||
| − | The galactic economy turns on the wealth and products of billions of worlds. Throughout the history of known space, money has gone by many names, but the basic unit always came back to the "credit." As the Republic waned and the Rise of the Empire approached (circa Episodes I-III), the Republic credits (also called "dataries") no longer had much value beyond the Core Worlds and the Inner Rim. Instead, local currencies became popular. More often, people living and working in the distant regions wanted to trade in hard currency, not electronic credit chips. |

Instead, local currencies became popular. More often, people living and working in the distant regions wanted to trade in hard currency, not electronic credit chips. |
||
| − | This changed when the Empire came to power. By the time of the Rebellion era (circa Episode IV-VI). Imperial credits were accepted everywhere. Even the Alliance used this currency, as it was the standard throughout known space until the Empire finally fell. |
||
| + | == Restricted Items == |
||
| − | The New Republic, of course, minted its own credits after the victory at Endor and the establishment of the new galactic government. However, individual planets, regions, and sectors also adopted their own currencies, and the Imperial remnants issued their own scrip. Exchange rates fluctuated wildly throughout this period. The New Republic credit was established then years after the Battle of Endor and eventually emerged as the leading currency by the time of The New Jedi Order era. |
||
| + | ''Main Article: [[Restricted Items]]'' |
||
| + | Some objects require licenses to own or operate, or are restricted to qualifying organizations or individuals. In such cases, a character must pay a license fee to own the object legally. A license fee is a separate expense, purchased in addition to the object to which it applies. |
||
| − | === Carrying Credits === |
||
| − | The most common methods for keeping track of your credits are the credit chip or cred stick. These contain memory algorithms that can securely monitor the amount of credits available to the owner and accurately add to or subtract from that amount as transactions occur. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Wealth Beyond Credits === |
||
| − | Some characters with access to a ship deal in commodities. Han Solo, for example, smuggled goods from place to place before hooking up with the Rebel Alliance. Other characters might be legitimate traders, buying and selling commodities to pay their way across the galaxy (and subsidize the adventures in which they wind up participating). Guilds and governments regulate trade. Charters and licenses are granted, cargo is regularly inspected, trade routes are established, and port fees are posted. In general, small freighters might come to the attention of local ports and the occasional inspection vessel, but independent traders are otherwise given a lot of freedom when they conduct their business. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The following Trade Goods table gives baseline prices for fairy broad categories of goods. The Gamemaster can get more specific, add or remove items depending on supply and demand in the campaign, and adjust prices to reflect such fluctuations in the market. Also, prices can vary greatly in different regions of space, different star systems, and even between different plants within the same star system. |

| − | === Selling Items === |
||
| − | Sometime you'll come into possession of an item that you don't want. We're not talking about commodities here. Commodities are valuable goods that can easily be exchanged almost like cash. We're talking about individual items from the lists and tables presented later on. In general, a merchant will buy used equipment at half its listed price. If you have a blaster and want to upgrade to a heavy blaster pistol, you can sell the smaller blaster for half price. |

| − | == Restricted Items == |
||
| − | Some objects require licenses to own or operate, or are restricted to qualifying organizations or individuals. In such cases, a character must pay a license fee to own the object legally. A license fee is a seperate expense, purchased in addition to the object to which it applies. |

The four restriction ratings are as follows: |

| − | === Getting A License === |
||
| − | To get a license, you must pay the fee required to file the application. The amount of the fee is a percentage of the object's normal cost, as listed in Restricted Objects. Once you've paid the fee, make a Knowledge (bureaucracy) check against the DC listed in the Skill DC column. You can't take 10 or take 20 on this check. On a success, your license is approved and will be available to you in a number of days as listed in the Time Required column. On a failure, you spend a number of days as listed in the Time Required column, but you are not granted the license and your application fee is lost. You may try again as often as you like if you have the time and credits to do so. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Whether you succeed or fail on your Knowledge (bureaucracy) check, your request is recorded in public records. The more restricted the license, the more in-depth the background check required, and this leaves an increasingly detailed electronic trail for others to follow. |
||
| − | |||
| − | You can choose to secure a license through illicit means. If you want to bribe an official, make a Persuasion check instead of a Knowledge (bureaucracy) check. If you want to fabricate a false identity or steal another person's identity, make a Deception check instead of a Knowledge (bureaucracy) check. If either of these checks fails by 5 or more, the local authorities are alerted to your activities. |

| − | === The Black Market === |
||
| − | Almost anything is available on the black market. However, you must make a Gather Information check to locate a black market merchant who has the object you seek. The DC of the check is listed in the Skill DC column of the Restricted Objects table, and the GM may apply a bonus or penalty to the check depending on the circumstances. (For example, finding a black market dealer on the smuggler's moon of Nar Shaddaa is relatively easy and may warrant a +5 bonus on the check.) If you succeed on the Gather Information check, you find a black market merchant who has access to the item you seek. If you fail, you can try again later. If you fail by 5 or more, someone notices you've been asking questions and comes to capture, interrogate, or silence you. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Once you find someone who can get the item for you, you'll have to pay two, three, four, or five times the item's normal price (as listed in the Black Market Cost column of the Restricted Items table) and wait some time for the item to become available (as listed in the Time Required column). |

The same character would do well to conceal it while visiting the gleaming metropolis of Coruscant. |

||
| − | === Weapon Groups === |
||
| − | Discriminating combatants choose their weapons very carefully. However, a character who knows how to load and fire a slugthrower pistol can handle a blaster pistol just as expertly. Thus, weapons are categorized based on their form and function, and a character who takes the appropriate Weapon Proficiency feat is considered skilled with all of the weapons in that group. Exotic weapons such as bowcasters and flamethrowers are exceptions: An exotic weapon is unique in form and function, and requires special training (that is, the Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat) to wield proficiency. |

| − | The size of a weapon compared to your size determines whether the weapon is light, one-handed, two-handed, or too large for you to use. |
||
| + | Sometimes a mission calls for the use of more powerful explosives than either [[Grenades]] or [[Thermal Detonator|Thermal Detonators]]. Set Explosives aren't ranged weapons and can't be used like [[Grenades]]. Placing an Explosive requires a [[Mechanics]] check. |
||
| − | '''Light: '''If the weapon's size is smaller than your size (a Human using a Small weapon such as a blaster pistol), then the weapon is light. Light weapons can be used while grappling, and light melee weapons can be used with the Weapon Finesse feat. |

||
| − | '''Two-Handed: '''If the weapon's size category is one step larger than your size (a Human using a Large weapon, such as a light repeating blaster), then the weapon requires two hands to use (and sometimes a special mount such as a tripod). |

In a galaxy of high-tech wonders, the only limits to what types of equipment are commercially available depends on the inventors, merchants, and corporations that manufacture and supply them. Most of the items described in this page are available through legitimate arms and equipment traders.
Money
Main Article: Money
The galactic economy turns on the wealth and products of billions of worlds. Throughout the history of known space, money has gone by many names, but the basic unit always came back to the "credit." As the Republic waned and the Rise of the Empire approached (Circa Episodes I-III), the Republic credits (Also called "Dataries") no longer had much value beyond the Core Worlds and the Inner Rim. Instead, local currencies became popular. More often, people living and working in the distant regions wanted to trade in hard currency, not electronic credit chips.
Restricted Items
Main Article: Restricted Items
Some objects require licenses to own or operate, or are restricted to qualifying organizations or individuals. In such cases, a character must pay a license fee to own the object legally. A license fee is a separate expense, purchased in addition to the object to which it applies.
The four restriction ratings are as follows:
- Licensed: The owner must obtain a license to own or operate the object legally. Generally, the license is not expensive, and obtaining it has few if any additional legal requirements.
- Restricted: Only specifically qualified individuals or organizations are technically allowed to own the object. However, the real obstacles to ownership are time and money; anyone with sufficient patience and cash can eventually acquire the necessary license.
- Military: The object is sold primarily to legitimate police and military organizations. A military rating is essentially the same as restricted, except that manufacturers and dealers are generally under tight government scrutiny and are therefore especially wary of selling to private individuals.
- Illegal: The object is illegal in all but specific, highly regulated circumstances.
Weapons
Main Article: Weapons
The Galaxy is a dangerous place. Most people have access to some kind of weapon, and those who travel the space lanes often carry a blaster or some other weapon as a means of defense. A weapon's legality depends on where you are. No one would look twice at a character wearing a blaster at their side on Mos Espa or Nar Shaddaa. The same character would do well to conceal it while visiting the gleaming metropolis of Coruscant.
Explosives
Main Article: Explosives
Sometimes a mission calls for the use of more powerful explosives than either Grenades or Thermal Detonators. Set Explosives aren't ranged weapons and can't be used like Grenades. Placing an Explosive requires a Mechanics check.
Armor
Main Article: Armor
Protective armor exists in the Star Wars universe, but only the lightest types see widespread use. Heavier armor is considered to be too expensive, too restrictive, and just not worth the trouble unless it serves an additional function (Such as providing environmental protection, as in the case of Imperial Snowtrooper Armor).
General Equipment
Main Article: General Equipment
Weapons and Armor are not the only pieces of Equipment available in the Star Wars universe. Samples of common Equipment found through the universe has been divided into several categories and can be found in the main article.
Services and Expenses
Main Article: Services and Expenses
A brief listing of common Services and Expenses are given in the main article. The cost figures on the tables are guidelines only; the cost of certain Services and Expenses may be higher in isolated or primitive areas.
Encumbrance
Main Article: Encumbrance
Encumbrance rules determine how much Equipment slows you down. Encumbrance comes in two parts: Encumbrance by Armor, and encumbrance by total Weight.
Additional Equipment

Main Article: Gear Templates
In a Knights of the Old Republic campaign, a hero might have access to a wide variety of exotic gear with special properties not found in more common types of Equipment. Rather than list individual pieces of Equipment from dozens of different worlds in the galaxy- such as a Bothan Heavy Blaster Pistol or a suit of Arkanian Battle Armor- Gear Templates can be applied to normal Equipment statistics to produce an unusual version of an item.
