Hi I enjoyed the star wars novel death trooper by Joe Schreiber and wanted to know is there anything in Star Wars RPG that covers the undead or zombies.

Thanks

There are references to the brain-controlling Geonosian worms in Rise of the Separatists, and Ultimate Power has the Conjure force power that, at the highest levels, lets the user animate corpses.

When I used the (then-crashed) star destroyer from the novel in a session, I basically tweaked some rakghoul stats that I found here on the boards to be the undead troopers (and others).

Not specifically in terms of undead or zombies, in particular the Romero-slow style of zombies or even the more modern "quick" zombies.

The Conjure power has a high-end upgrade that can create what amounts to a Force-fueled zombie, but that's about the closest there really is. I suppose the Geonosian brain worms count, but they only seem to be able to reanimate dead Geonosians, so they read more as being puppeteer parasites than cinematic zombies.

It might be worth checking out Genesys, specifically the Realms of Terrinoth supplement, which has a Reanimate minion that is effectively a zombie, with an Undead quality that's largely the same as droids' mechanical being (don't need food/water/oxygen, immune to poisons & toxins, survive underwater and presumably vacuum), as well as an Undying special effect that lets the GM spend three threat from any PC's check to bring a defeated minion back into the fight.
