So I am running a game which includes both AoR and EotE, and I am going to post this in both forums because it applies to both. I am making an encounter and I was wondering how to stat out Royal Guard and what talents to give them. I am okay on my Star Wars lore but I don't know a ton about these guys other than the wookiepeia I read. I am not 100% positive I want to use them (they will show up in response to the party unknowingly confronting a hand to the emperor). The party is strong and have earned about 200 xp so far in the campaign. I want them to be scary but I want them also to be correct since there are some starwars super fans in my group, but I don't want to ruin the surprise by asking them.

Can you help me?

Please and thank you.

They have stats for the Royal Guard in Force and Destiny Beta. If you aren't able to pick it up, the Royal Guard are all Nemesis level characters. A group of them would (and should) be terrifying.

They're covered on page 229 of the Force and Destiny Beta.

And in a one-on-one fight, they're quite apt to tear a low-XP PC a new one, especially if confronting in melee combat, as they have a few ranks of the Parry talent and the strain threshold to make good use of it. So even a PC with a lightsaber is going to be challenged when squaring off with just one of these guys. And odds are, a Royal Guard isn't going to be showing up entirely on their own.
