Does it mean it official doesn't? Or doesn't have real power?

A bit of both in my opinion. In my game, the Empire's grasp on the Outer Rim is very tenuous apart from large populated worlds and impo ...

Finished the first session a couple of days back, and this happened:

The Federal navy raided an Imperial convoy, which was inadequately defended due to Moffs bickering about who's job it is to esco ...

Finally settled down so I can actually run this campaign.

The first session is tomorrow with a total of six players: the General, the Admiral of the Fleet, the Chief of Staff, the Intelligence Dire ...

Thanks for sharing. Smile

You seem to have given your system quite a bit of thought. If you haven't already done so, you might want to look at the link to the Geneva conventions, unless the POWs are p ...

Personally, I've always been fond of the idea that shields allow ships to completely avoid damage at some points. Since I use the Star ORE rules for my own campaign, I don't have any D6 houserules for ...

Regarding the treatment of POW's, I wrote a short piece for my own campaign: http://imperialcenterdoesnothold.wordpress.com/2011/07/06/crime-and-punishment-in-the-federation-of-independent-worlds-prat ...

Remember that nuclear explosions in space aren't nearly as destructive as ones in an atmosphere. Also, there will be no real EMP pulse in deep space.

I used an idea from the Atomic Rockets website to have my campaign use a new classification method for capital ships.

With regards to the Type II, I would put it in the 350 to 400 meters range, which puts is closer in length to the Nebulon B and the Lancer. In fact, that may even be too much, as the Carrack Light Cr ...

Inspired by the K-wing thread, I decided to post this.

While there are lots of good and smart ships out there, some canon stuff is just really really bad. Here's an example: http://starwars.wikia.c ...
