MILITARY STARFIGHTER PILOT [MINION]

Starfighters are an essential component of any major
military installation. The small, fast ships can harry
much larger targets and support a vast array of fire-
power that can make them a threat even to capital-
scale vessels. The tactics of the Rebel Alliance, and
particularly their victory at the Battle of Yavin, has
demonstrated that starfighters can be a vital compo-
nent of any attack force. Starfighters may be tasked
with defending parent ships against enemy starfight-
ers, scouting and reconnaissance, or even heavy as-
saults on enemy ships or installations. However, the
pilots of these vessels almost always possess quick re-
flexes, talented piloting skills, and a foolhardy bravado.

PLANETARY DEFENSE FORCE

TROOPER [MINION]

There are very few planets that rely entirely on an out-

side agency for their protection. Most possess at least

a marginal military force of their own, dedicated to pro-

tecting the planet's most valuable or sacred sites. Plan-

etary defense troopers rarely have the most advanced

or most up-to-date equipment, often employing locally

produced weaponry and armor, but what they do have

is typically well made and serves its purpose.

Abilities: None.

Equipment: Blaster carbine (Ranged [Heavy]; Dam-

age 9; Critical 3; Range [Medium]; Stun setting), 2 frag

grenades (Ranged [Light]; Damage 8; Critical 4; Range

[Short]; Blast 6, Limited Ammo 1) blast vest (+1 soak),

PLANETARY GOVERNOR [NEMESIS]

In the eyes of the Empire, a planet is the smallest au-

tonomous body of note anywhere within the galaxy.

Cities and nations are of no real consequence to a

bureaucracy as large as the Empire, but a planet-wide

government can at least offer a significant quantity of

resources, some extremely valuable, to an extent that

makes a planet worthy of attention. For that reason,

planetary governors are at least a consideration even

to the officers of the Imperial Navy. They are given

due consideration and their independence is not trod

upon unless absolutely necessary. If planetary consid-

erations stand in the way of the Imperial agenda, how-

ever, they are swept aside without a thought; even the

most considerate of Imperial officers has his limits.

Skills (group only): Brawl, Discipline, Ranged (Light),

Ranged (Heavy).

ception 4, Knowledge (Education) 4, Leadership 3,

  range add • to all Discipline checks).
  Equipment: Light blaster pistol (Ranged [Light]; Dam-
  age 5; Critical 4; Range [Medium]; Stun setting).

SECTOR RANGER [RIVAL]

There are a great number of similarities among the

majority of law enforcement personnel, but few are

cut from the same mold as the Sector Rangers. These

individuals are authorized by the Empire, through the

local sector government, to seek out any and all viola-

tions of law in an entire sector of the galaxy. In many

ways, sector rangers are the opposite of smugglers;

fiercely independent and possessed of a tremendous

degree of autonomy and ingenuity. But instead of self-

ish desires for wealth, they possess a strong desire to
