BETRAYAL
The Jedi Order has been annihilated. A brutal civil war has
decimated the Order, leaving the Republic on the verge of
inevitable collapse. However, in the most inhospitable corners
of the galaxy, another war is taking place.

The time of droids, ships, and soldiers has been left behind
to make the path for the real war. The one that resides in the
hearts of all living things against their own will. Light and Dark,
will merge in this terrible hour to shape the galaxy.

After Kattar Conclave, a few Jedi desperately try to reach their

definition in the maelstrom of conflict, clinging to life while
surviving in the heart of devastated worlds and trying to avoid,
from the shadows, the collapse of the galaxy.

The darkest hour
THROUGH POWER, VICTORY

By 4021 C.R.C., the Jedi Order had passed through one of the most turbulent
periods in its long history. Three galaxy-wide wars occurred in the short span
of fifty years, two of which had been orchestrated by fallen members of the
Order itself.

After these devastating conflicts, the Order had been diminished and
weakened to the point of becoming a shadow of its past. Not hundreds, but
thousands of Jedi were lost in the Great War of the Sith, the Mandalorian
Wars, and the Jedi Civil War.

Those conflicts erupted throughout the galaxy in such close succession that
they did not have enough time to rebuild their ranks; the Order simply could
not bear such great losses in such a short period of time.

The Order’s problems were compounded by the fact that the Jedi faced a
dramatic loss of knowledge from the destruction of vital centers of learning,
including the Great Jedi Library at Ossus and the Jedi Enclave at Dantooine.

Too many holocrons, records, and important stories had been scattered,
lost, or looted during the wars. As a result, there were too few experienced
Jedi to instruct aspiring Jedi and the libraries that served as a knowledge
base proved inadequate to train them. By the end of the Jedi Civil War, the
already exhausted Jedi Order had been virtually exterminated.

Less than a hundred members survived to rebuild it.

THE WAR IN THE SHADOWS

While the Galactic Republic was on the verge of collapse, the Jedi Order
began to slowly deteriorate. In addition, a redeemed Revan left the space
of the Republic, denying both the Republic and the Jedi the possibility of
gathering to recover all that had been destroyed.

3
 An intense atmosphere of disillusionment permeated the ranks of the Jedi,
as the few surviving members faced an unprecedented level of anger and
resentment from the citizens of the Republic who had begun to fear their
former heroes.

The Jedi themselves lost faith in the Order, as they began to wonder how and
why so many of their members had fallen to the dark side over the years.
The scars opened wider when even the members of the Jedi High Council
began to question the validity of their own teachings.
After the death of Darth Malak and the destruction of the Star Forge, the
infrastructure of the Sith Empire disintegrated. Most of the Dark Jedi who
have survived the war have annihilated themselves in internal struggles, but
hidden centers of power are suspected. It is currently unknown whether they
have leaders to guide them.

But they still exist. Their strategy has changed, they have abandoned total
warfare for a war in the shadows, which seems to have only one goal in
mind: the complete extermination of the Jedi.

This wave of events cannot be a mere coincidence.

THE ROAR OF THE BEAST

Their way of operating seems to follow a constant: they manipulate events

where nobody can observe them, with the same patience and caution that
characterized the Jedi masters, causing local conflicts on key planets of the
Republic, which in case they fall, will mean a quick and decisive end for the
Republic.

It is a dark and chaotic time for the Order. A steady stream of Jedi, including
the Jedi Watchers who oversee several distant worlds, have withdrawn,
resigned from the Order, or simply never been heard from again.

Entire congregations of Jedi have begun to disappear, leaving behind a

strange disturbance in the Force that only a few members of the Jedi Council
could recognize.

4
In time, the Jedi began to suspect they were being hunted. According to
the rumors, a number of the most powerful and influential Jedi Masters
were summoned not long ago to a secret conclave on the Miraluka world of
Katarr, under the pretext of discussing the emerging threat.

However, the conclave was not as secret as the Jedi thought. For that
information about was announced without discretion in an attempt to bring
whoever was attacking them out of the shadows. Then, the worst omens
came true.

How it happened is not well known, but the truth is that the planet now orbits
dead in space, as if it has been devoured to such an extent that life cannot
flourish there. Rumours indicate that no survivors were left.

It is now inhabited only by echoes, with no one to hear them.

BETRAYAL

The Jedi Order has died and if by any chance there are any members of the
Jedi Council left there is no doubt that they have followed the path of exile.
The few historians interested in this talk think that this movement could
transform the events of the Katarr Conclave into a false victory, making this
new threat be unmasked. By finally showing itself to the galaxy.

The setting that is intended to be described in Star Wars Betrayal takes

place a few weeks after the Kattar Conclave (4024 C.R.C), during the First
Jedi Purge. These are bleak and dismal times when, with great mistrust,
one can hear about the shattered lives of these survivors in exile. It is here
that the rumors are confused with the story, not one of heroes, but of those
who, eaten up by discouragement and apathy, prevented the collapse of the
entire galaxy from the shadows.

 The temptation of darkness
The Dark Side
“The evil began in a time before recorded history,
when the wizards became kings and then gods. It
all started when they began to use the powers of
the dark side. The weak have always been willing
to obey and those who learned the powers of the
dark side were quick to exploit this weakness
to make war. Again and again the dark side has
emerged, like a storm, devouring worlds and star
systems. Those who dominated it moved on to it.
They unleashed destruction, for no other reason
than selfish gain. They stripped nations, destroyed
civilizations. I am ashamed to say that most of
them were Jedi.”
The Light must always be lessened by the fires of
Darkness. Your Dark Side score starts at 1, 2, or
3 depending on the wars you have fought. When
you hear the voices of these teachings, when
you unleash your full potential, when you employ
universal and Dark Side powers you will feel its
temptation stronger. It is an instant that feels
unique and defining.
When this happens, do a Dark Side roll. This is the
core mechanic of Star Wars Betrayal. Throw your
Dark Side die, if the result is higher than your current
score, add 1 to it and interpret that moment. What
does every tragedy that cries out across the galaxy
say? Is there a much deeper truth in the Force?
Look at it through their eyes, not through some
flawed code.
The three foundations
“In our efforts, we have learned that life is not
rare. Rather, if given a chance, life will happen.
It is tenacious and aggressive, it seems to yearn
for existence. So it’s impressive to hear about the
Jedi code and the Sith code, but the Force is like
life, it takes so many forms that we wouldn’t even
know where to begin to describe it.”
Whenever the uncertain outcome of an action may
be interesting, a six-sided die (d6) is thrown and the
result is interpreted according to the type of die. In
Star Wars Betrayal actions are identified by three
dice:
THE KIND DIE
A single die if what you’re doing falls within the
basic abilities of any intelligent species.
THE RANK DIE
A die if what you are doing is part of the skills
performed within your rank in the Jedi order or
outside it.
THE DARK SIDE DIE
A die if you want to risk your bond with the light side
to succeed in the task at hand. If you get a higher
score on your Dark Side die than any other, roll a
Dark Side die as described in Dark Side.
7
The trail of the Force
“Because I hate the Force. I hate that it seems
to have a will, that it controls us to achieve some
kind of balance, when countless lives are lost. The
same one that deafens us, made us hear. The same
one that empties us, completes us. The same one
that blinded us, made us see. Seeing beyond the
Jedi and the Sith. It allowed us to see through the
eyes of an indomitable beast.”
As indicated on the next page, your highest die
shows how much information you get. Roll the
ones you think are appropriate and interpret the roll
according to the following:
If it’s a 1, you get the minimum to proceed, plus
two or three complications.
If it’s a 2, you get the minimum to proceed, plus
one or two complications.
If it’s a 3, you get the minimum to proceed, that’s
all.
In any case, a 1, 2 and 3 never represent a Failure,
only complications.
If it’s a 4, you get everything you would reasonably
expect from a Jedi.
If it’s a 5, you get everything possible, without
missing any details.
These scores represent the epitome of a Jedi’s
abilities.
However, there is one final result that not only
implies a victory for you, but the power that comes
with it and the teachings that those words carry:
8
If it’s a 6, You will discover all the information and
also be able to glimpse for a few moments sparks
of a knowledge that are far beyond all understan-
ding of the Force, that some beings, neither jedi nor
sith, consider unnatural. Do a Dark Side roll...
A manifest power
“Choose someone to succeed you and you’ll
succeed. Choose someone who is hungrier and
he will devour you. Choose someone faster and
you won’t dodge his sword on your back. Choose
someone with more patience and you won’t block
their blade in your throat. Choose someone more
cunning and you’ll have the sword to kill you.
Choose someone smarter and you’ll never know
your end. Despite these precautions, an apprentice
is essential. A Master without an apprentice is a
Master from nothing.”
Narrative effects are intrusions from both the
player characters and the side characters relevant
to their plots. They can never be as lacking in detail
as a simple “attack” or “kill”, but rather something
that concerns the circumstance in which the power
of the Force, an emotional conflict, a duel or even
all of these take place simultaneously. Remember,
in Star Wars Betrayal, the characters dominate the
Force and therefore would not be expected to have
great difficulty in dealing with armed groups with
blasters, small-time thugs or even some devious
lone bounty hunter. The real duel, the hardest task
is to survive their own misery and the impending
rumours of a Sith triumvirate in the shadows. That’s
why every time you can introduce a narrative detail
it unleashes the power of the Force.
His sword slides, leaving him defenseless for
another attack.
As I strangle with the Force I remember how he
ended my teacher’s life.
These are not the droids you’re looking for, and
that blaster does not belong to you.
The glow of the blade stuns my opponent and the
blow throws her several meters away from me.
In the struggle
“From such small things, from such critical points,
the universe and its pillars can be moved. That’s
why you have to be careful in everything you do,
and with every choice you make.”
When you do more than research, roll the dice as
above. If you roll your Dark Side die and your score
is higher than any other die, make a Dark Side Roll.
Again, your higher die shows how well it does what
you were trying to do. With a 1, you barely succeed.
With a 4, you are competently successful. With a 5,
you succeed and get an advantage of their situation.
With a 6, you succeed brilliantly, unleashing all your
unknown potential, the chains are broken, the Force
flows with passion and untamed, the words vanish,
leading the way to moments of pure expression, an
unfathomable burden.
In the defeat
“I can’t force you to listen to reason, I just hope
you grow beyond these childish and maniqueans
illusions of good and evil. You’ll discover by yourself
that plans are such a fragile thing, and life often
shatters expectations.”
If someone thinks the story would be more
interesting if your roll was a miss, they are the ones
who describe how you could miss and then, the’ll
roll a Failure Dice. The Failure Dice is never rolled
if you are investigating, as it is on that success that
the scenario continues from a path to another. If
the result of the Failure Dice is greater than any
of yours, you fail, in the manner they described
before rolling their dice. Otherwise, you succeed as
described in the previous sections.
Persisting
“Maybe Revan never fell. The difference between
a fall and a sacrifice is sometimes difficult, but I
feel that Revan understood that difference, more
than anyone knew. The galaxy would have fallen if
Revan hadn’t gone to war.”
If you included your Dark Side die in the roll and you
are not satisfied with the result, you may repeat the
roll (of all dice). If not, you may add it now and roll
it again. Then, look at the new result. As before, the
higher die indicates how well your character does.
If the result of your Dark Side die is higher than any
other die, make a Dark Side Roll, even if you have
already made one after the previous roll.
As a tip, don’t abuse this rule during in game
sessions, as a few good Dark Side rolls can move
your character foward to a premature descending
into the heart of darkness, leading to preposterous
scenes as the indiscriminate killing of newly arrived
padawans after letting a Jedi master die.
9
Support and disturb
“If you seek to help all those who suffer, you will
only weaken yourself and those around you. It is
the inner struggles, when fought and won on their
own, that produce the greatest rewards. Beware
of charity, lest you do more harm with open hands
than with a closed fist. ”
Cooperating: all those who cooperate roll their dice.
The highest die determines the outcome.
“The death of all living things? There is no victory
in such a thing. You can’t win like that. If you win,
may it be because you are right, may your vision of
the teachings be true.”
Challenging: Everyone who defy each other, rolls
their dice. Whoever gets the highest die wins. If
there is a tie, the one with the highest Dark Side
value wins. If this does not resolve the tie, it is rolled
again. As in the previous cases, if the Dark Side die
is the highest, make a Dark Side roll and if anyone
is not satisfied with their result, they may repeat
the roll using the rules already described.
Attributes
“Nice to see you here. I have a whole bunch of
theories about Jedi abilities, but I’m still running
out of Jedi.”
In Star Wars Betrayal, the attributes fulfill narrative
functions. They operate more as story gauges than
a few closed numerical values, this is reflected in
three factors:
10
POINTS OF NATURE
They are the definition of the nature of every being
that wanders in its grief. Their value ranges from
-2 (terrible) to +2 (masterful), passing through 0
(mediocre). They do not affect any roll.
POINTS OF TRAINING
They correct the destructive tendency of nature
itself. They do not affect the print runs on a regular
basis, except when the mechanics described in
Arrogance and Frustration are used (see below)
TEMPORARY MODIFIERS
They are a measure of the character’s current
situation. Positive scores represent an enhanced
state and negative scores represent a diminished
state. You should interpret them properly.
.
Arrogance/Frustration
“She has brought you truth yet you condemn it.
The arrogance! To have fallen so far and learned
nothing.”
Playeable characters can can take the control of the
scene based on their essence points by employing
one, two or three points of arrogance or frustration,
depending on their veterany. Arrogance increases
your limits of exigency causing frustration in the
process. Frustration generates a unique feeling of
deserving a unearned special destiny.
When you use one point of arrogance or frustration,
it is subtracted from your current score and added
to the other. You have to be very careful with this
power. It grants you what you desire, outwitting
your fate, but at what cost...
Ghalid Muari has 3 points for her veterany (she
served in the Jedi civil war), so she decides to split
those two points as follows: 1 point for arrogance
and 2 points for frustration.
POINTS OF ARROGANCE
When a situation arises and you don’t want to leave
any margin for luck in actions linked to attributes
with positive or zero points of nature, spend one of
your points of arrogance.
Ghalid Muari has 2 nature points in Dexterity. She
employs 1 point of Arrogance. Instead of risking
the course of the action to a dice roll, she decides
to overcome the tribulation according to her
Dexterity score (masterful in this case). However,
confronting her fate comes at a price in the eyes of
the galaxy’s writhing tragedy. There are watchful
eyes, ears accustomed to long eons in the void,
the Force is the mirror to an unknown evil; you.
Do a Dark Side roll, if you get a number greater
than or equal to the sum of your Dark Side score
plus your training points in the linked attribute
(minimum 1, maximum 6), you advance to the Dark
Side the number indicated by the nature points of
that attribute.
Ghalid Muari was a promising jedi padawan who
decided to put control over her untamed prowess.
She has 1 training point in that attribute. For
reasons beyond her control, her current Dark Side
is 3 and she has found the bounty hunter that
killed her teacher. He cannot escape. She uses the
point of arrogance from the previous example. He
describes the scene as follows: the crowd allows
her to hide, flanks the bounty hunter, and puts the
hilt of her lightsaber on the bounty hunter back.
Her Dark Side score plus his Dexterity training
points add up to 4. He rolls the die, gets a 6. His
lightsaber lights up, savoring the innocent flesh. It
is time to flee.
PUNTOS DE FRUSTRACIÓN
When a situation arises and you are interested
in colluding with the defeat in actions linked to
attributes with negative or null points of essence,
spend one of your points of frustration.
Ghalid has a score of -1 in Empathy essence points.
She states that she will use a frustration point.
The scene is described accordingly, (in this case
the character’s empathy is poor). However, going
a long way and failing carries a higher price than
simple defeat. Sometimes, the only experience
gained is knowing that absolutely nothing was
learned. This is one of the tropes of Star Wars
Betrayal, keep it in mind.
Do a Dark Side roll, if you get a number less than or
equal to the sum of your Dark Side score plus your
training points on the linked attribute (minimum
1, maximum 6) increase the number (in absolute
value) indicated by the essence points of that
attribute.
Ghalid’s words never seemed very confident,
unlike his actions. Negotiating a lesser penalty is
vital, but a sense of impotence is taking her over.
She uses the point of frustration and describes
the scene as follows: tomorrow she will be judged
in a fight to death, being deprived of food, water
and sleep the night before. Her Dark Side is 5, she
has no training points in Empathy. She rolls the
associated dice and gets a 4. She has been within
striking distance of fully embrace the Dark Side.
11
The path of war
“Think carefully on your choice... if you choose to
fight... if you choose war, you must know that it is a
path few turn from once the first steps are taken.
It carries with it a terrible price and, in the end,
you may find you have nothing left to sacrifice.”
If you try to defeat any user or spirit of the Force,
your character will move between life and death.
Try a different strategy instead. To fight against
something mundane, proceed as explained in the
Survival section. However, if you want to design
antagonists you must take into account that:
Their Dark Side score may increase but the number
of effects you introduce when using Force powers
is always 3. You don’t have to wait a turn between
using one Force power and the next. In fact, you
may use 2 Force powers in a single turn.
Nature points add up to a value of 6. No training
points are applied to antagonists. Neither do they
follow the rules of Arrogance and Frustration,
instead they are resolved as described in Support
and Disturb.
Their wealth is calculated by adding 2 to the nature
points of an attribute of choice. The inventory follows
the same rules as for player characters. Finally, it
adds as many Force powers as corresponds to the
character’s rank. Antagonistic characters cannot
have the rank of padawan.
12
The “best of four rounds” rule is used for combat.
Each round is represented by the turns of all the
characters involved in the scene. When the last turn
of the last assault is described, the combat is over
and the story must flow.
The Force in balance
“The Force is conflict. The jedi only comprehended
it partially. They’ve failed to understand the most
fundamental nature of the Force. That it’s conflict.
Your Dark Side score indicates how many narrative
effects you can introduce into a scene by using a
Force power, regardless of where it comes from:
If it’s 1 or 5, introduce a narrative effect.
If it’s 2 or 4, introduce two narrative effects.
Si es un 3, introduce three narrative effects.
This has the following interpretation: the Force
at its extremes does not manifest itself in all its
potential. However, when your Dark Side reaches 3
points, you will have reached equilibrium with the
Force.
Balance is necessary for the universe to prosper.
Without it, everything falls apart. If evil were
exterminated, the galaxy would become complacent
and passive, weakening its ability to maintain its
own state of peace. Evil could easily settle down
and return to annihilate and take over the entire
galaxy. However, if evil is allowed to overcome, then
the galaxy would be consumed in a wave of chaos
and death. Ashes to ashes.
So, when you portray your character remember: a
Dark Side score of 3 represents the coexistence of
Light and Darkness in the spirit of your Force user.
Redemption
“When you return on the steps of your torment,
you will see what happened to you. The weight of
all those deaths in the war within you and then,
you will feel a horrible emptiness, a burden that
cannot be forgotten, but accepted.”
When your Dark Side is 5, you are just one step
away from succumbing utterly to the power of the
darkness. Yet there is still hope, there is still conflict
within you. It can be reduced by following the path
of redemption and meditation: for example, by re-
treating to inhospitable places in the galaxy where
the Force can be denied, by honorable actions, by
mastering your emotions with peace and serenity,
or by destroying Sith holocrons. Whenever you wish
for something like this, throw your Dark Side Dice.
If you roll less than the value of your Dark Side die,
your bond to the dark side of the Force will be redu-
ced by 1. You may continue to reduce your affinity
with the Dark Side later, but it can never be less
than 1, as war has left an incurable scar on you.
A greater purpose
“Light is conflict. Darkness is conflict. They are the
Force made manifest. That is why it is so beauti-
ful, because those who survive that conflict come
to understand it more deeply. Their understanding
evolves, and that is purpose enough.”
At the end of a story arc, if a character has not died
or completely succumbed to the temptation of the
Dark side, he may have a greater understanding of
the evil that stalks the galaxy and wish to prepare
for an imminent confrontation. In case this is the
case, you should consult the sections correspon-
ding to a higher rank in the Jedi Order, in case you
belong to it, or to accede directly to the rank of Jedi
Knight/Lady or to increase the dominion of your
Force powers (as if it indicates later) if you were a
Force Adept. In any case it is advisable to dedicate
some session to represent this change, highlighting
the emotions and conflicts of the newly promoted
user of the Force. Alternatively, you can reduce your
current Dark Side score by one if justified.
Embrace the Darkness
“In a pale, old monster with a hoarse voice, scars
and yellow eyes. Like the one you see before you in
your reflection. However, you should know that the
power of the dark side does not weaken the prac-
titioner as much as those who lack it. The power
of the dark side is a disease no Sith would wish to
be cured of.”
When your Dark Side reaches 6, your character will
be irretrievably consumed. This is a special mo-
ment: all the attention is focused on your character
and how his will is broken. Act as you see fit: fight,
scream, run or collapse. Then think of a new cha-
racter or continue to play a potential Sith Lord.

Tearing the canvas
RUN A SESSION
If you’re reading this section you might be interested
in some tips on how to run Star Wars Betrayal
games. Your role will not be to guide, but to explore
the various dimensions of horror and provide the
tools necessary to make the game table fun.
In Star Wars Betrayal, as you’ll see from the tone
of the character creation and setting chapter, the
focus is on a rather uncertain, faded and tense era
as evil no longer needs to be shown to dominate the
galaxy. It is on the lookout, unbeatable, relentless,
always on the alert to strike the final blow that will
bring down the Republic and plunge the galaxy into
a future, albeit not necessarily evil, unknown, grey
and apathetic.
What you present to the gaming table is nothing
more than a canvas on which to trace their actions,
their footprints and tear it apart every time they get
a 6 to show them the unknowable horror that lies
on the other side. They are users of the Force, yes,
but even the Jedi order is dead. Perhaps it is time
they began to see snippets of reality from a different
perspective than the one demanded by a code that
ranges from the obsolete to the untenable.
You decide what situations will present themselves;
a personal vendetta, an evil that ravages a decisive
place to prosper. You play with his motivations and
the relationships between the characters. As long
as they live, there is conflict. Use that premise.
14
Encourage persistent discomfort. Don’t introduce
them to a colossal beast, instead, insinuate a
serious, greasy, almost inaudible whisper from
the bottom of the cerulean thicket of twisted,
leafy trees. When they travel through space, the
interior of the ship should feel more like a primitive
submarine than a safe means of transportation.
Uncomfortable for them, uncomfortable for you,
because you play with the same expectation as the
rest.
Don’t worry about relinquishing control of the
scenes to the gaming table, two heads make
more than one when they collaborate. Keep a
good channel of communication. When you want
to make a confrontational roll, state your outcome
and let the dice decide.
Remember, the Dark does not present itself as that
hegemonic iron fist evil. No, the Darkness dwells
in everything that frightens us, in what we would
fear to lose, that which can make us lose control,
Sometimes it will be more evident, sometimes not
so much. Sometimes it will show itself frequently,
and sometimes as many as small hits of the same
piano key from the end of an unlit corridor. Until
another different key sounds.
A LOOK INTO THE ABYSS
While Lovecraft was a superb craftsman of horror
and Star Wars films a good foundation of space
opera, they share a myopic view of life. Both often
fall into opinion biases marked by the society of the
moment.
When you play, look beyond binary and manicheans
schemes. If you do, you will discover that you have
more stories and more interesting stories to tell.
 The missing scriptures
Play it online
The stories of Star Wars Betrayal are built through
the actions of the characters throughout the darkest
hour of the galaxy.
These stories will fall safely into the jaws of oblivion.
But it is possible to avoid, at least partially, the loss
of some of them in the corners of the HoloNet.
It is recommended that an episodic format be
used for seasonal content. In each episode the
protagonists of each story write respecting the
order of action in the same way as in forum role-
playing games. When the plots of those episodes
end, they close one season giving way to the next,
thus dynamically building an intra-story that runs
parallel to the events that take place officially in the
canon of the expanded universe in the years 3952-
3951 ABY.
The following sections include the fundamental
aspects of the rules that will be used for the
construction of stories.
Character creation
The same process described in the game manual
is followed. Instead of using the basic character
sheet of the game (see page 18), a template will
be used according to the online media or platform
to fill in the sections regarding their characteristics,
relationships, motivations and other aspects.
Dice rolls
When it is necessary to make a roll, use some
application, either external or specific to the
platform (forum, google drive, discord, etc) and
indicate the number of dice you want to throw. From
left to right, the first will be your Species Dice, the
second your Rank Dice and the third your Dark Side
Dice. The rules regarding the interpretation of roll
results do not change from the manual. Accompany
your message with your results.
Combats
The fights are resolved, unless you wish to extend
them, under the mechanics of “best of four rounds”.
Each round is represented by the turns of all the
characters involved in the scene. When the last turn
of the last assault is described, the combat is over
and the story must flow.
Narrative effects
As indicated in the manual, it is recommended to
use detailed narrative effects with the use of Force
powers. For example, describing with a “I push it”
using the Push force power is a poor narrative
effect, instead, “I push trying to direct your body
to the busiest place in the canteen” is a good use.
In fact, “I push him trying to direct his body to the
busiest part of the bar so I can have some time to
sneak around in the crowd” is a masterful use.
15
Sometimes the narrative effects will be easier to
use, sometimes not so much. Don’t worry, the story
must flow. It escapes all logic to impose that the
story always stays at its peak, without stops or
routine situations without, apparently, any kind of
relevance.
Narrative structure
As explained in the introduction, no informants
are sent on missions. The characters are Jedi in
exile, their backgrounds, their motivations and
relationships with the rest of the group already
offer an interesting story to tell among them. The
structure of each episode, unless you want to
approach it in a different way, will usually be as
follows:
Furthermore, playing characters always put their
picture aligned to the left. Non-playing characters
will always have their picture aligned to the right.
This rule may change from a play group to another.
In the next page you will find a scene between two
characters that serves as an example to illustrate
the flow of actions in a Star Wars Betrayal play
session. Although it is represented in a web format,
it can be perfectly applied for face-to-face game
experience.
Written in stone
If after completing a story you want it to be saved
as part of the Star Wars Betrayal events, simply
send a document to the following email address:

1. The game director poses a situation in the same exilesandbetrayers@gmail.com

a hook that which unites the group.
3. The characters are in that scene and the plot
moves forward.

When the episode is considered to have come

to an end, it is closed. Now there are some
recomendations I have seen in some rpg adventures
played on different internet forums:

Players must write at least once a week. If this

rule is not met, on the third unjustified fault your
character will become a non-player character.
Thoughts must be in italics and in quotation marks.
Dialogues must be in bold and between dashes.

16
Scene layout
Then I confront his visage, of whom had been the best friend of my former master,
until the day she sold him to those Sith killers just for their financial gain. I feel my
pulse quickening with the same power as a thousand star destroyers ready to prey
on a helpless being. But it is only a slip of my imagination that I try to contain by
materializing into a verb and form, such swirling thoughts.

--You killed my master. I need to at least know why.- I mean without hesitation.
My voice trembles, my body may not respond, but my thoughts are quite focused.
“There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.”

The crimson-eyed blue face advances serenely over the battered remains of that
ship. She takes a firm step and does not hesitate to spread his memories through
the harshness of his words.

-They weren’t Sith, the Jedi Order commissioned me to do it. Many influential Jedi
were publicly disgracing the code dangerously. Besides, he wasn’t just your mas-
ter... he was your father.- She says as he dust off his uniform.

-No, you are a liar- I cry out in disbelief at his words. -It is time for you to pay for your
crimes.- I sentence while I position my lightsaber on my back straight up in the Ni-
man form with the intention of running quickly towards her and, through the Force,
pushing her towards me to immobilize her legs with a precise cut. “And if it’s true
that he was my father, I can’t let you run away. It ends here.”

17
One die (kind) for being human, another die (rank) as a jedi sentinel... may a Dark Side die would fit well
too? In this case it has a very important weight. The human’s motivation is “Hunt down the one who killed
my master” so if she decides to use the Dark Side die and it turns out to be the highest value, by rolling
this die again she can increase her Dark Side score by 4 or more. (see further Familiar Faces). Here we
will roll all three dice.

#1 Kind die : 2
#2 Rank die : 3
#3 Dark side die : 5

Both the Kind die and the Rank die are below 4. However, the highest value die has been the Dark Side
die, with a formidable 5. For this case let’s assume that the Jedi Sentinel’s Dark Side score is 3, so the
die roll has been higher than the fomer score.

Whenever this happens the die roll is automatically made afterwards to interpret the next move of the
character in full detail.

#4 Dark side : 2

The score obtained was lower (2) than the current Dark Side score indicated above (3). The interpretation
of this is that while the Jedi Sentinel is driven by the emotions of the moment, she uses them as a tool
and does not succumb to them. Of course, another interpretation is possible as long as it does not involve
an approach to the Dark Side.

-Your anger shows me that you were also a danger to the Jedi order. Even if you
can master it, it will eventually overpower you like it did your father.- She spits
severely as she draws his lightsaber without turning it on, without stooping, main-
taining an extremely elegant and straight pose.

After uttering these words, her cloak, devoured by the debris of the dying destroyer,
falls, revealing a small arsenal of thermal detonators and a cyan dagger that glows
slanderously and humiliatingly in the darkness, feigning a humility that is not her
own..

18
This character is an important NPC who dominates the Force, so she follows the rules of The Path of
War (see that section). Remember the results of the Jedi Sentinel (2,3 and 5) for a Dexterity action (she
was speeding towards her opponent). This Chiss is a Jedi Weapon Master (expert in the Makashi form as
suggested by the description). So the stoic chiss weaponmaster must roll a 5 or higher to dodge or block
the attack. He chooses to block and throw.

#1 Kind die : 6
#2 Rank die : 1
#3 Dark side die : 2

The chiss weaponmaster manages to block the attack without any problem. Since she has rolled a 6 on
a die, she must roll a Dark Side die (npcs can also see their Dark Side score altered and succumb) to see
what happens next. Let’s skip that part to illustrate another more interesting situation.

-Why did you kill him? ¿Why did you want to separate us?- Tears begin to flow
violently. They are evaporated by the cross presence of two lightsabers. The Niman
form is insufficient for me, but the presence of its triggers makes me even more
alert. I concentrate and try to use a powerful force push to throw her as far as
possible.

Let’s assume that in the opposite roll the Jedi sentinel is successful. It’s time to
see how many narrative effects it can introduce. The first is his Dark Side score;
he adds three additional narrative effects by using that power. Also, because of
his rank in the extinct Jedi order he had access to a form of the Force (Power), so
he adds 3 more effects. Making a total of 6.

I break the blockade by throwing a powerful wave that launches her twenty meters (1), colliding in her
trajectory with different rusty structures (2) and dropping several detonators (3). Some of them have
activated from the blow creating several unstable breaches(4), now she clings, as she can, to the edge of
a metal plate to avoid falling into the void (5).

When everything seems to be over, there is still a narrative effect remaining. Narrative authority proposes
the following: What if on the verge of the fall she shout -I would never let your father sell you to the Sith.
Not my daughter.- All the players involved agrees (6). The course of the scene would continue as shown
above until it is resolved or concluded whatever the situation.

A fading galaxy
-I dismissed the Jedi Code. It was a big mistake on my part, because to
forge the future, I must first break with the past.-

You feel a soft, velvety breeze blow through your body as you close your eyes
trying to remember your own words.

The teachings born from the Mandalorian wars and the Jedi civil war manage
to violently open up before you. Your lightsaber.

You don’t carry it with you.

You search relentlessly in your luggage, you don’t seem to care what you are
doing, you can’t even tell if you are on the verge of a wasteland, waiting in
the passenger line of a crowded refugee ship, in the room assigned to you
in a palace, at the doors of a recent model of space freighter, or facing the
impatient look of a colossal battle beast lying in an astroport, in a roughed
desert, or who knows in what kind of desolate skies.

All those details are completely indifferent to you, right now none of that
matters without your lightsaber.

Your weapon is what defines you, but maybe you get to it by trying to
remember who you are. You manage to concentrate, at least this once. After
a few seconds, you finally remember...

-It’s long since stopped being a symbol of hope.- you recite in your head, as
if you were trapped, buried and alone.

A cold sweat begins to flow from the furrows in your forehead and slips down
in panic like a stampede into your arms. In your head there is only space for
one memory, for now. A fragile lesson sung from the deepest cracks of your
jaded heart.

-All beings crave what they do not have. Do not pretend you’re different.
Do not forget that.- you think as you contemplate the worn-out memory of
your lightsaber.

25
 Familiar faces
After remembering the fate of your lightsaber, the ghosts of the past begin
to haunt you. Confusing images of disjointed memories. Hands that wield
power with serenity, chains that are broken with passion, bringing peace to
you. Hands that serve the Force by breaking its chains and those of death.
fulfilling your reborn.

But that was a long time ago. Now you’re nothing but a dead end, a void
where his will can be denied. In the face of a wave of apathy, you close your
thoughts with the intention of unearthing all those memories. Out of the
mist, a flash emerges. You confront your old face, your old ways and finally
your intentions that seem to be antique, useless and anachronic.

-What do you see?- whispers a pale voice from a myriad of unfamiliar faces
reflected in the infinity of a well-known visage.

A shadow that thinks in terms of politics, secrets and persuasion.

Its goal is to go through life and make people listen to what its has
to be said. (page 28)

The ashes of an extraordinary mental aptitude focused on every

detail, meditation, calm, rationality and harmony. Now, a disrupted

to be subdued. (page 30)

The fears of a civilization denied to isolation and subordinated to

a legendary fidelity, to tranquility and to the fiercest combat yet
to come. (page 37)

The weakened jaws that no longer whisper ready to win the favor
of their goddess the Teller in the great hunt. Now they just scream
and grunt. (page 38)

A mark of broken identity, far removed from the rich ancestral

history of non-violence of a heterogeneous people, slaves to the
vices of others. (page 39)

A tree cut down and gnawed to its roots that now wanders about
with a debt of life denied, prone to devastating and untammed
outbursts of anger. (page 40)

An independent and confident attitude transformed into the chaos

of bellicosity and competition, the downfall of those who seek to
hurt what they love. (page 41)

The Force in the exile
Each title (inside and outside the
Jedi Order) grants a main attribute,
certain training points and a series
of feats. However, the ways of the
Force are a mystery, and it would
not be surprising to hear of a
master-at-arms who has laid down
her lightsaber, a Jedi consular
who awaits the call of battle, or a
custodian who shows off his wealth
gained during the wars.
Each rank will give to your character
training points to distribute among
your attributes and a series of feats
that are divided between combat
forms, force forms and force powers.

 The Call of the Force
The Jedi temple on Coruscant is empty. The waterfalls of the great Hall of a
Thousand Fountains are still flowing, as condolences for the fallen Jedi and
those who wander lost without training. A vague description is enough to
give you an image of what it would be like to walk through its long and wide
unpolluted corridors. A place permeated by a total absence of desire and
fear, which now seems indifferent to the eyes of others. A monument, which
like you at this moment, harbours more ruin than dignity. You contemplate
your face once again in those pale waters of an almost transparent milky
colour. Then you remember. A drop falls, its echo is felt. First a few feet
away, then across the room, the temple follows, and in a matter of minutes
it has been felt across the galaxy. He was calling you, to indoctrinate you in
uncertain ways and manners, to transform you from within. In the end you
made a strange decision. A unique choice.

Did you attend to the call of the Force?

-I flatly refused.- (page 55)

-I followed the call during the Jedi civil war.- (page 57)

-I followed the call during the Mandalorians wars.- (page 59)

-I followed the call during the Great Sith War- (page 65)

in your home, if you found one in the galaxy. Light and Darkness are the fuel
of the Force, which burned in you like an untamed beast. Today you drink
only from the warm waters of apathy. You may not have answered the call of
the Force, but you have always followed his trail.

Requirement
You didn’t join the Jedi Order, no matter how many wars you lived through.

Description
Force users from all species with powers and abilities. In combat, they often
use weapons imbued with the power of the Force: whips, vibro-swords, their
own fists or even a blaster. Those who have not undergone formal training
by the Jedi are considered as adepts of the Force and usually come from
primitive planets.

PADAWAN
A title to remind them of what they were not. The arrogance! (page 71)

You remember the first warnings. A life without reward, without remorse,
without regret. It was the lies that laid the foundation for the path they laid
before you without choice. You never really had one. You gaze at your echo
in the waters of the Jedi temple and hear the whispered stories of good and
evil. They warned you that it would be a hard life, but that in the end you
would discover who you were when the answer was always there. No one.

Requirement
Your training began during the Jedi civil war.

Description
When the Jedi Order still existed, it was the title given to force-sensitive
teenagers who had begun to be trained. After reaching a certain age, they
became apprentices to a Jedi Knight or a Jedi Master, taking their first steps
on their individual training. They used to accompany their masters as part
of their training.

Those who kept justice were the same monsters they vowed to fight.

You squeeze the hidden memory of your lightsaber, you try to feel the fire
of the flame that burned forever in those who kept peace and justice across
the galaxy. The Force still whispers like the echo of the mistakes that were
made in an abyssal chorus. The cries and tears fade into the shadows as
the light of truth is brought. These are the words of those who trained you.
Though they never told you, they had seen and felt through the Force the path
on which you had already begun to take several steps before that question.

Requirement
Your training began during the Mandalorian wars.

Description
The rank of Jedi knight was held by those who, being members of the Jedi
Order, had completed their training and passed the Jedi trials. With full
membership in the Order, these individuals received tasks directly from the
Jedi Councils and strove to find peace and the maintenance of the Galactic
Republic.

 JEDI GUARDIAN (page 71)

A Jedi Guardian was a Jedi whose duty was to fulfill a mission entrusted by
the Jedi Council. The nature of these missions varied greatly, from protecting
representatives of the Republic, to attending to distress signals, to freeing a
system or occupying it.

His expertise was focused on combat. The Guardians opted more for the use
of the saber and physical training than for the Force. Many were noted for
carrying a double or two-bladed sword. Their traditional color was blue, but
they were free to choose their own color.

A Jedi Consular (also known as a jedi seer) was, like all Jedi, an expert in
battle, but rarely went into combat, they prefered to study the mysteries of
the Force. The consuls were the first scholars, diplomats and seers of the
Order.

Instead of developing their connection to the Force through a physical

approach, the Jedi Consuls did it through the Force. Traditionally, they carried
a green light saber, but, like all Jedi, they were free to choose their own color
for a lightsaber.

The Jedi Sentinels were a branch of the Jedi Order that sought a balance
between the two extremes of the Jedi, the Jedi Consulars, and the Jedi
Guardians. They possessed adequate combat skills and a practical knowledge
of the Force geared toward withstanding outside mental influences.

Their specialized training made them ideal candidates to be sent to

remote regions of the galaxy, to uncover the truth and investigate unusual
concentrations of the Force. They traditionally handled yellow blade
lightsabers, although this was not a formal rule.

A master without an apprentice is a master of nothing.

It was a sound, like power, like a heart, but with a voice. Your time to hide
your presence was coming to an end, and you needed to increase your tra-
ining. When the time came, you opened yourself to more risky techniques
and higher mysteries. You still remember, only you knew the path you would
take, no one could choose for you which rivers you decided to flow.

Requirement
Your training began during the Greath Sith War.

Description
It was the highest rank a Jedi could achieve. It was a requirement to be
qualified for membership in the High Jedi Council on Coruscant, the main
source of communication between the Jedi and the government of the Old
Republic. This was a title reserved for individuals who had demonstrated
exceptional devotion and skill in the Force.

 WEAPONMASTER (page 71)

It’s the battle that moves you, challenging the enemy in a single combat. Such
is the way of the greatest Jedi warriors, the Jedi Weaponmasters. Respected
both within and outside the Order, it was a title given to Jedi Guardians
who dedicated themselves to the study of physical combat with the Force.

They spent years perfecting their skills in the art of their chosen
weapon: lightsabers, double-bladed lightsabers, batons, whips, flails,
firearms and even their own body as a weapon. It was all they had
to do to be considered Masters of Weapons by the Jedi High Council.

To investigate the mysteries of the galaxy, to seek out injustice and bring it to
light, that was the path of the Custodians in the times of Ulic Qel-Droma and
Exar Kun. It was a title given to the Jedi sentinels who operated as keepers
on specific planets or systems, watching over diplomacy.

By studying special Force techniques, the custodians were able to work

undercover, subtly manipulating political events in a benevolent manner,
based on their familiarity with local governments, without having to inform
the Councils before making every decision.

and emotions of the living beings that were part

with compassion, altruism, introspection, healing,
mercy and benevolence, while the dark side was
the element aligned with hate, fear, greed, anger,
aggression, jealousy and malevolence.

THE FOUR PHILOSOPHIES

The last four facets of the Force were defined by

prominent Jedi philosophies.

The Living Force was concerned of all the living

beings. The Unifying Force was an understanding of
all space and time. The Cosmic Force was dedicated
to the study of life after death. The Physical Force
was devoted to interact with a external reality.

71
Combat forms
These fighting forms were necessary to compensate for or take advantage
of the unique attributes of the lightsabers, in particular the strange balance
of the weapon, the weight on the hilt and the cut. The most prominent
lightsaber-oriented fighting styles were the seven forms of the Jedi Order
detailed below.

COMBAT FORMS

FORM I DETERMINATION (SCHII-CHOO) FORM II CONTENTION (MAKASHI)

When you are outnumbered, you can add an extra When facing one or two lightsabers, introduce 1
narrative effect. narrative effect and remove 1 against blasters.

It was the most basic form of combat, and from which
most others are derived. A perfect multi-purpose
form, specializing in fighting multiple opponents,
thanks to its wide sweeping movements, was
designed to disarm or slightly injure, but not kill.
Trainees used to be taught this form first because
of its versatility. Although it is really quite simple, in
fact, it could actually kill.
Disarm: A blow directed to the opponent’s weapon,
in an attempt to tear it out of her hands or even to
destroy it.
Sarlaac sweep: A broad-based attack in which the
duelist strikes multiple enemies.
This form was suited to fight in a final duel against
one or two opponents with lightsabers. It required
precision, serenity and a confidence bordering on
arrogance. It was suitable for experienced duelists.
It was a very elegant form that required extreme
precision, and was based on graceful attacks that
allowed, for minimal effort defense, carrying the
lightsaber with one hand for more freedom and
fluidity in combat. However, this form of combat
was ineffective in a multiple confrontation and
practically useless against long-range weapons.
The starting position of this form was a low guard in
one hand, with the lightsaber at a downward angle
to the side of the swordsman.
Contentious opportunity: This technique allows to
recognize and exploit an opening in the adversary’s
defense before moving quickly to strike the exposed
enemy.

Makashi retaliation: The duelist slightly alters

the angle of an opponent’s attack before quickly
retaliating with a counter attack.

COMBAT FORMS
FORM III RESILENCE (SORESU)
When facing blasters introduce 1 narrative effect
and remove 1 against lightsabers.
It was considered one, if not the most defensive
of all forms. It requiered movements very close to
the body with the purpose to achieve the greatest
protection without consuming much energy. The
aim was to expose the practitioner’s body as little as
possible, so if the user of this form was well trained,
she would be almost invincible. The Soresu form
was more effective at reflecting blaster attacks,
requiring quick reflexes and many movements to
overcome the rapid firing of the guns. Those who
practiced this form resisted any attack patiently
until their opponent made a mistake, at which point
they would attack aggressively. Though they did not
seek to injure, even in the midst of a battle they
would attack only when it was strictly necessary.
Circle of shelter: A protected area is created around
the user and their allies, making it difficult for
enemies to penetrate this defense.
Deflecting slash: The momentum generated by the
deflection of an enemy missile is redirected to an
attack from an adjacent target.
FORMA IV AGRESSION (ATARU)
When facing one opponent, introduce 2 narrative
effects and remove 2 against blasters.
It was a fast, aggressive and useful form of combat
in one-on-one, but paled in close quarters or
prolonged combats. Those who actively practiced
this form of combat were always on the offensive,
attacking with broad, fast and powerful punches
and invoking the Force to assist them in their
movements and attacks. By allowing the Force
to flow, they were able to overcome their physical
limitations and perform amazing acrobatics.
All Force powers that involve exceeding normal
standards of movement, speed, and agility need
to be incorporated within the style training to be
successful in its maestry. This form was common
among those who have opted for exceptional Force
mastery over combat.
Crushing blow: This maneuver aims to quickly hit an
opponent without giving, under any circunstances,
any chance to react.
Swarm strike: Numerous short attacks are directed
at the opponent mercilessly in the midst of the
battle rush.
73
COMBAT FORMS
FORM V PERSEVERANCE (SHIEN)
When facing blasters introduce 2 narrative effects
and remove 2 against lightsabers. It needs form III.
This was the best way to reflect blaster shots so that
they could return to the opponent. When fighting
on the defensive, this form employed typical
techniques of the Soresu form and occasionally
some of the Makashi, constantly and efficiently
making counter-attacks, but blocking and repelling
attacks in a more brutal manner, even employing
mere brute force to knock down an opponent and
perform demanding stunts. However, this was not
usual, due to the pursuit of direct frontal combat to
the detriment of other more subtle tactics. At the
same time, and despite its advantages, the style
adopted in this direct form makes it simple and
predictable, and extremely vulnerable to a more
patient and flexible fighting style.
Blade curtain: It protects the former user against
gunfire and manages to redirect some of the
incoming explosions.
Shien deflection: This technique allows to deflect
every gunshot and explosion away from you while
jumping to an opponent.
74
FORM VI MODERATION (NIMAN)
In any situation, introduce 1 additional narrative
effect.
This form attempts to balance all aspects of the
lightsaber combat, creating fighters with moderate
knowledge in each of the individual aspects, without
mastery in any of them but competent for all. This
combat form is used by many Jedi diplomatics,
who first try to use their political strategies and
negotiate, to reach a peaceful agreement with
minimal bloodshed. Even with that, this form should
not be underestimated under any circunstance.
Mastery of this form allowed to deal fluently a
group of enemies and eliminate them one by one.
In addition, this form was associated with the use
of two lightsabers and favored the use of Force. Not
surprisingly, rhis is why it became Revan’s favorite
form above all.
Come closer: The duelist put her opponent, through
physical confrontation or using force powers, and
places her in the path of her sword.
Push cut: Putting an opponent before pushing her
aside with the Force. It was used as a final, decisive
and smart movement.

Formidable in both attack and defence, this form

was perhaps the most dangerous for the user,
as the demanding and constant concentration it
required and its similarity to the Sith fighting style
caused many of its users to fall to the dark side.
It was based on the extensive exploit of all kinds
of skills: fast lightsaber movements, hand-to-
hand combat techniques that combine strength
and speed, a untamed use of the lightsaber to
absorb the blaster gun fire increasing the power
of the blade... everything to deal with any possible
situation or circumstance in combat.

The Force was used to enhance the user’s physical

capabilities: tumbling, jumping, running... which
allowed prolonged combats. It was also used
for throwing objects (usually medium size or
compressed, although large objects could also be
thrown), or its use as a shield.

75
Force forms
The force forms were meditative battle postures that served as alternatives
to the various combat forms. The Force Forms increased the power of the
Jedi to sense and control the Force at the expense of physical ability. They
were popular among Jedi Consulars and those who depended more on the
Force than on lightsabers, even in battle.

MASTERING THE POWER WITHIN

Pay special attention to the force forms that you will focus on during the
battle. Shifting from one combat form to another is a flexible and elegant
move. Alternating between two (or even more) force forms requires a wise
and diligent dominance of your force powers.

FORCE FORMS

FORM I CHANNEL FORM II AFFINITY

It reduces the time of use between one Force power
and the next during a combat. If this form is kept
active, wait until your next turn to use another Force
power.
This basic meditation technique was mastered by
all Jedi, being the only form of the Force generally
used by non-consulars. In her days of service, Master
Arren Kae even described this technique as a gift,
as it provided a modest boost to the connection of
every sentient being of the Force without exposing
them to vulnerabilities.
Introduce an additional narrative effect by using
Force powers and put a temporary modifier of +1
on the linked attribute on every turn. If this form is
kept active, wait until your next turn to use another
Force power.
It was the ideal way to keep a constant focus on
the Force. It allowed to rest on its use, even in the
fiercest fight, in a way that would normally only be
possible thorugh a peaceful meditation and away
from distractions. This was a form of resistance
for the Jedi; it allowed them to remain on guard
while an enemy spent all his energy and eventually
became tired. For this reason, it was used more
effectively in alternating cycles with other forms
of the Force, regaining strength before launching a
counterattack against a tired opponent.

FORM III POTENCE
Introduce 3 additional narrative effects by using

It was offensive by nature, increasing the ability to
attack others with the Force. By attacking enemies
with more force, the user quickly left the sensation
of exhaustion. It was common among practitioners
of the dark side, as they were often manifestations
of hatred or other dark emotions. Even so, a jedi
could use this form to decisively resolve a conflict if
it was a priority to finish it immediatly.
FORM IV MASTERY
Introduce 2 additional narrative effects by using
powers of force and put a -1 time modifier on the
linked attribute. If they are universal or dark side,
roll the dark side die.
You must wait a turn to use another Force power.
Despite its name, it was not limited to those with
great experience. It enhanced abilities over an ex-
tended period of time in order to amplify the effects
of the Force powers. However, it severely weake-
ned the energies and limited the ability to defend
against other Force powers. Those who were not
very proficient in the Force took this form, to appear
more proficient than they actually were.

TAMPERING THE FORCE
The knowledge of the Force has remained intact

a few years after the end of the Jedi civil war,
there are no more Jedi, no more Sith. A strange,
amorphous and unorthodox mix of philosophies
converge in one last cry for survival.
But they all have one thing in common, their tragedy
is written through the echoes of the Force. Light
and Darkness, but in a new way.
82
If you want to create your own Force powers you
only have to think of a quasi-magical effect and
grant it levels of potential. At a higher level, that
power grows.
As you have seen, some powers are up to tier 3,
others are up to tier 2 and someones are interesting
enough to have just one tier of proficiency. If you
want to design a new Force power keep that in
mind. Perhaps the effect you introduce at tier 2 is
already more than enough to finish making that
power, either because of its description or because
the effects it introduces are powerful enough.
Follow this structure when designing them:
A yet nameless force power (LINKED ATTRIBUTE)

concise but evocative.
Tier 1: A clear manifestation of such power, a
more (or less) narrative effect under certain

The wealth represents the extent of each Force user inventory in the exile.
Everyone seeks their own ways to hide, whether in deprivation or in opulence.
The level of wealth is determined as indicated in each species, being the
minimum 1, giving the following inventory:

Poor (Wealth 1)
Apathy is worse than death. You don’t produce and you only consume.
You get: 7 objects (lightsaber, crystals, items and clothing).

Survivor (Wealth 2)
You’ve managed to produce enough to survive.
You get: 9 objects (lightsaber, crystals, items and clothing).

Comfortable (Wealth 3)
Comfort is a delicate truce with the past, don’t forget that.
You get: 12 objects (lightsaber, crystals, items and clothing).

Well-off (Wealth 4)
Jedi, Sith, The Force, they’re all just stories to scare the fearful.
You get: 16 objects (lightsaber, crystals, items and clothing).

Rcih (Wealth 5)
All that codes were a mere exercise of power, because there is only power.
You get: 20 objects (lightsaber, crystals, items and clothing).

86
Equipment
Your character’s equipment will be the sum of
the abbilities in which her kind is valued and her
wealth, which adds a greater degree of detail.
Choose carefully, because it’s the only thing you
have left to lose to completely disassociate yourself
from a material galaxy where the Force is mortally
wounded.
When it comes to follow some trails, doing ordinary
routines, using the Force to feel its echoes, or being
seduced by the whispers of an untamed power
you never imagined, your equipment has great
relevance.
CHOOSE YOUR LAST BELONGINGS
When you create your character, you determine her
starting equipment based on her wealth level. This
includes a number of clothes and a set of objects
to choose from, such as lightsabers, crystals, items
and clothing, limited by a maximum number that
varies according to her wealth.
For example: If your character is poor, she will
have a garment to determine and all the possible
combinations that her maximum number of objects
allows. In this case, the maximum is 6, so you
could have, for example, 6 inoperative lightsabers
because you don’t have crystals, or take a balanced
option of 1 lightsaber, 3 crystals and 2 utensils.
Your lightsaber
Designed an elegant combat and ceremonial rites,
the lightsaber was a distinctive weapon, whose
image was strongly linked to the mythic Jedi Order
and its opposite, the Sith.
For a jedi, the lightsaber represented the values
of the Order: the defense of peace and justice
throughout the galaxy. This perception has lasted,
despite the many conflicts, until the end of the Jedi
civil war, when even the masters of the Order began
to doubt their own teachings.
The lightsaber consists of a blade of pure plasma
emitted from the hilt and suspended in a force
containment field. The field contained the immense
heat of the plasma, protecting the wearer, and
allowed the blade to maintain its shape. The handle
was almost always manufactured by the wearer to
suit her needs, preferences and style. The hilt was
also constructed similar to her master’s lightsaber
as a mark of respect. In the hands of an expert of
the Force, the lightsaber was a highly respected
and feared weapon. To wield a lightsaber offered
an eerie sense of respect and confidence, as well
as masterful skills and attunement to the Force.
CRAFTING A LIGHTSABER
Depending on your wealth, choose a crystal that
marks the color in which the blade shines and two
crystals that meet your needs as a Jedi in exile
when creating your first lightsaber.

 Clothing
The clothing of someone living in exile takes on a variety of forms as
surprising and heterogeneous as life in the galaxy. Various types of materials
and shapes used by the intelligent species to cover their bodies. In addition
to their protective functions, clothing was also used for socialization: on
worlds like Naboo, Coruscant, or Alderaan, clothing styles reflected all strata
of society.

Some species also wore such coverings for modesty, hiding parts of their
bodies that were considered private. No matter what, it is curious to observe
how the clothing of the different peoples and cultures of the galaxy adjust
to two constantly changing universal variables: morality and social status.

It is not surprising that in the darkest hour of the Republic, the rich boast of
their demure garments that hide their greedy intentions and the poor have
nothing to protect their remaining dignity from cold and hunger.

Shared wounds
All these memories begin to condense like an asphyxiating steam around
your figure, but rather the memory of it. They whisper strange sounds that
are familiar to you in your birth tongue, in an inquiry-like tone striking in all
directions as you wait to find one last crack that will destroy you.

And they find it...

It is enough for one to enter so that all come flooding through that small,
almost sealed, impregnable hole that has bowed to the only questions that
really matter:

-Who are you?- A wound in the Force, a void in where its will can be denied.

-What do you want?- Holding on my right to follow my goals.

-Who will follow you?- The last voices that will speak about the Force.

97
98
Motivations
After feeling a strange disturbance in the Force,
your fate in exile becomes uncertain. You must
move cautiously through troubled waters and adopt
a new code that has emerged from the fires of
darkness to dim the blinding glow of light.
Peace and passion. Strength and knowledge. Power
and serenity.
Harmony will lead me to victory.
With its balance, the Force will release every being
from its own grip and, although this has nothing
to do with the galaxy anymore, whispers can still
be heard. Rumors that suggest all of this will be
impossible unless:
A father manages to save his daughter’s life...
An apprentice hunts who betrayed his master...
A blackmail web keeps each mouth away from
hunger...
Her brave countenance falls with her into oblivion...
Protect all their loved ones from the Force’s strange
designs...
WHAT YOU PURSUE WILL DESTROY YOU
Motivations define personal goals, they are those
pillars on which lives are sustained in a spiral of
apathy and denial. They are achievements to be
fulfilled that shine intermittently, waiting to be
attended or to be consumed in the darkness. When
you create your character, choose 3 motivations
according to the tone of the setting. One of them
must be common to the group.
Relationships
All this is nothing but the memories of insignificant
lives diving into the dark paths of a self-indulgent
wasteland. However, even in exile, they do not walk
their path in solitude. Even at the gates of true
death, all these have accepted their bonds as the
last heralds of the Force.
In the uncomfortable silence of their own chains,
the ones they have forged, the ones they try to drag
along and the ones they intend to break forever.
Quelash is like my brother, I could never betray him.
My teacher Avilia and I never trusted each other
again after the war.
I never knew what to expect from Gob Tul, so
unpredictable and independent.
Nevaro, sooner or late, you are going to admit it.
A FRAGILE ALLIANCE
Relationships define emotional ties, although being
bound together by apathy is a fragile alliance at best.
They unite and separate. They create and destroy,
defining real conflict. The war lived out within all
hearts against their past. When you define the
relationships with the rest of the player characters
take into account how many they are, according
to their number you establish the relationships as
follows:
Establish as many relationships of hate or friendship
with each other as you wish. Then add other links of
indifference. In both cases, justify why cooperation
is possible.
99
100
Confrontation
-It would be very coincidental if these memories were not yours.- you
meditate while failing to concentrate on your surroundings. Everything is in
order. There is no doubt about it. The galaxy will always be at war with the
past.

Your memories may be very messy. You doubt very much how they began,
because sometimes you have had visions of the years stretching behind
you, while at other times it seems as if the present moment is an isolated
point in a shapeless infinity. You can’t even be sure how to convey this whole
message. All those memories, all those experiences, and even though you
know you are remembering, you have the vague impression that it will take
some strange mediation to bring whatever you are thinking to the points
where you want it to be heard. Your identity comes over you in a disconcerting
way, as if you had suffered a fleeting impression which perhaps, and only
perhaps, is the consequence of the cycles of experience.

A unique and unforgettable experience. Denying a power that does not be-
long to you.

-Loneliness is an unattainable luxury with all these memories.- you think so.
There is no death, only strength.

But with the passing of each age, even the Force can die.

Unless... (page 102)

-Indeed.- (page 104)

101
 An echo in the Force
It’s an unattainable luxury unless...

-It cannot be possible. I am not this person.- you start screaming in panic as
you stare at the skin on your arms. Tingling, defiant and flabbergasted to
every vestige and impulse to try to control them. Your limbs are a ferocious
and barbaric juggling show, with its lights and shadows. But suddenly, in all
that maelstrom of confused thoughts, your body is numbed by the terrifying
memory of having overlooked an important detail. A very important detail
that, at some point, you choosed to ignore, for your mental safety.

You look up. You feel as if you are gliding over an uncharted territory, with
the notable difference that this territory is your body, and yet your name
and your memories have always been with you. -Too much coincidence to
not be yours, don’t you think?.- A undecipherable pile of whispers sudenly
become evident, the face of a corpse that is more presence than flesh in a
desolate landscape. His dark robes take hold of your collapsed body with a
superhuman agility. They immobilize you, in a lethargic ecstasy. Smothering
you slowly, very slowly.

His body is completely covered and although he looks human, he seems to

be drawn in a blurred and confused manner, distant and repugnant to sight
and smell. Yet even as you try to free yourself, for you do well to believe that
your life is coming to an end, he manages to trick you into approaching his
masked face in white and red. Now you remember, your sight slips and you
end up cursing the Force itself for coming to the Conclave of Katarr. What
was once a paradise now lies dying like a cemetery of the Force, and your
tomb is nearby. His mouth opens. You can smell his hunger. You notice how
he slowly releases you.

102
You are that last breath trying to make its way through life and death like the
first gilled creature to emerge from the oceans and gaze at the land. To your
astonished understanding of reality, that was all. The strange being releases
you from its padded arms. But still, it has an insatiable curiosity. He extends
his hand to your forehead and begins to explore a melody of a time that does
not contemplate the present or the past.

You make your way through all the tragedies that scream across the galaxy.
You suffer a terrible pain that feels chronic and intense. Then the strange
Sith Lord looks away from your face. He seems to have found a Miraluka
trying to hold on her life. Behind it, you can see how his dark ocular basins
are smiling. But he has not forgotten you, even though he is no longer inte-
rested in you.

He puts aside his mask and you can see the power in its purest form.

But no one can have such power and still perceive the universe as we do.

A mysterious force claims your fading carcass, pushing you into the abyss.
Cutting off your connection to the Force, depriving you of joining it. Then you
understand that you were the only being who managed to realize that all this
was not a dream, but an original form more horrible than the most fearful of
nightmares. That the Darkness had finally shown itself, and that it answered
to a single name:

Darth Nihilus, Lord of Hunger.

THE END

103
 You have touched the force, what does it feel like?
It is like a cloud, a mist that drifts from living crea-
ture to creature. Set in motion by currents and ed-
dies. It is the eye of the storm, the passions of all
living things turned into energy, to a chorus. It is
the rising swell at the end of life, the promise of
new territories and new blood, the call of new mys-
teries in the dark. Feel this moment, for as long
as it’ll last. Feel life as it is, but the crude mat-
ter stripped away. But let us be silent, words and
thoughts are distractions. Wipe the fear from your
mind.

What do they want? To hold on to their right for inhibition and their right to
follow their passions. Who are they? The last voices, dwelers of the oblivion,
that will speak about the Force.

Here are some characters who are waging their own war from the shadows,
while bearing the weight of the scars of their respective lives. Some may
survive their own destruction while harbouring some hope of achieving
their goals, or they may continue an uncertain and wandering journey into
a self-imposed exile. Others simply will face a fate worse than death itself.
This is their story, and from here you can see the end of them all.

In the next pages, you will find four character sheets prepared for each player
of your game party to choose the one they want to play. In turn, each one
brings with it a series of goals and a background that can serve to the game
director as a seed of ideas for the adventure sketched out below.

THE SUNKEN SWORD OF AJUNTA PALL

The four heralds of the Force on the following pages have a common bond,
the frivolity of a smuggler named Atton Rand, but the scars of his past do
not converge in a single pit of despair.

Qualesh Duula and Dalya Tong met in Korriban when the former hired her to
recover the alleged sword of Ajunta Pall. It was never known what happened
inside the tomb of the Sith Lord, but the truth is that they barely escaped
from that filthy valley. Treachery, compassion, madness, ignorance. We’ll
never know for sure, (maybe they could tell us what really happen at all)but
it certainly wasn’t enough to cleanse the stain Qualesh’s son disgrace. After
that event, Dalya simply disappeared without further explanation.

When Yeda Brook was younger, she was promoted to the rank of Jedi
Knight. On those days, she expected that her teacher would be Dalya Tong,
but instead, Dalya decided that Yeda’s master would be Strumbor Travtaris.
Another jedi knight who did not reach the rank of master. Yeda burned in
anger, but never acted out. Strumbor, after the civil war, embraced the fires
of passion as easily as he embraced the heat of battle, forming a family
with Yeda’s sister. This slip took the form of a peaceful family life, until the
day when Onderon’s secret service accused his wife of committing treason
against the Republic, by the grace of a blow from Atton Rand.

Manaan ended up being the dumping ground where this debris finally
converged. Atton Rand has stolen the sword of Ajunta Pall and taken it to
the depths of this oceanic world. To the domain of the Progenitor, but there
is always a bigger fish and its hungry jaws don’t discen the metal from the
flesh, nor the void from the Force...

adventure you want to direct as a game master, take more or less motivations
from the suggested list or create your own.

THE ASHEN SUN

The legend of an exile who long ago entered into the solitude of an existence,
that is closer to the will and the material essence of inert things than of
life, circulates among the Mirian people. Others say that this is just a myth
to frighten both younglings and elders. The truth is that the object of this
legend, Ocorum Pertinax, cares nothing for these rumors about his state
of non-existence. Inside his cave he lives unrepentant, without penance or
satiety, contemplating an oceanic sky under a rocky dome popullated with
thousand holes. There are rumors of those who have seen him, others even
claim to have survived a conversation. In both cases, apathy has completely
consumed their lives, and when asked why they have covered their emotions
behind an impenetrable shell, the answer is always the same: There is
nothing to protect or hide when you harbor nothing inside. It seems that
they have already accepted this.

THE GUILT OR THE DREAM

Harmony, beauty, tenacity, intellect and, above all, perfection. The Hauth
family was touched by the wonders of cloning technology with the aim of
perpetuating their lineage unchanged throughout the ages. But the Force is
conflict, the Zabrak people are siblings of the conflict and the Hauth house is
the same ambition made manifest. That’s why it’s perfect. When the fires of
the galaxy devoured worlds over five decades, a seed sprouted from within
perfection to spread chaos. Zenda Hauth could feel the Force, and so the
Order quickly took her away from her family. But a liberated slave never
ceases to be a slave, and we are all slaves to our nature, no matter how
artificial it is. Zenda has returned to Ruusan, having contemplated the true
meaning behind the beauty of her mirror and no one is going to stop her.

BACKGROUND
He left his home long ago and long ago he knew
the lies that every civilization keeps. Decades of
conflict brought him a revealing truth, and instead
of condemning it, he embraced it. Contrary to
what the teachings shouted throughout the galaxy,
he understood that the Force does not seek a
balance, that it does not honor the Light or judge
the Darkness. That just as a freed slave is still a
slave, the Force is only the ashes remaining from
a huge stone that even if destroyed will remain a
stone. Nothing changes, nothing serves a purpose.
Behind his inexpressive mask, many made the
mistake of judging that he was hiding something,
when the truth is that behind it there is absolutely
nothing. Those who have crossed words with him
have found empty expressions of emotion and the
greatest pain in knowing that all hope they held,
like everything else in the universe, was in vain.

Dying suns
A planet can be described as an organism, a creature with a skeleton of sto-
ne and a heart of molten rock. The species that inhabit a planet, both plants
and animals, from microbes to giants, are the planet’s organs, its symbionts
and its parasites.

Here are the different places in the galaxy that are waging their own war from
the shadows and the aberrant end of a past condemned to oblivion. Some
may survive their own destruction through the ages, others may wander the
dark seas of time, others will simply lie before them one way or another. This
is what was written. What happens to them has yet to be written.

AN EPITAPH AMONG THE STARS

Each planet is characterized by a series of details that are classified around

three categories and a summary to its most recent history.

Astrographic data: which system it is in and what are its basic characteristics.

Geopolitical information: what is the predominant climate and biome, the

level of population, how it is organized (if at all) and its current situation.

The blemish of the Force: the conception of the Force, the presence of the
Dark Side, its capacity of seduction and the reason for its presence.

 INFORMATION
Avloom IV is a planet on the cold fringe of the Avloom habitable zone,
an isolated binary system in the Skine sector of the Outer Rim, far from
the Five Veils Route. In the past, it was enough to follow the star charts
from Farstine (Middle Edge) via Skynara (Outer Edge) to then join any
convoy of the ithorian restoration fleet. Nowadays, its whereabouts,
although delimited somewhere in the sector, has been lost and those
who, by bad luck, have found it have regretted it so much that not even
the greatest of punishments has managed to make them share the
location of this lost system, perhaps, as a courtesy to the entire galaxy.

THE PROJECT 15
The history of Avloom IV goes back to the decades before the great Sith
war. At that time, a restoration project was designated on this planet. The
Avloom system was governed by the action of the gravitational force of two
sinister opposing suns. Av (the red giant) occupied her throne listlessly in the
void, looking timidly terrifying behind her crimson red veil phagocytized by
a legion of tiny insects and the most absolute indifference of time. Loom,
(the white dwarf) roared with the strength of a great beast fighting not to be
devoured by its neighbouring star, rumours spoke of the majestic display of
a cloud of particles thrown at near light-speed velocities, capable of piercing
flesh, metal and the Force itself.

For every plant that is torn out, two must be planted. No world will be left
behind.

Unlike what happens in systems with only one star, Avloom’s habitability zone
oscillates, so the bordering regions last longer outside that area, in which
life proliferates, than inside it. Nevertheless, the data collected by the first
exploration probes had promising results. Despite the situation of Avloom
IV with respect to its neighbours within the habitable zone, life, although
scarce and bizarre, was possible. This had occurred around the geological
terraces of the interior caves and in the depths of the many kilometres of
holes found along the surface of the planet, a karstic landscape bathed in
ice. Due to this peculiar feature, Avloom IV earned the nickname of “the
tomb of Utapau” among the first batch of planetary restorers, because of its
similarity to this planet and its remarkable difference in surface temperature.
But desecrating a tomb is a ominous profession.

124
After the arrival of the first ships, about nine scientific colonies were founded
inside the chasms that descended dozens of kilometers, leaving behind
a landscape of dusty stone of a carmine color, giving way to a system of
caves piled vertically by levels. The geological terraces that were found at
great depths allowed a less hostile climate and resources were abundant.
During the first phases of Project 15 (codenamed on those days), a series
of essential climatic parameters were calibrated and species from the
neighbouring planet Avloom III were incorporated. The compatibility with
the local flora and fauna fitted in with the expected responses, as they were
adapted to the conditions of brightness and the common properties of the
other planets in the system.

THE HOLLOWDOME
The terraformation stations accomplished a great work supervised by a high
command of ithorian priests, who in turn had the support of a scientific
committee in line with the philosophy of such a project. The unexpected
surprise came when a speleological expedition confirmed a vaguely
considered theory. Behind the thick layers of rock of the underground lakes
there was another place, another cavity, an unknown reality that extended
under the whole planet. They called it the Hollowdome.

An immense underground ocean with imprisoned remains of a primeval and

wild age but which held a precious treasure for trade, the Viaticum. Its exotic
properties as a long-lasting and efficient fuel were kept under summary
secrecy so as not to attract the attention of unscrupulous corporations
tempted to turn this unusual planet into a tomb smothered by the fires of
metallurgy and technology.

A NEW WORLD ODER

Although Avloom IV never drew attention in the galactic financial market,
it was the project leaders’ own obsession with exploring the Hollowdome
that slowed, and even stopped, the progress of Project 15. The reports
began to pile up, the machines were programmed for a state of minimal
energy consumption, the Avloom IV colonies became isolated from each
other, initiating a state of seclusion that led to feudal societies. The spiritual
leaders of each colony self-proclaimed independent kingdoms, each
scientific committee limited communications with the other stations and
finally, the population was segregated into different social strata.

125
 In the deepest strata were the Abyssals, the top of the Avloomian social
hierarchy, ithorian spiritual leaders. Theirs was the power to establish
contact with the local fauna and flora, to obtain raw materials, to regulate the
exchange of material goods in the higher strata and, ultimately, to convene
the Inquisitorum. This conclave was both the supreme guard and religious
authority of each kingdom. The position of the Supreme Inquisitorial stood
out, which in turn completely governed the fief. Although this political
attitude was totally alien to the ithorian civilization, in Avloom IV it found
a reliable proof of its existence, through a fragile balance in which peace
required a global condition of apparent cold war.

It is not a cold war, it is indoctrination. A forced conversion. People disappear

and are never heard from again. But everything is fine, everything works. Our
people have become more solid since then.

A little higher up, with no guaranteed de facto access to the Hollowdome,

were the Reptantes. Scientists of different species who had shown their
sympathy with the new social order. Knowing the language of machines,
they were surprised when spiritual leaders turned their backs on their faith
in the old ways. This turn was met with ephemeral joy by this new caste
of industrialists. Under the diffuse threat that spoke of an evil they could
not even imagine, they cooperated in the establishment and maintenance
of a system that granted them full occupation of the industrial sector
and enormous privileges. Underground shelters, genetics laboratories,
acclimatized sections and, perhaps most essential, a plethora of virtually
unlimited supplies.

The Vigilantes, a wide range of ordinary citizens with access to ration coupons
and basic supplies, were piled up in the upper strata of the cavernous
terraces. They were despised by the lower circles, although conditions varied
from kingdom to kingdom. Their main function was to generate services to
meet the needs of the fief through medical services, recreation, education
and trade under a system of planned supervision. Higher up, almost on the
surface of the planet, there were piles of refugees, travelers, outcasts, and
inhabitants condemned to exile. Their situation was marked by the scarcity
of material means and by the remoteness of any outcome of the planetary
restoration process. It is said that rarely was anyone condemned to exile
beyond the last higher level. Since executions were strictly forbidden, this

126
constituted an effective form of a death sentence. Despite some classified
attempts, such an edict has never been found in the records of Avloom IV.

The limits of language are the limits of knowledge. Our name was not their
knowledge. They thought of us as ‘Hearers’. The limit of thought is the chain
of listeners like me. I cannot speak if they cannot listen. We only know the
minds of our chain. Your people choose their chain in a dimension that we
don’t know. I was the only one who chose to move through time from this
eternal stratum.

The most surprising thing about this whole system is that, despite its
dictatorial nature, it was exercised in practice with a clear demonstration
of good intentions that acts of rebellion did not go beyond a mere formal
and civilized discussion. The ithorian philosophy of life had gone further
and managed to establish itself by creating a social culture based on a
benevolent moral authoritarianism.

AN UNEXPECTED MESSAGE
With Project 15 stopped, and given the remoteness from the rest of the
worlds and trade routes, all interest in the existence of Avloom IV was lost.
Its population, already established, grew totally unrelated to the galactic
situation. It was not until the decades of subsequent conflicts that its skies
bore indifferent witness to a space battle between fleets of retreating ships.
An open front between a fleet of Republican warships, Sith destroyers and
smugglers corbettes. After the battle, the survivors began to recover all the
wreckage in an attempt to send a distress signal to the nearest system. As
there was no response and the situation was critical, they put aside their
differences and began building an orbital station with the wreckage of the
battered flagships. The smugglers descended into the jungles of Avloom III
and obtained enough food that, through advanced techniques performed
by republic and sith empire scientists, they managed to sequence in order
to produce a certain amount of food. The combined efforts of this fragile
alliance led to the construction of the Ogun orbital station.

Once their lives had settled within the walls of Ogun, they received a answer
from where they least expected it. Avloom IV had spoken. They wanted to
offer them a deal, the Abyssals gave them Viaticum in small quantities and
in return they asked for Avloom III species for confidential purposes.

127
 There’s another mind here. It’s dying. What’s dying? A disconnection. The
absence of knowledge. What’s it for? Will the mind learn something? It will
stop learning. But it will retain its identity.

A FORMIDABLE FIASCO
Although it seemed like the kind of agreement to get out of that system, the
first negotiation turned out to be a failure. The triple alliance between the
Sith, the republic and the smugglers presented itself to that strange signal
sent on an anomalous frequency as The Triumvirate. After an intense debate
and setting the protocol for a first contact, they sent probes to explore Avloom
IV. What happened next did not follow the usual line of ithorian diplomacy.
They had perfected their game to an unsuspected level. The Uyghorians
disabled all input and output frequencies, not only in Avloom IV’s orbit, but
throughout the system. After losing those probes, the smugglers bombarded
the asteroid belt with old missile warheads.

Maybe they don’t speak our language. Think about it, they’re telepathic,
right? If you could feel what I was thinking while I was thinking, would you
need to read this message? Or develop the language? Seriously, if they were
going to talk to us, I think it would have to be something very important.

The purpose of this maneuver was to cause a phenomenon that couldn’t

be hidden by those living down there and force contact. However, a swarm
of drones commanded from different fiefdoms managed to attract the
creatures that roam Av’s solar corona to destroy the missiles and thus alter
the violent activity of this unstable star. Several fragments of the asteroid
belt were ejected and reached the surface of Avloom IV. Despite this, the
Avloomians refused to make contact.

The depths did not serve the creatures there in darkness...

The Sith intelligence then proposed to use a device to project a visual

message onto the clouds of Avloom IV. The nine fiefdoms sent a signal, they
were ready to make contact. However, the Republic and the smugglers chose
the greatest caution and sent a small unmanned ship, which was destroyed
on landing. Not a single drop of blood had been spilled, yet the material
losses from this conflict were counted in thousands over the months. The
kind and helpful temperament had taken a leap toward righteousness and

128
cordiality, oriented toward the pursuit of selfish interests not accessible to
understanding. In the end, the Triumvirate chose to apply, from the Ogun
station, a permanent orbital block. To do so, a planetary shield was built from
orbit, with the objective of avoiding any kind of sabotage by the unknown
population of Avloom IV.

The months became years and the years became decades of coexistence
in which they established colonies on Avloom III from where they obtained
the necessary resources to maintain that station. However, fuel tanks were
scarce on that planet and refueling with the energy of the two suns was,
above all, an invitation to a terrible and silent death. It was never known
what the outcome of that hostile diplomatic contest would be; today all that
remains are the rumors of those who, betraying all compromise, fled that
system, upset by the notion of a planet that was born forgotten and died
rejected. Although most of the hypotheses seem to assure that, if such a
system continues to exist, it was a formidable fiasco. How can we know all
of this if the information was lost? May you ask. It’s not possible, unless
you have always been there or have just arrived to discovered it and then, to
burnden yourself.

... the darkness gave rise to those who became resistant to the pressure and
chose to enlighten themselves. Unbroken as a stone.

 INFORMATION
Tn’Soth is an icy planet in the Ahdon’at system, in the Fakir sector of the
Colonies region, which is barely habitable. That is why its administration
does not depend on a local government to use, but is the headquarters and
property of the ProSoth Foundation, a compendium of companies interested
in maintaining operations and research controversial enough to be approved
by the jurisprudence of any civilized world. Thanks to this status, investors
build facilities in the most isolated places, ranging from their surface to the
safe places of their orbit covered by a colossal blizzard.

THE PURCHASE OF A SYSTEM

The history of Tn’Soth goes back to a period long before the Republic, during
the days of the Infinite Rakata Empire. It is believed that this planet was once
a fertile, life-sustaining paradise. However, a glimpse into the heart of the
Ahdon’at system is enough to form an idea that fails to sense the cataclysm
it hints at. The seven planets that cohabit in a sort of vacuum without a
pretender to the throne dance in erratic orbits around a gargantuan creature
that wraps its corpse around the remains of a dying star.

Go find out what kind of misfortune took place here, although it is true
that it was one almost as old as the galaxy itself. A bruised and cracked
breastplate like Malachor V lies eternally covering in its wind a grey dwarf
that in a few centuries will be consumed in itself and not even the radiant
surface of a god’s corpse will be able to prevent it. Condemning this system
to a definitive death that neither the ithorians nor the most megalomaniacal
mind in the galaxy would dare to challenge. The mystery is surely a twisted
way of knocking on the door of thousands of lives with a hopeless but
promising message.

This is how during the Mandalorian wars, different companies from all over
the galaxy came in a desperate hour to those places where nobody saw
opportunities, because in them resided the real fortune. The war was seriously
hurting the economy of the Republic and in that suffocating climate, the rats
began to abandon ship. An inefficient bureaucracy adapted to a wartime
economy was unable to respond to various purchasing movements. This is
how the ProSoth Foundation was born, in the middle of the shipwreck of the
galactic economy and as a result of an exaggerated motivation to survive at
all costs.

132
From humans to Rhodians, through species as unknown as givin
mathematicians. Where the rule of law had failed, the rule of capital and
labour emerged as the guarantor of civil liberties. All it took was a system
rich enough in resources and ignored enough to arrive, place the first
standard and claim it as its own with a professional private army. The rules
of the company would come later, if anything had to be regulated.

Another war would not be necessary. When all this is over, the Republic will
be too, and thousands of systems will follow suit.

Tn’Soth could have been very different, but after the Mandalorian Wars it
had another purpose: the extraction, refinement and sale of nova crystals
in a rising market. Ships arrived, facilities were deployed, and fifteen
settlements were located after months that ended in a pile of exhaustive
reports, now confidential to a greater or lesser degree. Thus, the Republic
could not cope with the increasing bureaucratic actions and registrations
made by companies that wanted to operate on the sidelines. Tn’Soth had
been colonized for itself, without laws or governments.

THE FAIR PRICE OF THE PROGRESS

Despite its inescapable spirit of flexible production and total voluntary
subordination to the wildest free market economy, Tn’Soth is not a criminal
world. Every being that lives here, since this planet lacks fauna and flora
(beyond that which is manufactured at convenience in different facilities),
is part of one of the divisions of the Foundation and each one represents
itself before its confrontation in a peer-to-peer approach, without mediators,
nor any kind of forced intervention by third parties. Of course, this is was is
written on the sheets, but it’s very different in the streets.

To a certain extent, this planet showed from its origin the need for a strict
and efficient order, sustained by the funds destined to security measures,
from private professional armies to defensive systems managed by several
advanced IAs. Each company of the Foundation is in charge of a specific
task in the same way as the political and administrative regions of a country.

Nowadays, these are the seven companies that shape the foundations of
the ProSoth Foundation itself:

133
 Mechari: it is the company in charge of the design and manufacture of
industrial vehicles in charge of transporting and extracting nova glass. They
manage the Forquad and Huxel settlements.

0pB0t: it is the division dedicated to the planning, proposals, design and

construction of advanced IAs for maintenance control and energy supply.
They operate from the Ribot and Nulidad settlements.

BrAInary: the firm with the most confidential content of all the planet. Its
interest is focused on the application of nova crystals in brain-machine
interfaces. They investigate from the Cortex and Talamud settlements.

AizTek: it is the corporation in charge of the integrity of the design of the

installations, looking for a synthesis between inverters and planetary
aesthetics. They sketch works of art from the Domo and Veridian settlements.

T-14: they are in charge of the design and manufacture of weapons through
nova crystals. They are an army at the service of the highest bidder since the
forts Holdon and Koran.

Alerite: it is the business in charge of obtaining rare mineral veins a ores

in order to processing them and create exotic alloys. It has a droid army on
Wurthz and Shaida settlements.

BellaGen: It is the most powerful biotech firm of the planet. It is focused on

cloning and stem cell techniques to feed this entire planet from its assorted
settlements in Quaza and Vlum.

The Executive Board is made up of one member from each company. At

present its leadership is disputed and awaiting a decision::

CEO (Contested): Barks Ley’laf (Bothan) of Mechari and Ar’alani Krell (Chiss).
Director of Operations: Tavir Ondrak (Humano) of Alerite.
Commercial Director: Cicero Aurel (Zabrak) of 0pB0t.
Marketing Director: Vian Myrite (Lorrdiana) of AizTek.
Human Resources Director: Dia Alima (Twi’lek) of BellaGen.
Customer Success: Nekonda Karr (Rhodian) of T-14.
Financial Director: Nissal Juarism (Givin) of BrAInary.

134
Each designates the best in her house to take a seat on the Executive Board
of the ProSoth Foundation, the Novuan spaceport, whose headquarters sits
on a glacial valley and rises to the high atmosphere like an all-powerful and
unwavering tower. An ode to all that ambition and money can achieve, if
labour rights are not taken into account. Novuan has a population of nearly
2,000, much larger than the timid hundreds in each settlement, and serves
as an impregnable fortress for the foundation’s business interests. In this
social system, the acquisition of new goods is rewarded without any room
for political considerations or the same working conditions. The company’s
staff can apply for the position they aspire to without remorse, but they
cannot affiliate with other workers. Even administrative jobs with some
ideological influence are considered, but there is no right to vote. Tn’Soth
is, in the eyes of all forms of government in the galaxy, a kind of capitalist
utopia (or nightmare) in which negotiation with the boss is unnecessary and
democracy non-existent, a controlled experiment where life is focused on
the achievement of pleasure through intrapersonal relationships, superficial
and accelerated, and through the purchase of goods and services.

Not enough, the ProSoth Foundation has built a facility governed by an

omniscient AI with fairly clear programming: all inhabitants must work
to achieve, what computer engineers called, grace. This whole capitalist
planetary commune seemed to work effectively: entrepreneurs working by
and for entrepreneurs, a kind of temple to work and profit. But terrible news
was about to come from the unruly heart of the system, and it would not be
until the Jedi civil war that the veil hiding the shadows would fall.

WHERE LIGHT DOES NOT DWELL

When the Mandalorian wars ended, Tn’Soth went unnoticed, operating
from the shadows, paying and extorting huge ammounts of money to erase
any trace of this planet from the star charts so that they could continue
to sell nova crystals without much competition. The profits tripled in a few
semesters. With this, the ProSoth Foundation launched an annual project
competition; mapping the icy paths of the orbit, creating leisure habitats,
unraveling the past history of the system, creating an underground ocean,
extending the Foundation’s domains, creating the first Sothian fleet, among
others. There was no shortage of ideas to be presented and they all received
the approval of the Executive Board. They were so blinded in their ambition
that they ignored the strands that chain everything touched by the Force.

135
 A year before the end of the Jedi civil war, the Foundation had achieved a
number of masterful achievements. The construction of the First Sothian
Fleet had been completed and was sent to investigate the heart of the
system commanded by a neural network of servers connected to the neural
interface of the scanning equipment. In turn, AizTek and Alerite joined forces
to develop a plethora of materials and architectural designs adapted to the
Ice Path, while Mechari and 0pB0t combined their data libraries so that the
scanning probes could contrast the data they obtained with a large library of
semi-confidential galactic information. But the galaxy hides many mysteries
for which the other factors are nothing more than obstacles that prevent the
definition of an entire species at its hegemonic point. Conflict.

When the ships of the First Fleet stood near the twisted corpse of that titan,
which they did not dare to name, they understood that there are mysteries
that would be better left as such. Unfortunately, it was a decision made too
late. That dying creature seemed to possess a magnetosphere of its own,
stronger than that of the very star that garrisoned its interior. By interfering
with the ships’ sensors, it entered resonance at a frequency that was highly
conductive to the neural network, sending out a strong discharge that was
felt on every planet in the system.

May everything that has been planned come true. Let them believe and let
them laugh at their passions. For what they call passion is really not some
emotional energy, but the friction between their souls and the outside world.

The creature’s belly opened to make way for tongues of black sibylline fire
that flowed through it like rivers of poisoned blood. The light paled throughout
the system, but a glow emanated from another point in the galaxy. A terror
from the stars yet to come. The skies of Tn’Soth were darkened and that icy
land shone strangely from very specific points, hidden and almost invisible
to the best of radars. The light was not consumed at those points when the
first expeditions were sent to try to understand what had happened, but to
their surprise they were not alone. They were never alone in all that time.

And most importantly, they want to believe in themselves. Let them be

helpless like children, because weakness is something great and strength is
nothing. When a being is just born, it is weak and flexible. When it dies, it is
hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, it is tender and supple...

been seen in the galaxy and that day they emerged from the shadows of
Tn’Soth. All that time they had been watching the Sothiana Foundation, from
the depths, but not through technology, but through the Force. A power that
was persecuted and punished by death among Chiss society. They showed
no resistance, but also no interest in responding to the usurpers of what
they considered their place of retreat. A place of exile for those who carried
the bright flame of light to where it could not shine. Their records, though
charged with a language too poetic for a business culture and even for the
own Chiss ancestry, were intact:

When the leaves descended from the great tree in the cold, radiant night
into an abyss of darkness, they landed on a wall of perpetual mist and fog.
The ash tree had abandoned them. Stripped, torn away by the whispers of
the gnawing one, they built their roots on a wall in the image of the icy horns
of the tree. They broke through it, and called it it home. To a cursed land
where they fought stories of ancient evil and a plague of distant suns.

There was no mistake about it. Tn’Soth had been a Chiss outpost planet, in
a region quite distant from its unknown home, covered by the dark aura of
an ancient evil that had been called. The scouts soon realized that there was
only one thing they could do in such a situation; wait. Wait to hear the death
of the galaxy, now that they still could, if only through whispers.

AN HONEST DIALOGUE
When the Jedi civil war ended, in the midst of all those internal discussions
the figure of the moment came intrigued. Revan felt a timid disturbance
in the Force, so he came as a mediator between the different groups in
secret meetings, ensured the respect of those Chiss guardians and earned
his own by submitting to the strange conception of the Force they had
developed. A much more introspective, but devastating, philosophy that
sought transcendence through a sincere dialogue in which the user of the
Force finds, face to face, with herself, whether it is the best or the worst
moment of his life.

137
 ...But when it’s dry and stiff, it dies. Hardness and strength are the companions
of death. Flexibility and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being.
Because what has been hardened will never win.

Revan negotiated the coexistence of the Foundation with this sect, calling
itself the Krellites, by designating their temples as sacred places reserved
for ceremonial acts among the members of the Executive Board of the
ProSoth Foundation who were able to enter the retreats of the Krellite sect
and overcome the strange ritual of the Gate.

Little is known of this ritual, other than that all Krellites accompany those
who wish to submit to a door behind which is a room from which those who
have returned have succumbed to their most intimate desire, that which
they so long for without becoming fully aware of it. The last CEO discovered
himself in that moment of loneliness, after realizing that his greatest desire
was not, as he firmly believed, to embrace his brother again, but to become
miserably rich. Thus, aware that he was deeply selfish and materialistic, he
despised himself until he hung himself. His position is currently in dispute
between a Bothan and, for the first time, a Krellite Chiss.

Strangely enough, materialistic and spiritual traditions have found a delicate

and syncretic synthesis in times of genuine need and ignorance. The Dark
Side calls from forgotten lessons about the pain of a race subjected to a
self-imposed exile who dare not speak of those days of tragedy and the
growing discontent of a population weary of the noise of vulgar industrial
and colorless routine. Meanwhile, the body of a god lies on the back of a
star. Those who have passed through the Gate and returned to tell the tale
say that behind it lies the very cold heart of a dying sun, others say the face
of the beast. Be that as it may, the same question is always wisely continued
with the same answer:

What can be found there? Only what you carry with you.

Final words
Horror is a familiar face that we prefer to forget. While the non-intelligent
beings of the galaxy only contemplate death with fear, those who employ it
until they acquire a certain consciousness remember something they had
forgotten; its insignificance. This manifests itself in various ways, but the
universe itself is essentially the antithesis of the psychology that inhabits
it. Wars, plagues, genocides, diseases, among other evils, populate the
inhospitable interstellar distances. Suicide is the common cause of death
in most sectors, civilized or not, it doesn’t matter, and those who don’t kill
themselves normally wish they had, others do it while living, day after day,
without any truce.

Anxiety, depression and horror are the ultimate end of life. Almost all
beings suffer a mental breakdown at some point in their lives, and as long
as this is the case, it will take many millions of years before the galaxy
stops molding itself into its conflict and eventually dies.

This extends to the metaphysical realm. Withhold wise beings from, at

least one of their senses, and they will not be long before they contemplate
madness in its manifest form. Perception is everything, there is no greater
lesson in all this, only a galaxy torn by the struggle that takes place in
the darkest corners of those who are still alive. It is a kingdom without
a crown, without laws beyond the indifference that still allows to raise
pyramids from the sand to spread them like dust among the stars.

Its inhabitants are not mentally well. The past leaves its scars and long
distances make personal demons very often become literal. Illusions can
become reality at a given moment. That is the Force, a hurtful illusion.
The most powerful and diseased creatures that exist are those who try to
possess it. They are so profusely sick that they actually distort the world
around them. They use this ability to drive the universe further and further
into madness. War after war, death after death under every failed ideal, in
the desperate hope that reality will kill itself and end this suffering. That is
the Force, the mirror to the cosmic horror.

Entire civilizations have formed around the express goal of not succumbing
to madness and reaching the Sublime among the stars. That is why not
even one, not by a long shot, has succeeded. This is the way I have kept in
mind while writting Star Wars Betrayal and I hope warmfuly you enjoy it.

Antonio Ganfornina Andrades

The Jedi Order is dead. The Republic is on the verge of collapse. However, in
the most inhospitable corners of the galaxy, another war is taking place...

Star Wars Betrayal includes:

· A setting along the early days of the First Jedi Purge.

· The adaptation of aclaimed Cthulhu Dark rules for the darkest hour of the galaxy.

· 14 playable species from the Star Wars universe with their own characteristics.

· A narrative character creation through 50 years of galactic conflicts.

· The possibility of playing Force-sensitive beings in exile.

· An untamed and malleable power through various feats and Force powers.

· The necessary elements for crafting a symbol devoid of any meaning: your lightsaber.

· Four harassed characters, two antagonists and two doomed planets.

Think carefully on your choice. if you choose to fight, if you choose war, you must know that
it is a path few turns from once the first steps are taken. It carries with it a terrible price
and, in the end, you may find you have nothing left to sacrifice.
