They are technologically-minded, and had a lot to do with project Shantipole and the development of the B-Wing fighter. The Roche Asteroid field is the home of the Verpine which are also provided as a playable race in this book. Its not clearly explained how this could have happened. It is apparently a chief provider of hyperdrives, but has a weird history in that it was forgotten by the republic and cut off from the galaxy for a period of time. Kinyen, the Gran home world is given similar treatment, as is the aquatic planet of the Mon Calamari and the Quarren, Mon Cala, and the volcanic, industrial world of Sullust, home to the Sorosuub corporation, and Sullustans. Sidebars enrich the environments with a few extra details like a hovertrain that connects agricultural communities, and rumors of an ancient Jedi tomb in the crystal canyons. It also provides information about a few lesser cities, and the crystal canyons, as well as a few native peoples and creatures that could be encountered in the cities or the wilds. For instance the entry on Chandrila (Mon Mothma’s home planet) has details on the capitol of Hanna City, as well as nine points of interest that could serve as adventure locations. This book allows for a lot more detail than can be afforded in any entry in a core book. Each world described starts with a fact sheet detailing population, languages, major cities, imports/exports, and what the world is generally known for.
The first section of this book is much like the Galaxy chapters of the main core books. Beyond this, it details a few new races, gear, ships, and some modular encounters similar to those found in Suns of Fortune, and Lords of Nal Hutta.
Interestingly it also details a few famous rebel locations from the movies like Echo base, Yavin 4, and the flagship Independence. The latest addition to the Age of Rebellion line details Rebel strongholds that can be used as adventure locations, and to give Age characters a bit more detail for common home worlds of typical rebel races like Mon Calamari, Gran, and Sullustans.
