			====No Death?====
			Although damage works slightly differently in later editions, one of the things about 1st Edition Star Wars D6 is that there was no result on damage rolls that automatically killed a character (Player or Non-Player). This is on purpose: death happens either (a) being Mortally Wounded for some time without medical aid, or (b) when dramatically appropriate.

			That said, an unconscious character is at the mercy of the victor, and this could mean that NPCs are effectively "defeated" whether or not they are dead, and that Player Characters could be killed be especially vile enemies, but usually will find themselves captured, left for dead, or otherwise out of action until healed.

If the result is less than the number of Dark Side Points, the character goes over to the Dark Side and is consumed by evil (i.e., no longer a Player Character).
			*When a character with Dark Side Points rolls any Force Skill, they may take a +1D bonus per Dark Side Point they have. Refusing to do so increases the difficulty of the roll by one level as the character attempts to resist the temptation of the Dark Side.
			**Characters who have gone over to the Dark Side lose this bonus.

	Astrogation rolls are normally against TN 15. Without a nav computer or a way to calculate a jump, the base TN is 30.		The best -- though certainly not the most accurate! -- way to figure out relative positions and travel times are to use the following resources:
			*[http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/d/d2/MainGalaxy.jpg The Galaxy] - This is the Essential Atlas version of the map of the Star Wars Galaxy.
			*[http://starwars.com/atlas/ Star Wars Essential Atlas Online Companion] contains an updated PDF index of all of the Star Wars planets and their position on the above map.

Unfortunately, it's a generalization; certain features of the galaxy make it such that any planets not along well-traveled Hyperspace routes could have travel times that vary widely from what is presented.

			Combine all these with several listings in the various Star Wars sourcebooks, and then multiply all that by your ship's Hyperdrive Multiplier. See why it requires an Astrogation roll?

			Astrogation rolls are normally against TN 15, though this may vary slightly based on how well known the route is. Without a nav computer or a way to calculate a jump, the base TN is 30.
