Letter Writing Campaign

A new publisher has the rights to print the Star Wars RPG, and this gives us an opportunity to request that they release an Unknown Regions sourcebook.

Timothy Zahn has previously worked with a game company on Source Material, most notably Adventure Journal Volume One Number 7 for West End Games.

So we want to request that they make an Unknown Regions Source Book with Timothy Zahn as an adviser.

The company Edge Studio has an open contact, so let us try to flood them with requests to show them there is a market.

Points to hit when Writing In:

The Unknown Region is an untapped area for adventure

Timothy Zahn knows the most about the Unknown Region and has previously worked with West End Games.

The Unknown Region has many fans outside the RPG community who would purchase a sourcebook just for the information.

Official Novels about the Unknown Regions and characters from there do exceptionally well, Including the Original Thrawn Trilogy being the best-selling Star Wars Novel Series.

Thrawn who is from the Unknown Region is about to show up in live action, which will bring interest to his people and where the character is from in general.

The contact for Edge Studio is at the following Link https://edge-studio.net/contact/

Season One: Episode 2 Part One

Cold Comfort

Eli Vanto wakes up and finds out about what happened Thrawn shares his plans for the future.

Cast Grand Admiral Thrawn Commander Eli Vanto Wing Commander Dulse Srinivas

Doctor Ran

Wintu has been staying near Eli while he's in his coma, reading to him. When Eli wakes up it takes a moment for Win to realize but when he does he leaves his droid Sora with Eli and runs off to get Thrawn. Sora being a droid built like a spider does a little welcome back dance and Eli tells the droid "Hello." with a smile.

Thrawn is working in the Janitor's Closet he's taken over as an office. After finding out Eli is awake and getting a food bar and will hurry to go see Eli.

Wintu returns and asks for permission to give Eli a hug, it's granted.

Thrawn arrives, and Eli notices he is working very hard and not entirely taking care of himself. They discuss what happened and conclude that someone inside the Empire likely set this up. After discussing things for a bit a Nurse will come over to check on Eli and tell him he should be up in a couple of weeks. After protests, Eli is informed the only reason Thrawn isn't in a bed is that Doctor Ran has given up trying to control him.

Dulse will enter and Eli is informed the Wing Commander was sent for by Thrawn due to his excellent record, Eli suspects it might also have something to do with their interaction at the Academy.

Doctor Ran enters and gives Thrawn a blanket and soup before confirming Eli's check-up. She might have given up on getting Thrawn to stay in bed but she's not truly defeated that easily.

The group talk about their options and decided to recruit a new ISB Agent. Thrawn has decided upon Agent Alexandr Kallus.

Game Quotes

Kallus will enter the training room, "Now Crewman Lak, you are to be instructed in self-defence."

"Yes Mr Kallus Sir," Wintu will say, "Should I do warm ups or stretches or something?"

"Yes, do the usual stretches for your muscles."

Wintu will raise his hand, "What are those sir?"

Kallus will sigh.
