Star Wars/ Yavin and Bespin Planet Profiles/ Galaxy Guide 2/ RPG/ West End Game

Description: Of all the wondrous worlds visited in the Star Wars movies, two of the most memorable are Yavin and Bespin. This new volume in our Galaxy Guide series for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game examines these planets and their systems in order to provide information for gamemasters, players, and the legions of Star Wars fans everywhere. Yavin is the planetary system first introduced in Star Wars IV: A New Hope. The fourth moon of this planet served as a secret base for the Rebel Alliance. It was to this lush, tropical moon that Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia carried the stolen plans for the Death Star battle station. It was in this out-of-the-way system that the Rebels staged the impromptu Battle of Yavin when the Death Star unexpectedly arrived. The Rebels abandoned the system shortly after the conclusion of the battle. The Alliance cells evacuated and relocated several times during the ensuing three years as they tried to avoid detection by and confrontation with the Imperial armada organized to hunt and destroy them. But they left behind a rich area for building other stories and adventures. Bespin is the planet visited by Han Solo and Princess Leia in The Empire Strikes Back. This gas giant features legendary Cloud City, floating high within the planet's atmosphere. It was here that Solo took his prized ship Millennium Falcon for repairs, hoping his old friend Lando Calrissian would be able to help him. But the Empire arrived first, setting a trap for the heroes. Cloud City and Bespin, home to Tibanna gas mining, luxurious gambling parlors and Ugnaught laborers, is a bright stopping point in an otherwise dismal portion of the galaxy. Governed by Lando Calrissian and protected by the Bespin Guard, this city in the clouds is truly one of the wonders of the galaxy. However, Han and Leia found that this cloud had a black lining hiding just out of sight - Darth Vader and the Empire. But that is the future. This edition of the Galaxy Guide series explores these very different worlds as they exist after the destruction of the first Death Star - during that three year period between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back movies. We'll examine the wildlife, the environments, and the natives that inhabit these similar, yet vastly different worlds. We'll take a look at other parts of the respective star systems, and view any special operations currently being conducted by Alliance, Empire, or independent agencies. We'll meet those characters that typify the inhabitants and visitors to the systems, giving their templates so they can be dropped into a game session quickly and easily. And we'll take a look at some sites of interest, and provide a number of adventure ideas for ambitious gamemasters to develop. Come with us to the ringed moons of Yavin, to the billowing clouds of Bespin. There are new races to meet, new worlds to explore, new dangers to face, and new challenges to confront. Now, let's start our tour ...
