repaired. If the ship or vehicle has no defense, suffer 1 point of system strain.

28-36 Easy (+) Knocked O ff C ourse: A particularly strong blast or impact sends the ship or vehicle careening
off in a new direction. On his next turn, the pilot cannot execute any maneuvers and must make
a Piloting check to regain control. The difficulty of this check depends on his current speed.

R2 unit) fails, and the ship cannot make the jump to hyperspace until the Critical Hit is repaired.
If the ship or vehicle is without a hyperdrive, the vehicle or ship's navigation systems fail, leaving
it flying or driving blind, unable to tell where it is or where it's going.

73-81 A verage 4 +) Po w er Flu ctu atio ns: The ship or vehicle is beset by random power surges and outages. The
pilot cannot voluntarily inflict system strain on the ship (to gain an extra starship maneuver, for
example) until this Critical Hit is repaired.

82-90 Hard (+++) Shields Down: Decrease defense in affected defense zone to 0, and decrease defense in all other
defense zones by 1 until this Critical Hit is repaired. While the defense of the affected defense zone
cannot be restored until the Critical Hit is repaired, defense from other zones can be assigned to protect
that defense zone as usual. If the ship or vehicle has no defense, suffer 4 points of system strain.

1, until the Critical Hit is repaired.

100-108 H ard ( 4 4 4 ) Shield O verload: The ship's shields completely fail. Decrease the defense of all defense zones to

109-117 H ard ( 4 ^ 4 ) Engines Down: The ship or vehicle’s maximum speed is reduced to 0 until the Critical Hit is
repaired, although it continues on its present course thanks to momentum. In addition, the ship
cannot execute any maneuvers until the Critical Hit is repaired.

For ships and vehicles of silhouette 4 and smaller, the entire ship depressurizes in a number of
rounds equal to the ship’s silhouette. Ships and vehicles of silhouette 5 and larger tend to be
highly compartmentalized and have many safeguards against depressurization. These ships don’t
completely depressurize, but parts do (the specifics regarding which parts depressurize is up
to the CM; however, each section of the ship or vehicle that does lose air does so in a number
of rounds equal to the vehicle’s silhouette). Vehicles and ships operating in an atmosphere can
better handle this Critical Hit. However, the huge tear still inflicts penalties, causing the vehicle to
suffer the Destabilized Critical Hit instead (see next entry).

and anyone caught in the fire takes damage as discussed on page 220. A fire can be put out with
some quick thinking and appropriate skill or Vigilance and/or Cool checks at the Came Master’s
discretion. Once going, a fire takes one round per 2 of the ship’s silhouette points to put out.

ship is completely destroyed, and the surrounding environment is littered with debris. Anyone
aboard the ship or vehicle has one round to get to an escape pod, bail out, or dive for the
nearest hatch before they are lost.

dramatic fireball. Nothing survives.

Weapon System One weapon system of the attacker’s choice is knocked offline.

Sensors Sensor range is reduced by one range band. If the ship's sensors are already limited to close range, they
are knocked offline completely, and the ship is effectively blind until the sensors are rebooted or repaired,
depending on the severity of the Critical Hit.

Comms The comms are knocked offline, and the ship can neither send nor receive any electronic signals or data.

Sublight Engines The engines are slightly damaged, and the ship's speed is reduced by 1 point.

Hyperdrive Either the hyperdrive or navicomputer is damaged, and the ship cannot make the jump to hyperspace.

Shields The ship's defense is reduced by 1 point in all defense zones.

TABLE 7-11: LARGE SHIP OR VEHICLE COMPONENTS
Component Description

Landing Cear The ship's landing gear is stuck. Any attempt to land a ship that cannot deploy its landing gear results in 2
points of hull trauma and 2 points of system strain. This only applies to ships of silhouette 5 or less; anything
larger is unable to enter a planet's atmosphere.

Weapon System One weapon system of the attacker’s choice is knocked offline.

Sensors Sensor range is reduced by one range band.

Comms The comms are knocked offline, and the ship can neither send nor receive any electronic signals or data.

Sublight Engines The engines are slightly damaged, and the ship’s speed is reduced by 1 point.

Hyperdrive The hyperdrive is damaged, and the ship cannot make the jump to hyperspace.

Shields The ship’s defense is reduced by 1 point in all defense zones.

Landing Bay One of the vessel’s landing bays is knocked out of commission. The severity of the damage is ultimately left to
the Came Master’s discretion, and could result in anything from a temporary inability to launch or recover ships
from this bay to a failure of the docking bay shield and a total decompression of the entire compartment.

Cargo Hold The ship is hulled, and one of the cargo holds is exposed to vacuum. Cargo may be damaged or lost, and
anyone in the cargo hold takes damage according to the Came Master’s discretion.

Bridge The bridge is damaged. No starship maneuvers or starship actions may be executed aboard the ship until the
damage is repaired. In addition, the ship continues on its course at its current speed, and cannot be stopped
or its course changed until the damage is fixed.

selected for their small stature. Every bit of fat was
trimmed from the initial design, resulting in a very
dangerous, blisteringly fast, and astonishingly agile

Along with being very light, the ship is also incred­
ibly simple, with few moving parts and a highly modu­

maintained with little effort by technicians with scant
experience. It draws its power from a miniature ver­

the fighter’s wing assemblies and converts it into en­

CAPITAL SHIPS

In layman’s terms, a capital ship
is typically a large, heavily armed
and armored warship designed
to battle other ships of its type.
Numerous types of ships fall
under the definition of capi­
tal ship, from light and nimble
corvettes to workhorse cruis­
ers to the massive, terrifying
Star Destroyers of the Imperial
Navy. As a rule, capital ships have
sturdy hulls, thick armor, robust
shields, and the most powerful
shipboard weapon systems in
the galaxy.

THE FORCE WIELDERS

Now on his own, the warrior found his way to a build- -j
ing, a monastery in the hills of that place. Its symbol­
ism was hauntingly familiar, but he sought answers,
and so with little pause he went inside. There, he met
the third being, wizened by untold experience, who
called himself the Father.

They talked, and the Father said he and his children
were called “Force Wielders.” He said that he gov­
erned the balance between his family— and between
the light and the dark— in that place. If he did not,
their power could threaten the fabric of the universe.
As the Son had hinted at earlier, the Father asked the
warrior if he was the Chosen One.

It was a title the warrior did not believe in, and a mantle
he did not seek. Still, the Father wanted to know the truth
of this. So he sent his children to capture the warrior's
friends, and he brought them to the monastery. There,
with the warrior’s old master threatened by the Daugh- f
ter's light, and his apprentice by the Son’s darkness, the
Father told the warrior to choose which to save.

He would not choose. Drawing upon the Force that
was all around them in that place, the warrior sub- I
dued both the Son and the Daughter and made them
release his friends. However, the great power he dis­
played only reinforced the Father’s conviction that he
was the Chosen One.

The Father took the warrior aside, explaining that he
was dying and that it was the Chosen One’s destiny to
take his place, and to maintain the balance. The war­
rior considered, but refused him. He had a life beyond
that place, and a wife he loved passionately, though in
secret, for their love was forbidden. The Father said
he could not force the warrior to accept his destiny,
but warned him that refusing it would bring suffering
to the entire galaxy. The warrior would not be per­
suaded, and the seekers departed into the melancholy
sky. Did the Father's warning come to pass? Well,
perhaps I will tell you more of their fate another time.

THE WAYS OF THE FORCE

T he Force still represents one of the greatest sources
of power in the galaxy, for good or evil. It requires
the will of a Force-sensitive being to use it and lacks
the easy approachability of technology. To those with
the necessary ability, it can be turned to a seemingly
infinite number of uses. Individuals who are strong in
the Force can enhance their own abilities, understand
their surroundings on an intuitive level, or even use it to
exert their will upon the physical matter around them.

LEARNING ABOUT
THE FORCE

Such ability is very rare. Though an individual may
manifest sensitivity to the Force at any time, it is a tal­
ent that must be developed, rather than a skill that can
be taught. In most species, it typically appears at a
young age. Their gift often sets these individuals apart,
as even untrained Force use can grant insights or physi­
cal capabilities far beyond those considered normal.

This keeps the communities of Force users small,
and isolated from much of galactic society. In the
days of the Jed i Order, members sought out children
with Force potential for instruction. Today, exhibiting
such ability is extremely dangerous. Rumors of it are
likely to bring Imperial scrutiny and retribution down
upon those thought to harbor a Force-sensitive, let
alone upon the individual himself.

Even for those with the talent, discipline and train­
ing are necessary to fully open themselves to the
Force and learn to use it. Finding a mentor to assist
one in learning about the ways of the Force is difficult
at best, for those with the greatest wisdom were the
first to fall during the Em pire’s purges. M any of those
since born with the gift remain unaware of it. Those
who know are often best advised to hide it.

Still, there always remain those who will not be
stopped from pursuing their destiny and realizing
their potential. They are compelled to learn what they
can about the Force, whether for themselves or the
sake of others.

THE POWERS OF
THE FORCE

The power that the Force confers to a user can vary
widely, but its capabilities are traditionally broken
into three broad categories:
