The player first chooses a template from one of the tables; this will tell the materials/cost of building, hard hard it is (Check required), and what type of item results upon success. It's up to players / GM to come up with specific of how exactly the item works, details of its construction, appearance, etc.

There is no specific time requirement for selecting a template; this is up to GM/player discretion. Also up to GM discretion is whether a given template is available; generally most should be made available, but for more interesting story purposes, the GM (or player) can require the character to spend time researching / adventuring to acquire the knowledge / blueprints required for a given template.

Crafting cost is based on the “Material Price / Rarity” column for the selected template. For mechanical purposes, the materials count as a single item w/ the listed cost & rarity.

Again, GM/player creativity applies here; materials may not need to be actually paid for to be acquired (salvaging, theft, being gifted w/ them, etc).

Again, no specific time limit is listed for this step; it takes however much time the PC requires to physically obtain the materials.

After obtaining materials, the PC must make the associated check (listed on the chosen Template) to actually construct the item. If the character succeeds, the item is fully functional & has the profile listed on the corresponding table. If the character fails, the end result is unusable, and the materials are lost.

There are also suggestions for “Spending Results” for any , , , and/or generated during the check. Crafters may first choose how to spend & , then the GM can spend & to add flaws. Unless a limit is specified, an option may be selected any number of times, and its effects stack.

Construction time is determined by the time listed in the Template. Every beyond the fist reduces the time by 2 hours (to minimum of 1 hour).

For particularly complex machines, such as droid, multiple checks might be required for construction. See Droid Crafting Additional Rules for more details.

Any weapon with the Limited Ammo quality is crafted with a number of rounds equal to its Limited Ammo quality.

When building a vehicle or starship, the crafter must first construct the 3 core components: Frame, Engine, Hull. For each core component, the crafter must choose a template, acquire the materials, and perform the listed checks over the time specified.

At the GM's discretion, a PC could replace one or more core components of an existing craft, using the existing vehicle's profile as the frame, and replaces the engine and/or hull with appropriate attachments, replacing the listed elements of the craft as usual. The Assembly check uses the difficulty, time, and additional costs dictated by the craft's silhouette. A character may replace an existing engine to add two HP, replace an existing hull to add 3 HP. Some craft are too precisely built to be customized in this way - the GM is the final arbiter of what may be replaced.

The skeleton of a starship/vehicle. It is treated as an inoperable ship/vehicle until specific attachments are added during Step 4: Assembly. The frame provides the craft's baseline parameters.

Space station: when the engines are set on the station, speed remains zero no matter the engine type (other attributes from the engine apply as normal).

Max Speed by Silhouette: 0=3, 1=4, 2=5, 3=6, 4=4, 5-7=3, 8+=2 (these speeds trump other factors that otherwise indicate higher speeds).

Installing an Engine adds modifiers to the frame and is necessary for operation.

Hyperdrives are treated as a starship attachment.

Price/Rarity: 3,000/3 (Class 8); 6,000/4 (Class 4)

Base Modifiers: Add one primary hyperdrive and astromech droid socket (starfighters only)

Mod Options: 4 x “Reduce primary hypedrive rating by 1 (min 0.5)” mods; 1 “Add Class 14 backup hyperdrive rating by 1” mod.

Hard Points Required: 1

Profiles, Templates

Cybernetics must be installed to provide the listed benefits.

A full medical facility can usually install cybernetics without a check. However, in other less-than-ideal circumstances, a PC might need to make a check.

Installing a cybernetic requires at least basic med supplies (such as emergency medpac). The character must spend 6 hours & make a Hard () Medicine check. Increase the difficulty twice if the character is operating on themself. On success, the cybernetic is attached & functional. On failure, the cybernetic doesn't take & suffers minor damage. GM may spend to inflict 3 strain or 1 wound on the patient, and may spend to have the patient suffers a Critical Injury from the botched surgery.

Droid crafting follows the first 3 crafting steps per normal. After Step 3: Construction in completed successfully, the PC is left with a lifeless chassis. The character may proceed to Step 4: Program Directives at any point to finish the droid.

This step is required to add actual intelligence to the lifeless chassis. The character chooses one of the Droid Directive Templates and makes the listed check over the amount of time required.

If the character fails, the only thing lost is the time. Step 4 may be attempted again at the next available opportunity.

If the character succeeds, the droid is brought online after the number of hours listed; every on the check beyond the first reduces the time by 2 hours (to a minimum of 1). The droid is then an NPC possessing the characteristics & attributes detailed in its Chassis Template & Directive Template.

Spending , , , and from the Directive Programming check follows the guidelines in the Spending Droid Programming Results table; as with Step 3, the player first spends & , then the GM spends & .
