Star Wars RPG: Nexus of Power Announced
The Latest Sourcebook for all your Star Wars Adventures has been announced – GM’s and players alike will want to check this out!
The Force is not just strong in people… Places have power, too. Nexus of Power is about those places. This is a great follow-up to the last Star Wars RPG book. With Nexus of Power FFG has started to flush out even more force-sensitive (and thus plot rich environments) locations to explore.
Nexus of Power $39.95
Nexus of Power, a forthcoming sourcebook for Star Wars®: Force and Destiny™, enables players to visit these iconic places and many more. Its 144 stunningly illustrated pages provide lavish details on places strong with the Force, such as Dagobah’s tree cave and worlds with rich Force traditions, such as Bardotta. Eight modular encounters provide Game Masters ready-made gateways into these locations that can be used as single-session adventures or launching points for entire campaigns. Players will find new playable species, vehicles, and gear, as well as plentiful resources for crafting Force sensitive characters with rich backgrounds and distinctive personalities.
Among the galaxy’s millions of planets only a scant few resonate with the Force. Twelve of these rare worlds are opened up in Nexus of Power. Some you can travel to freely, others have been quarantined by the Empire. Some are home to billions of sentient beings, others struggle to support a few forms of life. Some, like Naboo, have played an important role in the politics of the Old Republic and the Galactic Empire. Others, like Lothal, are sparsely populated worlds in the Outer Rim, unremarkable—unless you know what to look for.
Still others are ancient and mysterious worlds hidden in the vastness of space, impossible for all but a select few Force users to find. The planet Ossus, for example, seems to be located within the Cron Drift asteroid field. At the end of the drift you can find scoundrels vending false astrogation charts to thrill-seekers attempting to find Ossus. Other criminals claim to have found it and retrieved artifacts with incredible powers—which they will sell you for just the right price. The Empire even refuses to comment on the planet’s existence. But Ossus does exist, and with Nexus of Power you can explore its ancient bronzium buildings, deep canyons, and dessicated ruins of gardens.

A vergence is a place where the Force concentrates like a whirlpool in a flowing river. That place may be a small cave or an entire planet where light and dark constantly vie for surpremacy. Many Jedi temples, including the one on Coruscant, are built atop vergences that lie deep in the earth. Other vergences, like the tree cave on Dagobah, are unmarked by architecture and almost imperceptible to all but the Force sensitive. To those who feel the Force deeply, however, simply approaching a vergence can be overwhelming.
If you’re looking for exciting new locations for your force-sensitives to explore to learn about the force this is the book for you. Then again, less scrupulous types may want to go the smuggling route…I’m sure there are bound to be artifacts just waiting to be sold at the right price. Can you imagine an Indian Jones style dungeon crawl set in the Star Wars Universe? YES PLEASE!
