I'm liking the way this is going, and I agree that it should use Rogue Squadron to break into a Starfighter Source book.
With the history of Rogue Squadron, will you include the states of the famous rogues? the Pre-Endor/Endor ones? Or just the post Endor ones?
Will you also include Fighter info? it's basically just copying Stats from the other books, but having X-Wing, A-Wing, and all the other fighters there might be helpful
a way to include the 181st and fel would be a Know your enemy type thing. Have the Tie Variants included then, and a writeup on the famous imps.
Although I like the idea of a first person narrative, I think we should avoid a known character, it allows more freedom with how it's handled. No chance of breaking with established characters. And allows you to go from serious to joking as well.

I don't know about having stats for every starfighter one might encounter. For that, there's Gry's WONDERFUL Starship Stats book.
It might be alright to include stats for specific fighters that have been modified beyond original specs, but Gry's book is quite thorough.
It would also be a good idea, I believe, to include stats for astromechs that are specifically mentioned in the books, if we can either obtain or agree upon them. I think it'd be nice to see how different pilots upgraded their droids, and what personality quirks they've allowed to develop... |

The pre-Endor Rogues are well covered in WEG's material. I think this book should be centered around the X-Wing books, focusing on the Rogue Squadron ones.
Maybe a few starships could be included, namely those relating to the story in those books. Maybe include Corran's CorSec X-Wing, Mirax's Pulsar Skate, the Lusankya, the Clutch ugly, these things...
And I agree about including droids such as Whistler, and what was the name of that protocol quartermaster?

| Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki wrote: | M-3PO (Emtrey)
M-3PO, also known as Emtrey, was a black military protocol droid of the 3PO series, that served in Rogue Squadron as its quartermaster.
Emtrey was cobbled together from parts of other protocol droids. Because of his improvised nature, he had a protocol droid's body, but had the head of a flight controller droid. Emtrey was built on Hoth by a Rebel lieutenant named Losca for the purpose of procuring goods. He had special programming to assist with that purpose: a 'scrounger mode' activated when hounded about acquiring parts.
Emtrey also had a strange program that disabled his normal personality and functions when told to shut up more than 3 times. This program essentially turned him into a 'dumb' terminal with access to Emtrey's memory banks. Both of these features were used by Rogue Squadron members during the time he served with them. After the New Republic took Coruscant for the first time, this terminal mode was disabled.
It was later revealed that the terminal mode was actually built into Emtrey by New Republic Intelligence in order to discover if then Captain Tycho Celchu had been successfully brain washed into an Imperial Agent. Emtrey was given this and other programming that made him into a very valuable tool for a spy, which would've exposed Celchu if he was a spy if Celchu used him in that manner. Emtrey was also able to provide proof that Celchu had not met with Imperial agents as Corran Horn accused him of doing. Horn's reappearance, followed by the betrayal of Imperial mole Erisi Dlarit made Celchu's innocence obvious.
After Celchu's trial, and the departure of Ysanne Isard for Thyferra, Rogue Squadron members resigned to topple the puppet regime she had set up on that planet. Emtrey, along with all the squadron's equipment and fighters was surplussed out by someone in the military as a way of giving back door support to the former members of Rogue Squadron. Emtrey was acquired by the former Rogues, and he served in a variety of capacities with them. He was later named liaison on board the Valiant, a droid ship that survived the destruction of Alderaan.
Once Isard was defeated, Emtrey returned to service with the New Republic. |

You did those stats based on my converted stats from the Droid Stats pdf, right? Looks about right.

Yep. Might as well stay consistent (sp?) with everything.

What about the gand fighters, or the 'deathseed's the Twiliks used..
And game info for things like;
contracting the Krytos virus
being victim to basteroncrosis
bacta (the flawed batch)...

I was able to look at the information about the fighter bay on the Far Star in the Darkstryder Campaign and have ordered my own copy because I found it instructive. The Classic-trilogy Incredible Cross-Sections has a tiny bit about TIE-launch bays.
Do we also want Wedge's R2, Mynock? |
