Galaxy Guide 9: Fragments from the Rim
Galaxy Guide 9: Fragments from the Rim is a supplement to Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game published by West End Games. It was written by Simon Smith and Eric Trautmann and was first published in 1993.
The book is a collection of trivia, rumors, news, and information arising in the Outer Rim Territories. The descriptions given are set during the Rebellion era. It covers organization and character backgrounds plus some Force training related articles and general atmosphere ideas. It is not an exhaustive documentation of a single topic, but a compilation of ideas to be added to gamemaster-made adventures or to serve as inspiration for one's own creations.
Galaxy Guide 9: Fragments from the Rim is set in the time period following the Battle of Yavin, but before the Battle of Endor, during the preliminary development stages of the Empire's second Death Star.
