned: a 1D penalty to everything for this round and the next. It wears off, but stuns stack up, and enough of them put you on the floor.
• Wounded: you go prone, you do nothing else this round, and you carry a 1D penalty until you heal. Get wounded a second time and you are Wounded Twice, which is the same deal at 2D. A third time and you are Incapacitated.
• Incapacitated: unconscious, out of the fight. A Moderate first aid roll brings you round, groggy and useless, but breathing.
• Mortally Wounded: unconscious and dying, with a roll at the end of every round to see whether you make it. A Moderate first aid roll stabilises you and buys an hour to find a medpac.
• Killed: as advertised. Character deaths are possible.

Reading a weapon's range

Every weapon in Gear prints its reach as a slashed string. A blaster pistol is 3-10/30/120. Those are meters, and they are the three range bands: short, medium, long.

Read it like this. Closer than the first number is point-blank. The first pair is short. From there to the second number is medium. From there to the third is long. Past the third number the shot does not exist. The weapon does not reach that far and there is nothing to roll.

Each band is one of the difficulties you already have:

So take the Basic Blaster Carbine, which does 5D damage at 3-25/50/250:

Under 3 meters is point-blank, Very Easy. Three to 25 meters is short, Easy. Twenty-six to 50 is medium, Moderate. Fifty-one to 250 is long, Difficult. Out there the carbine's own listing adds a further +5 to the difficulty. Past 250 meters you are not shooting anybody.

Your target is 40 meters away. That is medium. Moderate. The game master picks a number between 11 and 15 and you roll blaster against it.

Then cover, movement and a dodge all push that number up from there.

Two things that look like ranges and are not. Ship weapons in Your Ship print the same shape, 1-3/12/25, but in Space units rather than meters, and they read exactly the same way. A grenade prints a second slashed string for its blast radius, 0-2/4/6/10, paired with damage 5D/4D/3D/2D: everyone within 2 meters of where it lands takes 5D, out to 4 meters takes 4D, out to 6 takes 3D, out to 10 takes 2D.

Scale

Every ship in Your Ship carries a line reading Scale: Starfighter, and it is doing more work than it looks like.

A landspeeder has a body strength of 2D. A strong character has a Strength of 4D. Nobody at the table thinks the character is tougher than the landspeeder, so the game makes up the difference in dice. Things are sorted onto a ladder, and the rungs are worth this much:

You are character scale. A landspeeder or a swoop is speeder scale. An AT-AT is walker scale. Your ship, every TIE that comes looking for it, and an X-wing are all starfighter scale. A Star Destroyer is capital scale.

When both sides sit on the same rung, none of this applies. You against a stormtrooper, your ship against a TIE: roll to hit, dodge and damage exactly as written. That covers most of what you will ever do.

When the rungs differ, subtract the smaller modifier from the larger. That difference is the only number you need, and it goes one of two ways.

Shooting up, at something bigger than you. Add the difference to your roll to hit. A Star Destroyer is not a hard thing to find. Your weapon then rolls its printed damage with nothing added, and the target adds the difference to whatever it rolls to resist. If the target dodges, it dodges normally; it gets no bonus for being large.

Shooting down, at something smaller. The attacker rolls to hit normally, and the smaller thing adds the difference to its dodge. If the shot connects, the attacker adds the difference to its damage roll and the target resists with what it has.

Your gunner fires the ship's 4D laser cannon at a landspeeder. Starfighter is 6D, speeder is 2D, so the difference is 4D. She rolls starship gunnery and fire control as normal, and the speeder adds 4D to its dodge, because it is the smaller thing and the dodge is where it gets its help. If the shot lands, the cannon rolls 4D plus 4D, for 8D against a body strength of 2D. There is not much landspeeder left.

A TIE fighter strafes you while you are standing in the open. Starfighter is 6D, character is nothing, so the difference is 6D. The pilot rolls to hit as normal; you add 6D to your dodge, which is the entire reason anyone ever survives this. If it hits, its cannon rolls its damage plus 6D against your Strength.

The reverse of that second one is worth knowing before you try it. Shooting your blaster at a TIE, you add 6D to hit and will almost certainly hit it. Then it adds 6D to its hull when it resists your 4D. You will not scratch the paint.

Character Points

Character Points are your xp and will be earned every session. Advancement covers earning and spending them between sessions.

You can also spend character points during play: spend one, roll one extra die, add it to your total. That die explodes on a 6 like a wild die does.

You do this after you have seen your roll and before anyone else acts. So you roll, you look at 14, you have a feeling the number was 15, and you buy one more die. Once you say you are done, you are done. You cannot go back and buy another after the game master starts resolving it.

There are ceilings, and they depend on what you are buying. Two Points on an ordinary skill or attribute roll, or on an attack's damage. Five on a dodge, a parry, a Strength roll to resist damage, or a specialization roll.

Force Points

Everyone at this table has them, Force-sensitive or not, droids included. You start with at least one, and if you are not sensitive you can hold up to five. Building Your Character sets the starting number and says who may be sensitive at all.

Spend one and every die you roll for the rest of the round is doubled. Attributes, skills, special abilities: all of it. Your blaster at 6D becomes 12D.

What does not double is anything that is not you. Weapon damage stays at its printed code, the ship's hull stays at its printed code. Melee is the split case: your Strength doubles, the weapon's bonus does not.

You cannot spend Character Points in the same round you spend a Force Point. Pick one.

And you might get it back. Spend a Force Point doing something genuinely heroic and it returns at the end of the adventure. Spend it heroically at the climax, the moment the whole story turns on, and it comes back and brings another one with it.

Spend it to win a card game, save your own skin, or make money, and it is simply gone. Spend it doing something evil and it is gone permanently, and you have picked up a Dark Side Point instead.

Crew Roles

A ship this size runs on six jobs, listed below. Between you, you will cover all of them, and nobody has to fill exactly one. Cover two. Cover three. The crew is better for it, and so is the character sheet.

The overlap is mechanical, not a courtesy. first aid and medicine are Technical skills, sharing an attribute with security and computer programming/repair, so the Tech who opens the door is already the crew's most plausible Medic. The Face and the Scout share Perception: bargain, con and persuasion sit on the same attribute as search, hide and sneak.

Pilot

You are the reason the ship arrives. Atmospheric approaches into ports never meant to take a hull this size, a run through a canyon with something faster behind you, and the moment where the jump coordinates are either ready or they aren't.

space transports moves your ship between planets. starfighter piloting flies a fighter. Two skills, two different jobs. If the crew ever picks up a snubfighter, whoever took starfighter piloting is the one who flies it. astrogation plots the jump. sensors shows you what is out there while it is still far away.

Templates: Rebel Privateer, Outer Rim Explorer

Face

You are how the crew gets paid. Contracts get negotiated, informants get cultivated, and customs officers get talked into a shorter inspection than the one they had planned. You read a room full of people who would sell you, and you work out which of them is cheapest.

bargain sets the price. con sells the story. persuasion makes someone want to help you, and streetwise is how you knew who to ask in the first place. The Face turns a rumour into a job and a fight into a conversation.

Templates: Infochant, Spynet Field Agent, Disowned Noble, Scoundrel

Tech

You are the one who opens the door. Locked things are everywhere out here: hatches, vaults, cargo manifests, a droid that has been told not to talk to you. You decide whether a locked thing is an obstacle or a detour.

security handles locks and alarms. computer programming/repair gets you into the system behind them, and droid programming gets you the droid's cooperation, sincere or otherwise. demolitions is the answer when a door declines every other approach.

The same hands keep the ship flying. When the hyperdrive dies two hours out from anywhere, you are the plan; in a fight, starship shields is yours to run, and where you put the power decides how the next minute goes.

Templates: Rogue Technician, Decommissioned 501-Z Police Droid

Muscle

You are what happens when the talking is over. Some rooms cannot be negotiated out of, outrun, or sliced around, and in those rooms everyone else is looking at you.

blaster and brawling end things. dodge is why you are still standing to end them. intimidation sometimes ends a fight before it starts, which is the cheapest win available.

Templates: Brute Mercenary, Former Hutt Bounty Hunter, Rebel Special Forces, Guerilla Resistance Survivor

Scout

You are the one who goes first. Deserts, wastes, jungle, ruins, hostile country of any kind: you come back from it, and you bring the map.

survival keeps you alive out there. search finds the trail, the cache, or the sentry. Two skills do the quieter work: hide conceals a thing, or a you that is standing still, while sneak moves you across ground without being seen. They answer different questions, and both are worth having.

Templates: Outer Rim Explorer, Guerilla Resistance Survivor

Medic

Someone on this ship should be able to open a medpac and know what to do next.

Plenty of things in this galaxy work faster than armour. A medpac and a steady hand buy the minutes that decide it. first aid covers those minutes, stabilising someone on a cargo ramp with a firefight still going. medicine is the longer work: bacta, surgery, poisons, and getting a crewmate back on their feet before the next job instead of after it.

Building Your Character

This campaign gives you more to build with than the standard rules do. You are an experienced crew who have already learned a few things, and the numbers say so.

Where your template contradicts a rule below, the template wins. A few templates print creation rules of their own: a starting budget that is not the one below, an attribute die granted outright, an advanced skill unlocked by raising its prerequisite far enough.

There is a blank sheet at the end of this section, just before the worked example. Print it or copy it out, and fill it in as you go. The budget block on it is the part that catches mistakes: three things draw on the same pool of skill pips, and the attribute pip is not one of them.

1. Pick a character template

Your template sets your six attributes, and they arrive fixed. Nothing at creation trades skill dice, pips, or specializations for attribute dice. Step 3 is the only thing in this section that moves an attribute at all, and it moves it by one pip.

So choose a template whose attributes you want to live with. The skills around them are entirely yours to shape.

2. Choose your species

Your template names a species, usually Human. You may swap it for another from the campaign's species list. Four rules govern the swap.

Your template's attribute dice must fit inside the species' limits. Every species entry prints a minimum and a maximum for each of the six attributes. Read your template's six printed dice off the card and check each one against the matching range: none may sit below that species' minimum or above its maximum. One attribute outside the range rules that species out for that template, and nothing at creation can rescue it, because nothing at creation moves a template's attribute dice.

It costs between zero and three pips, and they come out of the same pool you spend on skills in step 5. The price is per species, printed on the entry of any species that sets one, and it is set "depending on the special abilities of the new race," as the creation rules put it. Human is a zero, so keeping the species your template already names costs you nothing. Some species set no price at all, and this campaign charges nothing for those. Every entry in this guide shows a price, and a good many of them show 0 pips.

Use the minimum Move value for every mode of movement the entry lists. An entry printing 10/12 gives you a Move of 10. An entry printing 6/8 {Fly 14/18} gives you a walking Move of 6 and a flying Move of 14, taking the minimum of each mode listed, one mode at a time.

A species ability that fires once at character creation is disregarded. Abilities that do their work in play are what you get. It is only the creation-time grants that do not apply.

Droids are not on that list, because a chassis is not a species. Two templates arrive as droids already, the Decommissioned 501-Z Police Droid and the Field Medic Droid, and if you want to play one of those, take it and you are done. Any other template may fit a droid chassis instead of a species, and it costs 2 pips out of the same pool. You are a droid from that point on: a ceiling of 5D on every attribute in place of a species maximum, no Force sensitivity, and Species by Crew Role has the rest of what being a droid changes, most of it about what a medpac will not do for you. The 2 pips buy the chassis and nothing else. You do not also pay for the species your template printed, because you are not that species any more.

Checking a species against your template

Species by Crew Role is the shortlist, sorted by the ship's six roles. The numbers for the check below, minimum and maximum for all six attributes plus Move and price, are in The Species Catalog, for all 165 species rather than just the shortlist. The check is the same every time. Here it is run twice against the Scoundrel from the worked example at the end of this section:

Twi'lek is out, on one attribute out of six: a Twi'lek Dexterity tops out at 3D and the Scoundrel's is 3D+1.

Toydarian takes it. All six sit inside, the entry prices the species at zero so it costs nothing, and its Move of 6/8 {Fly 14/18} means this Scoundrel walks at 6 and flies at 14. Note the Perception maximum as well: 4D+1, where Human stops at 4D. Step 3's pip could go into Perception for a Toydarian Scoundrel.

3. Add your attribute pip

One pip, into one attribute of your choice. Three pips make a die here as everywhere else, so an attribute sitting at 2D+2 becomes 3D.

The pip may not push an attribute past your species maximum, which is why this comes after step 2. Human attributes run 2D to 4D, so a Human attribute already at 4D has nowhere to go and the pip must go somewhere else.

If you are playing a droid you have no species and therefore no species maximum. Your ceiling is 5D on every attribute, which is what the two droid templates print in their own notes.

Everything beneath that attribute rises with it. Raise Knowledge by a pip and every Knowledge skill on the sheet gains a pip as well, which is why the pip goes in before anything is bought.

4. Add three skills of your choice

Choose three skills your template does not list and add them to your sheet at their attribute die. They cost no pips. The Skill List has the full list, sorted by attribute. Pick your three from there.

You may not choose an Advanced skill with this selection.

You may not choose a Force skill either. The Skill List names all three; none of them can be taken at character creation, with pips or with these three picks, and none of them has an attribute die to add them at. A Force skill is learned in play, from a teacher, at the game master's discretion.

5. Spend the skill dice

Distribute 9D of skill dice. That comes to 27 pips, less whatever your race cost.

Three pips make a die: 1D → 1D+1 → 1D+2 → 2D → 2D+1 → 2D+2 → 3D.

• At most +2D into any single skill, a cap of 6 pips.

Every skill on your template begins at its attribute die. These pips are how you say which of them you are actually known for.

Two templates arrive with a budget of their own. The Decommissioned 501-Z Police Droid and the Field Medic Droid are built on 13D, which is 39 pips, and they carry their own per-skill caps in place of the flat one above: one skill may take +4D, two more may take +3D, and everything else is held to +2D.

6. Choose four specializations

A specialization is a narrow application of a skill you already have: one weapon, one make of lock, one city's underworld. It gives +1D over that skill's value. Each costs 1 pip at character creation, out of the same pool that steps 2 and 5 draw on.

This is a great use of a pip: one pip for a whole die. The trade is range, since the die only applies inside the narrow thing you named. A specialization is a separate line from then on: it does not rise when its parent skill rises, and is tracked independently once created.

7. Take Freelance Operative

At this moment the crew is independent.

8. Fill in the person, and spend your money

Appearance, attitude, objective, background. Then answer two questions about where you came from:

• Why are you on this ship? You had other options. Something about this crew, or this ship, or the job you were running before, made this the one you took.
• Who do you owe, and what for? The crew picks one creditor for the ship between them; The Job has the three to choose from. Yours is the personal half of that: the share you carry, or the separate debt you brought aboard with you.

Then spend your money. Your template hands you a float of starting credits along with the gear already on its equipment line, and this campaign adds a further sum of your own to outfit with.

The float

Across the fourteen templates it runs from 100 to 2,500, and that spread is doing character work rather than balance work. The Disowned Noble still has family money in an account nobody has thought to close. The Rebel Special Forces trooper has what was in his pockets when he walked out of the barracks.

You have 5,000 credits plus your template's starting value for outfitting your character. Read your template's equipment line before you spend credits: everything printed on it is already yours and does not come out of this money.

Separately from that, the crew has 20,000 credits to spend on the ship, shared between all of you. It is one pool and one argument. Your Ship has the decision and Ship Upgrades has the tables.

Force sensitivity and Force Points

Everyone at this table earns and spends Force Points, sensitive or not. They are not a Jedi resource; they are what any character with enough nerve reaches for at the moment that decides the job.

Force sensitivity is a different thing. It is open to you, and it comes with a ledger. The pull toward the dark side is a real mechanic, and playing a sensitive character means making choices about it the way a paladin does. Characters who are not sensitive have no such ledger, and are free to be as pragmatic as the job requires.

That answer also sets the number you start with. A Force-sensitive character begins with two Force Points; a character who is not begins with one. Where your template prints "1 or 2", that is the choice it is asking you to make.

A droid is never Force-sensitive. Both droid templates say so on the card, and no droid character in this campaign answers that question yes. Write "no" on the sheet and skip the ledger; nothing else about the choice applies to you.

A droid does have Force Points. You begin with one, and you earn, spend and recover them exactly as everyone else at the table does, which is why the droid templates print a flat Force Points 1 instead of a choice.

Jedi are discouraged. In this era a Force user takes a long time to become mechanically effective, and the people who hunt Force users are extremely good at it and already looking.

Nothing is locked yet

Your sheet is not final. You are free to make character build changes, no need to ask. The GM will give notice before locking character sheets at some point in the future.

The blank sheet

Fill this in as you work through the eight steps. It is the same shape as the finished sheet at the end of the worked example, so you can compare the two.

           attribute pip      ....   step 3's one pip, NOT out of that pool

A worked example: the Scoundrel

Let's build a character.

Step 1: the template

The Scoundrel, straight off the card:

Perception 4D is the headline. This is a character who reads people for a living.

Step 2: species

Human, as the template says. Keeping the species your template already names costs nothing, so all 27 pips are still on the table. Move 10 comes straight off the template and goes onto the sheet unchanged.

Step 3: the attribute pip

Not Perception. Human attributes run 2D to 4D, the Scoundrel is already at 4D there, and the pip cannot push past the species maximum, so that pip would have nowhere to go.

Knowledge, then: 2D+2 → 3D. The template left it one pip short of a die, and this is the pip. intimidation, streetwise, survival and willpower all start at 3D now instead of 2D+2.

Step 4: choose three skills

space transports and astrogation, both arriving at Mechanical 2D+1, because a smuggler who cannot fly the ship is cargo. Then bargain, starting at Perception 4D.

Step 5: spend 23 of the 27

space transports takes the full cap here of +2D, which is what turns a Face who merely talks a good game into one who can fly the ship out of trouble herself. con takes the other cap. Three skills rise a full die, and two small pips round awkward numbers up to clean ones. streetwise starts this table at 3D because step 3 already moved it. Four pips are left, and step 6 wants exactly four.

Step 6: four specializations, four pips

Each is a narrow application of a skill already on the sheet, each gives +1D and costs 1 pip at character creation.

The budget closes here:

species (Human, price 0)      0
skill dice                   23
specializations, 4 × 1 pip    4
                             --
total                        27

Steps 7 and 8: character background

Freelance Operative. Not Force-sensitive: too much ledger to carry for a character built to be pragmatic. The template's "1 or 2" therefore resolves to Force Points 1. And the questions:

• Why are you on this ship? The last crew sold me to cover a debt, and this one has not yet had the chance.
• Who do you owe, and what for? My share of the ship, and a criminal organization that has a standing bounty on my name.

The money

Scoundrel · 2,000 credits. That is the float printed on her template. The campaign adds 5,000 more to outfit with, so she has 7,000 to spend. Everything already on her template's equipment line is hers and does not come out of it.

That leaves 3,135 in the account, and leaving it there is a decision rather than an oversight. A docking fee is a few hundred. So is the difference between an inspector who looks in the hold and one who does not. A smuggler with no cash is a smuggler with no options, and the gear you did not buy is easier to find later than the money you already spent.

The hold-out blaster stays on the sheet. It fits somewhere the heavy one does not.

Sneaking at 5D, lying at 7D, opening locked things at 5D, and flying the ship home at Mechanical 4D+1: genuinely this time, not just well enough to talk her way aboard.

Your Ship

You have plenty to declare. You simply don't.

The ship

You have a YT-1300 Transport, not The YT-1300 Transport.

It is the freelancer's freighter: a hundred metric tons of hold, berths for six, and a saucer built out of enough separate modules that a patient crew can find room in it for compartments no customs service has a drawing of. Parts for it turn up on every backwater landing field in the Rim.

What you owe on it

That is a promise made to the lender, not to you. What it means from this side of the transaction is that your creditor never has to find you twice. Once the debt is filed, the Empire's own registry does half the tracking for free.

The ship is yours. The paper on it belongs to whoever you picked in The Job, and that name is already on somebody's sheet.

Modifications

You have 20,000 credits to spend on the ship, shared.

The budget is the interesting half of the decision. A bacta tank, 1D of shields and an airlock is a different ship from one tractor beam, and both are a different ship again from a single tuned hyperdrive and nothing else. Argue about it. Ship Upgrades has the tables: every drive, weapon, shield and system the yards will fit to a hull this size, with what it costs and what it does.

Stat block

Starfighter scale. Costs are in credits, new and used.

YT-1300 Transport

• Craft: Corellian Engineering Corp. YT-1300 Transport
• Type: Light freighter
• Scale: Starfighter
• Length: 26.7 meters
• Skill: Space transports: YT-1300
• Crew: 1 (1 can coordinate), gunners: 1
• Passengers: 6
• Cargo Capacity: 100 metric tons
• Consumables: 2 months
• Cost: 100,000 (new), 25,000 (used)
• Hyperdrive Multiplier: x2
• Hyperdrive Backup: x12
• Nav Computer: Yes
• Space: 4
• Atmosphere: 480; 800 km/h
• Hull: 4D
• Sensors: Passive 10/0D · Scan 25/1D · Search 40/2D · Focus 2/3D
• Weapons:

The skill that flies it is space transports. With that skill you may specialize in Space transports: YT-1300 at creation. One pip, one die, on the roll you will be making when it matters most.

Advancement

Character Points are awarded after every session.

What Character Points buy

Raising a skill costs Character Points equal to that skill's current die value, meaning the number in front of the D. That buys one pip, not one die. Three pips make a die, the same as at creation, so budget accordingly: at 4D a pip costs 4 Character Points and the full step to 5D costs 12. From 5D pips cost 5 apiece, and to go to 6D is another 15.

Specializations advance separately from the skill they came from. Each upgrade step costs half the skill's current die value in Character Points, rounded up, and three steps make +1D. So from 3D a step is 2 Character Points, and from 4D it is also 2.

Improving an attribute

An attribute can rise too, one pip at a time, and it costs far more than a skill pip: the number before the D, times 10. Moving Knowledge from 2D+2 to 3D runs 20 Character Points. Training takes a week per point with a teacher and two without, and extra points buy the time down to a floor of one week.

Up to your species maximum there is no roll. Pay the Character Points, serve the training time, and the pip lands.

Going above your species maximum takes a roll. At the end of the training you roll your new die code, the game master rolls your species maximum, and equal or under theirs means it lands. Over it and it does not, though you keep half the Character Points either way. This is where a species with a high ceiling stops mattering and a species with a low one starts costing you.

A droid has no species, and therefore no species maximum. Its ceiling is 5D on every attribute, the same ceiling Building Your Character puts on a droid at creation, and that figure does a species maximum's job here: up to 5D a droid's attribute rises without a roll, and past 5D the game master rolls 5D against your new die code exactly as above.

It is worth the price for what it drags up with it: every skill under that attribute rises a pip the moment the new die lands, the same ripple as step 3 of character creation, now running on a grown character instead of a fresh one. Advanced skills are the one exception, as above. They never ride the ripple, and move only when you pay for them by name.

Advanced skills

A large slice of the skill list is marked advanced: the engineering disciplines, medicine, and a handful of others. None of your creation pips buys one at character creation, and none of the three bonus skills you picked could have been one, unless your own template printed a rule that opened it. Otherwise an advanced skill is not a starting option. It is somewhere to go.

Getting there is cheaper than it sounds. You need the prerequisite skill first: medicine, for instance, wants first aid at 5D. Then the advanced skill itself usually costs 2 Character Points to learn at 1D.

An advanced skill costs twice the number in front of the D per pip, where an ordinary skill costs that number once. At 2D+2 a pip is 4 Character Points. At 4D a pip is 8, so a full die from 4D to 5D runs 24. That is double the 12 an ordinary skill would ask.

When an attribute goes up, every skill under it goes up a pip along with it. Advanced skills do not. An advanced skill never rides along on anything. It only moves when you pay for it.

The Skill List has the full list, and marks which skills are advanced.

Character Points also buy dice mid-roll

Spend one Character Point and roll one extra die, added to the total. You do this after you have rolled and before the game master says whether you succeeded. How D6 Works covers the timing.

Points spent this way are gone. Points spent on advancement are permanent. You start with 5 character points, and it is recommended to keep a bank this size for emergencies.

Character Templates

Fourteen character templates follow, alphabetically. None of them is an assignment.

A character template is a starting point, not a class. It hands you six attribute dice, the list of skills you are allowed to raise, the equipment you already own, and enough of a past to be worth asking about. Every one of them is a complete starting character. Pick the shape you want and Building Your Character turns it into a person.

They are suggestions. The role printed under each name is where that template starts, not where it has to finish. Building Your Character gives you three bonus skills from outside the template, four specializations, an attribute pip and a pool of skill pips to spend, which is enough to bend any of these fourteen toward any job on the ship. If you want to fly and the Infochant is the one whose numbers you like, take the Infochant, spend two of your three bonus skills on space transports and astrogation, and fly.

Attribute die codes are fixed by the template. The skills listed after each attribute are the ones you may raise with your 9D, and three more of your own choosing come free.

Where a template prints a rule of its own, that printed rule stands and Building Your Character's general version gives way. It might be its own starting dice, its own caps, or a specialization it hands you free. The two droids below are the clearest case: they are built on 13D, not 9D. Read a template's notes as part of its stat block, not as decoration.

Species recommendations by crew role are in Species by Crew Role, the file after this one.

Notes on Character Advancement and Improvement:

• Sentient Droid Attributes can be increased the same as organic races with a maximum of 5D for all of them.
• Sentient Droid Moves can be increased using standard campaign rules with a maximum of 15 for all droid models.
• Cybernetics are considered modifications to Sentient Droids and follow all of the same rules used for organic races (cost with additions for affected skills, +1D limit, location and space used, extra Dark Side Points when a Dark Side Point is gained, etc.). The cybernetics can be removed and replaced with ‘standard’ parts to eliminate their bonuses and penalties (similar to an organic cloning replacements).
• Most purchased equipment can be bought as integrated or built-in variants at a 10% cost markup (i.e. buy armor and pay +10% and the armor is new or add on plating, the blaster is modified to fit in a limb, etc.)

Special Sentient Droid Rules:

• Sentient - Free willed and may not be reprogrammed unless willing. See Brainwashing rules but use Droid Engineering vs Willpower
• PC droids do not improve via Droid Engineering. Character Points are spent like normal to represent Traitware and Skillware upgrades
• No Biology - No need to sleep, breathe, or eat. Not subject to poisons, diseases, etc.
• Immune to Stun Damage
• Ionization Damage affects the PC droid as per the stun damage chart
• First Aid has no effect
• "Healed" via Droid Repair and Droid Engineering with rules that mirror First Aid and Medicine

• Sentient Droid Moves can be increased using standard campaign rules with a maximum of 15 for all droid models.
• Cybernetics are considered modifications to Sentient Droids and follow all of the same rules used for organic races (cost with additions for affected skills, +1D limit, location and space used, extra Dark Side Points when a Dark Side Point is gained, etc.). The cybernetics can be removed and replaced with ‘standard’ parts to eliminate their bonuses and penalties (similar to an organic cloning replacements).

Species by Crew Role

Your template names a species and you may trade it for another. Building Your Character step 2 has the rule and where the cost comes out of your pips. Each species carries its own price, printed on its own entry, between zero and three pips. Human is a zero. If your template already says Human and you keep it, the swap costs you nothing.

What follows is a shortlist, sorted by the six crew roles in Crew Roles. The archive holds 165 species entries; if the one you want is not below, ask, because it is probably on it.

The price in brackets after each name is what that species costs out of your pips. Most cost a pip or two, and a good many are priced at zero.

Every one of these species also has attribute limits, and your template's dice have to fit inside them. Each entry below closes with the ones that differ from a Human's 2D to 4D: a ceiling above 4D is headroom a Human does not get, a ceiling below it is what you gave up for that, and a floor above 2D rules out any template printing less. The Species Catalog has the same numbers, minimum and maximum side by side plus Move, for these picks and for every other species in the archive. Read the flavour here, check the fit there.

None of this is a requirement. A species buys you a reputation, a shape of person, and the way a room reacts when you walk into it. The dice come from your template and from how you spend your pips.

Pilot

Freighters are Duros country and everyone in the trade knows it, which cuts both ways: expected at the controls, and expected to be carrying.

• Duros (1 pip) The Outer Rim Explorer is Duros. They were running hyperspace routes before most of the galaxy had left atmosphere, and a Duros walking a freighter out of a docking bay is the least interesting thing a port inspector sees all day.

• Zabrak (0 pips) An early spacefaring people, scattered into colonies for so long that a Zabrak names another Zabrak by the colony he came off rather than by a homeworld. Nobody at a customs desk gets to place you from the horns. Hardiness is printed with it: +1D on willpower and stamina, which is what a long haul and a bad week take out of you. Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Dexterity 4D+1, Perception 4D+1, Strength 4D+1. Below it: Technical 3D.

Face

The Face works on people, and the first thing people work on is what you are. Pick the reaction you want to walk in with.

• Bothan (1 pip) The Spynet Field Agent is Bothan, and that template's own notes let you keep the Spynet clan membership whatever species you end up taking. Bothan here is a choice about reputation, not about access. Everyone in the room assumes a Bothan is selling information to someone. They are usually right. Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Perception 5D, Technical 4D+1. Below it: Mechanical 3D, Strength 3D+2. Floors above a Human's 2D: Perception 3D.
• Twi'lek (0 pips) Twi'leks turn up wherever the Hutts do business, so a Twi'lek Face is already expected in rooms other species have to talk their way into. Being underestimated on arrival is a discount on con. Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Perception 4D+2. Below it: Dexterity 3D, Mechanical 2D+1, Strength 3D, Technical 3D.
• Devaronian (1 pip) Devaronian males wander by custom. One who arrives on a strange world and starts asking questions in a cantina is doing exactly what a Devaronian does, which is a cover story nobody has to write. Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Perception 4D+2. Below it: Mechanical 3D+2, Technical 3D.
• Toydarian (0 pips) Traders by inclination and hagglers by reputation, and unmoved by charm in a way that is well enough known to be useful. A Toydarian grinding a price down is doing what the room already expects. Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Perception 4D+1. Below it: Strength 3D. Floors above a Human's 2D: Dexterity 2D+1, Perception 2D+1.

Tech

A lock does not care who is opening it, so this is the role where species matters least. Four of them still arrive already explained.

• Verpine (3 pips) The galaxy's byword for technical work. Verpine build the things other species send away for repair, and a Verpine on the crew is the reason a customs officer believes the modification manifest. Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Technical 5D. Below it: Dexterity 3D, Knowledge 3D, Mechanical 3D+2, Strength 3D.
• Mon Calamari (1 pip) Shipbuilders long before they were anything else, and a Mon Calamari on the deckplates generally knows what the hull will take rather than only what the panel is telling him. The Rogue Technician takes one without an argument. The Empire has opinions about Mon Calamari moving freely, and ports act on them. Ceilings below a Human's 4D: Dexterity 3D+1, Mechanical 3D+1, Perception 3D, Strength 3D.
• Woostoid (0 pips) Woostoids read a network the way the rest of the crew reads a room. The species prints +2D on computer programming/repair, flat, with no ritual attached to it. That makes a Woostoid the shortest way this list offers past a door that is really a terminal. Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Knowledge 5D, Technical 5D+1. Below it: Dexterity 3D, Perception 3D, Strength 2D+2. Floors above a Human's 2D: Technical 2D+2.
• Jawa (1 pip) Scavengers by trade, and working from the assumption that everything broken is worth money to somebody. Nobody has ever accused a Jawa of being unable to make a thing run. The complaint is always about what it cost them. Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Mechanical 4D+2, Technical 4D+2. Below it: Knowledge 3D+1, Perception 3D, Strength 2D+2.

Muscle

Everyone sees the Muscle before anything happens. Half the job is being seen; the other half is still standing at the end of it.

• Whiphid (1 pip) The Brute Mercenary is Whiphid, and the template carries the species' claws at STR+1D damage. That is a weapon you cannot be disarmed of and do not have to declare at a checkpoint. Nobody hires a Whiphid quietly. Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Perception 4D+1, Strength 4D+2. Below it: Knowledge 3D, Mechanical 3D, Technical 3D.
• Abyssin (1 pip) Abyssin regenerate. The species carries the ability at 2D and you may raise it with starting dice as though it were an ordinary skill. An Abyssin rolls to heal after hours where everyone else waits days, cannot get worse while doing it, and cannot die of a bad roll once mortally wounded. That is the most concrete survivability on this page. Ceilings below a Human's 4D: Knowledge 3D+2, Mechanical 3D, Perception 3D, Technical 2D+2.
• Wookiee (0 pips) Nobody needs the reputation explained to them. The claws are for climbing and for nothing else. They give +2D on climbing/jumping with them out, and a Wookiee who uses them in a fight is hunted for it by his own people, whatever the circumstances were. The rage is printed as well, and it is not a tactic: +2D to Strength for brawling damage, -2D on everything else, and it does not stop the moment you would like it to. The Brute Mercenary takes one. Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Strength 6D. Below it: Dexterity 3D+2, Knowledge 2D+1, Mechanical 3D+2, Perception 2D+1, Technical 3D+1. Floors above a Human's 2D: Strength 2D+2.
• Trandoshan (0 pips) Hunters by culture and the species most often standing on the collecting end of a bounty. Useful when the crew wants to be taken for something other than smugglers; expensive if the job involves Wookiees, who remember. Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Dexterity 4D+1, Strength 4D+2. Below it: Knowledge 3D+1, Mechanical 3D, Perception 3D+2, Technical 2D+2. Floors above a Human's 2D: Strength 3D.
• Klatooinans (1 pip) In Hutt service since before the Old Republic, under a contract their ancestors co-signed and they inherited. A good many are walking out of it now, which is the Former Hutt Bounty Hunter's whole biography with the paperwork already filled in. Walking out and staying out are separate problems, and only the first one is finished when you sit down at the table. Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Dexterity 4D+1. Below it: Knowledge 3D, Perception 3D+2.

Scout

The Scout goes first, usually alone, into country nobody has surveyed and comes back with the map. These four come from cultures that do it anyway.

• Shistavanen (0 pips) Wolf-featured, reclusive, and known across the Rim as trackers and pathfinders. A Shistavanen who leaves home is generally leaving to hunt something. Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Dexterity 5D, Perception 5D. Below it: Technical 3D.
• Ubese True (0 pips) Their homeworld is harsh enough that the species prints +2D on survival and gives that as the reason on the same line. It is the Scout's job stated as a species, and the Guerilla Resistance Survivor takes one without a word of explanation. The mask is part of the deal: a True Ubese breathes anyone else's air through a filter, and without it carries -1D on every skill and every attribute. Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Dexterity 4D+2, Perception 4D+2. Below it: Knowledge 3D, Mechanical 2D+2, Strength 3D.
• Gand (3 pips) The findsman tradition produces hunters who work by ritual and arrive where the quarry is. Gand also have a reputation for saying almost nothing, which suits days alone watching a compound. Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Perception 4D+2, Strength 5D, Technical 4D+2.
• Trianii (0 pips) Agile arboreal hunters from the far side of the Corporate Sector. A Trianii on an Outer Rim freighter is a long way from home and comfortable being it. Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Strength 4D+2, Technical 4D+2. Floors above a Human's 2D: Dexterity 2D+1.

Medic

The Medic is built out of skills rather than species. Both first aid and medicine are Technical, which is why Crew Roles says the Tech makes the crew's most plausible Medic. Two picks still earn the space.

• Bith (2 pips) Bith hands are printed rather than assumed: +1D to fine motor work, and the entry names surgery in the list of what that covers. Everything close in belongs to them: a further +1D on Perception inside 30 centimeters, and again inside three meters on scent alone. The bill arrives at range: -1D on any visual action past 20 meters, and nothing at all past 40. Best hands on the ship in the medbay, worst eyes on the ramp. The Ship’s Doctor takes one. Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Knowledge 6D, Mechanical 5D, Perception 5D, Technical 5D. Below it: Dexterity 3D, Strength 2D.
• Kel Dor (1 pip) Kel Dor wear their masks and goggles everywhere outside their own atmosphere, which means a Kel Dor medic's face is never on anybody's recording. Whether that is worth anything depends on the job. Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Perception 4D+1. Below it: Strength 3D+2.

Droids

Two templates are already sentient droids. There is no species entry for a droid chassis and none of them prints a price; the Field Medic Droid's own template says the conversion is "considered 2 pip option for droid chassis conversion at character creation". What it buys is a different set of rules rather than a different reputation.

• Sentient Droid Free-willed, and not reprogrammable while unwilling. No sleep, no breathing, no eating, and nothing a poison or a disease can do about any of it. Immune to stun damage, though ionization damage lands on the stun chart instead. Attributes rise as far as 5D and Move as far as 15. The Decommissioned 501-Z Police Droid is a Tech who can also end a room; the Field Medic Droid is the crew's Medic and is never asleep at the wrong hour.

The trade is on the other side of the medpac: first aid does nothing for a droid. A damaged one is put back together with droid repair and Droid Engineering, on rules written to mirror first aid and medicine. So a crew with a droid aboard wants somebody who can work on droids, and a crew whose only Medic is a droid should notice that the Medic is the one person he cannot patch the way he patches everyone else.

The numbers for every species, not just these, are in The Species Catalog, with a stat block each.

Before you spend anything, check that every one of your template's attribute dice fits inside the range of the species you picked, using the table in The Species Catalog. Building Your Character step 2 has the rule, and it is the one that decides where your attribute pip can go.

The Species Catalog

Species by Crew Role is the shortlist: the ones that fit the jobs on this ship, with a reason attached to each. This is all of them. Every species anyone has written up for this campaign is below, with what its own entry prints.

There are 165 of them.

The numbers

Every species, alphabetically, with what its own entry prints. Each attribute column is that species' minimum and maximum, written minimum/maximum: Dex 2D+1/4D means a Dexterity no lower than 2D+1 and no higher than 4D.

How to use it. Put your template's six attribute dice beside the row. If every one of them lands inside that species' range, the species is legal for that template. Inside means not below the minimum and not above the maximum. One attribute outside the range rules it out, and nothing at character creation can move a template's attribute dice to make it fit. The maximum column also caps your attribute pip from step 3.

Move is printed exactly as the species entry prints it, which for most species is walking/running and for a few is more than that. You use the minimum value for every mode listed: a species printed at 6/8 {Fly 14/18} walks at 6 and flies at 14.

Prices are the ones each species' own entry prints. Where an entry prints no price it counts as zero, which is why the Cost column has rows reading 0 pips: that one is the GM's ruling and is stated here. The other rule, that a special ability handing you something at character creation is disregarded, is in Building Your Character where it covers choosing your species.

Each entry below prints what that species' own page prints and nothing more. A blank line is a line the source does not carry, not an omission here.

Special abilities and story factors are the source's own text. Several of them hand a character something at character creation; Building Your Character has the standing ruling that those are disregarded when you pick a species. Ask the game master about anything that reads like it changes a rule.

A

Abyssin

Pip cost 1 pip · Size 1.7-2.1 meters tall · Move 8/12

Dexterity 1D+2/4D · Knowledge 1D/3D+2 · Mechanical 1D/3D · Perception 1D/3D · Strength 2D/4D · Technical 1D/2D+2

Ceilings below a Human's 4D: Knowledge 3D+2, Mechanical 3D, Perception 3D, Technical 2D+2.

Abyssin are humanoid bipeds with long limbs, thin, well-muscled bodies and swarthy, weather-beaten faces. Their upper and lower jaws protrude slightly, giving their mouths a vaguely spherical appearance, and their teeth are rather large and white in comparison to the rest of their face. They are omnivorous. Their most distinctive feature is the single, slit-pupilled eye situated in the middle of their forehead.

Special abilities.

• Regeneration Abyssin have this special ability at 2D. They may spend beginning skill dice to improve this ability as if it were a normal skill. Abyssin roll to regenerate after being wounded using these skill dice instead of their Strength attribute - but turn “days” into “hours”. So, an Abyssin who has been wounded rolls after three standard hours instead of three standard days to see if he or she heals. In addition, the character’s condition cannot worsen (and mortally wounded characters cannot die by rolling low).

Story factors.

• Violent Culture The Abyssin are a primitive people much like the Tusken Raiders: violent and difficult for others to understand. Abyssin approach physical violence with a childlike glee and are always eager to fight. However, they are slightly less happy to be involved in blaster fights and are of the opinion that starship combat is incredibly foolish, since you cannot regenerate once you have been explosively decompressed (this attitude has become generalized into a dislike of any type of space travel). It should be noted that the Abyssin do not think of themselves as violent or vicious. Even during a ferocious blooding, most of those involved will be injured, not killed - their regenerative factor means that they can resort to violence first and worry about consequences later.

Adarians

Pip cost 2 pips · Size 1.5 - 2 meters tall · Move 10/12 · Homeworld Adari

Dexterity 1D+1/3D+1 · Knowledge 2D/4D · Mechanical 2D/4D · Perception 1D/3D+2 · Strength 1D+2/3D+2 · Technical 2D/4D+1

Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Technical 4D+1. Below it: Dexterity 3D+1, Perception 3D+2, Strength 3D+2.

The Adarians are native to the mountainous world of Adari and are immediately recognizable by their elongated skull, which has a large hole completely piercing the head from side to side. It is possible to peer through this hole, giving rise to a number of “empty-headed” jokes (none of them ever repeated in the company of Andarians).

Special abilities.

• The average Adarian stands about 1.7 meters tall females average about five to 10 centimeters taller than males but have more slender builds. Adarians have a standard humanoid physiology and their skin varies from gray-blue to green to a startling yellow. Mottling, while rare, tends toward yellow coloration and can be found on the neck and around the upper body.
• Search When conducting a search that relies upon sound to locate an object or person, an Adarian receives a +2D bonus, due to his or her extended range of hearing. Adarians can hear in the ultrasonic and subsonic ranges, so thus will be able to hear machinery or people at extremely long distances (up to several kilometers away).
• Languages When speaking languages that require precise pronounciation (Basic, for example), an Adarian suffers a -1D penalty to this skill. When speaking languages that rely more upon tonal variation (Wookiee, for example), the Adarian suffers no penalty.
• Adarian Long Call Time to use: Two rounds. By puffing up the throat pouch (which takes one round), an Adarian can emit the subsonic vocalization known as the long call. This ultra-low-frequency emission of sound waves has a debilitaing effect on a number of species (particulary humans), causing disorientation, stomach upset, and possible unconsciousness. Any character standing within five meters of an Adarian who emits a long call suffers 3D stun damage. Strength may be used to resist this damage, but plugging the ears does not help, since it is the vibration of the brain and internal organs that does the damage. The long call may only be used safely three times per standard day; on the fourth and successive uses of the long call in any 24-hour period, an Adarian suffers stun damage himself or herself (but can use Strength to resist this damage). The long call has no debilitating effects on other Adarians. It can, however, be heard by them up to a distance of 20 kilometers in quiet, outdoor settings.

Story factors.

• Caste System Adarians are bound by a rigid sceel'saracaste system and must obey the dictates of all Adarians in higher castes. Likewise, their society is run by a planetary corporation, so all Adarians must obey the requests of this corporation, often to the detriment of their own desires and objectives.

Adnerem are a tall, slender, dark-gray species dominant on the planet Adner. The Adnerem's head is triangular with a wide brain pan and narrow face. At the top of the head is a fleshy-looking lump, which may appear to humans to be a tumor. It is, in fact, a firm, hollow, echo chamber which functions as an ear. Adnerem are bald, except for a vestigial strip of hair at the lower back of the head. Female Adnerem often grow this small patch of hair long and decorate their braids with jewelry.

Story factors.

• Behind the Scenes Adnerem like to manage affairs behind the scenes, and are seldom encountered as "front office personnel."

Special abilities.

• The Amanin (singular Amani) are a primitive people with strong bodies. They serve as heavy laborers, mercenaries, and wilderness scouts throughout the galaxy. They are easily recognizable by their unusual appearance and their tendency to carry skulls as trophies. Most other species refer to the Amanin as "Amanamen," just like Ithorians are called “Hammerheads.” The Amanin don’t seem to mind the nickname.
• Redundant Anatamy All wounds sufferd by an Amani are treated as if they were one level less. Two Kill results are needed to kill an Amani.
• Roll Increases the Amani’s Move by +10. A rolling Amani can take no other actions in the round.

They stand upright on two feet, balanced by a large tail. Their heads are longer and narrower than humans and are equipped with an impressive set of pointed teeth. Typical Anointed People dress in colorful robes and carry large cudgels; the nobility wear suits of exotic scale armor and carry nasty-looking broadswords.

Special abilities.

• Armored Bodies Anointed People have thick hides, giving them +1D against physical attacks and +2 against energy attacks.

Story factors.

• Primitive The Anointed People are a technologically primitive species and tend to be very unsophisticated.

Anomids are willowy humanoids native to the Yablari system. They typically dress in oversized dendrite robes that brush the ground around their six-toed feet. The sleeves hang below the tips of their slender, six-fingered hands, which are often gloved, and their faces are shadowed by voluminous hoods - the entire outfit keeps the sun, rain, and wind at bay.

Story factors.

• Wealthy Anomids have one of the richer societies in the Empire. Beginning characters should be granted a bonus of at least 2,000 credits.
• Pacifists Anomids tend to be pacifistic, urging conversation and understanding over conflict.

Special abilities.

• Floating Corneal Micro-Lenses Anzellans have the ability to focus on microscopic objects, giving them a +2D to all visual-based Perception and Search skills involving objects less than 30 centimeters away.
• Diminutive Anzellans are extremely small creatures, the size of most other species infants. This makes many tasks difficult for them due to their size; it also makes getting weapons and equipment more expensive as it needs to be adapted for their physical characteristics. This also makes them a harder target to hit during combat, better at stealth, but means they cannot lift as much. Customization equipment cost x1.1 and all items must be small (no larger than standard blaster pistols which are considered a 2-handed weapon like a rifle would be for standard sizes (i.e no heavy blaster pistols, or rifles without specialized carrying harnesses like standard size characters would use for medium or heavy light repeaters, etc.)
• Dodge Bonus +1D
• Sneak Bonus +1D
• Designation Sentient
• Skin color Brown, Gray
• Hair color Gray
• Eye color Black
• Diet Insects
• Language Anzellan

The Aqualish are stocky humanoids with large, hairless heads, large eyes, and inwardly-curved tusks.

There are two distinct races of Aqualish, easily recognized by the configurations of their hands. The most common Aqualish has a cupped, fin-like hand, with no fingers, and only a stubbed opposable thumb. The other race is distinguished by five-fingered, fur covered, claw-like hands.

Story factors.

• Belligerence Aqualish tend to be pushy and obnoxious, always looking for the opportunity to bully weaker beings. More intelligent Aqualish turn this belligerence into cunning and become manipulators.

Aramandi

Pip cost 3 pips · Size 1.0-1.5 meters tall · Move 6/10 · Homeworld Aram

The Aramandi are native to the high-gravity tropical world of Aram. Physically, they are short, stout, four-armed humanoids. Their skin tone runs from a light-red color to light brown, and they have four solid black eyes. The Aramandi usually dress in the traditional clothing of their akia (clan), although Aramandi who serve aboard starships have adopted styles similar to regular starship-duty clothing.

Special abilities.

• Breath Masks Whenever Aramandi are off of their homeworld or in non-Aramandi starships, they must wear special breath masks which add minute traces of vital gasses. If the mask is not worn, the Aramandi becomes very ill after six hours and dies in two days.
• Heavy Gravity Whenever Aramandi are on a planet with lighter gravity than their homeworld, they receive a +1D to Dexterity- and Strength-related skills (but not against damage), and add 2 to their Move.

Bipedal humanoids, the Arcona are scales reptiles with triangular heads and large, glittering eyes, and their skin ranges in color from mahogany through gray to ebony and bears a resemblance to fibrous wood. In place of a nose, a bulbous, diamond-shaped heat sensing organ sits between their eyes.

Special abilities.

• Digging (Strength) Time to use: One round or longer. Allows the Arcona to use their talons to dig through soil or other similar substances.
• Senses Arcona have weak long distance vision (add +10 to the difficulty level of all tasks involving vision at distances greater than 15 meters), but excellent close range senses (add +1D to all Perception skills involving heat, smell or movement when within 15 meters).
• Thick Hide Arcona have tough, armored hides that add +1D to Strength when resisting physical damage.
• Talons Arcona have sharp talons which add +1D to Climbing, Strength (when determining damage in combat during Brawling attacks), or Digging.

Askajians

Pip cost 1 pip · Size 1 - 2 meters tall · Move 10 · Homeworld Askaj

Dexterity 1D/3D · Knowledge 1D+2/4D · Mechanical 2D+1/4D · Perception 2D/5D · Strength 1D/2D · Technical 2D/5D

Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Perception 5D, Technical 5D. Below it: Dexterity 3D, Strength 2D. Floors above a Human's 2D: Mechanical 2D+1.

Askaj is a boiling desert planet located in the Outer Rim, a day's travel off the Rimma Trade Route. Few people visit this isolated world other than the traders who come to buy the luxurious tomuon fabric made by its people.

The Askajians are large, bulky, mammals who look very much like humans. Unlike humans, however, they are uniquely suited for their hostile environment. They hoard water in internal sacs, allowing them to go without for several weeks at a time. When fully distended, these sacs incease the Askajian's bulk considerably. When low on water or in less hostile environments, the Aksajians are much slimmer. An Askajian can shed up to 60 percent of his stored water without suffering.

Special abilities.

• Water Storage Askajians can effectively store water in their bodies. When traveling in desert conditions, Askajians require only a tenth of a liter of water per day.

The Barabel are vicious, bipedal reptiloids with horny, black scales of keratin covering their bodies from head to tail, and needle-like teeth, often reaching lengths of five centimeters or more, filing their huge mouths.

Special abilities.

• Natural Body Armor The black scales of the Barabel act as armor, providing a +2D bonus against physical attacks, and a +1D bonus against energy attacks.
• Radiation Resistance Because of the proximity of their homeworld to its sun, the Barabel have evolved a natural resistance to most forms of radiation. They receive a +2D bonus when defending against the effects of radiation.
• Vision Barabels can see in infrared radiation, giving them the ability to see in complete darkness, provided there are heat differentials in the environment.

Story factors.

• Jedi Respect Barabels have a deep respect for Jedi Knights, even though they have little aptitude for sensing the Force. They will almost always yield to the commands of a Jedi Knight (or a being that represents itself believably as a Jedi). Naturally, they are enemies of the enemies of Jedi (or those who impersonate Jedi).
• Reputation Barabels are reputed to be fierce warriors and great hunters, and they are often feared. Those who know of them almost always steer clear of them.

Hunchbacked, bipedal saurians, Baragwins stand out in starports and cantinas across the galaxy. The creatures’ massive heads are nearly as wide as their shoulders and rest atop muscular, broad necks. Their skin is tough and wrinkled, scaly in places, and hairless. Their hands are large and calloused, and the pads of their feet are thick.

Most Baragwins range in color from drab forest green to dark olive, although several dusky gray ones have been noted. Their eyes are typically black, with bright blue pupils. Their nostrils are broad and ever twitching, picking up scents that signal the moods of those nearby. It is said that a Baragwin can smell fear kilometers away. This is not true - they only smell fear from several meters away.

Special abilities.

• Armor Baragwins’ dense skin provides a +1D protection against physical attacks only.
• Smell Baragwin have a remarkable sense of smell and get a +1D to scent-based Search and +1D to Perception checks to determine the moods of others within five meters.

The Bimms are native to Bimmisaari. The diminutive humanoids love stories, especially stories about heroes. Heroes hold a special place in their society - a place of honor and glory. Of all the heroes the Bimms hold high, they hold the Jedi highest. Their own culture is full of hero-oriented stories which sound like fiction but are treated as history. Anyone who has ever met a Bimm can understand how the small beings could become enraptured with heroic feats, but few can imagine the same Bimms performing any.

For all their love of heroes and heroic stories, the Bimms are a peaceful, non-violent people. Weapons of violence have been banned from their world and visitors are not permitted to carry weapons upon their person while visiting their cities.

Special abilities.

• Vision Bith have the ability to focus on microscopic objects, giving them a +1D to Perception skills involving objects less than 30 centimeters away. However, as a consequence of this, the Bith have become extremely myopic. They suffer a penalty of -1D for any visual-based action more than 20 meters away and cannot see more than 40 meters under any circumstance.
• Scent Biths have well-developed sense of smell, giving them a +1D to all Perception skills when pertaining to actions and people within three meters.
• Manual Dexterity Although the Bith have low overall Dexterity scores, they do gain +1D to the performance of fine motor skills - picking pockets, surgery, fine tool operation, etc. - but not to gross motor skills such as Blaster and Dodge.

Carentan are a near human species from the planet that shared their name. They have the same racial min/max as Humans.

Long exposure to Overmind nanites and the Carentan own expertise in robotics as passed down from Cogsworth and Orion have allowed the Carentan to develop a partial natural resistance to the more esoteric effects of Cybernetics.

Special abilities.

• Cybernetic Acuity This race ignores their first cyber point in all cyber point calculations.
• Free Cybernetic This race begins with one simple cybernetic worth 1 cyber point that raises any single attribute of the player's choice by 1D.
• Appearance They look almost entirely Human and have similar variations in skin/hair/eye tone except for having small cosmetic piercings or dermal implants located at the Chakra points of the body. These range from simple silver or gold studs to more ornate and stylish jewelry. These implants are thought to help balance one's Qi and increase harmony and sensitivity to the Tao. All surviving Carentan carry both physical and emotional scars from the long interaction with the Overmind and the loss of their planet.
• Technology Before the Overmind devastated their planet, the technology level of Carentan was about equivalent to 1940/50s Earth with a few advanced technologies in the areas of robotics and repulsorlift ops. Think of fallout or early fantastic four without rockets.
• Religion/Force Use Culturally the Carentan are a deeply spiritual people who believe in the Tao, the essence of all life and that oneness with the Tao increases one's internal Qi. Carentan Mystic are those who have studied the Tao and gained some mastery over their own Qi. This is the Carentan Force tradition although they are only now beginning to recognize it as such.
• Daily Life Life on the planet was divided between a rural agricultural class and an urban city dwelling class. Most advanced technology was confined to the cities where life was fast-paced and exciting. Rural Carentans lived a simple slow-paced life in which one's means of transportation was still as likely to be an animal as a ground vehicle. Personal repulsorlift ops were virtually unheard of in the rural areas with most people seeing the local train or occasional city slicker visitor as the only examples.

Clawdites

Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Perception 4D+1. Below it: Strength 3D+2.

Clawdites were a humanoid sentient species native to the planet of Zolan. They were one of the few shape-shifting species in the galaxy and were sometimes referred to as Changelings.

In their natural form, Clawdites had the appearance of reptilian humanoids, and in fact had evolved from reptomammals. They had sunken cheeks with a narrow nose and a small mouth. A thin line ran down their foreheads and creased the center of their noses. They possessed large eyes with slit-like pupils, and their irises could be yellow, gold, or blue. Their skin was considered to be rough and ranged in color from green to yellow. Overall, their appearance was identical to that of their genetic forebears, the Zolanders.

Due to genetic manipulation, Clawdites possessed the extremely rare ability to change their appearance. When using this ability, they could change the color and texture of their skin and eyes, mimicking the appearance of other similarly shaped beings, such as Humans. Shifting into a Weequay, a species with similar facial features, was considered to be an easy task. Though they could not add physical mass to their bodies, they were able to form hair, and could actually make it quite long. Clawdites were also able to mimic the appearance of clothing or jewelry, provided that the item laid directly on their skin, as it was merely a manipulation of their skin's texture. They could not change the appearance of their actual clothing and had to rely on holographic technology in order to change such items.

The growth of their abilities mainly relied upon a Clawdite's age. Younglings were only able to change color, a talent that began at infancy, and baby Clawdites used different hues and colors to indicate their needs to their parents.

Unlike most shape-changing species, the Clawdite's shifting abilities actually caused them great physical discomfort. While the range of their abilities varied in individuals, with both age and practice, they could work through the pain of changing in order to alter their appearance in more and more extreme ways. Even the most talented Clawdite, however, lacked the fine coordination it would take to mimic a specific individual's appearance precisely. Only a very talented Clawdite was able to sleep and retain their altered form. If a Clawdite was suitably distracted or hurt, and certainly if they were killed, they would revert to their true form.

Special abilities.

• (A)Shapeshift (Perception) Some Clawdites have developed their skin-changing talents to a greater degree, allowing them to change the length, color, shape, and texture of their hair, as well as the coloration of their eyes. This fine control can even be used to alter specific portions of the Clawdite's body. This skill counts as an Advanced skill, with a prerequisite of the Con: Disguise skill specialization at 5D or greater. The Shapeshift skill adds its dice to any Con: Disguise die rolls made to imitate a member of a different humanoid species.
• Skin-Changer Clawdites are able to change the color, texture, and shape of their skins, allowing a Clawdite to mimic that of another humanoid species of the same general physical shape. This does not allow Clawdites to generate extra limbs or other appendages, but they are able to imitate the texture and patterns of skin-tight clothing. The transformation is quite painful, and the skin-changer will revert to its normal form if stunned, unconscious, dying, or dead.
• Designation Sentient
• Classification Changeling
• Skin color Green to yellow
• Eye color Yellow
• Average lifespan Up to 70 standard years

Female Dathomiri often live as witches. Their society is matriarchal in nature, and the Nightsisters are particularly dominant. Nightsisters are particularly skilled in using dark side magick which has such powers as raising the dead or making one invisible. Some female Dathomirians live in clans, while others are of no clan. There are different witch clans on Dathomir, which include the Nightsisters, the Nardithi Nightsisters, the Blue Coral Divers Clan, the Singing Mountain, and the Howling Crag.

The Draedans have a reputation for spending more time fighting amonst themselves than for anything else. This amphibious species would likely join the galactic community, but their society is still split into many countries and it's widely believed that they would only allow their local conflicts to spill out into open space. As modern weapons make their way to the homeworld of Sesid, the intensity of Draedan conflicts is only increasing.

Special abilities.

• Prehensile Tail The tail of the Draedans is prehensile, and they may use it as a third hand. Some experienced Draedans keep a hold-out blaster strapped to their backs within reach of the tail.
• Claws Draedans get a +1D to Climbing and +1D to physical damage due to their claws.
• Amphibians Due to their cold-blooded nature, Draedans may have to make a Difficult Stamina roll once per 15 minutes to avoid collapsing in extreme heat (above 50 standard degrees) or cold (below -5 standard degrees).
• Water Breathing Draedans may breathe water and air.
• Moist Skin Draedan must keep their scales from drying out. They must immerse themselves in water once per 20 hours in moderately moist environments or oncer per four hours in very dry environments. Any Draedan who fails to do this will suffer extreme pain, causing a -1D penalty to all actions for one hour. After that hour, the Draedan is so paralyzed by pain that he or she is incapable of moving or any other actions.

As the Galactic Civil War continues across the Empire, whole systems have thrown in with the Rebel Alliance. In many of these systems, whole populations join the Rebellion not over political ideology, but for mere survival. The Dresselians are one such people. The technologically primitive people fight the Empire every day, but their exploits are not subject to medals or ceremonies. They fight only to protect their homes.

The Dresselians are tall, thin, wrinkled-skinned humanoid aliens, giving rise to the nickname "prune face." They have elongated hairless skulls.

Story factors.

• Occupied Homeworld The Dresselian homeworld is currently occupied by the Empire. The Dresselians are waring a guerrilla war to reclaim their planet.

The Ebranites are a species of climbing omnivores native to the giant canyons of Ebra, the second planet of the Dousc system. Ebra's seemingly endless mountains seem unbearably harsh, yet these aliens have thrived in the planet's sheltered caves and canyons. Ebranite settlements form around small wells deep in the caves, where supplies of pure water feed abundant fungi and thick layers of casanivne.

Ebranites are stocky omnivores highly adapted to rocky terrain. They have six multi-jointed arms with six-digited hands, each with four long fingers and two opposable thumbs. Their stubby feet posses three large clawed toes and a thumb-like appendage at the heel which enables the Ebranite to grasp any solid terrain with their feet.

Special abilities.

• Rock Climbing All Ebranites gain a +2D bonus to Climbing in rough terrain such as mountains, canyons, and caves.
• Rock Camouflage All Ebranites gain a +1D+2 bonus to Sneak in rocky terrain due to their skin coloration and natural affinity for such places.
• Thick Hides All Ebranites have a very thick hide, which gains them a +2 Strength bonus against physical damage.
• Vision Ebranites can see in the infrared spectrum, allowing them to see in complete darkness provided there are heat sources.
• Frenzy When believing themselves to be in immediate danger, Ebranites often enter a frenzy in which they attack the perceived source of danger. They gain +1D to Brawling or Brawling Parry. A frenzied Ebranite can be calmed by companions, with a Moderate Persuasion or Command check.

Story factors.

• Technology Distrust Most Ebranites have a general dislike and distrust for items of higher technology, prefering their simpler items. Some Ebranites, however, especially those in the service of the Alliance, are becoming quite adept at the use of high-tech items.

While they can survive in cooler temperatures found in the harsh conditions of the desert, they perfer the cooler temperatures found in the extreme regions of their world and on other planets. Their front two legs have dexterous three-toed feet, which they also use for tool manipulation (a Filvian can walk on two legs, but they are much slower when forced to move in this manner). They have a large water- and fat-storage hump along their backs, as well as several smaller body glands that serve the same function and give their bodies a distinctive "bumpy" appearance. They have a covering of short, fine hair, which ranges from light brown to yellow or white in color.

Gands

Gands are short, stocky three-fingered humanoids that typically have green, gray, or brown skin, and are roughly the same height as average humans. The Gand's biology - like most everything else regarding this enigmatic species - remains largely unstudied; the Gands have made it quite clear to every sentientologist who has approached them that they will not provide any information about themselves, nor allow themselves to be studied. There are currently believed to be approximately a dozen Gand subspecies (though the differentiation between each Gand race is not fully understood).

Special abilities.

• Choose 5 of the following options
• Ammonia Breathers Most Gands do not respire. However, there is a small number of Gands that are of older evolutionary stock and do respire in the traditional sense. These Gands are ammonia breathers and find other gases toxic to their respiratory system-including oxygen.
• Exoskeleton The ceremonial chemical baths of some findsmen initiation promote the growth of pronounced knobby bits on a Gand's exoskeleton. The bits on a Gand's arms or legs can be used as rough, serrated weapons in close-quarter combat and will do Strength +1 damage when brawling.
• Eye Shielding Most Gands have a double layer of eye-shielding. The first layer is composed of a transparent keratin-like substance: the Gand suffers no adverse effects from sandstorms or conditions with other airborne debris. The Gands’ second layer of eye protection is an exceptionally durable chitin that can endure substantial punishment. For calculating damage, this outer layer has the same Strength as the character.
• Findsman Ceremonies Gands use elaborate and arcane rituals to find prey. Whenever a Gand uses a ritual (which takes at least three hours) he gains a +2D to track a target.
• Mist Vision Having evolved on a mist-enshrouded world, Gands receive a +2D advantage to Perception and relevant skills in environments obscured by smoke, fog, or other gases.
• Natural Armor Gands have limited clavicular armor about their shoulders and neck, which provides +2 physical protection to that region (they are immune to nerve or pressure point strikes to the neck or shoulders.)
• Regeneration Many Gands - particularly those who have remained on their homeworld or are of one of the very traditional sects - can regenerate lost limbs (fingers, arms, legs, and feet). Once a day, a Gand must make a Strength or stamina roll; a Very Difficult roll results in 20 percent regeneration; a Difficult will result in 15 percent; a Moderate will result in 10 percent regeneration. Any roll below Moderate will not assist a Gand's healing process, and the character must wait until the next day to roll.
• Reserve Sleep Most Gands need only a fraction of the sleep most living beings require. They can “store” sleep for times when being unconscious is not desirable. As such, the Gand need not make stamina rolls with the same frequency as most characters for purposes of determining the effects of sleep-deprivation. Unless otherwise stated, this is an assumed trait in a Gand.
• Ultraviolet Vision Gand can see in the ultraviolet color spectrum.
• Martial Arts Some Gand are trained in a specialized form of combat developed by a band of findsman centuries ago. The tenets of the art are complex and misunderstood, but the few that have been described. Two techniques are described below. There are believed to be many more.
• - “Piercing Touch” Description The findsman can use his chitinous fist to puncture highly durable substances and materials. Difficulty: Very Difficult Effect: If the character rolls successfully (and is not parried or dodged), the strike does STR+2D damage and can penetrate bone, chitin, and assorted armors.
• - “Striking Mist” Description The findsman can sneak close enough to an opponent to prevent the victim from dodging or parrying the blow. Difficulty: Difficult Effect: If the character rolls successfully, and rolls a successful sneak versus his opponent’s Perception, the findsman’s strike cannot be dodged or parried. The Gand must declare whether they are striking to injure or immobilize the victim prior to making the attempt.

Planet Veron's consistently warm climate has encouraged the evolution of several lifeforms that are cold-blooded. The most intelligent are the Garzaran - short bipedal creatures with several layers of scales. They have very thin membranes extending from their ribs, feet and hands, which they use to glide among the trees. Specialized muscles line the ribs so that they can control the shape and angle of portions of the membranes, giving them the ability to perform delicate maneuvers around trees and other obstacles. Their bodies are gray or brown in color, and each limb is linded with a crest of cartilage. Sharp claws give them excellent climbing abilities.

Special abilities.

• Gliding Gazaran can glide. On standard-gravity worlds, they can glide up to 30 meters per round and on heavy-gravity worlds, that distance is reduced to five meters.
• Temperature Sensitivity Gazaran are very sensitive to temperature. At temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius or less, reduce all actions by -1D. At a temperature of 25 degrees or less, the penalty goes to -2D, at 20 degrees the penalty is -3D and -4D at less than 15 degrees. At temperatures of less than 10 degrees, Gazaran go into hibernation; if a Gazaran remains in that temperature for more than 28 hours, he dies.

Story factors.

• Superstitious Gazaran player characters should pick something they are very afraid of (the cold, the dark, strangers, spaceships, the color black, etc.).

Givin appear (visually) to be the animated skeletons of a humanoid race, because unlike most vertebrates, they carry their bone-white skeletons on the exterior of their bodies. Their large, triangular eye sockets dominate their faces, giving them perpetually sad, anguished expressions, and a small, frowning mouth only adds to this impression. Though the Givin are generally humanoid in shape, they are rather thin and tubular, with oddly working body joints. They must carry their arms and legs "held out" from their bodies, like reptiles, giving them the appearance of Twi'lek string puppets.

Special abilities.

• Mathematical Aptitude Givin recieve a bonus of +2D when using skills involving mathematics, including Astrogation. They can automatically solve most "simple" equations (gamemaster option).
• Vacuum Protection Every Givin has a built-in vacuum suit which will protect it from a vacuum or harsh elements. Add +2D to a Givin's Strength or Stamina rolls when resisting such extremes. For a Givin to survive for 24 standard hours in complete vacuum, it must make an Easy roll, with the difficulty level increasing by one every hour thereafter.
• Increased Consumption Givin must eat three times the food a normal Human would consume or they lose their Vacuum Protection. Roughly, a Givin must consume about nine kilograms of food over a 24 hour period to remain healthy.

Gorothites

Pip cost 1 pip · Size 2 - 2.5 meters tall · Move 10/13 · Homeworld Goroth Prime

Dexterity 1D+2/5D · Knowledge 1D/4D+2 · Mechanical 2D/4D · Perception 2D/4D · Strength 1D/2D+2 · Technical 1D/3D

Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Dexterity 5D, Knowledge 4D+2. Below it: Strength 2D+2, Technical 3D.

Goroth Prime was once a lush, forested world, but is now a wasteland, thanks to a lethal orbital bombardment that occurred during an Aqualish-Corellian war (this cataclysmic event is referred to as the Scouring). The native Gorothites survived only because they are hardy people.

Gorothites are reptilian in appearance, with an elongated and slightly flattened snout. They have sloping foreheads. Their brain cases are large, bulging out and back at the rear of the skull. The positioning of their eyes provides true binocular vision.

Special abilities.

• Hyperbaride Immunity Gorothites are less affected than humans by the contiminants in the air, water and food of their world.
• Smell Gorothites have a highly developed sense of smell, getting a +1D to their Search skill when tracking by scent. This ability may not be improved.

Story factors.

• Enslaved Although the Colonial Government uses the term “client-workers,” the Gorothites are effectively slaves of the Empire. Gorothites are offically restricted to their world. Attempting to leave Goroth Prime is a crime punishable by imprisonment. A Gorothite who has managed to escape the planet is considered a “fugitive from justice” by the Empire, to be incarcerated and returned to Goroth Prime if caught (if the Imperial forces who find her have the time and inclination to do so). Gorothites are considered a very minor problem and do not receive the same “attention” as a fugitve Wookiee would.
• Parental Instinct Adults instantly respond to the cries of a young Gorothite, whether the child is a part of their family or not. They are driven to protect the child, even if this puts themselves at extreme risk.
• Family Bonds Gorothites have a strongly developed sense of family honor. Any action taken by (or against) an individual Gorothite reflects on the entire family. Gorothites would rather die than bring dishonor to their family.

The Gran are beige-skinned humanoids with black eyes on three eyestalks. They have ridges and small horns at the top and back of their skulls. A Gran has a long jawbone jutting out underneath his or her eyestalks.

Special abilities.

• Vision Grans' unique combination of eyestalks gives them a larger spectrum of vision than other species. They can see well into the infrared range (no penalties in darkness), and gain a bonus of +1D to notice sudden movements.

The Gungans are omnivorous humanoids native to the swamps of the Outter Rim world of Naboo. Centuries agao, they abandoned life on the surface of the world. They now live at the bottom of deep lakes and in the ocean. Gungans are technologically advanced, relying mostly on forms of biotech that allow them to not so much build their homes and production facilities as grow them. They take great cultural pride in coexisting with nature, manufacturing as much as possible from the natural resources of their underwater habitat while taking great strides to create items that blend with it.

Special abilities.

• Exceptional Hearing +2 on hearing based Perception checks.
• Low-light Vision +2 on vision based Perception checks in low-light.
• Swimming +1D to all swimming checks.
• Breathing Gungans can hold their breath for a base of 15 minutes. Add 1 minute for every 5 points rolled on a Stamina check.

Herglics are native to the planet Giju along the Rimma Trade Route, but because their trade empire once dominated this area of space, they can be found on many planets in the region, including the Freewordls of Tapani sector.

Herglics are huge bipeds who seem to have evolved from water-dwelling mammals. They are tall, extremely wide and fairly strong, with smooth, hairless skin that ranges in color from light blue to nearly black. Most evidence of a water origin has been bred out of the species. Fins and flukes, for example, have been replaced by arms and legs. They still breathe through a blowhole, however.

Special abilities.

• Natural Body Armor The thick layer of blubber beneath the outer skin of a Herglic provides +1D against physical attacks. It gives no bonus to energy attacks.

Story factors.

• Gambling Frenzy Herglics, when exposed to games of chance, find themselves irresistibly drawn to them. A Herglic who passes by a gambling game must make a Moderate willpower check to resist the powerful urge to play. They may be granted a bonus to their roll if it is critical or life-threatening for them to play.

Ho'Din means "walking flower" in the native tongue of the Ho'Din, and that name suits this species well. Their coloration and their slender shape, topped by their full head of snakelike tresses, covered with gleaming scales in shades of red and violet, combine to give them the appearance of a giant wuppa flower in full bloom.

Story factors.

• Nature Worship The Ho’Din will go to great lengths to ensure the survival of the planet, considering the existence of plants to be more important than the existence of animal organisms.

The Wookiees of Kashyyyk are generally recognized as the single strongest intelligent species in the galaxy. A close second to the Wookiees in sheer brute force are the Houk. They are feared throughout the galaxy for their strength and their consistently violent tempers.

The Houk are hulking humanoids with deep violet or dark blue skin, and tiny, piercing yellow eyes set deep in their thick, bone-ridged skull. They average 200 kilograms and are normally over two meters tall.

Story factors.

• Belligerence For most Houk, violence is often the only means to achieving a desired end. Most Houk are generally regarded as brutes who cannot be trusted.
• Imperial Experiment Subjects Many Houk have disappeared after being taken custody by Imperial science teams.

The Iotrans are a people with a long military history. A strong police force protects their system territories and the large number of Iotrans who find employment as mercenaries and bounty hunters perpetuate the stereotype of the militaristic and deadly Iotran warrior…an image that is not far from the truth.

The Iotrans are a resilient species. Their shoulders, elbows, and hands posses short, sturdy spikes that protect them from would-be assailants. Their hands possess three strong fingers and a thick thumb, while their feet have two large fore digits.

Story factors.

• Military Training Nearly all Iotrans have basic military training.

Ceilings below a Human's 4D: Mechanical 3D+2, Technical 3D+1.

The Jenet are, by nearly all standars, ugly, quarrelsome bipeds with pale, pink skin, and red eyes. A sparse white fuzz covers their thin bodies, becoming quite thick and matted above their pointed ears, while long stiff wiskers - which twitch briskly when the Jenet speak - grow on both sides of their noses. Their lanky arms end in dexterous, long fingered hands with fully opposable thumbs.

Special abilities.

• Enhanced Memory A Jenet that has at least 1D in any Knowledge skill automatically gains a +1D bonus to the use of that skill because of its memory.
• Astrogation Because Jenets can memorize coordinates and formulas, a Jenet with at least 1D in Astrogation gains a +1D to its roll.
• Hearing Jenets' advanced hearing gives them a bonus of +1D for Perception checks involving hearing.
• Flexibility Jenets can disjoint their limbs to fit through incredibly small openings.

Story factors.

• Tactless Despite their memories, the Jenet have not learned the secrets of tact. They will freely embarrass or insult any other being which they encounter. Among other Jenets, this is of no concern, for the embarrassed or insulted partly usually possesses knowledge which it in turn can use to offend its offender. In the Jenets, this type of interaction is a measure of pride - if you cannot be insulted, then you have not gained enough notoriety - however, other beings are not as understanding.
• Reputation Value Jenet value reputations. When they introduce their friends, they will describe their friends’ accomplishments in glowing, often exaggeratory, terms. Their enemies get less favorable treatment. A few Jenet are sensitive when they are not introduced in the same way by their non-Jenet friends (their Jenet friends will always remember to do this). Sometimes, this presents difficulties for those seeking discretion

In addition, it also gives them a +1D bonus to any Strength rolls for the purposes of clutching objects or living creatures. The Jiivahar cleanse themselves of the sarvin through controlled perspiration; it takes one round to do this.

The Kian'thar of Shaum Hii are a nomadic people who roam the vast seas of their world, raising herds of airborne derlacs. These aliens are a proud species with a sense of wanderlust and an appetite for hard work.

The Kian'thar have large, deep-set, watery eyes and olfactory organs that consist of two dangling appendages with numerous sensitive protrusions. Their purplish-pink heads have noticeably raised cheek bones and large keratin-like plates protecting the neck. Their skin is well-suited to the aquatic environment on Shaum Hii, a sea and marsh planet on the outskirts of the Tragan Cluster, one of the many sectors in the Outer Rim Territories.

Special abilities.

• Emotion Sense Kian'thar can sense the intentions and emotions of others. They begin with this special ability at 2D and can advance it like a skill at double the normal cost for skill advancement; Emotion Sense cannot exceed 6D. When trying to use this ability, the base difficulty is Easy (10), with an additional +3 to the difficulty for every meter away the target is. Characters can resist this ability by making Perception or Control rolls: for every four points they get on their roll (round down), add +1 to the Kian'thar's difficulty number.

Story factors.

• Reputation People are often wary of the Kian’thars’ ability to detect emotions. Assign modifiers as appropriate.

Special abilities.

• Psychometry This ability to use the Force seemed to be unique to the Kiffar race, and allowed an individual to discern past events by coming in contact with inanimate objects. A Jedi using psychometry would be able to view events from the viewpoint of the object's holder, as well as to feel the holder's emotions. While the Jedi Council did not prohibit the use of psychometry, it expressed forbade the use of psychometry on a dead body. To use this skill the individual Kiffar must be force sensitive. This skill is similar to the force skill Postcognition except a non force user can use it by rolling a perception roll. Force users can see from the viewpoint of the objects holder but if this skill is used on a dead body the user gains a dark side point. Use the rules for Postcognition for both situations.

Kitonaks are one of the toughest species in the galaxy. Their tough, leathery hide can withstand all but the roughest abrassions, acting as a natural armor that covers the Kitonak totally, sealing all bodily openings. In fact, with the exception of their arms and feet, nothing of significant vulnerability protrudes from their bodies.

Kitonaks have two pudgy arms, each ending in four short, stubby - yet surprisingly nimble - fingers. Their mushroom-cap heads have two eyes, ears, and a mouth, none of which are obvious to the casual observer.

Special abilities.

• Natural Armor The Kitonak's skin provides +3D against physical attacks.

Story factors.

• Interminable Patience Kitonak do not like to be rushed. They resist attempts to rush them to do things at +3D to the relevant skill. In story terms, they seem slow and patient - and stubborn - to those who do not understand them.

The Klatooinan people have been in the service of the Hutts since before the rise of the Old Republic. They were co-signers of an ancient contract that placed them, the Nikto and the Vodrans into Hutt servitude. Now, as the fire of Rebellion burns across the galaxy, a number of Klatooinans have rejected the Hutts as their masters, and begun the search for their own identities.

The Klatooinans are tall, humanoid beings with coarse skin ranging in color from olive green to dark brown. They have flat, vaguely canine muzzles, and dark eyes under heavy brows.

The Krytollaks are a species that virtually worships Emperor Plapatine. These aliens come from Thandruss, a world with a rigid social structure and a staunchly pro-Imperial government. The Krytollaks have a reputation among other species for "having skulls as thick as their shells."

The Krytollaks are a warm-blooded species that have both a hard internal skeleton and a tough outer shell. The shell have several different plates, while the muscles work with the skeleton and plates to provide movement. Most Krytollak shells are dull brown or black, but a few have green shells. The Krytollaks see green shells as an outward sign of greatness.

Special abilities.

• Shell A Krytollak's thick shell provides +1D+2 physical, +2 energy protection.

Kubaz eyes are extremely large and sensitive to the red wavelengths of light, so they wear protective lenses in most foreign environments.

Ceilings above a Human's 4D: Perception 5D. Floors above a Human's 2D: Perception 3D.

Special abilities.

• Kinetic Communication Time to use: One round to one minute. This is the ability of Lorrdians to communicate with one another through hand gestures, facial tics, and very subtle body movements. Unless the Lorrdian trying to communicate is under direct observation, the difficulty is Very Easy. When a Lorrdian is under direct observation, the observer must roll a Perception check to notice that the Lorrdian is communicating a message; the difficulty to spot the communication is the Lorrdians’s kinetic communicationtotal. Individuals who know telekinetic conversation are considered fluent in that “language” and will need to make rolls to understand a message only when it is extremely technical or detailed.
• Body Language Time to use: One round. Traditionally raised Lorrdians can interpret body gestures and movements, and can often tell a person’s disposition just by their posture. Given enough time, a Lorrdian can get a fairly accurate idea of a person’s emotional state. The difficulty is determined based on the target’s state of mind and how hard the target is trying to conceal his or her emotional state. Allow a Lorrdian character to make a body language or Perception roll based on the difficulties below. These difficulties should be modified based on a number of factors, including if the Lorrdian is familiar with the person’s culture, whether the person is attempting to coneal their feelings, or if they are using unfamiliar gestures or mannerisms. Difficulty Emotional State Very Easy Extremely intense state (rage, hate, intense sorrow, ecstatic). Easy Intense emotional state (agitation, anger, happiness). Moderate Moderate emotional state (one emotion is slightly significant over all others). Difficult Mild emotion or character is actively trying to hide emotional state (must make a willpower roll to hide emotion; base difficulty on intensity of emotion; Very Difficult for extremely intense emotion, Difficult for intense emotion, Moderate for moderate emotion, Easy for mild emotion, Very Easy for very mild emotion). Very Difficult Very Mild emotion or character is very actively trying to hide emotional state.
• Kinetic Communication Lorrdians can communicate with one another by means of a language of subtle facial expressions, muscle ticks and body gestures. In game terms, this means that two Lorrdians who can see one another can surreptitiously communicate in total silence. This is a special ability because the language is so complex that only an individual raised fully in the Lorrdian culture can learn the subtleties of the language.

Story factors.

• Former Slaves Lorrdians were enslaved during the Kanz Disorders and have a great sympathy for any who are enslaved now. They will never knowingly deal with slavers, or turn their back on a slave who is trying to escape.

Special abilities.

• Technological Ignorance While the Lurrians have a highly advanced culture, it is based on engineered life forms rather than technology. They suffer a penalty of -2D when operating machinery, vehicles, normal weapons, and other items of technology. This penalty is incurred until the Lurrian has had a great deal of experience with technology.

Story factors.

• Genetics Lurrians have highly developed knowledge of genetics. Lurrian characters raised in the Lurrian culture must place 2D of their beginning skill dice in genetics, (they may place up to 3D in the skill) but receive double the number of dice for the skill at the time of character creation.
• Enslaved Many Lurrians have been enslaved in recent years. Because of this, the Lurrians are fearful of humans and other aliens.

M'Shinni

Pip cost 1 pip · Size 1.5 - 2.2 meters tall · Move 8/11 · Homeworld Genassa

The M'shinni long ago in their evolutionary history entered into a symbiotic relationship with a plant species native to their homeworld. The M'shinni are approximately the same size and shape as Humans, but their hairless bodies are completely coered by a soft, thick coating of plant growth. Only the palms of the hands and soles of the feet are bare.

Special abilities.

• M'Shinni (singular M'shinn) are a species of humanoids who are immediately recognizable by the planet covering that coats their entire bodies, leading to the nickname "Mossies." Skilled botanists and traders, they are known for their close-knit, family-run businesses and extensive knowledge of terraforming.
• Natural Healing If a M'shinn suffers a form of damage that does not remove her plant covering (for example, a blow from a blunt weapon, or a piercing or slashing weapon that leaves only a narrow wound), the natural healing time is halved due to the beneficial effects of the plant. However, if the damage involves the removal of the covering, the natural healing time is one and a half times the normal healing time. Should a M'shinn lose all of her plant covering, this penalty becomes permanent. A M'shinn can be healed in bacta tanks or through standard medicines, but these medicines will also kill the plant covering in the treated area. The M'shinni have developed their own bacta and medpac analogs which have equivalent healing powers for M'shinn but do not damage the plant covering; these specialized medical treatments are useless for other species.

Marasans

Like the Yaka and the mysterious Iskalloni, the Marasans are a speicies of cyborged sentients. The marasans come from the Marasa Nebula, an expanse of energized gas that effectively cut the species off from the rest of the galaxy for thousands of years. The Marasans turned to technology to free them from their dark, chaotic world, and venture into the universe. However, technology has also led them to be subjugated by the Empire.

Marasans are large marsupials, with tubular bodies supported by muscular legs. They have long, thin arms with large, clumsy hands. Marasans have tiny eyes, supplemented by a pair of sensory stalks growing from the corners of their large mouths. A thin, silver band of electronic harware wraps around the base of the Marasan skull.

Special abilities.

• Cybernetic Astrogation Marasans have a nav-computer built into their brains, giving them a +1D bonu to Astrogation rolls when outside Marasa Nebula, and a +2D bonus when within the nebula. They never have to face the "no nav computer" penalty when astrogating.
• Computerized Mind Marasans can solve complex problems in their minds in half the time required for other species. In combat round situations, this means they can perform two Knowledge or Technical skills as if they were one action. However, any complex verbal communications or instructions take twice as long and failing the skill roll by any amount means that the Marasan has made a critical mistake in his or her explanation. Marasans can communicate cybernetically over a range of up to 100 meters; to outside observors, they are communicating silently.
• Cyborged Beings Marasans suffer stun damage (add +1D to the damage value of the weapon) from any ion or DEMP weaponry or other electrical fields which adversely affect droids. If the Marasan is injured in the attack, any First Aid or Medicine rolls are at +5 for a Marasan healer and +10 for a non-Marsan healer.

The Neimoidians are the dominate sapient species in a handful of planetary systems within the same sector as their homeworld, Neimoidia. The Neimoidia system itself is scarcely populated, since Neimoidians in general prefer to live offworld. Clothing represents status in Neimoidian society, which is why most Neimoidians traveling abroad favor long robes of rich fabrics with elaborate collars, hats, and cloaks.

Special abilities.

• Neimoidians have two primary motivations to control their surroundings at all times and to aquire as much wealth and power as they can. The latter goal might seem a logical means of attaining the former, but to a Neimoidian, the pursuit of wealth and power is an end unto itself. Such traits gave rise to the Trade Federation, one of the most powerful and influential economic forces in the Galactic Republic. Not all Neimoidians serve the Trade Federation, but few independent Neimoidians get by without maintaining strong ties to the Trade Federation and its members.

The Nikto are a species who have had a long relationship with the Hutts. They have served as their enforcers, and of the three species the Hutts absorbed from the Siklaata Cluster - the Klatooinans, the Nikto and the Vodrans - the Nikto are easily the most dangerous. There is a dangerous religious sect known as the Cult of M'dweshuu which has become increasingly influential in Nikto culture and is only heightening the tensions prevalent in their society.

The Nikto are reptilians originating on the planet Kintan, deep in the heart of the Si'Klaata Cluster. Due to cataclysmic events in the planet's ancient past, several distinct races of Nikto evolved. While they have pronounced cosmetic differences, they are genetically compatible and can interbreed. When Nikto of two different races mate, over 93% of the resulting offspring have the characteristics of only one race; a mere 7% of these children "mix" physical characteristics of both parents.

Special abilities.

• Vision Nikto have a natural eye-shielding of a transparent keratian-like substance. They suffer no adverse effects from sandstorms or smiliar conditions, nor does their vision blur underwater.
• Choose one of these three
• Kajain'sa'Nikto Stamina These Nikto have great stamina in desert environments. They recieve a +1D bonus to both Survival: Desert and Stamina rolls.
• Kadas'sa'Nikto Claws Their claws add +1D to Climbing and do STR+2 damage.
• Esral'sa'Nikto Fins These Nikto can withstand great extremes in temperatures for long peroids. Their advanced hearing gives them a +1 bonus to Search and Perception rolls relating to hearing.

Of the alien species conquered and forced into servitude by the Hutts, the Nimbanese have the distinction of being the only ones who actively petitioned the Hutts and requested to be brought into their servituded. These beings had already established themselves as capable bankers and bureaucrats, and sold these impressive credentials into service.

Special abilities.

• The Nimbanese (singular Nimbanel) are humanoid reptiles, with endothermic metabolisms (they are warmblooded), and pale, scaless skin. They have large, circular, lidless eyes, a protruding snout, and tuffs of hair growing from their cheeks, and occasionally from the top of their heads. The Nimbanese are an oviparous species, producing their young in eggs that take approximately three standard months to develop and hatch.

Noehons are jungle insectoids and have small, rounded bodies with two legs and four arms. Their bodies are covered with bristly hairs. Their natural coloration is a mottled green.

Special abilities.

Special abilities.

• Horns Nosaurians possess six horns on the tops of their heads that they can employ as weapons. Goring an opponent with these horns inflicts STR+1 damage.
• Internal Clock Nosaurians attuned to the planet they are living on instinctively know when the sun is setting. They usually accompany the setting sun by braying at the top of their lungs. This is largely involuntary, and any Nosaurian wishing to resist the urge to “sing it [the sun] down” must succeed at a Very Difficult willpower skill roll.

Story factors.

• Color Blind Nosaurians only see in black and white. While they are not typically affected by this, they may have difficulty interpreting color-coded computer displays or vehicle controls that they are unfamiliar with.
• Phosphorescent Mouth Lining A Nosaurian can make the lining of his mouth phosphorescent at will. Although many animals on New Plympto use similar abilities to attract prey, it grants no appreciable bonus to Nosaurian characters.
• Resentful of Humans Nosaurians blame Republic politicians (and humans in general) for financial problems suffered on their homeworld of New Plympto. These feelings were further compounded by a heavy-handed Imperial subjugation of their planet.
