NEW Species
As travelers throughout the Star Wars galaxy are well aware,
space is a very diverse place. From busy spaceports to wretched
hives of scum and villainy, there is no shortage of new and alien
beings to encounter.
BITH
Bith have been part of the Galactic
Republic for thousands of years.
Intellectually advanced humanoids,
Bith have oversized brains evolved to
handle abstract skills such as language,
mathematics, music, and scientific
analysis. Music, in fact, is a vital and
revered pursuit in Bith society. Bith musicians are relatively
common (and welcome) and can be found playing in
extravagant opera houses, seedy cantinas, and everything in
between.
Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 2,
and Charisma increases by 1.
Size. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Languages. You know Basic, Bith, and two other languages of
your choice.
Evolved Intellect. You gain proficiency in Performance and
one Intelligence-based skill of your choice.
Scent. You can track creatures with the Wisdom (Survival)
skill using your sense of smell, and any Wisdom (Perception)
checks you make using smell have Advantage.
Trance. Bith do not need to sleep. Instead, they meditate
deeply, remaining semiconscious for 4 hours a day. After resting
in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from
8 hours of sleep.
CHISS
Originating on the cold world of Csilla
in the Unknown Regions, the Chiss are
largely unknown themselves to the
greater galactic community. As such
they remain enigmatic, secretive, and
xenophobic. Their origins are a
mystery even to the Chiss themselves,
though some believe they are descended from an isolated
human colony now lost to time. The Chiss are technologically
advanced, keenly interested in art and science, and skilled at
mathematics. Though logical in their mindset, they are also
appreciative of philosophy and interested in other cultures.
FALLEEN
Of all the species to populate the
galaxy, none are better known for
their intoxicating appearance than
the Falleen. An exotic reptilian
people, they are favored for their
chiseled physiques and entrancing
features. These qualities along
would solidify their place among
the more handsome species, but their pheromones make them
irresistible to other species.
Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 2,
and Strength increases by 1.
Size. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Languages. You know Basic and Falleen.
Hold Breath. You can hold your breath for a number of
minutes equal to ten times your Constitution modifier
(minimum of 5 minutes) before suffocating.
Pheromones. You have advantage on any Charisma-based
skill check you make, as long as the target is within 30 feet. In
addition, when a creature within range makes a Charismabased skill check against you, you can use your reaction to
cause them to make their check at disadvantage.
Pheromones function as an inhaled poison. Any creature that
is holding its breath, immune to poison, or another Falleen, is
immune to this effect.

GOTAL
Gotls are tall being covered in thick fur
that come from the moon Antar 4, one
of several that orbit the gas giant Antar
in the Pindaar System. The moon has a
highly unusual cycle of light and dark,
sometimes illuminated brightly and
other times shrouded in complete
darkness. To compensate for these
uncertain conditions, Gotals evolved specials cones atop their
heads that sense subtle shifts in the electromagnetic field,
allowing them to operate in light or dark without hindrance.
The cones are sensitive enough to sense not only the presence
of living creatures nearby but also a creatures mood or intent.
Ability Score Increase. Your increase any two ability scores
of your choice by 1.
Size. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Energy Reading. You are proficient in Insight. You also have
advantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks to determine a
creatures emotional state if it is within 30 feet of you.
Sensor Cones. As an action you can sense your surroundings
in a 30 foot radius. Creatures that attack you within this radius
and before the start of your next turn have disadvantage on
their attack roll.
Superior Low-Light Vision: You can see twice as far as a
HERGLIC
Herglics are hulking bipeds that
evolved from water-dwelling
mammals on the planet Giju. Their
ancestors fins and flukes have been
replaced by arms and legs, although
Herglics still breathe through
blowholes on the tops of their heads.
Herglics are honorable and upright,
yet risk-takers and thrill-seekers.
They love meeting new being and experiencing the sights and
sounds of new places.
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 2,
and Charisma increases by 1.
Size. Herglics stand between 7 to 8 feet tall and weigh
between 300 to 450 lbs. Your size is Large.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Languages. You know Basic and Herglic.
Sturdy. You are solidly built and literally have tough skin.
When you take damage, you can use your reaction to roll a d12.
Add your Constitution modifier to the number rolled, and
reduce the damage by that total. After you use this trait, you
cant use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Powerful Build. You count as one size larger when
determining your carrying capacity and the weight you
can push, drag, or lift.
Talker. You are proficient in Persuasion.
JAWA
Jawas are short humanoids native to
Tatooine. The Jawas have a poor
reputation and are regarded as
thieves at best, vermin at worst. Their
off-putting nature is made worse by
the sour smell that clings to them and
their inexplicable and nonsensical
language. Jawas survive by scavenging lost technology in
the desert wastes. Lost for Jawas ambiguous; they are
likely to snatch up anything that isnt bolted down.
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2
and your Intelligence score increases by 1.
Size. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 25 feet.
Languages. You know Basic, Jawa, and a shorthand version of
their native language known as Jawa Trade which is far easier
for outsiders to learn.
Bonus Skill. You are proficient in Mechanics.
Darkvision: You have superior vision in dark and dim
conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it
were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You
cant discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Desert Dweller. You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival)
checks made in a desert environment. Youre also naturally
adapted to hot and arid climates, as described in Chapter 5 of
the Dungeon Masters Guide.
Scavenger. Whenever you deal ion damage to a droid or
vehicle, you can add your proficiency bonus to the damage.

NEIMODIAN
Neimodians descend from a group of
Duros colonists that, during the earliest
perior of their species exploration of
space, ventured far beyond the edge of
regions considered possible to settle.
The Neimodians quickly found a place
in galactic civilization, trading with
anyone regardless of ethics or political affiliation. For several
centuries they were among the leading forces behind the
construction of new starports and the upgrade of existing ones.
Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma and Wisdom ability
scores increase by 2.
Size. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 25 feet.
Languages. You know Basic, Durese, and Neimodian.
Parlay. You have a knack for talking your way out of
dangerous situations. When you are attacked by a creature
within 30 feet of you that can see and hear you, you can use
your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll, the
attacker to cancel the attack before it hits or misses. An
attacker that cant be charmed is immune to this feature.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all
expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Smooth Talker. You are proficient in Deception and
Persuasion.
Wealthy. When you start play, double the starting credits
you would normally begin with for your class. If you choose to
begin with the class starter equipment, instead add the normal
amount of starting credits in addition to your equipment.
TOYDARIAN
Toydarians are small, winged
aliens from the planet Toydaria.
They are known as shrewd
merchants and able con artists,
even though many lead
reputable lives. Because their
homeworld is located in Hutt
Space, many Toydarians who
leave Toydaria find themselves
either employed or indentured
to Hutt criminal interests. Toydarians easily resist mindaffecting Force powers and are even more resistant to such
abilities than their Hutt overlords.
Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by 2,
and your Charisma increases by 1.
Size. Toydarians stand about 2-3 feet tall when grounded,
weighing around 50-60 lbs. Your size is small.
UMBARAN
The Umbarans hail from a hard-to-reach
world deep within the Outer Roms
Ghost Nebula. Although they have been
part of galactic civilization for millennia,
very few Umbarans have left their home
system, and even fiew have risen to
positions of power and fame in the
galaxy. Umbarans are interested in alien cultures and
civilizations, but they prefer to observe from a distance rather
than take an active role in events.
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 2
and your Strength score increases by 1.
Size. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet. Your base swim
speed is 20 feet.
Languages. You know Basic and Umbarese.
Improved Darkvision. Hailing from a planet of near total
darkness, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions.
You can see in dim light within 120 feet of you as if it were
bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You cant
discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Stealthy. You are proficient in Stealth, and you have
advantage on Stealth checks.
Sunlight Sensitivity: You have disadvantage on attack rolls
and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when
you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to
perceive is in direct sunlight.
- 4 -
WEEQUAY
The Weequay are well-known
throughout the galaxy for their violent
tendencies and lack of individuality.
Deeply spiritual, they worship a broad
pantheon of deities, the most senior of
which is known as Quay. Zealous
Weequay perform ritual sacrifices in
Quays honor, at times resorting to murder. Such incidents have
done little to dispel their violent reputation.
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 2
and your Charisma score increases by 1.
Size. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet. Your base swim
speed is 20 feet.
Languages. You know Basic and Sriluurian. You can also
communicate with other Weequay using pheromones.
Endurance. You have advantage on Constitution saves.
Natural Armor. Your Armor Class is 11 + your Dexterity
modifier when you are wearing no armor.
Pheromones: You can exude pheromones to silently
communicate with other members of your species up to 120
feet away. Creatures with the scent ability can detect your
pheromones by smell, but this does not allow them to
understand what you are communicating

NEW FEATS
th
Several new feats can be added to the Dungeons & Dragons 5 Edition base list, functionally the same as core feats.
FORCE CRUSH
Prerequisite: Charisma 13 or higher, ability to cast at least 1 Force power
The Dark Side is strong in you, granting you power at the potential cost of your soul. You gain the following benefits:
Increase your Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
When you affect a creature with a power that requires concentration, such as hold person or suggestion, you can choose to deal
an amount of force damage every round in which the creature is affected. This does not apply if the power already deals damage. If
the creature dies as a result of this damage, you gain 1 Dark Side Point.
When you cast a Force power that deals damage to an object, you can deal maximum damage with that power.
FORCE SENSITIVE
Prerequisite: Wisdom 13 or higher
You have an innate connection to the Force, able to use it in several ways even without being trained. You gain the following
benefits:
You can make a Wisdom (Force) or Charisma (Force) check instead of Perception to detect nearby creatures. If they are proficient
in either Force skill, you have advantage on the check.
As an action, you can instantly pull an unattended item weight less than 5 lbs into your hand from up to 30 feet away.
You automatically sense when a loved one or close contact is in danger, as determined by your DM, regardless of distance.
SPACER
You have lived and worked aboard starships for as long as you can remember. You gain the following benefits:
You do not suffer disadvantage on attack rolls or Dexterity saves when in zero-gravity.
You can use your Intelligence modifier instead of Dexterity when attack with starship weapons.
Your base speed increases by 10 while aboard a starship.
STARSHIP DESIGNER
You have learned to push the limits of starship technology, creating unique effects. You gain the following benefits:
Increase your Intelligence score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
When you are the pilot or copilot of a starship with a hyperspace drive, you consider the drive one class better.
When you personally oversee the installation of ship systems, the installation takes half the time and 1 emplacement point less
(minimum 1 emplacement point).
When you are the copilot of a starship, you can use your reaction to grant the pilot or any ship gunner advantage on an attack roll
against another ship.

SHIP SIZE
Because starships are used on a different scale than normal,
their size in squares is represented by their individual sizes. A
Starfighter, for example, is considered Medium though on a
personal scale it would easily be 30 x 30 feet or more. On
starship scale, however, it is a single 1 x 1 square unit. Large
ships are 2 x 2 squares, and so on.
COST MODIFIERS
It costs more to build a hyperdrive that can move a capital-class
ship than one for a starfighter. Bigger starships are simply
costlier to improve or modifier. Thus, each size of starship has a
cost modifier, which is applied to the base cost of starship
systems added to starships of that size. For examp le,
regenerating shields have a base cost of 5,000 credits.
When added to a Colossal ship, this price is multiplied by the
ship's cost modifier of x5, for a final cost of 25,000 credits. If
added to a Colossal (cruiser) starship, the modifier is x500, for a
final cost of 2,500,000 credits.

A NOTE ON COSTS
All costs given in this book are, by necessity, approximate. The
Star Wars galaxy is a vast market, and it's impossible to create a
system that realistically represents the thousands of factors
that could affect a major purchase's final cost. As a result, the
DM should feel free to modify these prices up or down as much
as necessary to suit the plot of an adventure, the storyline of a
campaign, or even personal preference.

EMPLACEMENT POINTS
You must meet certain size, bracing, and power requirements
before adding a system to a starship. Often, it simply isn't
practical to add numerous new systems to an existing starship.
Emplacement points represent the numerous factors that
combine to limit how many systems a single starship can have.
Each modification or new system has a rating in
emplacement points to represent the effort required to add
that feature to an existing starship. The more emplacement
points a modification requires, the greater its demand in terms
of room, bracing, power, and integration with other systems.
If you lack the emplacement points to support a system, you
can still install it; however, more time and credits are needed to
add the subsystems that enable your new systems to function.
For every emplacement point you lack for a system, add 2 days
to the base installation time, 5 to the Intelligence (Mechanics)
check DC to install it, and 20% to the system cost. Additionally,
any starships that have modifications installed in this manner
are automatically considered "used" (and therefore their resale
value is severely diminished) and any systems added without
sufficient emplacement points are damaged beyond repair if
the starship is disabled. This represents the harder work of
finding ways to route power to your system, squeeze th rough
already jammed conduits, and overcome the limitations of your
overstuffed starship. Additionally, DMs should feel free to rule
that some modifications cannot be installed without sufficient
emplacement points, such as passenger conversions when no
cargo space is available.

NONSTANDARD MODIFICATIONS
Rare or nonstandard system modifications (including those
deemed by the DM to be ill suited for installation on a given
ship) require substantially more effort to install, doubling the
number of emplacement points required and multiplying the
cost by 5. A modification is nonstandard if the starship does not
have any similar system in its stock version.
For example, adding a hyperdrive, shields, or a passenger
compartment to a TIE fighter would be nonstandard, but adding

INSTALLATION CHECKS
INSTALLATION
Installing a new system, or modifying an old one, is normally a
matter of work force, Time, and a Mechanics check. This
assumes the starship in which you are installing the system is
otherwise fully functional, the system to be installed is freely
available, and you have the tools and space needed.
Frequently, a given modification might be possible only if the
heroes get hold of the system directly, such as stealing a shield
generator from a Trade Federation shipyard, recovering moth
balled fighters from an old Imperial supply depot, or trading
rare spices to a Hutt crime lord for the last known example of a
particular hyperdrive component. Whenever possible, a DM
should make modifying the heroes' starship as much an
adventure as a design issue.
INSTALLATION TIME
The base time needed to add a modification or system is
calculated as follows:
time (in days) = (emplacement points)
x (ship's cost modifier) / (number of workers)
In many cases, a new system can be added to a starfighter with
just a single day of work. This is possible because many systems
are modular, allowing different hyperdrives, weapons, and
computer systems to be easily removed and new ones slotted
in. Even something like reinforced bulkheads represents a
predesigned kit of clamps and brackets that bolt on to existing
STARSHIP SYSTEMS
A starship's systems can be upgraded, replaced, and modified
many times throughout the ship's operational lifetime. A
starship system falls into one of four categories: movement,
defense, offense, or accessories. Each system has a number of
factors that affect its cost and availability, detailed in the table
that accompanies each section.
Emplacement Points: This value is the number of
emplacement points required to install the system in a starship
without incurring an additional cost or time delay.
Availability: Some starship accessories have limited
availability or are strictly regulated. A system that is normally
available without restriction is categorized as common.
Size Restriction: Some systems can be placed only in
starships of a certain size. Systems are normally limited to ships
of a given size or larger, and some systems can function only in
smaller ships.
Cost: Sometimes a starship accessory has a flat cost or
weight. Often the cost is determined by multiplying a base
number by the starship's cost factor, which is determined by its
size. If a cost is given as "base," you must multiply it by the cost
modifier for the starship's size. If the cost is just given as a
number of credits, the cost is the same no matter what size
starship you add the system to.
MOVEMENT SYSTEMS
Starship movement falls into three basic categories
atmospheric, space, and hyperspace. A starship might be
described as "fast" if it has an advanced hyperdrive, yet still be
relatively slow at starship-scale movement. Movement systems
are extremely popular modifications for pirates, smugglers, and
- to a lesser degree - military designers.
- 10 -
Atmospheric Thrusters
Atmospheric thrusters increase a starship's speed when the
ship is flying in the atmosphere of a planet. Any starship able to
operate in an atmosphere has some engine system designed for
air flight, normally a combination of repulsorlifts and ion
engines. Atmospheric thrusters are an augmentation of these
basic systems, designed to make the starship more competitive
with a dedicated airspeeder.
Atmospheric thrusters allow a pilot to maneuver at starship
scale in a planetary atmosphere. Otherwise the ship is
considered to be inoperable in the atmosphere, other than
flying in a straight line until it reaches the exosphere.
Combat Thrusters
Often used by smugglers, bounty hunters, and blockade
runners, combat thrusters are modifications to a space
transport's existing engines and maneuvering thrusters that
allow the ship to engage in space combat as though it were a
starfighter. A pilot flying a ship with combat thrusters can, as a
reaction, impose disadvantage on attack rolls when targeted by
a ship of two sizes larger or more.
Combat thrusters are only available for ships of Huge size or
smaller.
Hyperdrives
The hyperdrive is the most important piece of technology in the
known galaxy. Modern civilization was driven by the realization
of fast and reliable galactic travel thousands of years ago with
the advent of the hyperdrive. Hyperdrives are rated by numeric
class: The smaller the number, the better the hyperdrive. The
best hyperdrive ever created is the cl ass .5. It's not possible to
install a class .5 hyperdrive, because no manufacturer creates
such a delicate and unreliable piece of equipment. The only way
to achieve a hyperdrive of this type is to modify a class .75
hyperdrive using the Starship Designer feat. Because of its
inherent unreliability, class .5 hyperdrives are illegal under all
but the most unusual circumstances.
A class .5 hyperdrive is very carefully tuned and delicate, so it
tends to malfunction much more often than a standard
hyperdrive. It requires eight hours of maintenance per month
and a DC 20 Mechanics check to keep one running smoothly. If
the maintenance isn't kept up, or the Mechanics check for
doing so fails, anyone attempting a Mechanics check to
astrogate does so at disadvantage until the hyperdrive receives
proper maintenance. Furthermore, any time you would
normally have an astrogation mishap, the hyperdrive is instead
disabled until repaired (normally requiring 1 hour of work and a
DC 20 Mechanics check).
The class 1 hyperdrive is considered the pinnacle of stable
hyperdrive technology from the Clone Wars forward. It is the
favored technology of military vessels, but its high cost often
- 11 -
Starfighters: Most navicomputers are nonstandard for starfighters - these ships simply don't have the room for the memory core
required to store and track the locations of untold billions of celestial objects. Instead, starfighters often have limited navicomputers
that store only two jumps' worth of information, enough to get to a destination and return. Some limited navicomputers have a
greater memory capacity, but these are rare and more expensive.
Sublight Accelerator Motor
A SubLight Accelerator Motor (SLAM) is an overdrive system designed to draw power from systems not in use to give a stars hip a
brief burst of additional speed. A starship equipped with a SLAM system moves three times its base speed during the Dash action,
instead of the usual two times. It can also move at full speed during the Disengage action, instead of the usual half speed.
Sublight Drive
A sublight drive is what makes a ship move through space. Though a SubLight Accelerator Motor can enhance a ship's space speed,
sometimes a new sublight drive is required to reach such speeds with minimal effort from the pilot.
Replacing a ship's sublight drive can be expensive, though, and many ships cannot reach high speeds due to the bulk of their
sublght drives. Additionally, only military vessel s are permitted to use incredibly fast ion drives. A sublight drive determines a ship's
speed when moving through realspace.

DEFENSE SYSTEMS
Defense systems include anything that reduces the chance a
starship will be destroyed. They are often less regulated than
weapon systems, since even the Empire acknowledges that
citizens and merchants have a right to avoid suffering at the
hands of pirates and rogue planetary defense forces.
Armor
A basic level of armor exists on all starships - it's a necessary
part of building a hull strong enough to survive the rigors of
space - and armor never has to be completely replaced, just
patched up. However, it's possible to add additional armor
beyond what's needed to keep a starship intact while traveling
through hyperspace, and doing so can boost a ship's chance of
making it out of a firefight. Heavier armor is generally obvious,
giving a starship a blocky, military appearance. Armor uses the
indicated Armor Class for the level of upgrade, instead of the
default for the ship. Skilled pilots often prefer ships without
heavy armor, since they can use their Dexterity bonus which
may prove more advantageous for less cost.
Jammers
Jammers come in many forms, from small jamming suites used
in Medium to Large size ships, to massive jamming arrays
carried vessels of Gargantuan size or larger.
A sensor jamming system is capable of blinding enemy
sensors and fire-control computers, making the starship
carrying the jammer a more elusive target. As a Bonus Action a
system operator or co-pilot can activate a jammer, affecting all
enemy starships within 6 squares (or 10, if an array) of the
starship carrying it, regardless of the size of those ships.
Maintaining the jammer every round also takes a Bonus Action.
Affected ships cannot send or receive communications, and
suffer disadvantage on attack rolls against any target.
An opposing operator can attempt to overcome the effect of
a jammer. Doing this is a Bonus Action and involves a
Mechanics skill check opposed by the Mechanics check of the
ship with the jammer. On a successful result, the jammed ship
takes no penalties from jamming until the start of their next
turn.
Regenerating Shields
Because of the importance of shields, many engineers have
tried to devise ways to improve their performance. For
example, the Mon Calamari install backup shield generators on
their warships to keep their defenses strong, while others have
added additional power generators or special computers to
ensure that shield generators have the most power when they
need it. All these systems are essentially ways to have shields
regenerate more quickly, even if they work on different
principles.

WEAPON SYSTEMS
Most starships carry a t least one or two weapons, for defense
against pirates and asteroids if nothing else. Every weapon is
required to have an arms load-out permit, but as long as a
civilian ship isn't bristling with proton torpedo launchers, very
few officials care to check such things. Similarly, no matter what
documentation you have, a vessel outfitted with heavy
turbolasers is viewed with suspicion unless it belongs to a wellknown ally.
Several common (and some not-so-common) weapon
systems are detailed below. Note that the damage given for
these weapons is typical, not absolute, and naming conventions
are far from universal. It's impossible to detail every weapon
system for every manufacturer throughout every era. These
values are representative, and a DM is free to modify them as
he desires.
Autoblaster
Blaster cannons can be designed with a higher cyclic firing rate
so long as they have sufficient cooling systems to keep the firing
elements from overheating. Only single - mounted blasters are
generally made into autoblasters, however.
Blaster Cannons
Blasters are more commonly found on airspeeders and ground
vehicles than on starships, but they are frequently mounted on
starfighters. Blasters are somewhat less expensive than lasers,
but they have a more limited range.

COST
Cannon, Double/Quad
Double and quad versions of blasters, lasers, ion cannons, and
turbolasers are available, creating reciprocating multibarrel
weapons. A double or quad cannon has the given availability or
the availability of its base weapon, whichever is more
restrictive.
Autofire: Double or quad blaster cannons, laser cannons,
light ion cannons, and light turbolasers can fire normally or in
autofire mode, with a swift action required to switch between
the two.
Triple Cannons: Some starships also carry triple cannons.
These are functionally identical to double cannons, using three
cannons (with slightly less power individually) instead of two
standard cannons.
Cannon Enhancements
It's possible to boost the d a m a g e output of a blaster, a laser
(but not a turbolaser), or an ion can n o n with a series of
modifications designed to increase power draw and the
cohesion of the energy bolts. Enhanced power cyclers, high volume gas feeds, and larger energization crystals (coupled with
enhanced or redundant cooling packs and compressors) create
multistage laser weapons that have significantly more stopping
power. Advanced cannon enhancements are also available, but
they are substantially more expensive.
Because these modifications create a multistage laser, such
weapons are sometimes referred to as turbo lasers, but they
are substantially weaker than the larger weapons mounted on
capital ships.

Concussion Missiles
A concussion missile carries a warhead containing a compact
energy pack. When one explodes, it gives off a powerful
concussive blast that disrupts delicate instruments and
equipment, causing shock and blast damage to more durable
targets. Because of their bulk, concussion missiles are generally
preferred for space transports and capital ships. All concussion
missiles have a 4-square splash radius.
Armor-Piercing: Advanced concussion missiles exist, designed
to overcome even the most durable armors. Armor-piercing
concussions missiles ignore resistance to Force damage
provided by ship armor plating.
Launchers: The ammunition capacity of a concussion missile
launcher is determined by its size: light, 6; medium, 16; heavy,
30. Additional capacity can be added, increasing the cost by
200% for each additional missile (up to a maximum of double
capacity).
Docking Guns
Smugglers and pirates often add character-scale weapons to
fighters and freighters, in order to a l low them to open fire
while docked without risking blowing up a n entire docking
facility. Any character-scale ranged weapon can be added as a
docking gun, though repeating blaster rifles and heavy blaster
rifles are most common. Docking guns count as heavy weapons
once installed (regardless of their original weapon category).
They draw power from the ship, operating as long as the ship
has power, instead of requiring power packs. The idea has
occasionally been used on military vessels - adding heavy guns
to docking bays to assist in efforts to offload troops onto a
battlefield, for example.
The cost of a docking gun is for the mount only - the gun
itself is bought normally. Docking guns have no effect on
starship-scale combat.
Gravity Well Projectors
Gravity well projectors are unique weapons in that they do not
deal damage but instead produce a special effect. Projecting a
gravity well is treated like firing a weapon in an area attack; the
gravity well operator must choose a 4x4-square (starship scale)
area within the generator's range. The gravity well projector
creates a hyperspace interdiction field in those target squares.
Any starship that starts its turn in a square covered by a
hyperspace interdiction field may not activate its hyperdrive on
that turn.
lon Bombs
Ion bombs are primitive, fin-stabilized weapons used to knock
out electronics and droid targets on the surface of a world.
Because of their guidance system, the bombs are usable only in
an atmosphere, and attacks with them take a -5 penalty. Ion
bombs may target a square directly beneath the ship that
deploys them. On impact, they create a strong ion field that
deals 5d10 points of ion damage within a 10-square radius. Ion
bomb racks can hold up to four ion bombs.
lon Cannons
Ion cannons are generally viewed as defensive armament, but
they are quite common on pirate a n d military vessels. Ion
cannons deal lightning damage Of starship-mounted ion
cannons, all but the smallest don't have a cyclic rate of fire high
enough to allow autofire, even when mounted in double, quad,
or fire-linked configurations.
Hapan Triple ion Cannon: The Hapan triple ion cannon is a
special capital ship weapon that acts like a point-defense
weapon (using point-defense ranges and ignores the benefits of
a targets Combat Thrusters. It is also capable of autofire mode,
but it may not make starship-scale area attacks. Until the New
Jedi Order era, Hapan triple ion cannons are illegal outside the
Hapan Consortium, and the Hapans do not sell them to
outsiders.
Laser Cannons
Laser cannons are the most common starship weapons, carried
by starfighters and space transports as primary armament and
capital ships as point-defense weapons. They generally have a
better range than blaster cannons, but they are somewhat
more expensive.
Point-Defense Weapon
Normally, only blaster cannons, laser cannons, and light ion
cannons can be point-defense weapons. Modifying a weapon to
be a point-defense weapon costs 4,000 credits per weapon but
has no emplacement point requirement (other than what is
required to mount the weapon itself). A point-defense weapon
ignores the benefits of a targets Combat Thrusters.
Proton Torpedoes
Proton torpedoes use a proton-scattering warhead that
essentially causes a miniature nuclear explosion on the target's
surface. Because of their small size and compact launcher, they
are preferred for starfighters and other relatively small vessels.
All proton torpedoes have a 4-square splash radius.
Launchers: A standard proton torpedo launcher holds three
torpedoes. Additional capacity may be added, increasing the
cost by 250% for each additional torpedo (up to a maximum of
sixteen torpedoes).
- 15 -
Shieldbuster Torpedoes
These are plasma-based torpedo weapons that create bursts of
radiation specifically designed to overwhelm a vehicle's shields.
The T-33 used by K-wings is typical of weapons of this type.
Against anything but shields, shieldbusters deal half damage. If
an attack from a shield buster torpedo exceeds a target's SR,
the target loses 10 points from its SR (rather than the normal 5).
Shields damaged in this way can be recharged normally.
Launchers: A standard shield buster torpedo holds four
torpedoes. Additional capacity may be added, increasing the
cost by 250% for each additional torpedo (up to a maximum of
eight torpedoes).
Space Mines
A space mine can be deployed as a swift action at any point
along a starship's movement path. Whenever any ship enters a
square in which a space mine was deployed, the mine
detonates and the entering ships pilot must make a Dexterity
save against a DC of 15. On a failure, it deals full damage to the
target; on a success, it deals only half damage. It is also possible
for mines to be designed not to be detonated by ships with
specific IFF codes (to allow defenders to fly freely past them) or
to be command-detonated (requiring a gunner to detonate
them as a standard action, often after readying an action).
Whenever a starship is about to enter the same square as a
space mine, the pilot can make a Perception check as a reaction
against a DC of 10 + the deploying pilots Intelligence modifier
to notice the mine and choose a different square to move into
instead. If the ship has a system operator, the system operator
may make a Mechanics check as a reaction as well, using the
ship's sensors to detect the mine.
A typical space mine deals 10d10 points of force damage. An
advanced space mine deals 20d10 points of damage. A heavy
space mine 30d10 points of damage; however, due to its
considerable size, targets of Huge size or smaller have
advantage on their Dexterity save.
Mine Launcher: All mine launchers hold six mines. Additional
capacity may be added, increasing the cost by 250% per each
additional mine (up to a maximum of twelve mines).
Tractor Beam
Massive devices that require enormous outlays of energy to
operate, tractor beams are generally found only on capital ships
and stations. Tractor beams are considered nonstandard

ACCESSORIES
Accessories include any systems that do not fall under one of
the previous categories. They add functions or improve existing
systems on a starship, making them more capable and efficient.
Cargo Jettison System
A cargo jettison system allows a ship to dump part or all of its
cargo into space without docking or slowing down. The system
is most often used by smugglers, though such designs were
originally built for large freighters hauling explosive materials
that might become unstable. A pilot or systems operator can
dump any single cargo bay, or all cargo on the ship, as a bonus
action. If this is done while the starship is moving in space, it
takes a DC 20 Perception or Mechanics check made as a
reaction to notice the action from another starship.
Cargo Pods
Cargo pods are additional storage space added to a ship to
boost its total carrying capacity. Though they allow
independent traders to carry more goods, they also reduce a
ship's ability to maneuver quickly, making them unpopular with
pirates and military craft. Having more than one small cargo
pod, or any medium or heavy cargo pod, gives disadvantage to
Vehicle (Space) skill checks to maneuver.
The additional carrying capacity is based on the size of the
starship. A small cargo pod adds (starship's cost modifier) x 1
tons of cargo. A medium cargo pod adds (starship's cost
modifier) x 5 tons of cargo. A heavy cargo pod adds (starship's
cost modifier) x 10 tons of cargo. A cargo pod can be made
detachable (to act as an escape pod) for five times the cost.
Cloaking Device
A cloaking device creates a field of invisibility around a ship,
making it nearly impossible to detect with sensors or the naked
eye. The oldest form is the stygium crystal cloaking device,
which uses rare crystals found only on Aeten II, a planet of the
Outer Rim. These devices were used extensively on military
craft during the time of the Old Republic. They were
fantastically expensive, but fairly small and extremely effective.
The supply of stygium crystals was so limited that they were
almost impossible to find by the time of the Empire. A second
technology uses hibridium, an ore found on the planet Garos IV.
These cloaks are much larger and produce a "double-blind"
effect, making it impossible for those within the ship to see out
as long as the cloaking field is operating.
A cloaked ship is considered to be heavily obscured, and may
always make a Stealth check to sneak. Noticing a cloaked ship
does not negate its concealment, but does allow you to make
attacks against it as though it is lightly obscured. A starship
using a hibridium cloak also treats all other targets as being
heavily obscured as long as the cloak is active.
Cryogenic Chambers
Cryogenic chambers are hibernation systems that allow live
creatures to be carried in stasis. Originally developed prior to
the invention of safe hyperdrive systems, they are now used to
haul herds of livestock (often nerf or bantha herds) and to
transport critically injured passengers. Each unit of cryogenic
chambers can carry a number of Medium or smaller creatures
equal to (starship's cost modifier)/5. Large creatures take up
five times as much space, and Huge creatures take up twenty
times as much space
.
Docking Clamp
A docking clamp allows a starship to dock with other starships
in space. Normally, this accessory is used by passengers to
move from shuttles to larger ships, but larger vessels can use
them as makeshift starfighter launches. Once the clamp is in
place, creatures can safely move between the clamped ships. A
starship can maneuver, fight, and even travel hyperspace with
ships of smaller size clamped to it. However, if a ship is reduced
to half of its maximum damage, rounded down, all starships
attached to it by docking clamps are shaken off.
Docking clamps on smaller ships aren't strong enough to do
much more than hold the ship in place during routine docking.
These are built into the cost of all starships and have no special
game effect.
Droid Repair Team
A droid repair team automatically deploys to repair a starship
when it is reduced to half its maximum hit points, rounded
down - no action on the part of the crew is necessary to
activate it. A droid repair team deploys the round after the
triggering damage is taken, and does not take any action other
than to make repairs, restoring 1/10 of the ships maximum hit
points (rounded down) per round until full health is restored.
If a starship takes damage that gets past its SR (if any) in a
round when a droid repair team is active, there's a 25% chance
that the droid repair team is destroyed.
Escape Pods
All space transports and capital ships automatically include
enough escape pods for all nondroid passengers and crewthey're built into the cost of the ship. By law, starships are
required to have sufficient escape pods on board at all times,
but military starships are exempt from this rule and may carry
fewer than the normal amount (see Gaining Emplacement
Points, page 9).
If a Colossal or larger starship is destroyed, any character on
board who survives may make a DC 20 Acrobatics or Athletics
check to reach an escape pod. On a failed check, the character
is stuck in a bit of wreckage that has enough air and heat to

Small lifeboats: These vessels, which can be installed on
ships of Gargantuan size or larger, provide life support for
fifteen Medium creatures for up to 1 week, and they have
enough fuel to fly across a star system to reach a hospitable
planet. They include extensive survival gear, including
emergency shelters, 1 week of rations, water purifiers, and a
small hunting blaster. One bay includes (starship's cost
modifier)/50 lifeboats, and multiple bays may be installed.
Large lifeboats: These vessels, which can be installed on
ships of Colossal or larger, provide life support for up to 50
Medium creatures for up to 2 months, and they include a x15
hyperdrive with enough fuel for a single hyperspace jump (plus
a little left over for the ion engines and repulsorlifts to use
during landing). Survival gear is similar to that of a small
lifeboat. One bay includes (starship's cost modifier)/100 large
lifeboats, and multiple bays maybe installed.
Extended Range
Some starships need to operate for extended periods without
ever returning to port. Such a ship can be built with oversized
fuel tanks, extra stores of food, and improved recycling
systems. Doing this improves a starship's consumables by 10 %
of its original value (rounded down, minimum 1 day) x the
number of times you have installed extended range on the
starship.
Hangar Bay
A hangar bay can be installed on a ship of Gargantuan size or
larger. It holds secondary craft such as starfighters or shuttles.
Each bay has (starship's cost modifier)/50 units of hangar space,
and multiple bays may be combined for more space. The hangar
space taken up by a carried vehicle is determined by its size:
Medium, 1 unit; Large, 5 units; Huge, 20 units. A vehicle can
enter or exit a hangar with two move actions.
Luxury Upgrade
A luxury upgrade is a shipwide increase in the quality of a
starship's accommodations. Panels of calming colors, stylish
trim, and quality artwork cover bulkhead walls and access
panels. Bunks and stowage lockers are replaced with
comfortable beds and wooden ward robes. Lounges are
upgraded with recliners, desks, and multipurpose game boards.
Music systems are installed throughout the ship, and food

STOCK SHIPS
If you need to design a ship from scratch, rather than modify an
existing ship, simply start with one of the following stock ships.
Each stock ship has a cost and basic description for a generic,
no-frills version of a starship of that size. To improve the design,
use the starship modification rules to add and improve the
systems and abilities you need.
There is no hard and fast rule to determine the Challenge
Level of a new stock starship. The easiest way to do so is to
compare the new stock ship to comparable ships and use that
as the basis of a CL, adjusting as necessary or appropriate.

Emplacement Points: If you worsen a stock ship's starting value in a category by 25%, you gain a number of emplacement points
equal to 10% of the ship's stock emplacement points (or twice that many if you worsen it by 50%), For the purpose of the crew
required to operate a starship, worsening means increasing the crew required (by 25% or 50%), Any emplacement points gained in
this way may be kept as spares or used to purchase additional cargo space, adding tons of cargo capacity equal to the starship's cost
modifier for each emplacement point spent.

starship codex
This section features several commonly-encountered starships
from a variety of eras and locales. Each starship has its own
entry, with a complete stat block and an illustration of the
starship. Many entries describe multiple starships, and
sometimes variants or famous individual ships, to further
expand the usefulness of each entry.
Statistics for the ships include the estimated skill
proficiencies of the pilot and crew. These figures can be
adjusted to scale the Challenge Level of the ship as necessary.
Additionally, some space transports have deckplans included
in their entries. These ships are among the most suitable vessels
for heroes to use as a base of operations and means of
transport, and the deckplans are designed to let DMs use the
ships as an adventuring locale as well as a means of transport.

CAPABILITIES
The ARC-170 is a heavy-hitting fighter, with long-range
capabilities and enough stowage to operate for 5 days without
resupply. Though taxing, it was possible for the crew to sleep in
shifts, allowing the starfighter to be alert and ready for action
for days at a time. This made it popular as a scout and a picket
ship, keeping an eye on likely targets, enemy forces, or even
friendly planets until larger ships could arrive for permanent
duty. An ARC-170 could be sent deep into enemy territory, and
its shield generator gave it a good chance of surviving even if it
ran into a larger force of fighters when performing such
missions.
The durability and range of the vessel came at a cost,
however. The ARC-170 has slow acceleration and poor
maneuverability compared to smaller fighters.

One of the most common and popular vessels produced by the
Corellian Engineering Corporation, the CR90 Corvette serves multiple
purposes in fleets of all types throughout the galaxy. A smaller capital
ship that is just a step up from a space transport, the Corellian Corvette
is large enough to carry a significant complement of passengers or
troops while requiring a relatively small crew to operate. Durable
vessels that complement any battle group (and, indeed, they are often
seen in Rebel and pirate fleets), many Corellian Corvettes are owned
by individuals and private organizations. Often referred to as blockade
runners, these ships boast a distinctive "hammerhead" design that is
recognizable across in the galaxy.
CAPABILITIES
Though excellent as consulars or transport ships, Corellian Corvettes
also see extensive use as military and pirate vessels. Most Corellian
Corvettes are easily modified (a common trait among many of the
ships produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation), and as such
they can be tailored to a specific owner's needs. The ease with which
CR90 Corvettes are modified makes adding weaponry, shielding, and
even secondary hull plating a simple matter, meaning that aftermarket
modifications that boost the ship's offensive capability are among the
most common upgrades made to the vessel . Pirates, gunrunners,
shipjackers, and smugglers favor the CR90 Corvette because even a
heavily modified ship can appear innocuous at first glance, making it
easy to launch surprise attacks on unsuspecting targets (or sneak past
the watchful eyes of the authorities).
Corellian Corvettes often see use in small-scale naval skirmishes,
such as breaking planetary blockades. In fact, many planetary defense
fleets use Corellian Corvettes to breach enemy lines and setup flanking
maneuvers. Since the ship's configuration can be changed to suit a
variety of roles (including naval combat, escort, troop carrier, and
cargo hauler), these ships are often considered dynamic assets,
allowing their owners to get greater use out of the ship when
compared to m o re static vessels. As such, they are highly valued in
both military and civilian roles (and can often shift between the two
over the course of a single s hip's lifetime).
Tactical Fire: Corellian Corvettes work well as blockade runners and
can use their weapons and shielding to punch through enemy lines. As
an action, a Corellian Corvette can forgo all attacks to provide tactical
fire to all adjacent squares. All allied starships within this area
automatically avoid being engaged in a dogfight when subject to the
Dogfight Specialist class ability.
THE VANOUARD C20 RETROFIT
When the Corellian Engineering Corporation began producing the CR90
Corvette as its standard (rather than as an upgrade), current owners of
CR70 Corvettes were given the option of purchasing an aftermarket
modification suite that brought the vessels up to date tech no logically
with the CR90 Corvette. Known as the Vanguard c20 retrofit, this
modification enhanced the combat prowess of the Corellian Corvette
and ensured that the CR70 remained on par with the CR90, essentially
transforming the former into the latter. The Tantive IV for example,
began as a CR70 Corvette that was used by Bail O rgana at the tail end
of t h e Clone Wars. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, the Tantive IV
had undergone retrofitting that transformed it into a CR90 Corvette.
A Vanguard c20 retrofit costs 500,000 credits (which includes both
raw materials as well as labor costs for having the retrofit applied) and
usually takes 2 to 3 weeks of work by trained professionals. The
process changes the base statistics for the CR70 Corvette to those of
the CR90 Corvette, though this does not change the crew quality by
default.

The Dynamic-class freighter is a sturdy if rare type of starship
whose origins date back to the earliest days of the Old Republic.
Manufactured by a subsidiary of Core Galaxy Systems based on
the planet Transel, the Dynamic-class freighter has been
produced only in limited quantities by a single factory on that
obscure, backwater world. The manufacturing plant that
produces the Dynamic-class freighter was originally the
production facility for a small, independent starship engineering
firm that was purchased by Core Galaxy Systems during a
period of rapid company expansion. However, in ensuing
reorganizations little attention was paid to the Dynamic-class
freighter or its manufacturing plant, and as a result the ship
continued to be produced for many years, using the funding
from Core Galaxy Systems to build each vessel one at a time.
The Ebon Hawk was a heavily modified Dynamic-class
freighter that played an integral role in the Jedi Civil War.
CAPABILITIES
The Dynamic-class freighter gets its name from the ease with
which it is modified. The ship is particularly well suited to
customization, and the hand crafted feel that each vessel
possesses only enhances this reputation. Though not
particularly fast or tough, the ship is sturdy and can handle
extensive modifications without losing any efficiency. When a
character attempts to make a Mechanics check to repair or
modify a Dynamic-class freighter, that character has advantage
skill check.
The basic model of the ship does not have impressive
armament or any shielding, though the manufacturers were
sure to engineer the vessel to allow the ship to accept such
modifications with ease. Less spacious than larger freighters
such as the YT-1300, a Dynamic-class freighter can hold less
cargo but maintains the ability to transport a number of
passengers, making it a more utilitarian starship than most
freighters.

Star Destroyers are among the few vessels used for orbital
bombardment, a favorite tactic of the ruthless Empire. Entire
planets have been frightened into submission by the mere
presence of an Imperial Star Destroyer in orbit. Imperial Star
Destroyers are capable of delivering precise orbital strikes
destroying only a small section of a planet - as well as delivering
bombardments that wipe out all life a n d industry on a world (a
tactic known as Base Delta Zero). Only those planets that have
powerful shields can withstand the turbolasers of an Imperial
Star Destroyer, and some worlds (including Caamas) have been
devastated b y such tactics.
CAPABILITIES
An Imperial Star Destroyer bristles with weapons, and for good
reason. With twenty turbolaser batteries, a Star Destroyer can
pound on other capital ships, reducing their shields in a matter
of minutes. Likewise, its ion cannons can quickly disable ships,
allowing the Empire to tear the ship apart and take the
prisoners alive. Another ten tractor beam generators ensure
that few ships will escape its grasp, especially smaller capital
ships. Though less effective against starfighters, a Star
Destroyer is not to be trifled with. Even the best starfighter
corps fears the armament of an Imperial Star Destroyer, since a
lucky shot from a turbolaser will turn even the most nimble
starfighter into a smoldering cloud of debris in an instant.
Tactical Fire: An Imperial Star Destroyer is designed to
provide heavy gunnery support in any situation, and excels at
disrupting other capital ships above all. Its weakness against
other ships, such as starfighters, is usually overcome by its own
complement of starfighters. As a standard action, a Star
Destroyer can forgo all attacks to provide tactical fire to all
squares in a 2-square radius around itself. All allied starships
attacking targets within that area gain advantage on their
attack rolls.
THE STAR DESTROYER DESIGNATION
Though the term "Star Destroyer" is typically used only to
describe the dagger-shaped capital ships used by the Empire,
the designation is general enough that it can be applied to m
any other heavily armed capital ships. However, during the time
of the Empire, the term "Star Destroyer" comes to be
colloquially associated with the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. As
such, most references to a Star Destroyer are actually to the
Imperial I- and Imperial II-class ships. Some larger ships, such as
the Executor-class star dreadnaught and the Eclipse, are often
referred to as Star Destroyers, though this is not an official
designation and more of a generic descriptor.

TIE BOMBER
CL 7
CL 9
Designated the TIE/sa, the TIE bomber is one of the few TIE
craft that does not incorporate its sister craft's distinctive hull
shape. Instead, it employs a distinctive double hull design, with
two cylindrical pods mounted side by side between two bent
solar array panels. The starboard pod houses the cockpit and
flight controls, while the portside pod stores the bomber's
payload. Rebel pilots commonly referred to TIE bombers as
"dupes."
CAPABILITIES
TIE bombers form the backbone of the Imperial Navy's strike
capability. They are commonly deployed against enemy capital
ships, space stations, and ground targets. They are able to
employ heavy weapons, delivering payloads with uncanny
precision. TIE bombers are most often equipped with a rack of
sixteen medium concussion missiles. Two forward-mounted
laser cannons, used primarily for strafing runs and self-defense,
are also standard armament.
Several other payload configurations are used, depending on
specific mission para meters. Instead of missiles, as m any as
eight proton torpedoes can be loaded into the ship's ordnance
pod. By decreasing the missile or torpedo payload by half, up to
eight proton bombs or six orbital mines can also be deployed.
When providing ground support, a TIE bomber is capable of
carrying as many as 64 thermal detonators that are used to
carpet-bomb enemy infantry formations. Nonconventional
payloads include leaflets filled with demoralizing Imperial
propaganda, as well as supply canisters for isolated Imperial
infantry units.

The YT series is a popular line of light freighters built by the
Corellian Engineering Corporation that includes the YT- 1 300,
the model of vessel that includes the Millennium Falcon. The
first YT freighters were built during the height of the Old
Republic, and new models continue to be produced in every era
since. The core design of the YT series is built around two basic
components - a disc-shaped main body and a large external
cockpit area with extensive windows. Although some models
moved away from these core design elements, they would
return in later designs. Indeed, CEC made a point of reusing as
many of the same parts as possible between designs, which had
the advantage of allowing many d ifferent YT lines to be
produced at one time without retooling the CEC shipyards. As a
side effect, this helped make all YT ships extremely modular and
easily modified, a fact that went far to explain the line's ongoing
popularity with independent traders, smugglers, and pirates.
CAPABILITIES
All YT-series ships are solid light freighters, renowned for being
sturdy and reliable. Their greatest asset is their easily modified
nature. With less effort than for nearly any other ship line, a YTseries vessel can be fine-tuned to act as a smuggler, bulk hauler,
luxury transport, or even a gunship or patrol craft. Every YTseries ship has 10 unused emplacement points as a stock ship
(see page 9 for more information on emplacement points), and
new captains are quick to use them to add more guns, better
shields, or whatever else their minds can conjure up. This
adaptability is intentional, and has often led to authorities
claiming that CEC designs the ships for use by smugglers and
pirates. The CEC points out that thousands of YT ships are being
used by law-abiding free traders and small companies. Of
course, how many of those "law-abiding" customers are
actually smugglers or spies is unknown and, more important,
not provable in court.

The YT-2000 was designed to be a straight improvement of the
YT- 1300, borrowing successful concepts from other YT designs
as well (such as the YT-1930's symmetrical layout). Because it
was produced in a more turbulent era, the YT-2000 boasted
heavier standard shields and weapons than most civilian
freighters, a fact that caused many Imperial officials to view its
"civilian" market with suspicion. Extensive corporate espionage
leaked the early design specifications to competing shipyards,
leading to CEC putting the YT-2000 into production before all its
potential drawbacks had been worked out. As a result, the ship
is somewhat touchier than most of the extremely reliable YT
designs (a character making a Mechanics check to modify or
repair a YT-2000 does so with disadvantage). However, its
extensive cargo capacity, good defenses, and a mazing
maneuverability for a ship its size, coupled with plenty of spare
space and power to make custom modifications, catapulted the
YT-2000 in popularity among its owners. The line was
discontinued early not because of poor sales, but so CEC could
push the new YT-2400 design, which had not been
compromised by espionage or rushed design work.

MILLENIUM FALCON
The Millennium Falcon is among the most famous starships in
the galaxy. Originally a stock YT-1 300, it's not clear how many
hands and technicians the vessel went through before it came
to the possession of Lando Calrissian. Though cobbled together
from different ships, the Falcon is proof that the whole is often
more than the sum of its parts. It is often flown under false
registration, and has been identified at the Argos, Sunlight
Franchise, Longshot, and Shadow Bird, among other aliases.
It served Lando Calrissian, Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Rey
and was at various points piloted by any number of copilots and
allies. (For this reason, the statistics given here assume a
"typical" crew of ace smugglers; if the ship is encountered with
Lando, Han Solo, or Chewbacca flying it, their abilities may be
used rather than those of a generic crew.}
CAPABILITIES
The Millennium Falcon is a fast, agile ship able to take and dish
out considerably more damage than its appearance would
suggest. Any other description of its abilities is a generalization
and guess, because the ship is constantly modified, upgraded,
damaged, jury-rigged, and redesigned. The configuration given
here is typical, and a good representation of the ship's status as
of the Battle of Yavin. At this time it has a cargo jettison system,
smuggler's compartments, a medical bed, a docking clamp, a
hypertransceiver, and a sensor array computer (granting
advantage on Perception and Mechanics checks using sensors).

dogfights with TIE fighters and take out armored targets, such
as enemy freighters and planetary bunkers.

RANCOR
While there are certainly larger and more vicious creatures in
the galaxy, the rancor holds a special place in the nightmare of
countless centient creatures. Creatures of vast rage and singleminded carnage, rancors are periodically captured by big-game
hunters and shipped to new worlds as exotic pets.
REEK
Reeks wander the plains of Ylesia in great herds, contentedly
munching on glass and lichens. Although immensely strong,
they generally reserve their violent behavior for the mating
season, when the sound of two bull reeks fighting for
dominance rumbles like thunder across the plains.
When a reek attacks, it lowers its head, charges, and
attempts to gore with its large horn. Should the initial attack
miss, the reek flails its head around blindly, hoping to chase
away its prey so that it can attempt another charge.

IMPERIAL OFFICER
Admired, respected, and feared, the officers of the Imperial
Army and Imperial Navy are drawn from prestigious families
with long histories of military service. Few are promoted up
from the lower ranks. Most are inducted straight into officer
training academies, instructed in doctrine, leadership, and
tactics, and then awarded commissions. There, if they
distinguish themselves, they finally get a chance to rise to the
upper echelons but rarely find occasion to dirty their hands.

REBEL ALLIANCE
The Rebel Alliance fights against the tyranny of the Empire in
order to restore justice and freedom to the galaxy. Formed by
loyalists such as Mon Mothma and Senator Bail Organa, the
Rebel Alliance struggles against the Empire at every turn. It uses
guerilla warfare and undercover violence to weaken the
Imperial machine and help free the oppressed people of the
galaxy. Though the Alliance sometimes engages in direct
military action against the Empire, as soon at the Battle of yavin
or the Battle of Endor, most of the efforts of the Alliance take
place under the guise of legitimate activity. For this reason, the
Alliance has attracted not only freedom fighters but also
outlaws, smugglers, and even pirates.
The Rebel Alliance is loosely organized into cells that can
operate relatively independently of Alliance command. Each cell
operates on Imperial worlds or out of hidden bases, such as the
base on Hoth. Any worlds that sympathize with the Alliance find
themselves the targets of Imperial wrath. Alliance agents are
always on the run from the Empire, and Rebels that are
captured are dealt with swiftly and harshly.
REBEL TROOPER
The basic Rebel Trooper is stationed on Revel bases and aboard
Alliance starships throughout the galaxy, serving as the first line
of defense against the Empires stormtroopers. They are also
used as scouts and saboteurs.

GALACTIC REPUBLIC
Consisting of thousands of civilized worlds, the Galactic
Republic is the oldest governing body in history. Senators from
its constituent worlds determine policy and enact laws,
ensuring that peace and prosperity reign throughout the galaxy.
The greatest threat to the Galactic Republic is the
Confederacy of Independent Systems, a coalition of worlds that
believes the Republic has become corrupt. The Senate
authorizes the deployment of a vast clone army to quell the
Separatist threat, leading to the Clone Wars and ending with
the destruction of the Separatist leadership and the dissolution
of the Republic in favor of a new Empire.
CLONE TROOPER
To counter the threat of the Trade Federations droid armies,
the Republic deploys an army of cloned warriors. The clones
creators, the Kaminoans, conceive the clones from a single
genetic blueprint (that of the bounty hunter Jango Fett), making
a few alterations to ensure the troopers rapid maturation and
unwavering obedience. The true loyalty of the cone troopers is
revealed at the end of the Clone Wars, when Dark Sidious issues
Order 66 and turns the clones against the Jedi Order.
Although identical in appearance, clone troopers have
different levels of training, which accounts for their varying
levels of ability. Clone troopers cant be bribed, blackmailed, or
seduced. Any such attempt automatically fails.

THE FRINGE
Fringers live at the edges of society. Criminals, independents,
traders, and mercenaries of all kinds consider themselves
fringers. While not all members of the fringe are criminals
(certainly, many are hard-working and honest folk), anyone who
operates far from the seat of galactic power or outside the
bounds of the law can be considered part of the fringe.
ASSASSIN
An assassin usually maintains a cover that enables him to travel
freely, yet also explains why hes in a given location at a given
time. Many assassins hold jobs as sales representatives for
interstellar corporations, merchants, or diplomats. Others
become full-time bounty hunters, mercenaries who get paid by
the body dead or alive. A truly villainous assassin has a
signature consisting of a unique weapon, approach, or some
memento left with his victims.
