− | ===[[ | + | ===The Galaxy and Travel Times=== |
+ | 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. | ||
+ | *[http://www.starwars-chronicles.com/Hyperspace_Travel_Time.htm Hyperspace Travel Times] gives you a general idea of the travel times involved with going from one section of the galaxy to another. 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? | |

− | # | + | #No defense/not declared: The TN is modified by the character's appropriate static Defense score. |
− | # | + | #Full Dodge: The character declares that they will do nothing except defend themselves. The TN is modified by the character's static Dodge + 10. |
