Is nanotechnology mentioned in the Rulebook?
Nowhere that I can find, but I am not known for my visual acuity.
It could just have the word nano in front of it for any piece of tech.
I can't recall any nano in the core rulebook either, nor is there any mention of it in the index.
Well given that star wars is 70's super high tech they likely will never mention it even if nano is how a lot of things are done.
The only nanotech that I can recall at all is in an old WEG module.

Not that I'm aware, but I think if you were living in the SW context, nano-technology would just be "technology". It's so new to us, and we haven't tapped its potential in any way yet, so we give it a special name. But eventually it will be just another tool in the kit and we won't call it that anymore.
whafrog, you are a genius.
I am pretty sure something about nanotechnology was mentioned in one of the EU books. And "nano-" is just a descriptor for something very small. No reason that descriptor wouldn't still be used in-setting.
Please forgive me if I am wrong as I am away from my book. But I do recall something about how droids can benefit from natural rest as they have self repair systems. I don't know if this is nano tech, but it might be.

I would never agree, but thanks

Right, as a descriptor. But right now it's the "next cool thing", like mass-produced steel in the 1800s and plastics in the 1900s. I guess all I meant is it wouldn't have the distinguishing importance we ascribe to it because every product would be based on it in some way or other. Probably couldn't have hyperdrives or antigrav or blasters without it. It would be commonplace.

According to wookeepedia the Star Wars universe does have nano tech. What little material there is does say that villains can use nano-bots for evil purposes, but I haven't heard anything about self-replicating nanobots going crazy and trying to take over in the Star Wars universe so no Gray Goo scenarios. Star Wars villains are more the "classic" type, not typically a "sci-fi" menace.

The details are hazy, but the Old Republic novel Fatal Alliance had a group of self replicating droids going crazy as far as I can remember. These were normal sized droids though so yeah, not grey goo.
