Never having prior experience with it, I was looking through some WEG material and was thinking about adapting the Minos Campaign for my Edge players. Would it be worth it, or is there something else that would be better?
Minos
It was many years ago, but I had a successful game based out of there - and was suitably impressed. The planets were fleshed out enough for my needs, the NPCs were solid and diverse. I didn't use the story arc as written - I used it as a basis and rewrote extensively - but I recall it being a good set of adventures. Plus it's a good Edge->Rebellion transition, too.
Top marks here!
I would gladly aid in the endeavor of converting WEG content to EOTE.
I ran this years ago, and it was great. Lots of interesting planets and NPCs, plenty of adventure ideas that work in addition to the campaign and a setting that's perfect for an EotE game. I highly recommend it.
I've been working on the same actually. A combination of Elrood Sector and Minos where they are connected by a strip of planets called the Narrows. They're right next to each other and offer a decent low-key setting. I just wish there were more planets in the Elrood sector detailed. I created a pocket called Lower Elrood...
Using the hacked trade rules from Tramps/Freighters that were posted in a different thread, I think it would be a great campaign. But I didn't get many takers on Rpol as I think folks are more interested in the cinematic style of game versus the trading/thieving/firefly-esque game.
The Elrood Sector is detailed in Planets Collection Omnibus or separately in Book II of the Planets Collection. Operation Elrood is an adventure set there that is pretty interesting.
I thought it would be a great location for low-scale, high-def EotE but apparently folks want their lightsabers... ![]()
Appreciate the feedback. Are there any other decent campaigns that have less of an involvement with the Rebellion? Or is that pretty universal among WEG?

Most of the campaign settings WEG published pretty much assumed the PCs would be part of the Rebellion. The exceptions being the Minos Cluster campaign and the Lords of the Expanse boxed set. Oh, and there was also the one titled "Secrets of the Sisar Run"; that one was a classic EotE campaign. I never got around to running it, but it's sitting on my shelf. And there was this one mini-campaign called "Supernova", which was basically 5 adventures strung together - I don't think that one cast the players as Rebels either, but I could be wrong.
