Even without looking at the officialish stats in the F&D beta, making anything planetary scale that is intended for use against personal scale targets is a very very bad idea. This thing's scale, skills, characteristics (which are broken btw, max 6, even for a rancor) and special abilities make it very easy for it to one-shot-kill a PC, and I mean "Dead" in the crit table kill, while being able to take plenty of damage.

Unless your players are able to resurrect the dead and all pack heavy repeaters, lightsabers, and flechette launchers with anti-vehicle loads... don't use this.

Thanks I was waiting on the F&D rule book was completed before purchasing it. I may have to postpone this idea until Latter.

Ghostofman,

Thank you for your input the desire was for it to be extremely challenging and something they could not defeat in direct combat. so you impression quite warranted. That being said i will definitely tone it down a bit if i use my own version. I will probably still stick to a high would threshold and soak. but will drop it down to planetary scale to make it less of a total power kill.

Thank you for pointing out that the cap is 6 I was thinking it was 7 and did not have my book when i was working on it.

Check out what FFG did with the Zakkeg in the free follow-on adventure from the AoR Beginner Game, Operation Shadowpoint . It fits the bill for a dangerous, incredibly hard-to-kill beast, and IMO serves as a fantastic reference point.
