Introduction: This sourcebook contains characters, settings, and events
which were all created for my Star Wars RPG campaign which I ran during
High School from about 1987 - Spring 1991. This campaign centered mainly
around two groups of characters:
The first group was created by my brother, Scott, and officially
started off what I'll call the "Beyond Hyperspace" campaign. It was
the mysterious Val Tordec and the alien Schmiet Spronornum who
discovered the Biotech Warriors and their goal of the total
eradication of the Jedi. Their adventures took them through the
slums of Tantooine to beyond the Outer Rim. In fact, their
adventures have yet to end. But, where they left off, the fight
against the Empire was picked up by others. Dave Snyder, Justin
Pfeil, Rob Bonk, Brett Kowluski and many others made characters and
joined the battle. The bulk of my campaign centered mainly around
the unlikeliest of heroes - a small deal-maker of a Jawa named
Zaphod Bebelbox and an ex-football playing Jedi from the 'hood,
Garrett Sample.
I would have to say that their adventures were extremely exciting, odd and
unorthodox. But, that's the type of campaign I ran. In the few years since
their adventures came to a halt (primarily due to people moving away), I can
only wonder where Zaphod and Garrett have ended up. I would like to
thank everyone who was ever involved in my campaign, including the people
from my High School Conflicts & Simulations Club, some of whom I know I've
forgotten about. Also, I would like to thank the many Internet providers for
things such as pictures and logos, including Rudy Caine for his "Star
Wars" and have tried to credit pictures and such with people's names
when the creator/author is known.
My campaign started out just after the destruction of the first Death
Star, when the Rebellion was gaining momentum, and the Empire was more pissed
off than ever. This timeline is mainly due to the fact that West End Games
set the First Edition of Star Wars the Roleplaying Game during this period.
I can only wonder what has happened to the Borderguards, the Biotech Warriors,
the Mandalore Warriors, or the Highlord since then. Maybe some of them
made it to see the New Republic, or maybe not.
The material presented is all from the 1st edition rules of Star Wars
the Role-Playing Game. The main reason for this is that currently, I don't
own a copy of the 2nd edition rules, so everything has stayed in its
original form.
Beyond Hyperspace is best viewed with a high-end Silicon Graphics
workstation running Netscape, as everything else loads it kind of
slowly.
Enjoy!
