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.

Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 2,


and Constitution increases by 1.
Size. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Languages. You know Cheunh. Unless you have bonus
languages from a background or other means, you neither
speak nor understand Basic.
Bonus Skill. You are proficient in one skill of your choice.
Superior Low-Light Vision. You can see twice as far as a

human in starlight, moonlight, artificial light and other


conditions of poor illumination, and you retain the ability
to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.

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

human in starlight, moonlight, artificial light and other


conditions of poor illumination, and you retain the ability
to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.

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.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 20 feet. You also have a


natural fly speed of 30 feet. You can hover in place, but cannot
fly any higher than 10 feet.
Languages. You know Basic, Huttese, and Toydarian.
Force Resistance. You have advantage on any ability saves
made to resist Force powers. In addition, if you are under the
effects of a Force power you can reroll your save every round
even if the Force power doesnt normally allow it.
Natural Liar. You are proficient Deception, and you have
advantage on Deception checks.

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

Specialist archetype: slicer


The following archetype is an addition and supplement to the
Specialist class, found in the first Star Wars 5e Conversion.

SLICER

Wherever there is technology, there will be those trained to


subvert it. Slicers are masters of hacking computers, recovering
hidden documents, bypassing security, and even turning
electronic systems against their former operators. They are
swift ghosts in the machine, disappearing once their
technological mission is accomplished.

KNACK: COMPUTER MASTERY

When you choose this archetype at 1st level, you improve on


your ability to wrest control of computer systems away from
enemies. When you make an Intelligence (Mechanics) check to
access a computer system, add a 1d6 to your roll. Likewise, if
you make an opposed Intelligence (Mechanics) check in which a
creature is attempting to regain or take control from you, add
the same. The amount you add increases as you take more
levels in this class, as listed in the Knack column of the Specialist
Table.

HOTWIRE

Starting at 3rd level, you hack a computer or electronics system


without requiring a tool kit. If you happen to have a tool kit, you
have advantage on any Intelligence (Mechanics) checks you
make while using it.

BLACKOUT

Starting at 9th level, can completely shut down electronic


systems and networks. You can make a DC 15 Intelligence
(Mechanics) check as an Action when physically adjacent or
connected to a computer terminal. On a success, the terminal
and any electronic computer systems directly connected to it
become inactive and shut down. This includes lights, doors,
security systems, and networked computers. This shutdown
lasts for 1 minute per Specialist level you possess, despite any
attempts to restore it by anyone but you.
You can attempt to use this feature a number of times equal
to your Intelligence modifier whether you succeed or not. You
regain all uses of this feature when you take a long rest.

HOLONET SPECTRE

At 13th level, you become a virtual ghost. When accessing a


computer system, you only alert opposing forces to your
attempts if you happen to roll a Natural 1 on an Intelligence
(Mechanics) check. Otherwise you are undetectable unless
someone physically sees you.
Furthermore, any computer that has access to the Holonet
is considered connected to you when using the Blackout
feature.

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.

NEW vehicle information


There is certainly no shortage of vehicles to be found in the Star
Wars galaxy, whether streaking through the stars or stomping
through forests. While the list could constitute its own
encyclopedia, the following information adds many more
th
options to those found in the first Star Wars 5 Edition
Conversion supplement. Though the statistics were defined in
the first book, they are repeated here for convenient reference.

Passengers. This column lists the capacity for characters


besides the pilot and crew, or nonessential personnel. This
includes travelers, medical staff, or other transported units.
Cost. While some vehicles may be difficult or nearly impossible
to acquire, depending on the setting or militaristic nature of the
vehicle, the cost is a general estimate in credits what one could
feasibly expect to pay in appropriate situations.

Armor Class. The Armor Class of the vehicle is mechanically


the same as armor worn by heroes, in regards to attacks made
against them. Unless the pilot of the vehicle has traits that say
otherwise, there are no modifiers such as Dexterity added to
the AC.
Shields. Functionally, shields are extra hit points before attacks
hit the vehicle itself. Whenever the vehicle takes damage, the
shield takes the damage instead. If this damage reduces the
shield to 0 hit points, the vehicle takes any remaining damage.
Once reduced to 0 hit points, shields are considered inert unless
restored. Otherwise, shields return to full capacity following a
short rest.
Hit Points. Every vehicle as a finite amount of damage it can
take. Once it reaches 0 hit points, the vehicle is destroyed. All
creatures within the vehicle are automatically reduced to 0 hit
points and Dying. If they manage to make their Death Saves,
they suffer 1 level of exhaustion every round thereafter.
Speed. Vehicle speed is represented by squares. Land vehicles
move at the same ratio as characters, with one square
representing 5 feet of movement. Air and space vehicles,
however, cover far greater and more abstract distances. These
squares are not adaptable to character distances, and are
considered their own scale without representing a specific unit
of measurement.
Gunners. Regardless of how many types of weapons are
aboard a vehicle, they need gunners to fire them. The pilot is
always considered Gunner #1. Any numbers of 2 or higher
represent weapons that can be manned by co-pilots, turret
operators, or the like. For example, the YT-1300 has one
weapon type listed, but 2 gunners. Either pilot or one other
gunner could fire the primary weapon, if they chose to.
Weapon 1. This is the primary weapon of the vehicle (if any).
Weapon 2. This is the secondary weapon of the vehicle (if any).
Crew. The crew represents the minimum number of characters
requires to operate the vehicle under normal circumstances.
The pilot is always considered Crew #1. Vehicles with an asterix
(*) in this column indicate the addition is a droid only, generally
an astromech droid.

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.

GAINING EMPLACEMENT POINTS


A ship can gain additional emplacement points in one of three
ways. Existing systems can be removed, making their
emplacement points available for new systems. Thus, if a
smuggler decides he needs a quad laser more than he needs
maneuvering jets, he can remove the jets and gain the
emplacement points needed to install a quad laser. Removing
systems in this way takes half as long as installing them would
take and involves no associated cost. In fact, the old system can
normally be sold for 1/4 of its original value (assuming it's in
good working condition and you can find a buyer).
Alternatively, a starship can give up cargo capacity to gain
more emplacement points (a favorite tactic among pirate and
Rebel engineers). The freed space makes it much easier to
reroute power lines, add small power generators, and securely
lock new systems into the ship's superstructure. It takes a
number of tons of cargo capacity equal to a starship's cost
modifier to equal 1 emplacement point. For example, to gain an
additional 4 emplacement points for a Corellian Corvette, you
must sacrifice 200 tons of cargo capacity: 1 ton x 50 for a
Gargantuan starship for each point.

Finally, a starship of Huge or larger size can gain


emplacement points by removing escape pods, gaining 1
emplacement point per 10% of the escape pods removed.
However, doing this is illegal on anything other than a military
starship, and it takes only a DC 10 Wisdom (Perception) check
to notice. A first offense might lead to a fine of 1,000 credits, a
second 5,000 credits, and a third offense results in the ship
being impounded and the captain's accredited license being
revoked. A decent bribe and a Charisma (Persuasion) check
might avoid this unpleasantness, however, particularly in a
seedy spaceport on a backwater plane - and some such
spaceports don't bother with safety inspections in any event.

UNUSED EMPLACEMENT POINTS


Any off-the-rack starship has some unused capacity, allowing
some modifications to be made more easily. A standard, un
modified starship design generally has 1 unspent emplacement
point. In some cases, this capacity is later used for a "standard"
upgrade. For example, an unmodified V- 19 Torrent has 1
unspent emplacement point, but it became standard practice to
use this to install a hyperdrive generator in later models of the
starfighter.
Some stock ships are renowne d for being easily modified. In
part, this is the result of extra attachment points, power
outlets, access hatches, and unused carrying capacity left over
after the ship's core systems are installed. Such ships have even
more unused emplacement points, allowing multiple systems to
be added without removing anything or dealing with additional
expenses. (Stock starships designed by the Corellian
Engineering Corporation have 5 unused emplacement points
unless otherwise specified.) Common ship stocks and their
unused emplacement points are listed in the table below.

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
- 9 -

new laser cannons (or replacing its existing laser cannons)


would not.
The DM is the final arbiter of what systems are sufficiently
dissimilar to qualify as nonstandard, and particularly unusual
combinations may be forbidden altogether.

hull plating. Still, some installations take large amounts of time


unless a huge work force can be brought to the project.

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 WORK FORCE


The bigger a ship, the more people it takes to make
modifications. For ships of Medium size or smaller, a single
person can do everything necessary (though it's often much
easier with help). For larger ship s, the minimum work force is
also larger: Huge, 5; Gargantuan, 10; Colossal (cruiser), 20; and
Colossal (station), 50. The minimum work force can make a
modification or add a new system in the normal installation
time (see below). It isn't practical for a smaller workforce to
make changes to such big ships, regardless of how much time
the workers have. If your work force is bigger than your
minimum, the installation can go faster, but the maximum work
force that can be used on any given installation is 10 x the
minimum work force for the ship 's size.

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

Proper installation requires a Mechanics check at the end of the


installation time. The base DC for such a check is 15, + 1 for
each point of emplacement a system or modification uses.
If the check fails by less than 5, the installation is a partial
failure. You can choose to complete the installation in twice the
time and for twice the cost, or start over again (or even
abandon the attempt altogether).
. A check that fails by 10 or more is a total failure. All the time
and money spent is wasted, and you must start over from the
beginning.

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.

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

results in designers settling for a class 2 or class 3 drive, which


were state of the art during most of the Rise of the Empire era.
A hyperdrive of class 4 to clas s 6 is normally either old
technology or an aftermarket retrofit crammed in to a vessel
not designed to support a hyperdrive. Backup hyperdrives,
usually ranging from class 8 to class 15, are often used as
emergency systems. Though no one wants to wait a month to
arrive someplace when using a class 10 backup hyperdrive,
often the alternative is to drift aimlessly in space for centuries.
Starfighters: Because of their bulk, hyperdrives are always
treated as nonstandard modifications for Starfighters. Some
alternatives have been devised to allow Starfighters to travel
through hyperspace without installing expensive internal
hyperdrives.
Hyperdrive Sleds: A hyperdrive sled is bolted onto the
exterierior of a Starfighter, such as a CloakShape fighter. The
sled costs five times as much as a normal hyperdrive, but it is
not considered nonstandard, it requires no emplacement
points, and it can be added with 1 hour of work and a DC 15
Mechanics check. A sled does interfere with maneuverability,
however, so a starfighter imposes disadvantage to its pilot on
Dexterity saves and Space Vehicle skill checks while attached to
a sled.
Hyperdrive Rings: A hyperdrive ring is designed for only
occasional or temporary use. A ring costs as much as a normal
hyperdrive for a starfighter of a given size, but it is not
considered nonstandard and it requires no emplacement
points. The pilot of a starfighter must use an Action and m a ke
a DC 10 Space Vehicles check to dock with or disconnect from a
hyperdrive ring. If the check fails, the docking or undocking was
unsuccessful; if it fails by 5 or more, a collision occurs,
destroying the hyperspace ring.
In addition to requiring docking and undocking, hyperspace
rings have some other drawbacks. Like a hyperdrive sled, a
hyperdrive ring imposes disadvantage to its pilot on Dexterity
saves and Space Vehicle skill checks while attached. A
starfighter can't enter atmosphere or land with a hyperdrive
ring attached, so it must be left in orbit - and some pirates and
shipjackers enjoy the easy pickings of an unattended target.
Navicomputer
A navicomputer is an astrogation calculator designed to make
all the calculations necessary to travel through hyperspace.
Most stars hips have navicomputers, but those that lack
hyperdrives and some fighters that depend on astromech
droids do not.
Though extremely expensive, advanced navicomputers exist.
These grant advantage on Mechanics checks made for
astrogation. Additionally, a character aboard a ship that has a
navicomputer need not be proficient in Mehcanics to make use
of the astrogate aspect of the skill.

- 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.

If you have regenerating shields, your current shield rating


increases by 10 (up to the ship's maximum shield rating) when
you recharge the shields as an Action. Normal shields increase
their shield rating by only 5 when recharged.
Reinforced Bulkheads
The overall durability of a craft can be increased by reinforcing
its internal bulkheads. Reinforced bulkheads of Grade 1 provide
resistance to bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing damage.
Grade 2 provides resistance to radiant damage in addition to
Grade 1 resistances. Grade 3 provides resistance to lightning
damage in addition to Grade 1 and 2 resistances.
Shields
Not all starships have deflector shields, and they are an
extremely popular addition for those that lack them. However,
the energy and space cost of shields is extremely high, and it
grows with the size of the craft to be protected; thus, only the
largest vessels have enough power and internal space necessary
to operate the most powerful shields.

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.

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.

- 14 -

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).

modifications for space transports and starfighters, making such


installations almost impossible for all but the best engineers.
A system operator can use a tractor beam to target a ship of
two sizes smaller or less. The operator makes a ranged attack
roll, using her Intelligence modifier instead of her Dexterity. On
a success, the target ship is rendered immobile and the
operator can move the target ship up to 2 squares closer per
round as a bonus action. The operator must make this attack
roll every round, and if she misses twice in succession, the
target ship is freed of the effect. A tractor beam has an
effective range of 10 squares.
Turbolasers
Turbolasers are capital ship weapons designed to use the
immense power necessary to blast through the dense armor
and shielding of other large targets. They use turbine
generators to build the necessary energy, storing it in a
capacitor bank until it is discharged. The barrels of turbolasers
require substantial cooling to survive the enormous energy
involved, so many are designed to recoil into a cryogenic
"sleeve" immediately after firing. Because of this longer firing
sequence, all but the smallest turbolasers are incapable of
autofire even when mounted in double, quad, or fire - linked
configurations.

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

- 18 -

keep him alive for about an hour. (Obviously, a character who


gets into an escape pod prior to a ship's destruction does not
need to make a check.)
Typical escape pods are small, single-use vehicles providing 1
day of life support for eight Medium creatures plus rations for
another week and just enough fuel to reach a nearby planet.
Many large s hips upgrade their escape pods to more capable
models.

Concealed Hangars: The presence of a concealed hangar isn't


obvious to an external examination. Determine the hangar
space as for a regular hangar, above. It takes a DC 25 Perception
check to recognize a concealed fighter bay for what it is from an
external observation, though any thorough internal search of a
ship reveals it. It takes two full rounds for a starship to exit or
enter a concealed fighter bay.
HoloNet Transceiver/Hypertransceiver
All starships come equipped with basic communications
systems, including speed-of-light comms and subspace
transceivers. These systems allow for communication within a
star system, including sending and receiving signals to personal
comlinks.
Some ships require superior communications and are
equipped with hypertransceivers or HoloNet transceivers.
Hypertransceivers effectively have an unlimited range, allowing
ships at opposite ends of the galaxy to communicate with each
other, although such communications can experience
significant time lag. Hypertransceivers also give a ship access to
information on the HoloNet, though not with the full detail of a
HoloNet transceiver. Most military vessels carry a
hypertransceiver.
HoloNet transceivers are extremely rare and expensive
systems that allow for real-time audio, visual, and holographic
communication over an unlimited range. HoloNet transceivers
function by taking advantage of the vast system of HoloNet
satellites built during the days of the Old Republic. Only the
most important ships carry HoloNet transceivers; during the
reign of the Galactic Empire, HoloNet transceivers have an
availability of military instead of restricted. All Investigation or
Mechanics checks made to gain information with a HoloNet
transceiver have advantage.
Hypertransceivers and HoloNet transceivers are the only
means of communicating with a starship in hyperspace.
However, they can do so only if both ships are traveling along
the same path in hyperspace or if one ship is near the point of
arrival or departure for the ship in hyperspace.
If multiple ships with HoloNet transceivers work together,
they can create their own secure communications network,
such as was done with Banking Clan Frigates.

Escape Pod
CL 1
Small starfighter
Armor Class 15; HP 40
Fly Speed 1 square (starship scale)
Crew 0: Passengers 8
Cargo None; Consumables 1 day; Carried Craft None
Availability Common ; Cost 1,200 credits
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

- 19 -

preparation areas are adapted to allow gourmet cooking and


fresh food storage.
A basic luxury upgrade changes a starship from a harsh travel
vehicle to a comfortable home on the move. An advanced
luxury upgrade goes a step farther, making the ship the
equivalent of an upper-scale hotel. An extreme luxury upgrade
turns a starship into a palace in space, fit for emperors and
lords of industry. So satisfying is life on a ship with an extreme
luxury upgrade that the crew quality of the ship increases by
one step (maximum of expert), though this has no effect on the
statistics of a crew of heroes.
To maintain such luxury is not cheap, requiring 1/50 of the
cost of the upgrade each month to keep music current, quality
foods stored, and worn pillows replaced. After any month when
this expense is not paid, the luxury level of the ship is reduced
one step (extreme to advanced, advanced to basic, basic to a
typical starship) until proper upgrading is again established
(including recouping the cost of all missed months of
maintenance).
Medical Suite
A medical suite, which can be installed on ships of Colossal
(frigate) size or larger, provides the necessary facilities to
maintain the health of a crew over a long period. A medical
suite includes (starship's size modifier) / 5 medical beds and (sta
rship's size modifier) /50 bacta tanks (A starship may combine
multiple medical suites when determining the facilities
available). When a starship can't accommodate a bacta tank, a
medical bed is usually sufficient to stabilize a patient. A medical
bed contains monitoring equipment to keep track of vital signs
and the medical gear needed to deal with most common
injuries and illnesses. Treat a medical bed as a medpac (10 uses,
with a single charge costing as much as a medpac), a medical
kit, and a surgical kit.
For mechanical purposes, a medpac is treated as a potion of
healing (See the Dungeon Masters Guide). Anyone submerged
in a bacta tank is considered to be treated with a medpac every
hour.
Passenger Conversion
Some space transports and small capital ships specialize in
transporting passengers instead of cargo. One section of
passenger space has sufficient room for a number of passengers
equal to the ship's size modifier, and these passengers can
either have seats (typically for voyages of only 1 day or less) or
quarters. In either case, these are steerage-quality
accommodations (shared rooms, bunk beds, storage lockers,
and so on); for higher quality, the ship may also have a luxury
upgrade (see above).

Sensor Enhancement Package


A sensor enhancement package includes sensors superior to
those normally carried by starships, providing better detection
and early-warning capability. A sensor enhancement package
gives a system operator advantage on Perception and
Mechanics checks made to operate the ship's sensors.
Slave Circuitry
Slave circuitry reduces the number of crewmembers required to
operate a starship. This accessory is most commonly present in
older capital ships, which require tens of thousands of crew.
Basic slave circuitry reduces the crew requirements of a starship
by 1/3, and advanced slave circuitry reduces it by 2/3. The crew
requirement for a starship is never reduced to less than 1 - only
certain exceptional and custom-built slave circuits are capable
of such a feat, such as those guiding the Katana fleet. The crew
quality of a starship that has slave circuits is still based on its
remaining crew.
Recall Circuits: Available only for starships equipped with
advanced slave circuits, recall circuits allow a starship to be
summoned by comlink to the owner even when no one is
aboard the ship. A ship piloted by its recall circuits can only
liftoff, fly directly to the comlink used to summon it, and land at
that location - it can take no other actions. The ship cannot
attack or perform defensive maneuvers, and anyone in the
pilot's position can disable the recall circuits as a swift action.
Smuggler's Compartments
Smuggler's compartments are hidden cargo spaces designed to
resist detection. It takes a detailed inspection and a DC 25
Investigation check to find a smuggler's compartment. One
section holds up to (starship's cost modifier) x 200 kg of cargo,
and multiple compartments may be combined for greater cargo
capacity. However, a starship ca n never have more than 5 % of
its original cargo capacity in smuggler's compartments; beyond
that, the missing cargo space is immediately obvious to anyone
inspecting the ship.
Transponders
Because a ship's transponders are built in to its sublight
engines, it is difficult to remove or alter a ship's transponder
code. However, there are two options: You can mask your ship's
code (making it impossible to read), or you can disguise your
ship's code (making it look like a different code).
A masked transponder requires you only to reroute engine
power to overheat the transponder director, but if your
Mechanics check to install the modification fails by 10 or more,
you destroy your sublight engines in addition to losing the cost
of the modification. Furthermore, a masked transponder is
immediately apparent to everyone who detects your ship,
attracting the attention of the authorities.

- 20 -

A disguised transponder transmits a second signal that


modifies the broadcast signal pattern of your ship's
transponder, making it look like a different ship altogether.
Activating or deactivating a disguised transponder is a swift
action.
You must make a Mechanics check to access private
information in order to find the transponder code for a ship
similar to yours and then make a Deception check to create a
deceptive appearance, forging a signal that will appear
authentic. After this, installation may proceed normally, If
successful, your transponder's signal will make you appear to be
the mimicked ship. You may install more than one disguised
transponder signal to give your ship different identities that can
be turned on and off, but you have disadvantage on your
Deception check if you have multiple false signals on your ship.
IFF Transponders: This is a blank Identify Friend or Foe
transponder of the type normally installed on military starships,
and you can activate or deactivate it as a bonus action. If you
have the proper IFF codes for a given military unit, you can
upload them to your IFF transponder and appear as a "friend"
to its sensors.
If you do not have these codes, you can attempt a Mechanics
check to improve access to an enemy ship's computer using
your IFF transponder, sending queries and analyzing the other
ship's response. Your Mechanics check is opposed by the enemy
pilots Perception check or a DC of 15, and you have
disadvantage on the roll. If you manage to improve the attitude
of the enemy ship's compute, you have successfully loaded your
IFF transponder with the correct "friend" codes for that unit. If
the attitude of the enemy ship's computer ever becomes
hostile, you will appear as an enemy unit on that ship's sensors.

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.

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

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.

The Delta-7 is available only to Jedi through the Supreme


Chancellor's office, and is not legally available on the open
market. The prices given are for a Delta-7 found on the black
market, which is rare but not unheard of.
CAPABILITIES
The Delta-7 was conceived primarily as a light reconnaissance
starfighter, and its relatively light armament reflects this.
Though not designed for extended combat operations, the
Aethersprite is a capable weapons platform when flown by a
Jedi pilot.
Like its successor, the Eta-2 Actis-class Interceptor, the Jedi
Starfighter is not hyperdrive capable, and it requires a separate
hyperdrive module to travel long distances.
Each Aethersprite comes equipped with an R-4P astromech
droid, which is hardwired directly into the starfighter. Due to
the nonstandard nature of the ship's components, the pilot has
disadvantage on Mechanics checks if the R4-P is not installed.
These penalties are also taken by the droid (if present) and are
reflected in the statistics given above.

Kuat Systems Engineering developed the Delta-7 Aethersprite


when Jedi Master Saesee Tiin suggested that the Jedi form its
own corps of starfighter pilots. In the time prior to the Clone
Wars, these fighters provided an economical- and combateffective - means for Jedi to get from place to place.
Despite its utility, the Delta-7 was d istinctly Jedi in nature. For
this reason, it was rarely used by Jedi during covert operations.
Although the design was well received by the Jedi, Saesee
Tiin was nonetheless dissatisfied with the Aethersprite light
interceptor's performance. He insisted on modifying two
Aethersprites to his own specifications, adding additional
weaponry, a hyperdrive of his own design, and a meditation
chair in place of the pilot's seat.

CL 11

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.

The Aggressive ReConnaissance fighter, or ARC-1 70-developed


as a joint venture by the lncom and Subpro Corporations-serves
as both a long-range scout and a heavy assault fighter. The ACR1 70 is part of a line of starfighters, including the Z-95
Headhunter, that eventually led to the development of the Xwing. The narrow frame, flanked by powerful twin engines and
S-foils, was innovative at the time of the ARC-1 70's
introduction. Though it served with distinction during the later
days of the Clone Wars, the fighter was never built in the vast
numbers of many other designs.
The ARC-170's ultimate failing was not lack of firepower or
ability, but the high supply cost to keep it in combat. The
starfighter needs regular maintenance and requires a threeperson crew, making it expensive in terms of training,
personnel, and up keep. As a result, once the TIE fighter
replaced it in Imperial squadrons, there was very little demand
for the ARC-170. Though some were liberated by the Rebellion,
most were mothballed or scrapped simply because the Rebels
lacked the flight crews and repair bays necessary to keep the
older ARC-170s ready for combat.

Development of the A-wing began in secret shortly after the


Battle of Yavin . General Dodonna realized that the speed of
Imperial fighters had nearly cost the Alliance its victory, and he
intended to remedy the situation by designing a newer, faster
starfighter. With the aid of starship engineer Walex Blissex, the
A-wing was born. Although not as durable as other Alliance
starfighters, the A-wing is often considered to be the fastest
starfighter to see service during the Galactic Civil War.

Though the A-wing is a finicky spacecraft that is often


difficult to maintain in the field, it has proven itself to be a
capable strike fighter and reconnaissance craft. Due to its speed
and maneuverability, it excels at "hit and fade" operations a n d
surgical strikes carried out behind enemy lines. Despite its
relatively light armament, the A-wing is deadly in the hands of a
skilled pi lot. During the Battle of Endor, A-wings were
responsible for the destruction of the Super Star Destroyer
Executor.
CAPABILITIES
A-wings are phenomenally fast and agile spacecraft, making
them capable dogfighters. A-wing pilots quickly learn to use this
fact to their advantage in battle, for even a single hit from a n
enemy weapon can mean a quick and fiery death. During its
earliest months in service, the A-wing was armed only with
laser cannons a n d a sophisticated suite of electronic jammers.
In time, many A-wings were modified to carry concussion
missile launchers, adding to the nimble ship's versatility. (This
configuration was standard by the time of the New Republic.)
The A-wing's jamming system is capable of blinding enemy
sensors and fire-control computers, making it an even more
elusive target. The effectiveness of the jamming suite is limited
to small craft and space transports, and does little more than
make the A-wing a more tempting target for capital scale ships.

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.

Few starships inspire terror the way an I mperial Star Destroyer
can. A symbol of the Empire's might and an instrument of its
tyranny, the Imperial Star Destroyer is a dagger-shaped vessel
of pure destruction. Armed with powerful weapons and nearly
impregnable defenses, the Imperial Star Destroyer is a one-ship
command platform that can be used to fill a variety of roles.
Star Destroyers act as assault warships, planetary defenders,
and even escort vessels for extremely important s hips. An
Imperial Star Destroyer carries enough troops and assault
vehicles to stage an invasion on a lightly defended planet, and
acts as a mobile fortress from which the Empire can engage in
entire military campaigns.
During the height of the Empire, Star Destroyers were
deployed in every sector, and some planets even have their
own Star Destroyers assigned to them. The Imperial fortress
worlds of the Deep Core often had multiple Star Destroyers
assigned to the planet, and important planets such as Coruscant
might have as many as a dozen Star Destroyers, if not more, in
orbit at any given time. Unlike the Old Republic, the Empire
built enough ships to extend its reach all the way to the Outer
Rim, and multiple Star Destroyers patrolled the space lanes on a
regular basis.

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.

USING THE STAR DESTROYER


The Star Destroyer is an iconic ship from Star Wars lore that
symbolizes the might and power of the Empire. At the same
time, Star Destroyers are incredibly powerful vessels that can
put out the kind of firepower that can decimate a space
transport in an instant. Using Star Destroyers in the roleplaying
game can be problematic, since although they are easily
recognizable (and thus help instill a Star Wars feel to the game),
they can be inappropriately powerful for most encounters.
The Imperial Star Destroyer can be used in two ways. As an
individual ship engaging in an encounter, an Imperial Star
Destroyer can be a high level challenge that the heroes intend
to disable or destroy. These kinds of challenges are high on the
CL scale and are appropriate only for equally high-level heroes.
However, including an Imperial Star Destroyer as a set piece,
something that is a part of the encounter but not a target to be
destroyed, can be a rewarding way to simulate the action of the
movies. For the latter situation, a Star Destroyer should almost
always use the tactical fire option, leaving the actual combat to
the ship's complement of TIE fighters. This approach allows the
DM to include the ship in an encounter without introducing the
potential to wipe out the heroes with one lucky shot. The Star
Destroyer then effectively becomes a "terrain hazard" rather
than an opponent, and XP should not be awarded for the Star
Destroyer unless the ship is destroyed.

TIE BOMBER
CL 7

The Empire, wanting to standardize its starfighter fleet with


smaller ships, selected the TIE to replace a number of disparate
models that were currently in use. In time, and with continual
upgrades to the design, the TIE/In became the standard
Imperial starfighter craft. It is relatively inexpensive to produce,
and though often maligned by both Imperial and Alliance pilots,
it is nonetheless effective.
CAPABILITIES
In order to save on production costs, the TIE/In lacks many of
the features that are considered to be standard on other
starfighters. The relatively fragile craft is not equipped with
deflector shields, a hyperdrive, or a life support system. In order
to survive the rigors of space when piloting their fighters, TIE
pilots must don distinctive, fully sealed flight suits. Without the
proper supports or docking scaffolds, TIE fighters are also
unable to land in any sort of conventional manner.
Although the TIE's versatility is somewhat limited by these
deficiencies, it does have several points in its favor. Its agility,
combined with its small size and speed, makes it a difficult
target for all but the most talented or well-trained gunners. TIE
fighters, being inexpensive and easy to produce, are deployed
in large quantities. Imperial starfighter tactics stress that
enemies must be overwhelmed by sheer force of numbers, and
casualty rates among TIE pilots are much higher than average.

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.

After the Battle of Yavin, Imperial Naval commanders


demanded a starfighter that could counter the speed and
firepower of the X-wing fighters that the Rebel Alliance had
employed. The TIE interceptor, which incorporated several of
the TIE advanced prototype's features, was the ultimate result.
Prototypes similar to the initial interceptor design had
undergone testing prior to the Battle of Yavin, but these had
seen little action outside Sienar's test yards.
It was only a short time later that the final TIE interceptor
design was integrated into existing starfighter squadrons. The
Imperial Navy's eventual plan was to replace all standard TIE
fighters with TIE interceptors. This lofty goal was never quite
met, with interceptors representing only twenty percent of all
TIE fighters by the time the Battle of Endor took place. As the
number of interceptors in the Imperial Navy increased, it
became standard procedure to include at least one squadron of
TIE/In starfighters aboard each Star Destroyer
CAPABILITIES
The TIE interceptor is a consummate dogfighter, possessed of
increased speed and maneuverability when compared to the
standard TIE fighter. Not only is the interceptor faster a n d
more agile than the TIE fighter, it also incorporates four firelinked laser cannons mounted on the tips of its bent, daggershaped solar arrays. The solar arrays themselves featured a
horizontal notch that improves pilot visibility to both sides.
Although it lacks shields, armor, and life support, the TIE
interceptor has proven to be more than a match for the X-wing
fighter. Interceptor tactics are nearly identical to those utilized
by standard TIE fighters.

CL 10

The X-wing was designed following the formation of the Empire.


Incom Corporation, suspected by the Empire of harboring Rebel
sympathizers, was forced to halt production of non-Navy
combat craft during an Imperial Security Bureau investigation
into allegations of treason within the company. Members of the
X-wing design team were placed under arrest while they were
interrogated by Imperial agents. As the Imperial investigation
intensified, a group of Rebel commandos infiltrated the facility
and rescued t h e X-wing's senior design team, taking all T-65
plans and prototypes with them.

Following the acquisition of the X-wing's schematics, the


Alliance began to produce and test small numbers of the new
starfighter. Most of the initial trials were done under combat
conditions. With its efficacy proven beyond a doubt, Rebel
factories ramped up production of t h e T-65B. The craft soon
became a favorite of Rebel fighter pilots, and it has been a
staple of Rebel strategy ever since.
CAPABILITIES
The T-65B is an excellent all-around starfighter, capable of filling
a number of roles with little or no modification. Not only is it
maneuverable and easy to fly, it is equipped with modest
shields, heavy weaponry, and an integrated hyperdrive. It is also
a durable craft, capable of sustaining heavy damage while
remaining operational. Were it not for this inherent sturdiness
of design, the Rebel Alliance could never hope to match the
sheer number of Imperial fighters that are thrown against it.
Each X-wing is equipped with a socket that is capable of
carrying an astromech droid. The astromech droid is an integral
component of the X-wing, and only adds to the starfighter's
versatility. Not only can the diminutive droid see to minor
repairs, it also uses its systems to help compute and store
hyperspace coordinates.

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.}

The YT-2400 is CEC's bid to produce a "perfect" light freighter.


An upgrade of the YT-2000 design, it incorporates everything
learned during the run of the long and successful YT line.
Though it uses many of the same technology upgrades as the
short-run YT-2000, the YT-2400 returned to the off-center
cockpit arrangement. Though for both smaller and larger craft a
centermounted cockpit makes sense, it turned out that many
pilots preferred an offset cockpit so they could easily dock their
ships with the cockpit side directly against a wall or similar
obstruction.
Though the YT-2400 isn't as sturdy as the YT-2000, it has
thirty percent more cargo capacity, an escape pod built into the
cockpit section (disadvantage on Acrobatics checks to enter the
escape pod from the cockpit if the YT-2400 is destroyed), and
better maneuverability. Since most owners end up adding
additional weapons and defenses after purchase anyway, the
slightly reduced martial capability of the YT-2400 does little to
discourage sales.
Among the most well-known YT-2400s is the Outrider, the
ship of smuggler and mercenary Dash Rendar.

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).

Y-WING

As a result, the Y-wing fighter, lovingly called the "wishbone"


by Rebel Alliance pilots, was the workhorse and backbone of
the early Rebellion. As the X-wing became increasingly available
to the Rebellion, Y-wings became second- line starfighters used
only because so many were available. Plans to decommission all
Y-wings are periodically drawn up, but some of the ships
continue to serve through the Yuuzhan Vong invasion and the
conflicts that follow it.

CAPABILITIES
Although not as swift as an X-wing, the Y-wing was a sturdy,
well-shielded craft with a powerful attack in the form of two ion
cannons and proton torpedo tubes. Ungainly for a snubfighter,
the Y-wing served as a joint fighter/bomber, able to both enter
dogfights with TIE fighters and take out armored targets, such
as enemy freighters and planetary bunkers.

Built by Koensayr Manufacturing, the Y-wing was designed to


be used in the Clone Wars, but wasn't in production until after
that conflict ended. Having already spent the money to retool
shipyards to produce the ships, and unable to interest the
Empire in the design, Koensayr began selling the ships to
anyone who had credits to spare. Officially all such purchases
were to legitimate planetary or business concerns, but Koensayr
was happy to look the other way if a Hutt or a Rebel managed
to produce even halfway realistic documents supporting a sale.

BESTiary
This Star Wars universe is home to a dizzying array of sapient
species. Despite the fact that humans have been traveling the
stars for tens of thousands of years, and many aliens have been
doing the same for an equal amount of time, scouts discover
new inhabited worlds all the time.
This section presents various creatures and characters that
DMs can use as potential allies or adversaries for the heroes,
from rampaging rancors to clone troopers. Each ally or
opponent comes with ready-to-play statistics to make the DMs
job a little easier.

BEASTS
ACKLAY
The most dangerous predator native to Geonosis is the savage
acklay, a monstrous antropod with an armored exoskeleton and
slashing foreclaws.

DEWBACK
Of all the creatures indigenous to Tatooines vast deserts, the
dewback is the most respected. While the plodding bantha
makes for shelter at the first hint of a sandstorm, the dewback
marches resolutely on without so much as a grunt, even right
through the heart of the storm.

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.

TAUNTAUN

WAMPA

Dirty and smelly, the reptilian tauntaun is perfectly suited to life


on the barren ice world of Hoth. The tauntauns thick fur and
layers of fate keep its body temperature high enough to
operate during the day, but it must seek shelter from the bitter
cold at night.

The wampa is a fearsome predator, both aggressive and subtle.


Displaying uncanny cunning, a wampa sometimes ventures into
even heavily guarded areas to slaughter and drag a victim away,
leaving the survivors confused, and ripe targets for another
attack later.
Wampas are covered in dirty white fur and move with
amazing stealth. Only their claws, horns, and gleaming yellow
eyes show up against the backdrop of Hoths endless
snowfields. Most of the time, especially in a raging storm, that
simply isnt enough to betray the wampas presence.

Nonheroic characters

STORMTROOPER

Nonheroic characters include everything from professional


workers to petty criminals, officers to common thugs. They lack
the inclination or training to be heroes, but they are capable in
their own fields. Skilled engineers, educated professors, and
master architects are all nonheroic characters, as is the local
governor, the self-serving spice merchant, and the baseline
Imperial stormtrooper.
The Minions featured in the Noble class Bodyguard, Thug,
and Trooper are included here as well for easier reference.

THE GALACTIC EMPIRE


The Galactic Empire is a vast and highly organized government
ruled over by Emperor Palpatine. The Empire seized power at
the end of the Clone Wars following an unprecedented military
built-up and the destruction of the Jedi Order.
The Empire is divided into sectors, each of which is
government by a Moff and guarded by military forces. The
Empires authority on any given world can range from a single
garrison (found mostly on backwater planets like Tatooine) to
an intense presence with a Stormtrooper on every street corner
(as in the Deep Core and important Core worlds).
STORMTROOPER
Stormtroopers are the elite troops of the Empire, trained to
fight and die without fear or question. Squads of Stormtroopers
strike terror into the hearts of civilians throughout the galaxy,
enforcing the Emperors will with ruthless zeal and efficiency.
Stormtroopers are a separate force from the troops of
Imperial Forces and do not answer directly to Imperial military
officers. They are obedient and devoted to the Emperor. They
cannot be bribed, blackmailed, or seduced. Any such attempt
automatically fails.
After recognizing the need for troopers with special
equipment and training, the Emperor ordered the development
of additional types of stormtroopers, including (but not limited
to) snowtroopers, sandtroopers, and scout troopers.

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.

CLONE TROOPER COMMANDER

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.

ARC TROOPER

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.

BODYGUARD

DARK SIDE MARAUDER

Across the galaxy there are those in need, or mere desire, of


protection. Bodyguards fill that position with steadfast dedication.
Whether hired to defend a high-ranking noble or secure a location of
importance. Bodyguards lay their lives on the line, though far too often
they are seen as faceless assets.

Though the Jedi are the most powerful Force-users in the galaxy, they
are by no means the only ones. Dark side marauders are Forcesensitive individuals consumed with rage, hatred, or an insatiable
hunger for personal power.
