Star Wars_ Edge of the Empire Rule Book

Empire forcibly removed the established colony to
convert the system into a new naval shipyard. By
betraying promises made to the relocated colonists,
the Empire has turned the system into a rallying and
recruitment point for Rebel agents, as well as a legiti-
mate military target.

GRINNER'S INNER RIM RECOMMENDATIONS

These days, the Inner Rim may as well be code for

Imperial martial law. Not every planet has a re-

strictive Imperial presence, just most of the ones

you actually want to visit. It's not like the locals

want it that way; many wish the Empire would lay

off and mind its own business. The problem is, the

Empire makes everything its business.

Now, you'll start to see more variety in the wealth

and success of various worlds. Some are quite rich

and successful, while others barely scrape by or have

failed altogether. You'll also notice a lot less traffic

out here. There are still plenty of densely populated

planets, but they are much more spread out.

Let's run down the job list. First, I've got Denon,

the Inner Rim's answer to Coruscant. It's big, ur-

ban, and frankly, a bit boring. I can set you up with

most any standard shipping or smuggling run.

Next is something of a mercy mission. Ever since the

colonists were uprooted from Bestine by the Empire,

they've been trying to work out their next move. I've

got a few families who need a lift out to the Expansion

Region. Maybe they know something I don't, or more

likely someone I don't, but the Expansion Region just

isn't exactly looking for new workers these days. If

you take them, prepare a backup plan. They might

end up on your ship longer than you expect.

Last is Thyferra. How would you like to do some

bacta smuggling? Sure, bacta is legal, but if you

can avoid the Bacta Cartel, it's a whole lot more

profitable. If you get your hands on it, you can

offload it for a huge profit at most any out-of-the-

way planet or world under bacta embargo. Just

remember, those Thyferrians are a touchy bunch.

Be sure to be polite to your contact.

Bilbringi: Bilbringi holds a famous and well-defend-

ed orbital Imperial shipyard in an otherwise lifeless

star system.

Denon: Located on the Corellian Run, Denon is a

completely urbanized world. It resembles Coruscant,

but with much less power and prestige.

Hapes: Hapes gives its name to a cluster of stars and

an ancient world not far from the Perlemian Trade

Route. Isolated from surrounding space by gas and

ionized particles, Hapes is largely autonomous, stand-

ing apart from the Empire, as it did in the Republic.

See page 354 for more information.

Manaan: Manaan is the water-covered homeworld of

the aquatic Selkath species. Since the Old Republic,

Manaan has been the only known source of kolto, a

strong healing substance. In modern times, Manaan is

better known as a resort world. Now under Imperial

control, rumors whisper that the resort is actually a

cover for Imperial activity.

Myrkr: Myrkr is a highly obscure world. Those in the

know regard it as a smuggler's stopover or decent

world to hide from just about anybody. The trees have

a natural metal content that makes sensor scans dif-

ficult. Myrkr's greatest secret is that it is home to the

ysalamiri. Though virtually unknown to the galaxy, a

ysalamiri naturally repels the Force, completely defeat-

ing the Force abilities of Force sensitive individuals.

Onderon: Onderon is a planet covered in wild, le-

thal jungles. It has a single, huge, fortified settlement

called Iziz built to hold back the wild monsters. It also

has an ancient reputation for savagery and evil. One

of Onderon's moons, Dxun, holds the tomb of the an-

cient Sith Lord Freedon Nadd. Dxun actually passes

close enough to Onderon to form an atmospheric

bridge between the worlds at certain times.

Taanab: Taanab is an agricultural world and exporter

of foodstuffs. The planet is most famous for the re-

cently reported "Battle of Taanab," where Lando

Calrissian creatively defeated pirates who annually

raided the world.

Thyferra: Thyferra is the homeworld of the Vratix

species, the inventors of bacta. With the rise of the

Empire, two corporations called Xucphra and Zaltin

negotiated a deal with the Imperial government to

control virtually all of the galaxy's bacta. The human-

owned companies dominate the world government,

and are collectively known as the Bacta Cartel.

Yag'Dhul: Yag'Dhul is the bizarre homeworld of the

equally unusual Givin species. The planet's three moons

and complex orbit results in extreme tidal forces that

expose portions of the plant to hard vacuum. This gave

rise to the Civin's unique physiology to resist such con-

ditions, and their natural abilities as shipbuilders and

mathematicians. The system is at the intersection of

the Corellian Trade Spine and the Rimma Trade Route.
