A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away ...
Evil threatens to consume the galaxy. The Sith Empire's
relentless assault during the Sacking of Coruscant
destroyed the Jedi Temple and drove the Republic's
defenders into exile after the last war. The surviving Jedi
have withdrawn to their ancient homeworld of Tython, where
they take advantage of a fragile peace to train a new generation
of guardians for the galaxy.
Chaos grips the Galactic Republic. Influential star systems break
away from the millennia-old alliance, angered over the Senate's
treaty with the Sith Empire. On many worlds, civil war erupts
between loyal Republic citizens and violent separatist extremists
waging a campaign of terror against their own peoples. The Republic
sends its best and brightest soldiers to help defeat the separatists and
restore peace to these war-ravaged worlds.
Elsewhere, anarchy rules in the frontier systems. While the Republic struggles
to recover from its conflict with the Sith Empire, reckless mercenaries profit
from the interstellar turmoil. The worlds ravaged by civil war between pro-
Republic citizens and separatist extremists have become a lucrative destination
for free traders. The Empire, seeking allies among the neutral systems, has targeted
the foul planets of the Hutts - though its wealthy and corrupt crime lords refuse to
take sides in the cold war.
Meanwhile, the Sith Empire tightens its grip on the galaxy. The Empire has won a major
victory against the Republic and its Jedi guardians, conquering and enslaving many new
worlds. With a fragile peace negotiated, the Empire sends all potential Sith to undergo cruel
and deadly trials at its Academy on the harsh planet Korriban, while its slaves toil to
unearth relics of vast power that can be used to dominate the galaxy….

ERAS OF PLAY
With the inclusion of the Old Republic, Clone Wars, and sequel trilogy time periods, the Eras of Play
introduced in the Star Wars Roleplaying Game D20 Core Rulebook have been updated to reflect a wider
view of the Star Wars universe. The updated view respects sixteen different eras of play for the Star Wars
Roleplaying Game. This Galaxy Guide covers the period of the Great Galactic War (3,956-3,653 BBY).
ERA MODIFIERS
Technology advances a lot over a thousand years. While a blaster has been a blaster as far back as
anyone can remember, the shields used to deflect it and the armor used to absorb it have advanced
considerably over the 25,000 years of known galactic history.
For this reason, an optional rule exists to reflect the difference in build strength and technological
development between different time periods. When comparing two technological values from items of
differing eras - say, a starfighter's blaster and a ship's hull, or a lightsaber blade and a suit of armor - refer to
the following chart and subtract the difference between the two eras' die codes from the older item's roll.
Era Difference Cost Multiplier
Pre-Republic (37,000-25,000 BBY) -3D-1 x100
Early Republic (25,000-5,000 BBY) -3D x50
Tales of the Jedi (5,000-4,000 BBY) -2D-2 x30
Jedi Civil War (4,000-3,956 BBY) -2D-1 x11
Great Galactic War (3,956-3,653 BBY) -2D x10
Middle Republic (3,653-1,000 BBY) -1D-2 x8
Pre-Empire (1,000-22 BBY) -1D-1 x2
Clone Wars (22-19 BBY) -1D x1.5
Empire (19-5 BBY) -2 x1.2
Pre-Rebellion (5-0 BBY) -1 x1.1
Rebellion (0-5 ABY) 0D x1
New Republic (5-25 ABY) +1 x0.9
New Jedi Order (25-37 ABY) +2 x0.8
Legacy (37- ABY) +2 x0.7
The Force Awakens (30- ABY) +2 x0.7
Infinities (-) - -
For example, Eran is flying a Rebellion era YT-850 freighter (0D) against a vintage Clone
War era ARC-170 fighter (-1D). If the ARC-170 were to fire its laser cannon at the YT-850, the
older ship would subtract 1D from its laser's damage roll against the YT's newer hull, to
represent the relative difference in armor strength. Consequently, were the YT to return
fire, the ARC-170 would be at a -1D penalty for its Hull strength roll against the newer ship's
lasers. However, neither ship would be at a penalty when rolling their piloting skill and
adding their ship's Maneuver dice, as the rolls are not directly against one another.
Note that Era Modifiers are NOT applied when a living being's Strength rolls are involved. As there is little
to no advancement in the biology of a being from era to era, a blaster bolt is just as damaging to living
tissue regardless of which era it was made in. Era Modifiers are used only to represent differences in
manufacturing and technology relative to each other.
Cost Modifiers
Similar to technology differences from century to century, the previous table also lists a price modifier
for each era. As with the previous codes, the difference in the price modifiers is applied to an item from a
previous era being sold in the current era. This multiplier represents the rarity, collectibility, and scarcity
of such items.
For each item, apply the difference in cost modifiers to the object's base cost, and multiply against the
item's Availability code. The rarer the object in its own time, the more expensive it will be down the line...
For example, Ryloh is attempting to sell a Clone War era Delta-7 Aethersprite fighter to
the local resistance to make some quick credits. In her time, the Aethersprite had a cost of
145,000 credits used. During the Rebellion era, Ryloh should be able to get 1.5 times that
price, or 217,500 credits, from the right collector.
Note that the multiplier is NOT allied to an item which is naturally occurring and has no appreciable
difference in value to a collector. For example, a cylinder of Tibanna gas is the same in every era, and even
being 25,000 years old, has virtually no value difference to a prospective buyer. It will merely end up in the
same place as every other canister - a blaster pack. As the saying goes, “no one pays a premium for old
Tibanna.”
Decay Modifiers
Separate from the Era Modifiers representing relative technological improvement over time, sometimes
you will need to reflect the simple effects of aging on an object - be it a blaster or a starship.
To show the effect neglect and decay have had on an object, consult the following chart and roll the
listed damage a number of times consistent with the object's location and the duration of its stay. This
represents the damage to various components that may occur over time - the damage, if it occurs at all,
might heavily impact just one system, or be spread out over multiple systems.
Roll Damage for: Frequency
Location Every 1,000 years
Every 500 years
Vacuum Every 100 years
Light environment (orbit) Every 50 days
Moderate environment (atmosphere)
Dense environment (high gravity)
Amount of Damage:
Condition Damage
Vacuum 2D
Trace gases 2D+2
Standard atmosphere 3D
Heavy atmosphere/fluid 4D
Corrosive atmosphere/particulate * 5D
(blowing sand/ice, asteroids)
Heavy gravitic/tectonic stresses * 6D
* These conditions roll a minimum of once, at -1D, as long as the
object has been sitting for at least a year.
For example, Kon, a pirate in the Rebellion era, has run across a derelict Defender-class
transport in deep space. Floating abandoned on the edge of a nebula, the ancient transport
looks almost intact… What condition might it be in after all these years? Kon’s player
consults the chart and determines that the Defender is 3,600 years old, and has been
floating in a near-vacuum with trace gases. Accordingly, he rolls the 2D+2 damage for
atmospheric conditions, three separate times (once for each 1,000 years of decay).
Around the same time, Blick discovers an aging Clone War era Jedi Interceptor fighter
abandoned in the deserts of Tatooine, near the Jundland Wastes. It looks as though
someone tried to cover the vintage vessel with disguise netting, but the harsh winds and
desert heat have worn away the cover. Blick’s player consults the chart, and finds that,
although the ship has not been sitting long enough in a standard atmosphere to warrant a
damage roll (every 100 years), the fact that the atmosphere is corrosive and/or particulate-
filled (the desert sands of Tatooine are notorious for damaging vehicles), he rolls the
minimum damage of 4D (5D-1D).

some cases as gladiators themselves.

THE LEGEND OF HAVOC SQUAD
The founding unit of the Republic Special Forces division, infantry squad 326–code-named “Havoc Squad”–is
renowned as the army’s most elite fighting team. Despite the total secrecy of Havoc’s missions, the team has taken
on an almost superhuman reputation on both sides of the war–unstoppable commandos who can strike anytime,
anywhere, regardless of opposition. Before Special Forces existed as a separate division of its own, Havoc Squad
was attached to a standard infantry division throughout the Great War. It wasn’t until the Battle of Alderaan that the
squad rose to galactic fame, leading a small group of wounded and recovering men to victory against a massive
Imperial invasion force. The value of small elite units had been proven, and Havoc Squad was later chosen as the
model for a full division of highly trained and agile infantry squads–the Republic Special Forces.[4]
Havoc Squad's creation was part of the larger introduction of Galactic Republic special forces commandos
following the departure of the Jedi from Coruscant for the planet Tython. The squad saw action in many Cold War
hot spots, including the civil war on Ord Mantell and the Battle of Alderaan. Led by the brave commander Malcom,
Havoc Squad helped reclaim Alderaan from the forces of the Sith Empire under the leadership of the Sith Lord,
Darth Malgus. During the battle on Alderaan, Havoc Squad fought and killed numerous Imperial troopers, assault
droids and Sith alike, though the squad was considerably outnumbered. During the battle, Satele Shan arrived to aid
Havoc Squad in combating Darth Malgus' Sith forces, slaying a number of Sith Warriors before defeating Malgus in
single combat, effectively allowing the Republic to emerge victorious from the guerrilla conflict.[1]
Defection
The legend of Havok Squad then took a dark turn.
Eventually, the squad fell under the command of Harron Tavus who led them during multiple engagements. This
saw them face numerous skirmishes against the elite Shadow Fist unit of the Imperial Military.
A noted incident emerged when the squad was sent by General Garza to Ando Prime to cut off an Imperial
offensive. The squad encountered more enemy soldiers than expected and were forced to call for extraction. But
before Garza could get a rescue operation going, the Republic Senate shut it down. Garza had sent the squad to
Ando Prime without the Senate's consent or knowledge, and the senators would not allow her to risk re-igniting war
with the Empire. To prevent violating the Treaty of Coruscant, the Senate did not acknowledge the squads mission
as sanctioned. The squad was left stranded in enemy territory, though they managed to return to the Republic
through a stolen shuttle. However, the incident left a dark scar on the team with many of its members believing that
they were betrayed by the Republic. Together, they began making their plans to defect to the Empire.
The defection of Havoc Squad occurred just as a new recruit joined their ranks. Untainted by the betrayal at
Ando Prime, this new recruit, who came to be known simply as “Havoc” – resisted the efforts of Tavus. Though he
was unable to stop the traitors from escaping, Havoc did report their defection to General Garza, as well as their
seizure of the ZR-57 Orbital Strike Bomb, a weapon of immense destruction.
Afterwards, the recruit was made the new head of Havoc Squad and given the task of recruiting new members
into the squad, being given a lead by recruiting Aric Jorgan, who was recently demoted to Sergeant, as Havoc's first
squadmate.[5]
THE NEW HAVOC SQUAD
Through a series of offensive campaigns, the new leader of Havok Squad quickly filled out its ranks with loyal,
fearless officers and eventually succeeded in hunting down the remaining members of the traitorous original group.
Opting to continue the squad rather than disband it, Havoc himself, as well as General Garza and Aric Jorgan were
instrumental in restoring the good name of Havoc Squad, as well as the place it held in the hearts and minds of the
Republic citizens. Now, as before, joining Havoc Squad is once again the highest a honor a loyal Republic soldier
can hope to achieve.

REPUBLIC TROOPER FIELD RECONNAISSANCE
Deployed to the hairiest battlefields in the galaxy, Republic Troopers generally travel in small,
specialized squads. It is not uncommon, however, to see a Trooper engaging enemies on his or her
own. Whether operating solo or in groups, members of the Republic Special Forces have become
intimidating opponents to their enemies.
Outfitting
The Republic’s experiments with a new generation of heavy blaster rifles have proven successful,
sparking a galaxy-wide trend towards larger, more powerful and more versatile armaments. It takes a
great deal of strength and training, however, to wield these war machines, so they’re rarely used
outside the military. Republic engineers have also worked overtime fashioning new defensive gear for
the Republic’s most elite soldiers, armor suits that provide maximum protection and flexibility in
multiple environments.
Combat Tactics
Whether fighting as part of a small strike squad or at the forefront of a larger force, the Trooper
can unleash unrivaled firepower against his enemies. A Trooper’s rifle is his best friend, and the
military is constantly challenged to design faster, more powerful and more reliable blaster rifles every
year. Wielding such rifles and wearing protective battle armor designed by the Republic’s top
engineers, the Trooper will not hesitate to step right into the crossfire. Whether storming a base or a
battlefield, the Trooper charges into the fight, blaster-rifle blazing, to clear a path for freedom and
justice.
Though the Trooper’s tactical strengths tend to rely on ranged technology and superior firepower,
standard training involves lengthy exercises in close-quarters combat. A slam to the face from a
cortosis-reinforced rifle stock is a very effective melee maneuver. In addition to the arsenal of attacks
available to the Trooper using his rifle, standard Trooper equipment often includes a number of
sticky grenades. Nearly impossible to remove, these explosives unerringly dispose of the target and
anyone standing nearby. Taking full advantage of the modern rifle’s versatile attachments, the
Trooper can launch a high-powered grenade that explodes on impact, incapacitating a single target.[1]

Lieutenant Felix Iresso
The son of refugees made homeless during the

career soldier for many years. His file shows
participation in several notable battles, including
the so-called Eight-Hour Invasion of Dubrillion
where Republic forces repelled an Imperial invasion
force with minimal reinforcements. Since then,
Lieutenant Iresso has earned excellent technical
scores and commendations for exemplary service.

Sergeant Fideltin Rusk
Raised by a colony of pacifist Chagrians, Rusk
rebelled against his family's beliefs and enlisted
with the Republic military as soon as he could. At
first, he proved to be a brilliant soldier and was
identified as a rising star in the Republic's ranks.
Somewhere along the way, however, his bravery
crossed the line into recklessness. Although he still
accomplished his combat missions, casualty rates
among his squad rose astronomically. Rusk quickly
became a pariah among other soldiers, including
his superiors. His aggressive pursuit of victory over
the Sith Empire at any cost has earned him many
medals from politicians, but no promotions from
his commanders.[4]

JEDI KNIGHT FIELD RECONNAISANCE
The Jedi Knight’s graceful movements are awesome to behold. Freezing a moment in this display captures the
deep commitment underlying the Jedi’s dazzling abilities. Though a Jedi Knight’s life is filled with battle and
adventure, the Knight’s heart is dedicated to peace and service. An ironic observation to some, but greater
wisdom suggests it is the Jedi Knights’ humble devotion which makes them so likely to become such famous
heroes.
Outfitting
The galaxy has been plagued by war for decades, and despite the Treaty of Coruscant, the Jedi have no
delusions about the constant danger. Though traditional Jedi robes range from light cloth to thick leathers, many
Jedi Knights also wear parts or entire suits of heavy armor when going into battle.
Combat Tactics
Whether defending allies by deflecting a barrage of blaster-fire or charging in to challenge a Sith Lord, the
Knight’s role is crucial in any conflict. The Jedi Knight enjoys the benefit of ancient teachings that have been
passed down through hundreds of generations. Combining these time-tested maneuvers with the natural guidance
of the Force, the Knight is capable of achieving extraordinary feats.
Focusing body and mind, the Knight is capable of blasting opponents with a powerful wave of Force energy,
knocking them off their feet. More powerful Jedi Knights have even been known to practice this technique against
large groups. The Jedi Knight’s lightsaber techniques include powerful, synergistic combinations designed to
render any enemy defenseless against a decisive finishing move. While completing this maneuver, the Knight is
preparing to take on an additional enemy. Combining physical prowess and Force focus, the Knight can throw his
lightsaber in spinning arc to strike enemies at a distance. Practice and mastery of this maneuver enables the
Knight to ensure his saber returns to his hand after its lethal circuit.[1]

Chapter Two: The Republic
JEDI CONSULAR FIELD RECONNAISSANCE
In a more peaceful age, Jedi Consulars may have humbly dedicated their lives to service as keepers of Jedi lore
or as ambassadors in service to the Republic—tasks for which Consulars are uniquely qualified. However, as the
shadow of the Empire has spread further across the galaxy, Consulars have stepped up to face the darkness on
the front lines of battle as often as they've faced it when exploring the mysteries of the Force.
Outfitting
Preferring to stay as nimble on the battlefield as they are in negotiations, Jedi Consulars avoid the heavy battle
armor worn by many Jedi Knights, Dense polymers and Cortosis armors would weigh them down; light cloaks and
ornamented robes suit their strengths better, and the efforts they most often find themselves engaged in. No
matter where they go, however, Consulars are never without the Lightsaber that marks their initiation into the
Jedi Order.
Combat Tactics
The Consular’s powers go far beyond meditation and mediation, and nothing illustrates this as vividly as their
graceful movements in battle. Whether beset by an army of assassin droids or caught in the middle of soured
negotiations, the Jedi Consular fights with an open conduit for the Force; manipulating massive forces to disable
or even destroy their enemies.
The dual-bladed Lightsaber preferred by many Consulars requires a skilled approach to dueling. Wielding this
weapon, Jedi Consulars will draw upon the Force to sense their opponents’ locations and strike them all down
with precision. The Jedi Consular doesn’t just detect disturbances in the Force—sometimes they create them. This
powerful ability allows the Consular to project a wall of pure Force energy into their opponents. The Jedi Consular
has a preternatural understanding of how the Force connects all things, and they draw on this knowledge to toss
enemies of all sizes into the air, before hurling them to the ground.[1]

Prone to cynicism and a stubborn independent
streak, Kira Carsen is an improbable recruit to the
Jedi Order. This is partially excused by the fact that
she began her Padawan training as a young adult;
Kira had spent most of her life up to that point as a
homeless drifter, scraping out a miserable
existence on some of the galaxy’s most unpleasant
worlds. Thanks to her hard-luck upbringing, Kira
has considerably more life experience than most
Jedi–and a world-weary sophisticate’s attitude to
match. In the eyes of her peers, Kira is someone
who refuses to take anything seriously or fully
commit to the Jedi path. Those who look more
closely, however, might detect the glimmer of an
optimist peeking through Kira’s sarcastic facade.

IMPERIAL NAVY
The Imperial Navy, also called the Imperial
Armada, is the naval branch of the Sith Empire's
Imperial military. The Navy fields a large fleet of
warships of various. It was constructed over
centuries by orders of Grand Moff Odile Vaiken,
who knew that he would not live to see a fraction of
it complete.[5]
The domains of the Sith Empire are not strictly
located within the known worlds and included
planets within the Unknown Regions. These were
taken by military expeditions into those unknown
tracts of space and the claiming of such worlds
further expanded the influence of the Empire.[1]
NAVY RANK STRUCTURE
The Imperial Navy, as the naval branch of
the Imperial Military, is overseen by the
Ministry of War alongside the Army. Imperial
Navy ranks adhere to the following structure:
Private, Specialists, Corporal, Petty Officer,
Ensign, Lieutenant, Captain, Group Captain,
Commodore, Admiral, and Grand Admiral.[5]
