Endor Sourcebook
Location: Moddell sector, Outer Rim All hyperspace checks to Endor +10 Approaching the planet Endor is not easy. Several Difficult Astrogation checks are needed due the large gravitational disturbances causes by the Gas Giant and other local anomalies. Over the years many an unwary spacefarer has crashed in the system. The lucky few who survived, a human named Noa being one (Ewoks: The Battle for Endor), have managed to land on Endor’s forest moon, code-named ‘Sanctuary Moon’ by the Empire. The forest moon teems with life. By day the friendly Ewoks roam freely with only the occasion threat from the brutish Duloks. At night the Ewoks hide away in their treetop villages while ferocious monsters hunt on the forest floor. Battle of Endor Towards the end of the Galactic Civil War the Empire chose Endor as the construction site of the second Death Star (Death Star II: The Revenge). Here the Emperor Palpatine planned on luring the Rebel star fleet to it’s doom. However, a rebel strike team landed on the Sanctuary Moon and, with the aid of a tribe of Ewoks, managed to deactivate the shield generator protecting the Imperial Battle Station. The Death Star was destroyed, the Emperor killed, and the Fall of the Empire had begun.
Ewoks are a meter high bipedal race. Although they have a primitive lifestyle they are wonderfully inventive building high tree villages, gliders and sail boats. A peaceful race, they spend their days hunting and collecting food for their tribe. This said, they can be fierce warriors. It was the help of the Ewoks that allowed the Rebel Alliance to defeat the Imperial forces at the Battle of Endor. They are mischievous by nature and have and overwhelming sense of wanderlust. Young Ewoks love to go adventuring, often without their parents permission. Ewoks are naturally drawn to the light side and their culture reflects their beliefs. Although they hunt animals for foods, and readily defend themselves, they are a peaceful people. They worship nature. The forest and the trees especially. Ewoks believe that when they die their spirit goes to a special tree in the Bright Tree forest. They also believe in the spirits which live in the Great Trees.
Ewoks get +1D on to smell related Search At time of creation an Ewok gets 2D for every 1D he puts into Hide/Sneak or Search.

Races of Endor
These space pirates crashed on the forest moon long ago. They have since built a stone castle in the Dragon Pelt grasslands. These brutes have no mercy when dealing with the other races of Endor. They are the only ones on the moon with technology. But as the years pass the knowledge of it dwindles. Their blasters are jury-rigged and could just as easily explode as shoot an energy bolt.

Endor.

the trees, but use the marshlands for protection. Their Shaman’s
practice the dark arts, but are rarely powerful enough to cause any real
problems. Dexterity: 2D+1 Knowledge: 1D+1 Mechanical: 1D+1 Perception: 2D+1 Strength: 2D+1 Technical: 1D+1 Skill bonus: Duloks get +1D to all Dexterity skills in Marshland.

Tulgah In the darkest caves of the Dragons Spine mountains dwell a race of trolls known as Tulgah.

The Tulgah have tamed the Mantigrue as beasts of burden and war. Dexterity: 1D Knowledge: 2D+1 Mechanical: 1D Perception: 2D Strength: 3D+2 Technical: 2D
The Great Tree Spirits The strangest of the creatures on Endor are the Spirits. The Ewoks see the spirits as good omens, and it is said that some Shaman have even been able to communicate freely with these spirits. These spirits are like a manifestation of the Force. The light side spirits appears as wisps or fairies, even offering bonus’s to characters in need. There is a down side. The Dark Side can also manifest these spirits, just as it did in the cave on Dagobah, creating a manifestation of Darth Vader brought on by Luke’s negative emotions. These Dark Spirits will often offer favours to the Dark Witches and evil Shaman of Endor. Attributes / Skills GM discretion.
