BACKGROUND
🛈 Your background reflects who your Jump identity was before you began training to be your chosen class.
Backgrounds are not technically part of your Origin; they are primarily for flavor and provide only a minor
benefit specific to this Jump. Unless noted, Disreputable Backgrounds provide the same features as their
reputable counterpart. You may freely create your own background history (and bonuses) as long as those
bonuses are sensible and comparable to the examples below.
NORMAL DISREPUTABLE1
Drop-In Refugee
You have no in-setting memories or identity beyond the bare You fled some disaster into
minimum of language and paperwork required to blend in. As an Republic or Empire space without
outsider, you may act as though you were either faction for your any documentation—or history—
starting location and when selecting equipment 2 and skills, and to your name. You are stateless and
may freely select any ship, as described in that section. often unwelcome.
4
BASIC POSSESSIONS
Your new identity owns basic possessions appropriate to someone of your Background and Class, such as
clothes, luggage, and so forth. You may choose the possessions in question, provided their value does not
exceed 10% of your starting wealth. These items are not Fiat-backed, may not include specialized equipment,
and do not count as part of (or against) that wealth.
Drop-Ins excepted, your background history includes some justification for all your new items and wealth (or
lack thereof). If you took the Beggar background and then sank 200 IP into Credits (pg 16), you may have
been the last distant heir to a noble house. A Freed Slave with similar wealth might have found an ancient
treasure trove during their escape. A Noble Scion with no money to speak of would be a Diminished Noble,
perhaps because they were disinherited, or their entire family lost their fortune.
A fully-enfranchised noble would have a starting wealth of at least half a billion credits ( 500 000 000) from
purchased and imported wealth. An heir on an allowance, without access to their full fortune, would still have
access to between 5 and 50 million credits. Below that, you're a 'Diminished Noble' (see above), but your
peers still respect you unless you're a Black Sheep.
5
PERKS
DISCOUNT RULES
Discounted perks cost half as much for their matching class, and one (and only one) [100 CP] Class Perk is
free. If you want both [100 CP] perks, you may buy the other for [50 CP] (i.e., at the normal 50% discount).
GENERAL
Adventure Ready [Free]
You're all set to explore the Galaxy! You're fluent in Galactic Basic and Bocce, and can understand Huttese,
Shyriiwook, and Droid Binary. You're Familiar with how to pilot and maintain all vehicles and ships you've
purchased with CP this Jump.
Mutually exclusive with all Force Power options (but not Unlimited Potential).
6
Crossing Lines [400 CP] (Discount: Bounty Hunter, Smuggler)
In a place as starkly divided as the current galaxy, it can be hard to find inroads into the opposing side's
camp. Not so for you. Maybe the Republic knows you as an honorable sort despite your Imperial loyalties,
or the Empire considers you useful enough to ignore your Republic association; either way, you're not
limited to one side of the fence. Wherever you go, you'll find yourself tolerated or even welcomed by those
opposed to you and yours. Even if you've fought them in the past, they'll be more likely to forgive it as
'nothing personal', and if that fails, they'll be uncommonly willing to hear you out before (or while) fighting
you, giving you a chance to try and work your way back into their good graces. Only specific, dire grudges
will override your general charm and favorable first impressions when it comes to making peace.
In future Jumps, you'll be tolerated by all parties and factions of any universe you visit, unless you do
something to destroy your good standing. Those with categorical biases against your race, gender,
species, profession, and so on will find themselves thinking you're 'one of the good ones', and those
engaged in conflict won't take your opposition personally. In other words, regardless of your origins, you'll
start neutral or above with all befriendable factions in any future Jump.
Your support staff includes intelligence analysts, cryptographers, military theorists, doctors, engineers,
trackers, criminologists, scientists, historians, mathematicians, linguists, and members of any academic
fields specific to the setting (such as mages in a setting with magical universities). Staff members follow
you from world to world, have the knowledge someone of their vocation would be expected to have about
any world you visit, and are able to remotely view you and your surroundings. Relevant members of your
staff are suitably placed within any hierarchy you belong to, potentially allowing you to go over the heads
of your immediate superiors—provided you're willing to deal with the resulting political fallout and/or
personal enmity.
For material aid, you can call in supply drops every 6 hours, which may include any commonly available
equipment in the setting, or any items from your Warehouse (respecting limits imposed by Drawbacks).
Supply drops also Restock all applicable items (see pg 15). You can also call in a platoon of 12 generic,
interchangeable soldiers any time you need help. It takes 24 hours to restore wounded-but-evacuated
soldiers and 72 hours to replace dead soldiers.
By default, your soldiers use equipment common to your faction this Jump. You may give other weapons,
armor, or other equipment to your soldiers, and they will bring that equipment when deployed. If you
spend time training the platoon, all future soldiers benefit from that training.
7
THE FORCE
Force Power [Variable]
All your Force abilities, powers, and techniques will behave as though you are in a setting with the
metaphysics required for it. Jedi and Sith must purchase a rank of Force Power. Choose at most 1:
Your strength alone makes you stand out like a Force Anomaly (pg 36); take that Drawback for no CP.
You must have at least some level of Force power from another source to make use of this perk, whether
from a Force Power purchase, Delayed Gratification, or another Jump entirely.
8
JEDI & SITH THE ADEPT
Basic Force Training [100] (Requires Force Power)
You've been trained to sense the Force, feel its guidance and use its power. You have Familiarity with all
Force Disciplines (pg 51), giving you a grasp of basic applications such as recognizing and responding to
danger, pushing and pulling objects, sensing the mood of those around you, and judging the ambient
energies that may linger in places of significance. Your attunement to the Force also grants you better
reflexes and a keen intuition, as well as an intuitive feeling for the next step you need to take to pursue
your goals, even if the path ahead is unclear.
You also gain all the necessary knowledge to create new lightsabers and customize them to your exact
specifications. If you focus on an individual while crafting a lightsaber, you will create a saber fitted to the
hands and preferences of the intended wielder; the stronger the personal connection between you, the
better the fit, with your closest friends receiving a weapon that is perfect for their use. You can work out
the construction of unusual light-weapons, such as the light-whip, with only a bit of effort.
In addition to the outright immunity granted by this perk, you also gain skills for managing your emotions.
These skills are extremely effective, can be taught to others, and remain even if other effects (like
Drawbacks) remove non-skill perks or otherwise limit the effectiveness of absolute protections.
9
Master-Apprentice Affinity [300 CP]
You are uniquely suited to all possible variants of the Master-and-Apprentice system, such as those used
by the Jedi and Sith Orders, regardless of which you are. You start with a +50% bonus, and the longer you
spend apprenticed to the same Master, or training the same apprentice, the faster the training goes. You
gain +25% speed each month, or about 0.55% per day.
If you are the student, your cumulative bonus will not reset unless you choose to begin applying the
effects of this perk to another Master. If you are teaching, you may apply this effect to any number of
students; time counts towards the bonus separately for each student, and the cumulative bonus will only
reset if you choose to 'drop' a student by excluding them from the effect. However, each student you have
halves the rate at which the bonus accumulates for all other students.
Purchasing Skill Levels in a Discipline in this way reduces the base price of its corresponding Force Training
Holocrons (pg 26) by 50 CP per Level, to a minimum of [50 CP] before Discounts.
These abilities extend to other power you have or later acquire. You are able to mix normally incompatible
or mutually exclusive powers or sources of powers without adverse effects, and are resistant to corrupting
and/or addictive effects of any technique that might stray into the 'dark arts', so long as the power source
is not inherently corrupting or addicting itself. The corruption protection against techniques for other
power sources is not absolute, but the resistance is enough to keep you mentally and spiritually safe so
long as you refrain from diving off the slippery slope entirely.
10
TROOPER & BOUNTY HUNTER THE HEAVY
Loaded For Bear [100 CP]
When the going gets tough, the tough bring more guns. Not only are you Proficient in all equipment
discounted to the Trooper and Bounty Hunter classes, you also have the talent of storing an extraordinary
amount of firepower on your person. When packing, you can fit twice as many weapons, and four times as
much ammo and other military supplies like rations, medical kits, and explosives, in the same amount of
space, and anyone carrying them treats those weapons and supplies as though they weigh only half or a
quarter their actual weight, respectively.
Speaking of supplies, you're able to stretch whatever you have on hand farther
than should be possible. When applying any form of aid or healing, you
consume only one quarter as much of any limited resource for the same
amount of benefit, whether it be practical items like gauze and antiseptic,
magical items like healing potions, or metaphysical resources like 'mana'.
You also have unyielding stamina so long as you are on the hunt. Whether you are chasing, stalking,
pursuing, or waiting in ambush for your target, you can ignore all physical and psychological needs for up
to seven days with no ill effects. Once the hunt ends, you need up to a full day of extra rest and rations to
recover from the ordeal, but by that point your target should be captured or dead.
11
My Kit Don't Quit [200 CP]
Normal soldiers have to worry about running out of bullets. You don't. As long as you packed at least one
of any given expendable weapon or weapon-related item, you can always pull another one out of your
pocket, given time. Larger, rarer, and more expensive items take longer to replenish, and you have an
innate sense of how often you can freely use any valid item in your possession. Regardless, you always
have another eventually, so there's no need to worry about using your last thermal detonator. Never run
out of cartridges, shells, stripper clips, ammo magazines, weapon power packs, flamer fuel, marbles,
grenades, rockets, mines, satchel charges, hornets, sling-stones, throwing knives, darts, javelins, arrows,
cannonballs, whetstones, weapon resins, Onmyo talismans, shuriken, bolas, harpoons, or any other type
of expendable offensive resource ever again!
Perhaps the more important part of this perk is that you now share the wealth of your plot armor. A
portion of the defenses you gain from luck and probability modifying perks extends to all teammates near
you, making them that much more likely to come through in one piece. Bonuses you have to resisting fear,
panic, and similar mental afflictions apply to those allies as well. Viva la aurabot!
Your skill with armor is similarly improved, as is its ability to protect you. All penalties caused by armor,
such as to mobility and stealth, are reduced by 90%. Attacks that would normally penetrate your armor
and harm you instead cause your armor to ablate and leave only shallow cuts on your person. In other
words, your armor redirects damage that would otherwise reach you to itself, letting only scratch damage
through, up to the amount of damage required to physically destroy the armor beyond repair.
Furthermore, once per Jump (or per 10 years in longer Jumps), a single attack that would otherwise result
in your death or another Jump-failure condition (such as the death of a VIP or the destruction of an
essential object) will fail utterly, provided you are close enough to witness it. You will be aware when this
happens, and in longer Jumps know roughly how long you have before it can activate again.
12
SMUGGLER & AGENT THE INTERLOPER
Habitual Intruder [100 CP]
You have a habit and talent for getting into places, files, and situations you're not wanted. You're an Expert
slicer, opening locked doors with ease and extracting sensitive files from heavily-encrypted computers
without leaving a trace, provided you can secure hardware access. That access is easier than ever, as well,
given your knack for finding convenient shortcuts through vents, waste chutes, and unused spaces, or
targeting the human element and conning your way past unsuspecting security officers; you're a
Proficient liar, mechanic, and saboteur. As a final bonus, you're more likely than normal to arrive just in
time to hear, see, or interfere with things your enemies would have preferred you missed.
You've also been around long enough to know that sometimes, things don't go smooth. If all else fails,
you're an Expert with Vibroknives and holdout weapons. You're also Proficient with all non-weapon
equipment you bought with CP this Jump, regardless of whether it was discounted or not.
Lastly, you know a number of techniques for silently removing unwary foes, non-lethally or... otherwise, in
the event that you can't simply ghost in and out of your target area. You are Proficient with all weapons
discounted to the Smuggler and Agent classes, and have the reaction times, nerves, and grit to be what
happens to the other guy, even in a stand-up fight.
This odd quirk of fortune gets stronger when you're the one in need, scaling with the severity of your need.
When you're desperate for a favor, this perk works overtime to arrange things so that they just happen to
have a problem in need of a solution you're ready to fill. If they need information, you probably have it, and
if they need to outrun someone, you've got the fastest ship in the sector. It's still probability manipulation,
so it will only ever bend chance so far, but at least you'll get in the door.
On the flip side, you have a knack for learning things people would rather you not know, able to track down
information even with the barest thread of evidence to follow. You're an Expert investigator and
interrogator; you know just the right threads to pull to get to the truth, and can do so either flagrantly, or
so subtly your mark may never realize what they've given away. You're also Proficient at torture.
13
Disposable Identities [200 CP]
You're an Expert of both disguise and forgery. With enough care and attention to detail, you can forge an
identity suitable for any situation, complete with history and documents, and be confident that you'll be
long gone by the time the cracks start to show. Once prepared, you're able to flawlessly immerse yourself
in your cover identity to the point that mind readers would need invasive techniques to dig past the
adopted personality. This talent for disguise extends to whether or not you draw attention to yourself
passively; you can blend into a crowd just as easily as you can stand out. You also receive a bonus to all
social actions that involve convincing someone of your identity, be it fake or real, even if you don't have
your forged (or legitimate) papers on you, or the identity in question prepared at all.
This perk isn't just about offense, either: your awareness lets you
make the most of any cover available to you, dodge the aim of those
without the speed to keep up, and never flinch from a shot that
wouldn't hit you. In short, you have the skills, luck, reflexes, and
chutzpah to pull off action-hero moves, while looking damn cool to
anyone you let catch you in the act.
As a bonus, you're guaranteed at least one chance to parley with any foe, no matter how ridiculous the
situation. Only the opportunity is guaranteed; it is still up to you to find a method of communication they
understand and an argument they will respect. A horde of ravenous space locusts will actually stop and
listen to your speech about sustainable agriculture... before promptly ignoring it and trying to eat your
planet. At least you can say you tried.
14
ITEMS
It's shopping time. Take 500 Item Points (IP) to spend on this section only. 1 Items are of your factions 'make'
unless your background grants other options.
DISCOUNT RULES
Unless otherwise stated, [50 IP] items (including [50 IP] options on items
with multiple versions) are free if discounted. Exceptions are marked
'Discount Only' if they still cost 25, or 'Free/Discount' if they are free despite
costing more than 50. Discounted add-ons and optional purchases are
always 50% off. You may buy an item multiple times, but must pay a
minimum of 25 IP (after Discount) for those copies; items under the same
heading (e.g. Blaster Pistols) are considered the same item for this rule.
OTHER RULES
Insurance
All CP-bought2 items are 'Insured'. If lost or destroyed, you may retrieve a
replacement from your Warehouse; if you do not have a Warehouse, you
may have it delivered to you in some other fashion appropriate to the
current Jump. Replacement items are provided 'as-bought' unless
otherwise specified. Items can be replaced once per day unless otherwise
specified.
Restocking
Restocking items are refilled whenever you 'return from the field',
whether it's to your home city, base of operations, secret lair, military
outpost, or other fixed in-Jump staging and resupply point. If you could
reasonably replenish setting-appropriate gear at some safe location,
your items will be refilled automatically. Yes, this means resting at a
medieval castle replenishes your supply of EMP grenades. Restocking
abandoned knives, discarded ammo packs, undetonated explosives, and
so on causes those items to vanish from the world when no one is
looking. All ammo and explosives purchased this Jump with CP or
included with CP purchases 'Restock', even if not explicitly stated.
Item Imports
The Weapons, Armor, and Vehicles sections offer the ability to import
similar items you already own as (or 'into') the items you buy this Jump.
See the individual sections for restrictions, or check the import table on
page 60. Importing an item adds all esoteric properties it may have to the
item it is imported into. The final item retains its previous form or forms
as alt-forms. Imports are one to one unless otherwise specified.
See APPENDIX E: NOTES AND DETAILS …ON ITEMS (pg 60) for additional rules
and clarifications regarding Item Imports.
1 Anything you can buy with IP may be bought with CP, or with any combination of CP and IP.
2 See Appendix A: Terminology (pg 50).
15
RESOURCES
Credits [Free/25/50 IP]
Cold, hard cash. You start with 50 000; [25 IP] triples your wealth, while [50 IP] multiplies it by 10. If you
purchase more than one million credits, you may choose to start with a portion of that wealth invested in
properties, companies, or other revenue streams. A single credit is worth approximately $3 USD.
Purchase includes a rock for every type and color of crystal available in the setting, including synthetic
crystals such as the red Force-crystals favored by the Sith. The crystals are always properly attuned to
whoever harvests them, regardless of color, and will regrow within a day.
The Board contains as much information as a job posting would. If the 'Quest Giver' has a reward in mind,
it is indicated on the listing; if they do not have a reward in mind but would find something to reward you
with anyway, it is shown as an unknown item: " Quest Reward: ??? Item". The Board also indicates if a
listed job would cause a change in your standing with other individuals or organizations, and if you are in a
world that tracks Experience Points or have a perk that applies such a system, those are listed as well.
The items rewarded by the quests do not include features specific to CP-bought versions of those items.
Treat them as normal items acquired from the Jump, with the extra feature of Insurance if you paid the
higher price for the Board. You may choose whether the items follow the insurance rules of their source
document or this document, but you must do so only once for all future Jumps.
16
WEAPONS
🛈 Weapons and explosives purchased from this document never break, malfunction, or fail except as a direct
result of enemy action.
🛈 All weapons come with an appropriate carrying mechanism, such as a sheath for Virbroweapons, your
choice of shoulder, hip, ankle, or other holster(s) for pistols and scatterblasters, or carrying straps for rifles
and repeaters.
🛈 See APPENDIX D: WEAPON STAT BLOCKS (pg 55) for detailed comparisons of various weapons.
🛈 You may import a similar weapon you already own into any weapon purchased here, adding any properties
it may have to your new item:
The primary qualities for determining if a weapon is sufficiently 'similar' are type (melee versus ranged) and
size (volume and weight). Melee weapon imports don't distinguish between sub-types like swords, maces,
and so on; similarly, ranged weapons will accept imports from firearms, bows, and crossbows, as well as
wands from settings where they are weapons rather than casting focuses. Guidelines for size can be found in
the import table (pg 60).
You may treat a set of paired weapons (such as twin sabers or dual pistols) as a single item for the purpose of
weapon imports. If you import a single weapon into a set of paired weapons, the import is linked to the main-
hand weapon: when wielded together, both weapons have all import properties, but if the weapons are
separated, only the main-hand weapon retains those properties. If you treat the paired weapons as separate
items and import a different weapon into each, the imports behave normally.
Weapon 'attachments' such as the Ion Blaster Attachment and Rocket mount point can accept imports, but if
left blank, take on the properties of the weapon they are attached to. You cannot import weapons you cannot
carry and fire yourself into man-portable weapons. You cannot import items into individual explosives such as
Grenades, Rockets, or Mines.
17
MELEE
Vibroknife [50-100 IP] (Discount: Smuggler, Agent)
These pocket-sized vibroweapons are perfect for slicing fruit, whittling, sabotage, knife fighting, and even
balanced for throwing if you're willing to track them down afterwards (or have a perk to handle that).
You may add a matching off-hand sword, or upgrade to a two-handed Vibrosword or double-Vibroblade,
for another [50 IP].
The color of the lightsaber depends on the nature of the Force-sensitive crystal
used to focus the blade. Dark-side aligned crystals are almost
exclusively red, while Light-side crystals tend to be blue, green, or
yellow; you may ignore these restrictions if you wish. The
focusing crystal allows a lightsaber to function as a small
Force Focus for the Adept wielding it.
18
RANGED
Blaster Pistols [50-150 IP] (Discount: Smuggler, Agent)
The sidearm of mercenaries, gangsters, hunters, smugglers, and police forces the galaxy over, available in
a variety of options fit for every wallet. Includes 2 power packs per pistol, plus your choice of holster(s).
For an additional [50 IP], you may upgrade either of the above blasters to a set of two matching blasters.
19
Blaster Rifles [100-300 IP] (Discount: Trooper, Bounty Hunter, Smuggler, Agent)
The mainstay for anyone who wants someone dead from a nice, relatively safe distance. Troopers and
Bounty Hunters may choose to receive a [100 IP] Rifle for free if they do not purchase a Repeater.
20
Repeaters [100-200 IP] (Discount: Trooper, Bounty Hunter)
While all automatic blasters are technically 'repeating blasters', Repeaters refer to machine-gun-like
weapons designed to put as much firepower downrange as possible, as fast as possible.
If you buy both a blaster cannon and a repeating blaster, you may choose to include the repeater as a fire
mode on the cannon, which saves you some weight and allows both weapons to benefit from the same
item import. The fire modes have independent ammo supplies that are reloaded separately.
21
INCENDIARIES, EXPLOSIVES, AND AMMUNITION
Flamethrower [100 IP] (Discount: Bounty Hunter)
Favored among Bounty Hunters for both their mechanical simplicity and the terror they inspire,
flamethrowers are little more than a tube leading from a heavy, pressurized fuel canister to a nozzle with
an ignition system, typically on one's gauntlet. While extremely dangerous, the wide jet of flame reaches
only a few meters. The rate of fuel consumption can be dialed up or down to affect a larger or smaller
area; a single canister can last as much as 6 minutes or as little as 40 seconds. Includes 2 fuel canisters.
For the same cost, you may buy Micro-Missiles instead, which are ¼ as powerful as normal rockets, but
come in 4x the quantity and can be loaded 4 at a time into the matching mount.
22
GRENADES TYPES
Thermal Detonators x3: High explosive hand grenades. As befits their name,
thermal detonators cause a massive fireball. Notable in their role as anti-
personnel grenades for producing no shrapnel, making for a well-defined 6
m blast radius. Absolutely lethal to
unarmored targets within 3 m.
Ion Grenade x3: These grenades function similarly to EMP devices, shorting out electronic
devices such as droids, turrets, and shield generators. The burst generated by the grenade is strong
enough to overcome the hardening present on most military equipment, although heavy vehicles are
tough nuts to crack. Ion bursts won't harm organic targets, although cyborgs will suffer greatly. 3 m blast
radius.
Flash Bomb x3: These grenades let out a blinding flash and deafening noise on detonation. Flash bombs are
less disabling (and dangerous) than Concussion Grenades to most organics, but can overwhelm the
targeting sensors on many automated weapon systems, making them a good compromise between
Concussion and Ion Grenades if facing mixed or unknown threats. Blinding and deafening within 4 m,
beyond which effectiveness rapidly decreases.
CryoBan Grenades x3: Another less-lethal grenade, these devices spray super-pressurized gas to flash-
freeze everything within 3 m. The sudden frost will injure and immobilize biological targets and damage
equipment not hardened against extremely low temperatures.
Flame Grenades x3: The opposite of the CryoBan, these grenades spray a vigorously-burning fuel mixture in a
4 m radius, setting everything near them on fire. The fuel contains its own oxidant and will burn
underwater or in the vacuum of space without issue.
Fragmentation Grenades x5: Another anti-personnel grenade, a smaller and cheaper alternative to the
thermal detonator. Unlike thermal detonators, Frag Grenades rely on random sprays of shrapnel for their
lethality, and thus can injure or kill unarmored targets up to 10 m away while leaving those only 3 m away
merely singed. The explosion itself is enough to cause serious injury or death within 2 m.
Gas Grenades x3: An extremely versatile delivery system, but with an effectiveness dependent on the
target's biology and the space into which the gas disperses. A single grenade can saturate a room with a
volume of 200 m3 over about 30 seconds. Choose either lethal or less-lethal gas at the time of purchase;
you may specify the type of gas (irritant, sedative, toxin, corrosive), or even the exact chemical.
Smoke Grenade x5: Smokers serve to mark locations or obscure lines of sight. The least likely of any grenade
to directly kill someone, although you could beat someone to death with one, if you really had to. You may
choose the colors of your smoke grenades whenever you Restock them.
23
ARMOR
🛈 You may import a set of clothes or armor you already own to add its features to your new gear.
The external tank can be replaced by the operator without compromising the suit's seal. Replacing an
empty tank adds 60 minutes of operational time. This purchase includes the tank installed on the suit and
two spares; you may purchase a magically infinite tank for [50 IP] if you really think you'll need it.
24
EQUIPMENT
Communicator [Free/50 IP]
You receive a standard comlink 'wand' and hand-held holo-pad for free, although they have no special
properties beyond those afforded to all Jump-given items. For [50 IP], they're upgraded to proper Jumper-
grade gear: you will always have them on you, your communications can never be traced or intercepted,
and the device gains extreme resistance to both wide-area jamming and physical harm.
25
Field Repair Kit [50 IP]
A small toolbox that contains any tools necessary to repair or service any equipment you encounter, as
long as you have the knowledge of how to do so. Has a limitless supply of nuts, bolts, wires of various
gauges, hydraulic and pneumatic tubing, tension cables, solder, and other 'bits and bobs' for all your
maintenance needs. Cannot provide items that do not fit through the lid of the box.
You may place any restriction you can name on who can access your holocrons, and those restrictions will
be enforced by Jump Fiat. You may 'update' an already-created holocron to use your new current set of
training perks, or modify the restrictions you've placed on it, by bringing it back to the crafting station and
meditating with it for 1 hour, modified by teaching perks.
Your holocrons may include any subject that can reasonably be described as being 'taught', even if it is not
necessarily a 'skill' per se, such as philosophy. You may combine any number of lessons into the same
holocron, and choose the exact manner (order, relative emphasis, and so forth) in which they are taught.
26
VEHICLES
🛈 Vehicles may be replaced only once every 7 days (for speeders) or 30 days (for space vehicles). You may
import an existing land vehicle into a speeder, and/or an existing flying vehicle into a shuttle or starfighter.
Speeder [Free]
Your choice of:
• A single-seat speederbike. Additional passengers strongly discouraged. Includes 1 free Upgrade.
• A landspeeder with 4 seats and an astromech droid socket. Similar performance to the speederbike,
but larger, slightly slower and less responsive, and does not include a free Upgrade.
27
SHIPS
Don't worry, you won't have to rely on hitchhiking or public transports. You get your own ship, free of charge,
and 400 Ship Points (SP)1 to be spent on this section only. Your ship(s) will be automatically stowed and
carried between Jumps; if your ship is damaged or destroyed, it will be repaired or replaced at that time. You
may import a comparably-sized vessel you already own to be your ship.
Take the ship corresponding to your class for [Free], or pay [50 SP] to take either other ship of your faction.
Drop-Ins may pick freely. You may purchase additional ships of either faction for [100 SP] each.

28
GENERAL
Standard Accommodations [Free]
The bare necessities of living and working in space. Your ship includes living and eating space, bathrooms,
cleaning and laundry equipment, a simple kitchen, a workspace to repair and maintain equipment, and
other basic conveniences. The exact layout of these rooms is up to you. The various chores associated
with keeping your ship clean are fully automated, by your choice of either small sweeper droids or Fiat
magic. All ships have a full set of military-grade sensors plus scanning and surveying equipment, as well
as Basic Weapons, a First-Aid Station, and a Communications Suite, as described in their sections.
Your ship also comes with 500 m3 of configurable free space to be partitioned into cargo holds or sleeping
quarters as you see fit. In the case of sleeping quarters, the included furnishings will scale with the size
and resulting 'niceness' of the space. As a general guide:
Military Bunks like you'd find on a submarine can fit 2 people and their footlockers per 5 m3.
Cramped Quarters provide some level of privacy and fill 20 m3 per single room or 30 m3 for a double.
Comfortable Quarters take up 60 m3, and can fit a desk, chair, and shelving with room to pace.
Luxurious Quarters take up 120 m3 to include extra space and a private bathroom.
29
WEAPONS
Basic Weapons [Free]
All ships come with a set of standard weapons. Basic Laser Turrets are suitable for repelling small attack
craft, but unlikely to crack the shields of larger targets. Homing Missiles are designed to track and destroy
small fighter craft, are capable of stripping hard-points off larger ships in a pinch, and the rack can target
and launch up to 4 missiles at different targets simultaneously. A Torpedo Tube launches a large, slow,
shield-breaching missile capable of dealing heavy damage to even the toughest ships in the setting with a
shot to a vulnerable area. Both the Rack of Homing Missiles and Torpedo Tube have an internal magazine
that will never run dry, though the Torpedo Tube takes a while to ready another shot.
If you really want to be a capital-ship killer, you can upgrade the lasers to Turbolaser Batteries for another
[150 SP]. It should be impossible to fit Turbolasers on a ship the size of a small yacht, but there they are.
DEFENSES
Reinforced Hull [50 SP] (Free: Thunderclap, D5-Mantis)
Thicker armor stops more firepower before it can reach critical systems, while additional reinforcements
to the hull allow the ship to keep flying even if half of it has been stripped to the bone. This doesn't just
make your ship tough, it guarantees full functionality down to the very last hit point. Also includes heavy
emergency bulkheads to protect the crew who aren't on fire.
MEDICAL
First-Aid Station [Free]
A room dedicated to treating simple injuries, such as burns, cuts,
scrapes, and sprains. Also provides limited options for treating more
serious injuries such as blaster wounds and broken bones.
30
CARGO
Additional Internal Space [25 SP]
250 m3 of extra space, which may be partitioned for cargo and sleeping quarters as described in Standard
Accommodations. This option may be purchased up to 6 times.
UTILITY
Communications Suite [Free/50 SP]
A full communications suite for secure, long-range chatter. While the Free version is already encrypted to
the best standards the setting's tech can offer, the 50 SP version is perfectly secure, immune to all forms
of jamming, and can never be intercepted, traced, or otherwise compromised.
You will always have the device on you; it cannot be lost or stolen. The ship is
vulnerable during its automated flight, but you will be warned by your device if
summoning or dismissing the ship would put it in danger. Once safely 'stowed',
your ship is perfectly protected and will never be found. How long it takes to
arrive depends on how far away it would reasonably have to be to remain
undetected by troublesome parties.
31
Advanced Navigation System [50 SP]
A computer system that contains perfect charts for navigation, no matter where you are. You'll always be
able to find your way, and will never have to worry about accidents during FTL maneuvers, as long as you
don't manually override the system. The system is also able to perform maneuvers that most pilots would
consider ludicrously risky, such as jumping near gravity wells or into or out of other navigational hazards,
with the same 100% success rate.
How long you can stay stealthy depends on how much heat your ship is generating: on minimum power
with no occupants, the reservoir can store 72 hours of heat. The body heat and life support requirements
of a single passenger will cut that time by a full third, and active maneuvering will fill the reservoir within
an hour. Weapons and shields generate too much heat to capture. Venting stored heat takes up to 90
seconds for a full reservoir and makes your ship glow so brightly to infrared sensors that other captains
would be forgiven for worrying that you're about to explode.
Cloaking puts considerable strain on the Adegan crystal at the heart of the device. In peak condition, the
cloak can run for 15 minutes every hour without harm. Exceeding this limit damages the crystal, which
fails entirely after an additional 15 minutes of use. Damaged crystals have a linearly lower safe operating
time; at 50% integrity, the device would only have a 7½ minute operating time before beginning to damage
the crystal further. As a CP purchase, a damaged crystal 'heals' over time; it takes 12 hours for the crystal
to fully recover after being reduced to 0% integrity.
A ship with Low-Profile Hull will put less strain on the device, as its reduced reflectivity lowers the
amount of energy the field needs to divert; such a ship will be capable of remaining cloaked for twice as
long as a ship without the hull modification. If the ship has a Thermal Reservoir, the time it can remain
cloaked is doubled again, but using the two in conjunction will fill the Reservoir. The device always requires
45 minutes of 'rest' per 100% of its nominal duration to prevent damage to the crystal.
32
COMPANIONS
There is no charge for recruiting new companions you meet in the setting, but you must do so on your own
merits, without any supernatural compulsions or charm. Non-coercive aspects of social Perks still apply. If
you wish, you may pay [50 CP] per canon character to arrive in a version of the universe where the
character(s) are highly amenable to recruitment, though you can still flub it if you really mess up. If you have
open import slots, you may grant them to your newly recruited companion(s), and they will be able to spend
the points at the end of the Jump as though importing as the class which best reflects their current self.
🛈 You may forgo all Guest Passes options and awarded upgrades (including the baseline Free option) if you
really want to keep your companions from importing into the setting for some reason.
Companions may not purchase other companions; however, you may purchase multiple Astromech Droids
and assign them as you see fit, or your companions may purchase the Item version of the Astromech
Droid (pg 26). Note that you (or another non-droid companion of your choice) will be considered the Droid's
owner for the duration of the Jump, which may affect the 'willing' qualifier when importing companions
you already have. Droids start with their owner at that person's starting location.
33
Binary Cant [+0]
As an astromech droid, you lack the hardware and programming to speak in anything but bleeps and
whistles. Most people who interact with droids on a regular basis are able to understand you, but you
may find yourself needing a protocol droid to translate for the less worldly. On the flip side, your
programming includes the ability to understand every extant language in the Galaxy, and even includes
information on many languages of purely archaeological interest.
When not in droid form, you may summon equivalent tools to hand at-will.
This perk attracts misfortune that would have otherwise hit the bearer's allies, but
does not make the bearer more likely to suffer otherwise. The effects of any
misfortune it does attract are guaranteed to be more light-hearted than
normal, as well. Can be toggled on and off at will post-Jump.
34
DRAWBACKS
You may earn up to 1200 CP from Drawbacks; Companions may earn up to 600 CP. You may take 1 Drawback
that normally awards CP for IP, and 1 for SP, at 150% of their values; such Drawbacks count against your
Drawback Limit at their new Point value. Drawbacks expire at the end of the Jump.
Only one person may take this toggle for each of the 8 canon player characters. Your class, background,
and starting location are determined by the character, but you may spend points without limitations. You
may not take drawbacks that conflict with the plot (such as Disreputable Background for the Knight), or
that are redundant with said plot (such as Back to School for the Inquisitor). You may not take Expanded
Universe's Full Divergence. All other Drawbacks are fair game.
Convergent History
Somehow, events between your previous adventure and now have managed to arrive at approximately
the same situation, even if the path to reach that point was wildly different. If necessary, the in-universe
time gap between that Jump and this one may have changed, but the same characters will appear.
Full Divergence
History will have continued to diverge from the point of your interference, and may well create a Galaxy
that is wildly different from the one in which The Old Republic takes place. The Galaxy will still be
recognizable, but the actual plot may not be. Incompatible with It's Up To You.
35
Gone Native [+100]
Your out of jump memories are weakened to the point that they barely feel like your own, and don't affect
you anywhere near as much as those of your current Jump self. While you still remember everything you
would normally, you are far more 'immersed' in this Jump's personality than normal, and your 'First
Reaction's—your gut feelings, knee-jerk reactions, emotional responses, and general attitude—match
the values and experiences of your new identity. This won't radically shift your alignment or even
necessarily change how you act at all, because you can always stop and moderate your actual actions.
Nevertheless, you'll be far more disquieted by thoughts and actions your new self would find abhorrent,
and far less bothered by things they'd accept, no matter how far from your normal values that may be.
If you're a Drop-In, you have no new identity to interfere with you, but instead will be dealing with the
intense existential horror of amnesia for the duration of the Jump, because even though all your memories
are still there, they won't feel like yours. It may not have the sort of 'active effects' it would with a Jump
Identity, but that's not a free pass; instead, you'll simply be miserably uncomfortable with your existence.
Force Adepts who investigate further will learn that you have great potential to bring about change, which
will make you an attractive pawn for mid-level plotters, schemers, and other 'forward thinkers' of both
factions. Power players like Vitiate and his Dark Council and the Jedi High Council may be curious, but have
too many other concerns to trouble themselves with you unless you start making waves, so you won't be
drawing a huge amount of heat right off the bat. How you deal with the attention you do get is up to you.
If you are part of an organization that normally wouldn't require you to pay for your stuff, such as a
Trooper serving on a normal deployment, you will instead be cursed with horrible luck when it comes to
actually receiving equipment. This only ever affects you, but if the quartermaster is one short of anything
they issue to the troops, you will be the one who loses out, and they will invariably be one short of
something. Your sources will almost never have anything you attempt to requisition directly, either, forcing
you to buy your own gear and bringing you back to the central problem this Drawback introduces.
36
Back to school [+200 CP]
You Jumped in a little early, didn't you? Rather than landing in the role of an action-ready hero, you're still
learning the ropes, up to 10 years before the nominal start of your Jump at your Benefactor's discretion.
Your age is reduced to that of a young adult of your chosen species, and your chosen starting location is

37
Bounty Hunted [+400 CP]
There's a bounty on your head, and it's a big one. Regardless of whether you're an anonymous dirt farmer
on Mudball XII, a renowned soldier of your chosen faction, or a crime lord surrounded by your strongest
enforces, someone is going to think they can cash in. To make things worse, it's not just the standard
bounty hunters who'll be after you; the money on offer

For [+200 CP], you start as above, and you will always find yourself scorned by the elite fools too proud,
snobby, or self-important to respect their 'lessors' until you've proven yourself to them specifically.
Somehow, they'll always know your past, and word of mouth won't be enough to change their minds; you
have to impress every person you want to respect you individually, by doing something they have a direct,
personal interest in. The grudging respect you earn won't be nearly as good as proper appreciation, either,
since even if the self-important jerks acknowledge your effectiveness, they'll likely resent you for proving
them wrong about 'your sort'.
The boosted version doesn't actively mess with people's heads or change their character, but it does apply
some minor passive perception filters to people who are already biased against your background by
ensuring they recognize you as being Disreputable in the first place, strengthening their initial (negative)
impression of you, and encouraging them to ignore second-hand information that would raise their
opinion of you. People who wouldn't be mean to you in the first place aren't affected, but pompous elites

38
Massively Singleplayer [+200-300 CP] [Restricted CP] [Jumper Only]
You're going in alone, at least for the short term. For the first few years of the Jump, your imported or
purchased companions will be hidden from you, and you them. Events will conspire to make sure you don't
run into each other naturally, and any attempts you make to track them, or they you, will be Fiat blocked. If
you take this Drawback with a Partner, they are not affected but gain no CP from it. Astromech Droid
companions will find their way to you when the Drawback ends; Astromech Droid items are unaffected.
You gain [+200 CP] for two years, or [+300 CP] for four years, to be spent on companions only. You may
not spend this CP on a Partner. You may not take this Drawback for alternate Point awards.
You still know about the Jumpchain, your build, and your companions. You also know everything a normal
citizen of the Galaxy would, including recent history and the current state of your local area. However,
you know nothing about the future, threats that aren't common knowledge, details that aren't public or
readily available to your background, or the specifics of any meta-knowledge-dependent plans you may
have made going into the Jump. The experience is that of Jumping into an obscure work you've never
heard of and didn't research. Details you could pick up from this document are also obscured, though you
still know exactly how your purchases work, and even why you picked them to the extant that your
decision didn't involve specifics about the setting or plot. You remember that you took this Drawback,
and what its effects are.
Includes and overrides Far and Away. Companions gain [+400 CP]. It shouldn't be impossible, since you
probably took this to pay for some pretty awesome perks, but you'll be vulnerable and functionally blind.
Good luck.
The permutations for this Drawback are referred to as 'Far', 'Away', 'Far and Away', and 'Far, Far Away'.
39
SCENARIOS
Jumpers willing to do more work receive more rewards. Only the Jumper may attempt scenarios 1, and they
must declare their intention to do so before insertion. Failing a scenario has no consequences on the rest of
your Chain. Consolation prizes require at least a good-faith effort at completing the challenge; selecting a
scenario and then ignoring it is not rewarded. All scenario rewards (and consolation prizes) are Fiat-backed.
Scenarios are watermarked with either the Light side symbol (left), the Dark side symbol (right), or a blend of
the two, depending on whether the scenario goals are (generally speaking) 'good', 'evil', or up to your
discretion. This is a suggestion only; you may choose to attempt any scenario(s) you wish, regardless of your
faction, Force alignment, or moral compass.
Boilerplate Rule
If a Supplement applied to the Jump or the effect of the Expanded Universe Toggle (pg 35) trivializes the
goals or invalidates the basic assumptions of a scenario, you may not attempt that scenario. You may still
go through the motions if you wish, but you will not gain either the Reward or the Consolation Prize.
You may exit the Jump normally at any time after your nominal Jump duration (including any time added by
Drawbacks) is over, although if the scenario is not complete, doing so is considered a forfeit. Extra time
added by scenarios will not endanger your Chain. If you die after your Jump would have otherwise ended,
you will simply be forced to leave at that time.
This is not a hard-and-fast rule, and such effects can be used to bring about victory, but only if they are at
least a step or two removed from the challenge itself. Attempting to apply a Fiat-backed success effect
directly to a listed scenario goal won't work, but using them on sub-goals of your own devising will.
40
PAX JUMPERIA
The Treaty of Coruscant was not a peace; it was an armistice for nine years. Or it would be, if you weren't
around. Insert the day the Treaty was signed, in 3653 BBY. Whichever version of this challenge you choose to

what Reward and Consolation prize you are eligible for. You must complete the scenario within 100 years
from the moment you import, even if other rules would extend your time in the setting beyond that. You
do not need to stay the full century; the scenario is declared complete as soon as you manage to get the
Galaxy into a state in which it will successfully pass the requirements, at which point you may leave as
soon as you wish.

Notes
A 'combination' of magic systems may simply be all of those systems at the same time, a single 'hybrid'
system with elements from the source systems, or multiple hybrid and/or non-hybrid systems.
Your pocket dimension (of either type) behaves as its own universe that just happens to be permanently
connected to your Warehouse. If people emigrate, they will remain there across all future Jumps unless
you remove them or they have another source of multiversal travel.
To complete the Light side option, the Republic and Empire must either continue to exist, or transition
smoothly to any future successor state(s) without severe political or social upheaval. Even a benevolent
uplift hews closer to the Dark side option if it involves cultural conquest. Dark side doesn't always mean
'evil' or 'immoral'; in this case, it may simply mean 'quick', 'easy', or 'convenient'. 'Tempting', in other words.
The scenario completion requirement for the Dark side option would not require you to rule for the entire
time span; it only requires that your Dominion remain sovereign and united. However, after conquering the
Republic and Empire but before fulfilling the requirement of stability, you fail the scenario if you are
deposed or your new polity fragments.
It is hypothetically possible to fulfill both Light-side and Dark-side goals, if you somehow manage to
become the head of a unified Republic-Empire state without starting a war, but you must 'call your shot',
and failing either challenge fails the entire scenario. Your consolation prize is in that case is a mug with
"Galaxy's #1 Overachiever" printed on it. The mug is chipped and cannot be repaired.
42
MENTOR SYNDROME
You will die. Yes, you read that right. Don't worry, it won't end your Chain; call it a 'scripted death'. It'll be really
dramatic, too, something to remember for the rest of your… uh… nevermind.
The Challenge
Rather than leaving the Jump when your time here is over, you must find yourself an apprentice. This must
be someone from the setting (not a Companion) of the same 'class' you imported as, who would otherwise
have no notable accomplishments to their name. You will have a short time to train them before dying in a
suitably dramatic fashion. How long you have with your apprentice depends on how fast you can train
them; you will have at least enough time to give them a few month's worth of normal instruction before
the Plot Reaper comes calling. As a 'cutscene' death, it will ignore all protections and revive effects—you
need to die to attempt the scenario at all!
After your death, your apprentice must go on to carry out a 'Great Accomplishment' that would put them
into the same category as other eminently recognizable characters in the setting. Whether they survive
the Accomplishment or not won't affect you; as long as your training helps them perform a feat worthy of
legend, enough to secure their name in the Lore (not necessarily History) of the Expanded Universe, you
have successfully completed the scenario.
You will be able to appear as a Force Ghost to guide them, regardless of your class, but doing so exhausts
a slowly-replenishing resource, and the cost of reaching them is affected by their mental state. If they are
soul-searching or hoping for guidance, a full-body manifestation for conversation will be possible, even
easy; but if you wish to offer advice in the heat of battle, you will be restricted to only a few words.
It takes 1 week to recharge enough for 1 minute of calm conversation; a phantom manifestation in these
conditions takes no additional effort. In a life-or-death situation, each word costs 2 weeks of charge.
Factors such as the target soul-searching or seeking guidance, having a trinket or similar item of yours in
their possession, and being in a place of significance to your relationship each halve the cost of
communication. (This list is not exhaustive.) You start with 1 month of charge and can bank up to a full
year's worth. Other perks cannot affect this resource in any way.
There is no time limit to this goal beyond your apprentice's lifespan; you may choose to give up and move
on at any time, but doing so forfeits the scenario. If you succeed, you may exit the Jump immediately, or
linger for a few days to congratulate your apprentice on their achievement before departing. You may even
attempt to recruit your apprentice as a companion before you leave, if you wish. Regardless of whether
you succeed or fail, you are revived none the worse for wear upon leaving the Galaxy.
If you later choose to Return to The Old Republic, you may either adopt a new Drop-In identity, or simply
resume your old life as though you never died. How (or if) you choose to explain your recovery is up to you.
43
Death, Yet The Force
Should you suffer an otherwise Chain-ending death, you are able to persist as a Force Ghost in the current
setting. You may attach yourself to any non-companion character you have had a peer or mentor-student
relationship with prior to your death (for the latter, you must have been the mentor); if they survive the
remaining Jump time, you are revived at the end of the Jump with no penalties.
You immediately know the location and current status of all valid targets, and have up to 24 hours to
select one. Should you fail to choose within that time, or have no valid targets left, the chance is lost and
your death takes effect as normal. While dead, your ability to directly affect the world beyond your target
is reduced to nearly nothing. When not manifesting, you are still able to monitor your chosen target, or you
may release your mind to the Force until such time as you wish to return to consciousness, triggered by
any condition you wish to set before your 'slumber' as would be judged by you were you still aware.
The requirements and rules for communicating with your target are the same as during the normal
scenario. Those sensitive to ghosts, spirits, or other analogous beings that exist in the current setting may
be able to sense your presence while you are 'active', and may even be able to see or hear you when you
choose to communicate with your target, but you are impossible to detect while not 'awake' and are
immune to banishment, containment, or other forms of interference.
Additionally, even friends and allies unaware of your undying nature are never overly traumatized by your
death(s). That is not to say they don't care, but they are able to swiftly move past it and draw strength and
motivation from the tragedy, rather than giving in to grief. While certainly good for their future mental
state, the most immediate effect is that candidates in your presence at the time of your death are more
likely to rally to victory, or at least survival, in the moments you are least able to assist them.
Notes
Companions who remain in the setting may offer assistance, but if their contributions overshadow either
your training or the apprentice themselves, the Accomplishment will not fulfill the scenario requirement. It
must be your training and guidance, specifically, that pushes the apprentice to greatness. Similarly,
providing your apprentice with extra-normal equipment (that is, items that do not exist within the setting
and/or have supernatural features from being CP-bought) risks having that equipment be more important
than their character arc.
The Accomplishment does not necessarily have to be traditionally heroic or villainous in nature, as long as
it is sufficiently impressive. A ridiculous feat that would grant a character an out-of-universe Memetic Skill
God status would count, such as a Smuggler managing to steal the Imperial flagship and accompanying
escort, or an undercover Agent managing to seduce Satele Shan herself.
If you took Hollow-cron Hoarder, you must find all 50 hollow-crons before the scenario will start. If you're
not keeping track, your Benefactor will be sure to remind you when you are ready to begin.
If you decide you really don't want to die for some reason, you may forfeit the scenario early. Doing so will
prevent you from gaining even the alt-form consolation prize, as you never became a Force Ghost to begin
with. If you die after the normal end of the Jump but before choosing an apprentice, you immediately fail
the scenario, but still receive your Ghost form and may continue as normal. Dying before the normal end of
your Jump is treated as a normal death in every way.
If a Chain-wide effect limits or prevents companion respawns, imported companions may attempt this
scenario. This is the only exception to the 'Companions cannot take scenarios' rule. Companions lose
access to the Death, Yet the Force feature if later changes to Chain-wide rules remove the limits on
respawning that made them eligible for the scenario in the first place.

REVAN'S REDEMPTION
Revan got a really rough break. Losing his faith during the Mandalorian Wars, being corrupted by Vitiate and
sent back to destroy the Republic, regaining his connection to the Light side of the force, then being captured
again and tortured into insanity… he may be the strangest Woobie of the Old Republic Era. If you want to
offer him a happier ending, read on.
The Challenge
If you want to try to fit the broken pieces of one of the Galaxy's most reviled heroes and revered villains
back together, you have your work cut out for you. You cannot prevent Revan's release, his capture of the
Foundry, or his subsequent defeat, because you will be inserting in 3642 BBY, after Revan's Dark side half
flees the Foundry and takes control of the Revanite cult.
The It Takes Effort rule is in full effect here: when it comes to all aspects of this challenge, Fiat perks that
mandate a successful result will not apply. If you are to succeed, it will be through great effort. It may take
years even for a veteran Jumper to successfully heal Revan; if you need more time, you may extend your
Jump so long as Revan lives, but effects that normally end at the end of the Jump will continue through the
extra time.
First, you must capture and contain Revan. Capturing him will be difficult, as he is well hidden within the
shadow cast by the Dark side of the Force, already surrounded by fanatics devoted to him, soon to begin
production of the Infinite Army, and an incredible power in his own right. Containing him will require a cell
capable of holding one of the most powerful Dark Jedi of the Era. You have until his final defeat at Yavin 4
to spirit him away from the Republic and Imperial forces who seek to stop the threat he poses once and
for all.
Once you have captured Revan, you must piece together his fragmented mind. His death in the Foundry
splintered him: the part of him aligned with the Light side of the Force sought to become with the Force,
while the part of him aligned with the Dark Side clung stubbornly to life and began to puppet his fallen
body. You must enter Revan's mind and repair the damage the split has done, which will draw his Light
half back into his body in the process. If you do not have other abilities fit for this process, the spirit of
Meetra Surik will be able to aid you with a form of Force Melding that will give you the tools, if not the
skills, to attempt the task.
Lastly, once his sanity is restored, comes the healing of the spirit. From the crimes he committed as a
soldier of the Republic, to the horrors of the Jedi Civil War, to the madness and devastation his reborn self
would have brought to the galaxy, Revan's soul is heavy with guilt and the lingering traces of the madness
his torture inflicted on him. If you cannot help him come to terms with his actions and convince him that
he deserves the redemption you offer, he will die of his own despair.

THE FACE OF EVIL
What would you do for power? Lie? Cheat? Steal? Eat every sapient being in the Galaxy? If you answered 'Yes'
to the last one, this is the scenario for you.
You monster.
The Challenge
Vitiate planned to conduct a horrific ritual that would strip the Force from the Galaxy to grant him God-like
power, killing everything within in the process, but he will fail. You're going to show him how it's done by
co-opting and completing the ritual yourself. Normally, this would count as Apotheosis and disqualify you
from continuing your Chain, but doing so through this scenario will allow you to continue regardless. You
have only the normal 10 years to accomplish this goal.
First, in order to have a hope of actually performing the Sith Emperor's Ritual, you will need to learn
everything there is to know about the Ritual itself. Ripping it out of Vitiate's mind is the most direct
method, although not 'easy' by any stretch. Other records exist, in enough detail for Darth Bane to modify
the ritual into the Thought Bomb that would end the Brotherhood of the Sith in 1000 BBY, but finding
them and piecing them together will be a challenge.
Second, the stepping stone. The Ritual's execution requires the aid of thousands of Dark-side Adepts
working together towards their own destruction to bring about the beneficiary's first step towards
apotheosis. Vitiate required 8000 mind-controlled Dark Lords of the Sith working in concert for 10 days to
consume all Force power from a single planet, including each and every one of those Lords. You will need
to do the same just to have the power to enact the full Galactic Ritual. You need not be a Force Adept
yourself to absorb the power, and even if you had no Force power to speak of before, completing this step
will catapult you to the level of an Unparalleled Force User. Be warned: your 'test run' will doubtless cause
a disturbance in the Force strong enough to be felt throughout the entire Galaxy.
Third, you must use your new power to enact the Emperor's final goal: draining the entire Galaxy dry of the
Force. You will need orders of magnitude more minions, both for the Ritual itself and for its defense. Just
starting the Ritual requires the deaths of thousands to fuel the building Sith magic, and you will have to
defend your chosen ritual site from everyone else in the setting for several days. Yes, everyone.
Unlike Vitiate, your failure is not predestined; as a result, the unprecedented threat you pose will draw a
reaction from the Force itself. The moment you begin, every single Force Adept in the setting will know
where you are, what you are doing, and the consequences of your success. The Republic and Empire will
fight side by side to halt the ritual, and in the closing hours, even the Ones on Mortis will abandon their
posts to join the fray; if that allows Abeloth to escape, she'll come too. If the Ritual is disrupted, you fail
the scenario—and potentially your Chain as well, if the backlash is strong enough to kill you through
whatever defenses you have left. If it succeeds, everything in the Galaxy except you dies forever.
47
The Ritual's Power
Should you succeed, God-like power is only the beginning of your reward. Having consumed all of the
Force in the Galaxy, you now 'are' the Force, and thus bring its metaphysics with you wherever you go,
causing Force sensitives to appear naturally in your wake. You gain strength from the negative emotions
users feel while wielding your Force, and are able to grant Force sensitivity to others directly. You are
immortal, your body merely an avatar, and you cannot be killed for good without destroying your Force
itself. You may grant and rescind this immortality to others as you see fit without any of the alchemical
processes the Emperor required, but it will still have great costs for the recipient.
The actual metaphysics of your new Force differ from the Force as it existed previously: there is no Light
side to be found. Due to the horrific scale of the death that fueled your ascension, your Dark Force is
antithetical to living beings and inherently corrupting to all who wield it. Those who use it without your
'blessing' of immortality age more quickly as the Dark energy erodes their life force and transfers it to you,
and even those who do have such a blessing suffer the effects of Dark side corruption more rapidly and
severely than anyone who merely used the Dark side of the unadulterated Force. With effort, you are able
to partially reverse the corruption of your favored servants. You, of course, are immune to these effects.
Notes
If you do not complete the Ritual within your normal 10 year Jump duration, you fail the scenario, even if
you have additional time from other rules. Completing the Ritual after a scenario failure counts as a
normal, setting-binding Apotheosis. You Benefactor will alert you should the scenario window close.
Success renders all other scenarios impossible and forfeits their rewards and consolation prizes. The
Ritual will 'kill' even beings that are not 'alive', per se, such as Droids. It also leaves the area affected so
barren of the Force that life will never be able to return. The result of the Galactic Ritual is the end of the
Force, and thus life, in the Galaxy for all time. Nothing but ash will remain.
You must evacuate all companions you do not wish to kill before you begin the Ritual; your Warehouse
locks at that time for the safety of those within. Companions who are still in the Jump during the Ritual are
caught in the effect with everything else, killing them permanently with no possibility of resurrection. You
gain all powers and perks held by the companions the Ritual consumes, but you do not benefit from
multiple copies of the same perk unless the perk contains explicit rules for multiple purchases. Don't be
surprised if stranded companions who aren't willing to suffer a True Death for your benefit turn against
you and aid your enemies in stopping your mad plan.
Canonical details on the Sith Emperor's Ritual itself are sparse; in fact, 'Sith Emperor's Ritual' is the only
name by which it is known. To quote the starwars.fandom wiki:
During the time of the Great Hyperspace War, the Sith Lord Vitiate developed a ritual of Sith
magic that granted him immortality and immense strength in the Force. Using the strength of
eight thousand Sith Lords to power the Sith magic, Vitiate was able to strip the Force itself
from the planet Nathema at the expense of every living thing on the world, and as the Sith
Emperor of the reconstituted Sith Empire, he later developed an artificial version of the ritual
by combining it with Sith alchemy and cybernetics. With the Sith magic, the Emperor was able
to grant immortality to his favored servants, and he intended to use the ritual on a galactic
scale in order to consume all life in the galaxy and thereby ensure that he would never be
defeated.
Consult the Wookieepedia article itself for what few additional details exist, and prepare to fanwank the
rest. The one thing you can be absolutely sure of is that this is by far the hardest challenge on offer.
48
THE END
Well, your stay in the Galaxy has come to a close. What will you do now?
Stay
Thousands of years of history have yet to be made. What better way to see the results of your meddling
that observing them firsthand? Time to see what your Legacy will be.
Go Home
Really? Had enough? You're not the first, and you won't be the last, but you are the... fifth, I think? Very
well. Thanks for playing.
Continue
More adventures await you in other universes. Onward, to wherever you may go.

APPENDIX A: TERMINOLOGY
Free Perks, Items, and Ships are still considered 'purchases' for all purposes.
Ship Points and Item Points are sub-types of Choice Points. Anything bought with IP or SP can be said to
have been 'bought with CP' or be 'CP-bought'. Anything you can buy with IP or SP may be bought with CP, or
with any combination of CP and the associated sub-type.
Skill Levels:
Knowledge of something is the bare minimum of awareness; you know of it, and may even know a few
things about it, but have never practiced it.
Familiarity is the next step up; you're a novice, someone with experience, but not a lot of it.
Proficiency at something means you have trained to a level at which a teacher has declared you
competent, but you are still a journeyman.
Expertise is next; a level of experience at which you would be considered a good instructor for others.
Mastery of something means that you have risen to or surpassed the best of the best, and are among the
top authorities on that thing; a level of skill that might make others actively seek you out to train under
you, if you advertise it.
To raise a skill by one or more 'levels', progress through Familiarity →Proficiency →Expertise →Mastery. If you
do not have any skill yet, an increase of one level takes you straight to Familiarity. You may assume any
purchased skill is at the high end of the time/experience range.
A rough estimate of how long and hard a normal person in the setting might work for these levels of skill (and
reactions):
Knowledge: <1 year "I read a book about this." "He's barely got a clue."
Familiarity: 1-2 years "I practiced this." "She's doing okay."
Proficiency: 4-8 years "I studied this." "He knows what he's doing."
Expertise: 10-20 years "I am an old hand at this." "She's really good!"
Mastery: 40+ years "I devoted my life to this." "I've never seen anyone that good!"
50
APPENDIX B: FORCE POWERS
DISCIPLINES
Combat
The art of using the Force to augment your movements, read your enemies' intent, and sense and respond
to danger. You can move faster and jump farther, deflect blaster bolts and dodge bullets, react to threats
before they appear, and avoid deadly blows. You're able to throw your lightsaber and guide its path with
the Force, including bringing it right back to your hand. A Master of both Saber and Force Combat is likely
to be the deadliest warrior on any battlefield, provided reach isn't a concern.
Control
Control is art of asserting your will on the world around you. Whatever your creed, you know exactly how
to best use your power to move mountains, knock machines out of (or into) commission, and otherwise
move and shake whatever's around you. You can do the opposite as well, absorbing energy that should be
harmful or deadly with no ill effects, allowing you to catch blaster bolts or parry a lightsaber barehanded
and walk away unharmed. Or you could just make some rocks float, if it suits you.
Mind
The Force connects all living creatures, and that connection can be used to reach into the minds of those
around you. The simplest skill is that of empathy, allowing users to sense the emotions of those around
them, including sensing deceit and intent to harm. More advanced uses include Force Persuasion, the art
of the infamous Jedi Mind trick as well as illusion-casting; Battle Meditation, strengthening the will of your
allies while weakening that of your enemies; and Force Cloak, which erases your presence from the
thoughts of others even as you walk amongst them.
Mystery
What is the Force? Where does it come from, and how can—and should—it be used? To the Jedi, it is a
celebration of life, an affirmation of purpose and will. To the Sith, it is a tool, one that can be wielded as
carefully as a scalpel or as crudely as a bludgeon. You have gained a deeper understanding of the Force
and how to use it to more arcane ends. With care and effort, you can manipulate living beings to heal or
harm, look through the sands of time, or even gaze beyond the veil of death.
Q&A
Q: Why 4 'Disciplines' rather than the 3 'Aspects'?
A: (Watsonian)
Aspects are a classification of abilities, but do not reflect what abilities are taught and used together.
A: (Doylist)
Disciplines are bundled based on what Force Powers canonical characters tend to display together. It also
gives more flexibility to fanwank whether or not any given purchase teaches a specific ability; every canon
ability belongs to at least one of these Disciplines, and there may be overlap.
Q: How much does it cost to learn every Force ability through Perks?
51
SPECIFIC FORCE POWERS
Different Force Powers require different levels of skill. Powers marked with a + are Light side powers, while
those marked with a × are Dark side. Jedi and Sith receive Light and Dark side powers, respectively; other
classes (and Drop-In Adepts) may choose to be either when learning Force powers, and may choose
differently for each Discipline. You may learn the other side's techniques through perks by purchasing the Skill
Level again in the opposite alignment for half price. Whether learning from perk purchases or another source,
such as an instructor or holocron, one can learn abilities of the other alignment provided they have the proper
level of Skill in that Discipline; a Dark side Master of Control wouldn't need to study the entire Light side
Discipline to learn Sever Force+. However, Legendary Force Abilities require full Masteries in their alignment.
The table below is a guideline and not exhaustive or ironclad. Adepts may learn some skills earlier or later in
their training than indicated. Some abilities may be taught in different Disciplines at different levels. Not all
abilities are listed; how the missing abilities fit into these categories is open for interpretation. Higher levels
also improve lower leveled skills, including unlocking more powerful variants like Force Chain Lightning× and
Force Stasis Field+. The most powerful abilities, such as Force Enlightenment+ and Force Storm×, require
Mastery in multiple categories—see Legendary Force Abilities (below).
Further reading: Wookieepedia has an article on Force Powers, which lists every canon power.
52
APPENDIX C: LIGHTSABER FORMS
There are Seven Forms of Lightsaber combat, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. With the
exception of Form VII's Vaapad variant, which would not be invented until the closing days of the Republic
more than three thousand years later (c. 50 BBY), all seven forms were known and taught in the Galactic War
era. This won't stop you from learning Vaapad through Jump Fiat if you insist, but there will likely be some
questions about your style when people see you use it; particularly pointed questions, if you're a Jedi.
For skill level purposes, treat variant Forms as separate skills; there are 9 separate Forms for purchase with 4
levels in each, for a total of 36 ranks. Factoring in the 10 ranks included in Basic Saber Training and the extra
cost of Vaapad, it would take 27 'Skill Points' (9 purchases of Advanced Saber Training) to Master every Form
before setting foot in the Jump. You can learn any Forms (except Vaapad) you do not purchase now during the
Jump, but achieving a level of skill beyond Proficiency will take quite some time.
Skill Levels
Proficiency means you know every move well enough to not make mistakes when practicing. You can
eventually reach Mastery solely through practice, but it will take much longer than if you had an
instructor. You may still make unforced errors in combat.
Expertise allows you to switch smoothly and seamlessly between Forms. The more Forms you have
Expertise in, the better you can respond to changing circumstances and your opponent's chosen Forms.
At this level, unforced errors are very rare.
Mastery of a Form lets you modify a Form to better fit you, such as by blending in other styles or adapting
existing moves and styles for unusual weapon choices. You can compensate for weaknesses in a form,
halving the effect of You never make unforced errors in these forms.
Specific Match-ups
Form II was largely developed to counter Form I, and does so effectively.
Form III's defensive focus leaves Form V no openings to exploit or aggression to counter.
Form V's Djem So variant allows a user to bring their strength to bear against Form II's (over-)reliance on
finesse over physical force.
Form VI's generalist approach is beaten by Form II's focus on finesse in dueling.
The strengths and weaknesses of the various forms are listed in the table below. Much of the information is
taken directly from this article on ComicVine, supplemented with information from Wookieepediea.
Further Reading: Wookieepedia has an article on lightsaber combat, including pages on each individual form.

APPENDIX D: WEAPON STAT BLOCKS
READING THE STAT BLOCKS
For melee weapons, Length refers to the blade only. For total length, add 8-10 cm for vibroknives, 12-18 cm
for one-handed vibroblades, and 20-40 cm for two-handed vibroswords and double vibroblades.
Lightsaber hilts are larger, at 24-30 cm for a typical single saber and 40-60 cm for a saberstaff. Shoto saber
hilts go down to 10-15 cm for the shortest variants. Greatsaber hilts may be as small as a normal saber hilt
but are usually larger, either because they are made to be used by larger species or simply for better control
of the weapon. Long-handled sabers can have hilts up to a meter long, often with a proportionate reduction
in blade length to keep the weapon manageable in close quarters.
As for the blades: a typical saber blade is between 110 and 145 cm long; changing this by more than 10 cm in
either direction will likely be considered either a shoto or greatsaber. Shoto saber blades may be as short as
50 cm, while greatsaber blades can reach up to 3 meters. Dual-phase sabers have one setting typical of a
normal saber, with their alternate setting anywhere between a shoto and greatsaber.
Melee weapon stats are relative; while rated ★★★☆☆ compared to a lightsaber, a vibroblade is quite capable
of severing a limb in a single strike if there is enough force behind the blow.
You may choose to disregard any or all of these stats if they get in the way of fun, responsible fanwank.

APPENDIX E: NOTES AND DETAILS
…ON CHARACTER CREATION
You may take a Disreputable Background without the Drawback if you just want a more 'interesting' history
without the Fiat-enforced difficulty.
You must purchase Force Power this Jump to insert as an Adept, even if you are already a Force user.
…ON PERKS
Polyglot
'Most common' is judged by number of speakers. The 'mundane language' qualifier excludes extinct
languages, languages of magic or other supernatural significance, and programming languages.
Force Power
The differences between a mere Force Sensitive, a Force User, and a Gifted Force User are substantial, but
beyond that, the utility of each tier decreases rapidly. The additional power is unlikely to matter unless it
puts you over or under a hostile Force Adept; the only thing a Peerless Force User can do that a Gifted one
can't is manhandle another Gifted in a battle of strength. For illustration, imagine the following: 'Sensitive'
is an average person; 'User', an athlete; 'Gifted', an Olympic athlete; 'Peerless', an Olympic medalist, and
'Unparalleled', the best athlete to ever live. Unparalleled gives you enough strength to beat even Vitiate in
a metaphysical arm-wrestling match, if only barely, but it doesn't give you any of his special abilities, like
immortality. Abeloth or the Ones could still kick your ass; you aren't that far past the mortal limit.
Master-Apprentice Affinity
The perk also applies to physical and metaphysical training, such as fitness and the Unlimited Potential
perk, so long as the master is stronger than the apprentice. If both master and apprentice have this perk,
the bonus is doubled, not squared.
Due to the cumulative nature of the bonus and the learning itself, the student receives 9 years' worth of
training in only 2 years, 30 years' worth after 4, and more than 100 years' worth after 8. After t years:
3
Total Value V (t )= 2 (t 2+t )
A Foot in Each Well
The perk grants you all benefits awarded by purchases that are normally determined by alignment, such
as both versions of Mental Mastery and A Moment's Reprieve, as well as all Force Powers, including both
alignments' Legendary Force Abilities if you have the required Masteries.
Examples of 'mutually exclusive' powers include opposite energies in settings where they tend to mutually
annihilate (Divine/Demonic, Magicka elements that cancel out, et cetera), opposing forces like Free Magic
and Charter Magic, and so on. The corruption protection would help against the ill effects of Black Magic in
Dresden Files but not those of Psykery in Warhammer 40k, because the Warp's corruption is not associated
with any specific techniques. It does not offer any protection against consequences that are part and
parcel of a technique, such as turning yourself into a Weird Force Lich the way Darth Nihilus did, or against
mundane issues like letting your power go to your head in an entirely natural fashion.
This perk does not allow you to take both sets of 1000 Choice Points at the beginning of the Document.
58
My Kit Don't Quit
Mechanically, this perk makes your items run on cooldowns rather than actual supplies by granting a free
use of any given consumable item X every Y seconds, where Y is based on X's awesomeness. For a general
ballpark, a setting-standard grenade takes about 30 seconds. You know how long Y is for any valid item in
your possession. Items which can't reasonably be used individually like caltrops or loose revolver
cartridges replenish by 'use', be it a handful, single full reload, or other quantity appropriate for that item.
If you brought 5 of X, you can use all 5 in quick succession and still get another one when it 'cools down',
on the other hand, if you use X less often than Y's interval, you'll still have the full set of 5 X when you go
to check your gear. The perk explicitly protects from you using your last copy of something, so you'll never
lose access to anything you bring unless you give it away or leave it behind. Y counts down from the
consumption of items even if you've given them away, as well, so once someone uses the thermal
detonator you loaned them, you'll have another one ready to go soon.
The perk only affects items you pack (from a 'Restock-valid' area); anything you find in the field won't be
affected. It is also only for non-beneficial items. Smoke grenades and lockpicks are affected, but healing,
buffing, and other purely helpful items are not; that's what Veteran Field Medic is for.
Enemies can overcome your narrative defense with effort; the more 'important' an enemy is to the
narrative, the more effectively they can push through this defense. Yes, narrative logic means that an
enemy who announces their name and grievance is more dangerous to you, but the same logic means
that large groups matter less. Your supply of 'plot-contrived luck' can run out, but it will recover over time,
and you have an instinctive sense of how much you have left and what you can get away with.
The fail-safe trigger tends towards a generous (that is, Jumper-favorable) interpretation of its effects: if an
attack would deplete all your defense, knock you unconsciousness, and leave you open for a coup de
grâce, it would block the primary attack rather than merely making your foe execute you twice. However, it
can only trigger once for any given target within its lockout period: if three people with the perk are
protecting a VIP, only one trigger can protect that VIP across the 10-year 'cooldown'. If more than one
person with the perk is in range, the closest one to the target in question expends the ability. The innate
knowledge included with the ability lets you know if a target has the feature locked out, and for roughly
how long, just by looking at it.
Upon starting a Jump, you may choose to extend the triggered protection to scenario failure events, Jump
failure events (default), or only Chain-ending events (if different from Jump-failure events); in Jumps where
death is not an automatic Jump or Chain failure, you choose whether it would prevent your (first) death or
only trigger for the selected failure conditions. You cannot change your choices once the Jump begins, even
if it has not triggered yet. It specifically reacts to and nullifies attacks; the definition of "attack" is broad,
but if something cannot be conceptualized as an attack in some way, the protection will not trigger.
Silver Tongue
You get a fiat guarantee of 1 attempt at diplomacy against any target, no matter how unreasonable,
unusual, unfriendly, or unknowable they are. Of course it would take truly ludicrous social-fu to talk down
something like a Tyranid Hive Fleet, but you'll at least have your shot at it before it eats you.
59
…ON ITEMS
Restocking
If you are carrying a mix of CP-bought and non-CP-bought supplies like power packs or grenades, you do
not need to keep track of which are which (in fact, there is no way to tell). It is always assumed that you
used the restocking resources first.
By default, neither your ship nor your Warehouse are valid 'staging points' for Restocking items, as they
are not 'fixed' or 'in-Jump', respectively. The Fabricators upgrade for your ship specifically permits you to
Restock there, but your Warehouse cannot become a valid Restock point.
Item Imports
The following chart shows the recommended guidelines for what items can be imported into what:
What constitutes a 'similar item' for the purpose of importing is ultimately up to your Benefactor; they
may or may not accept your interpretation, and they are the final authority on the matter.
Esoteric properties include just about every 'special feature' of an item. A sword made of an ultra-light
metal that never loses its edge will impart its light weight and sharpness to your new melee weapon, even
though those are technically 'physical properties'. Blessings, enchantments, and Jump Fiat effects are all
'esoteric'.
Importing a weapon only changes the final weapon's characteristics (weight, accuracy, and so on) as much
as a property modifies those characteristics; similarly, imported armor will not protect parts of your body
the armor's current form doesn't protect, or provide practical features that form lacks, unless you or your
armor possess a property that allows it to do so. If you wish, you may have the new form be influenced by
the imported item's form; this won't provide any functional changes, but it could apply a paint-job to a
speeder, for example.
Vehicle blueprints reflect purchased upgrades, but only as much as can be achieved without special
properties: for example, the blueprint of a vehicle with the Need for Speed upgrade would create an
exceptionally fast vehicle, but without the fantastic Fiat-backed handling of the purchased version. Jumper
Warranty is a purely special property and thus not reflected on the blueprints at all.
60
Sidequest Board
The actual item is the list of nearby jobs; the data-slate is merely an included interface. 'Nearby' means
anywhere you can easily get while the information is still relevant. If you have another quest-tracking item
or ability, it can access all the information included with this item. The interface's form never compromises
its ease of use, and you can keep it in data-slate form if you prefer.
The normal Board does not change the setting in any way, but the upgraded Board provides Fiat influence
towards an MMORPG-like experience by making it more likely that the people who needs your help will
have, find, or figure out suitable quest rewards. It does not create or intensify problems.
Lightsaber
Your lightsaber's blade may be any color, including white, but it must be bright and highly visible. You may
choose any appropriate sound effects for its activation, hum, and so forth, as well as visual effects that do
not affect the saber's performance, such as the jagged, crackling energy of unstable lightsabers.
You may stack lightsaber upgrades, allowing for a pair of dual-phase crossguard saberstaffs if you're
willing to pay for the privilege. You only need to buy one upgrade for a pair of sabers, and may apply it to
one or both. Your off-hand saber may be a different variant (length, hilt, etc) to the main-hand saber;
shoto sabers are common off-hand weapons.
Vehicles
If your Warehouse cannot accommodate the replacement vehicle, you may have it delivered directly to
your ship instead. If your Warehouse can't accommodate your replacement vehicle and your ship has been
destroyed, you may have the new vehicle appear in a suitable space you own, such as a rented hangar. If
you're in a situation where you cannot rent such a space… what the hell have you been doing?
Starfighter
Heavy Fighters have additional missile hardpoints and up-sized blasters. Fighter-Bombers gain a Torpedo
Tube (pg 30). Both types have upgraded shields and armor compared to the Light Fighter, but the trade-off
for their durability and armaments is lower speed, acceleration, and maneuverability. Need for Speed
more than offsets this penalty, resulting in a heavy strike craft with the performance of an Interceptor.
61
…ON SHIPS
The 'comparably-sized' qualifier on ship imports, like on items, is up to the discretion of the Benefactor. It
mostly exists to prevent a Jumper from importing a Titan into a ship sized for only a dozen people.
Luxurious and Comfortable Quarters are suitable for couples who wish to bunk together. You may interpolate
between the listed Room sizes; for example, you could define Modest Quarters as being between Cramped
and Comfortable at 45 m3. Furniture appropriate for the size and comfort of the space is included; for Military
Bunks, that means only a footlocker per person, while larger Quarters gain steadily nicer beds, wardrobes,
and dressers, plus a desk and chair if room permits. Luxurious Quarters include a full-featured, if slightly
cramped, master bathroom, and you may add even more space if you wish.
If you want to take advantage of the Luxury Accommodations' improved kitchen and bar without doing any
work yourself, droids that will cook or tend bar for you are available for purchase in-universe during the Jump.
As long as the droids are employed on the ship, they are considered Aftermarket Upgrades for the purposes
of Made Like They Used To. If you have both Luxury Accommodations and Made Like They Used To, the ship
Restocks finer food and keeps the Bar fully supplied with high-quality liquor and cocktail mixers.
Turbolasers are sized for capital ships to engage other capital ships or bombard targets from orbit. Sticking
them on a corvette-sized vessel is akin to putting a 16 inch gun on an inflatable dingy. The [200 SP]
investment buys you the ability to freely ignore the question of how your ship manages to power them,
dissipate the heat, and other practical concerns; by Fiat, your ship has Turbolasers and they work, period.
…ON COMPANIONS
The Partner option doesn't include a ship because it's intended to be used for sidekick(s) who accompany you
wherever you go; they get more IP than other companions, instead. You don't have to stick together, but you
need to either purchase other ships (from the Document or in-Jump), arrange transportation for them
separately, or ferry them around yourself. You may have any number of bulk companion slots follow Partner
rules by pairing them to any other party member (Jumper or Companion), replacing the granted Ship with an
additional 100 IP, and converting all SP to IP. Partners have special interactions with some Drawbacks:
Partner(s) get the CP from Hollow-cron Hoarder, but are otherwise unaffected. The Jumper still has to
personally track down the 50 hollow-crons before you and your companions can leave.
If you and your Partner(s) have Back to School, you each go through your own training. Rather than
starting together, you are guaranteed to end up in the same place at the same time when you're done.
If you and your Partner(s) have Bounty Hunted, there is one bounty on all of your heads for the sum of
your worth. You face the same number of encounters, but they will be suitably scaled up, as the payday is
larger and they have to kill all of you to collect. Don't split the party.
If you and your Partner(s) have Binds on Pickup, none of you can share with each other or anyone else.
Paying for an Astromech Droid with a companion import slot does not award the Droid any additional CP,
even if the slot in question would grant more. Items purchased by Droids are considered the property of the
Droid's owner during this Jump. Astromech Droid companions may purchase Astromech Droid items if they
really want to.
If you grant a newly recruited companion an import slot to allow them to make purchases, they still receive
the CP from any group-wide Drawbacks present this Jump, either from this Document or from supplements.
They may not take individual Drawbacks, as the Jump is already over.
62
…ON DRAWBACKS
You may take both 1 Drawback for Item Points and 1 Drawback for Ship Points. You may not apply this effect
partially; the entire value of the chosen Drawback will be converted to the chosen type. All CP types and sub-
types, including extra points awarded by alternate point rewards count against your Drawback Limit. You may
exceed the Limit, but receive no points for doing so.
It's Up To You
If you're interested in meeting (and possibly recruiting) The Old Republic's canon follower characters, this is
the way to do it. Anyone who takes a player-character role is guaranteed to meet the canon supporting
cast unless they annihilate the plot rails beyond any hope of recovery.
Hollow-cron Hoarder
The Hollow-crons are placed according to their position in the source media; instead, they are scattered
over the dozen planets most relevant to your adventure this Jump. There are hints in setting to their
locations, but you still have to go out of your way to find and collect them all.
Heroic Expectations
Taking this Drawback with It's Up To You will bind you to the plot much more tightly than you would be
otherwise. Take care combining this with Back to School, since it will kick in before you get your full set of
perks and items even if that doesn't make much sense. You will inevitably be picked for the most
dangerous tasks, and even the survival guarantee won't offer absolute protection; you don't need all your
bits to live. See the sidebar for Back to School.
Back to School
This is all about inconvenience. It forces anyone who takes it to live through (some of the) experiences
required for a normal person to earn the perks and items they bought this Jump. The training shouldn't be
particularly dangerous unless other Drawbacks make it so, Guarantee or no Guarantee. Even the Sith
Academy is unlikely to kill a typical Jumper; while not 'safe' by any stretch, it's 'only' intended to kill the 7
weakest applicants out of 8. The higher level of Disreputable Background makes Korriban significantly
worse, though, since the overseers will be actively working to kill you so you don't take the spot away
from someone 'deserving', and they will be better at it than the canon Inquisitor's.
You get either a free perk or a free item to start with, not one of each. If you do not take Adventure Ready
as your starting freebie, you will still start with enough Galactic Standard to get by, but may or may not be
literate depending on your background; Drop-ins and some Disreputable sorts will need to learn to read
aurebesh during their training if they don't already know it from other Star Wars visits. Have fun
struggling with the moon runes until you adjust.
If you purchased a rank of Force Power, your potential will be clear to those who can sense such things,
but you will only be able to use the Force at the [100 CP] level to start with. You will grow into your full
power over a few years.
Binds on Pickup
The Drawback prohibits anyone you would approve of using your CP-bought items from doing so, even if
you're not aware that they're helping themselves to your things. Items fail to work for others, but they
don't outright break unless you're caught trying to get around the restriction. Items broken by the no-
cheating clause can still be replaced, but would just break again if you keep trying.
63
'Using' means being the person operating the item in question. You can still use items on other people,
such as using the Field Kits to heal someone or fix their stuff, but they can't remove things from the kit
themselves. Similarly, you are able to carry people with your Shuttle, but they aren't able to pilot it. Think
of it in the same way you can shoot people with blasters, but can't let others do the shooting: 'Use item on
person' is always valid; 'Let person use item' is not. Astromech Droid companions with this Drawback have
their items integrated into their chassis through Custom Loadout (pg 34) until the end of the Jump.
Astromech Droid items with this property stubbornly and obnoxiously refuse to cooperate with anyone
but their owner.
Items you acquire during the Jump by any means other than through CP purchases are not affected.
Far
For the purposes of bringing items into the Jump, 'reasonably carried on your person' means without
wearing the item in question. If you can't lift your armor and carry it around with you, you won't be able
to bring it along. This restriction primarily affects heavy power armor.
…ON SCENARIOS
You may take any number of scenarios. If you wish to take both Pax Jumperia and Revan's Redemption, you
may start at the earlier time, but Revan is Fiat protected from any interference until the latter scenario
begins. If you're going for Pax Jumperia's Light-side option, you have to act fast to prevent him from dragging
the Republic and Empire into a conflict that would trigger a failure. Attempting The Face of Evil is not
exclusive with other scenarios, but succeeding is: given that there is no setting left to speak of after a
successful Ritual, all other scenarios are invalidated, even if they are already complete.
If you took Back to School, scenarios do not start until you finish your training.
The Face of Evil requires the consumption of the Force; the death of all living beings is a mere side-effect of
consuming the life energy of the Galaxy. The Ritual itself is not Fiat-backed, and thus does not work in
cosmologies lacking the Force or an extremely similar Background Life Field. Sufficiently motivated Jumpers
may be able to create a suitable ritual for other metaphysical systems.

will never be instantly lethal without 'foreshadowing'" feature. Added notes about how 'plot armor' works and
how well it protects you. Added notes handling edge cases, such as situations where death does not end a
