I’ll be putting some usable West End Games material here from time to time.
If you are ever in New York, let me know if you are free for a game.
The invite extends to Armada and Legion, but you can guess who will be playing The Imperials.
Star Wars West End Games
I LERVED WEG SW... never played much but ran some lengthy campaigns back in the day. As much as I like Saga Edition and FFG's Edition, WEG will always have a special place in my heart. I still have a foot and a half of WEG SW sourcebooks, and have referenced them even for my Saga and FFG SW games.

Orson Callan Krennic is a human male who served as Director of the Advanced Weapons Research Division of the Imperial Military up to the beginning of the Galactic Civil War.
Beginning his career as a Lieutenant Commander in the Galactic Republic, Krennic was promoted to Commander and later the fleet equivalence of Admiral upon formation of the Galactic Empire. Persistent and ambitious, Krennic was responsible for the development and construction of the Empire's enormous Death Star Superweapon.
An old friend of crystallographer Galen Erso, Krennic manipulated the brilliant scientist into researching synthetic kyber crystals under the pretext of researching sustainable energy. In reality, Krennic weaponized Erso's crystal research for the battle station's planet-killing Superlaser, hoping this would place him above his long-time career rival Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin and win the personal favor of the Emperor.
Krennic was also held accountable for security of the project, quelling rumors of the Empire's secret enterprise for the several decades of its assembly. For these many purposes he commanded a squad of Death Troopers, serving as both a sword and shield when the Director found himself in battle.
During the final stages of the Death Star's construction, the project faced potential exposure in the form of a talkative cargo pilot. Krennic restlessly sought to silence these rumors, ordering the first successful discharge of the Superlaser on the sacred moon of Jedha, where news of the technological terror had reached.
However, Krennic was ultimately unable to contain the project's secrecy, and the fledging Rebel Alliance soon launched an attack on the coastal planet Scarif where data tapes containing a complete technical readout of the station were being held. After Director Krennic failed to prevent the theft of these tapes, Grand Moff Tarkin deployed the Death Star in a continued effort to eliminate the compromised facility. Krennic met his end in this second blast of his own creation, an ironic culmination of his life's work. Soon afterwards, the Rebellion successfully exploited a vulnerability in the Death Star discovered through the stolen plans, detonating the reactor module and leading to the destruction of Krennic's achievement not long after his own downfall.

I’d say see you at GenCon but probability says unlikely. There are so many people there.
Lost some of my favourite WEG Star Wars books this past year. A time of reflection for games past.
How did you lose them, if i may ask?

Basement flooding. Not bad but my rpg book box was cardboard and on the floor. One of the few personal belongings to be hit.
DOH! That's why i prefer to keep boxes of books UP STAIRS if i can, not in basements.
