Does it mean it official doesn't? Or doesn't have real power?

Finished the first session a couple of days back, and this happened:

Thanks for sharing. You seem to have given your system quite a bit of thought. If you haven't already done so, you might want to look at the link to the Geneva conventions, unless the POWs are p ... | |

Personally, I've always been fond of the idea that shields allow ships to completely avoid damage at some points. Since I use the Star ORE rules for my own campaign, I don't have any D6 houserules for ... | |

Wrong. One of the most profitable times for any business (especially one that manufactures weapons) is during a war. The only place more profitable than selling guns to one side in a war is being ab ... | |

In my New Separatists game, the core of the Alliance is rather well-led under Mon Mothma and she keeps the hard-liners in check very efficiently. However, Sector forces or smaller resistance groups wh ... | |

The Tramp Freighters book doesn't really work for changing the specifics of an already existing design and building the new ships from the ground up. Also, every price in it is a consumer price, but i ... | |

With regards to the Type II, I would put it in the 350 to 400 meters range, which puts is closer in length to the Nebulon B and the Lancer. In fact, that may even be too much, as the Carrack Light Cr ... | |
