Equipment Availability Not all types of equipment, weapons in particular, are read ily available to the consume. Sometimes this lack of availablity s due to manufacturing and distribution timita- tions, sometimes to cultural restrictions, and sometimes to governmental regulation. The availability of an item reflects how common its to the average hero of the galaxy. In add tion to availability, an item may aso have legal restrictions placed an its use. The availability ratings defined below are generalizations, and loeal variations and regulations apply. In an area under ‘embargo by the Imperial Navy, all equipment, even the most ‘common, is harder to locate. Certain planets of cities may place additional limitations on the use of certain weapons For example, most weapons (even those rated as prevalent) are restricted on the peaceful world of Alderaan, At the other end of the spectrum, all ut the most deadly egal devices are tolerated on some of the more violent worlds af the Outer Rim, Every item has an availability legal restictons, Pravalant: The item is readily available throughout the sala.

The aiven price is fora surplus item of serviceable quality Restricted: Members of the general public cannot legally purchase or own the item; sale or awnership requtes govern mental license and approval A restricted item brought into a system may be locked down on its ship, quarantined, or confiscated.

In general, any item that isnot either restricted o legal can be acquired through the resource access special ability. ‘Acquiring items of restricted or legal lasification require ealing in a favor. For restricted equipment, the favor check DC is 20, assuming that the appropriate docu mentation fs included, though it may be either accurate or Forged. Without documentation, teat restricted equipment as egal For illegal equipment, the favor check DC is 25 ot perhaps. higher. In some places, & particular Mlegal item may simply nat be available The Eras of Play The vast majority of the equipment and weapons in this book are available in all three common eras of play. Most of the items had been common features of galactic lie for ‘ecades~even centuries-before the assault on Naboo.

An item is not Usually available in eras prior to it first appearance (though prototypes are always possiblel.

The Black Market “Everything is forsale,” said one enterprising and open= minded Imperial bureaucrat, “ifthe price i ight.” The black market thrives on this ethos, providing otherwise unavailable materials without pesky licenses and permissions (though reasonable facsimiles of documentation are available for 3 surcharge, usually about 10% of th pric Contacting representatives of the black market and closing the deal can be an ativentore in itself, Asa rule of thumb, items involved in black market dealings should cost at least triple the normal price, Barter is aeceptable within the black market, though the items offered should, again, be worth triple the normal price of the desired item ‘Most individuals contact the black market for items that are not normally available trough common channels. This may be the result of lacal government concerns, or pethaps a ppangalactic ban on particularly noxious or dangerous items The Corporate Sector, for example, fs notable for its restric tions om luxury items commonly available elsewhere in the galaxy. These restrictions result in a thriving black market tnd create golden opportunities for smagglers, Other eondix tions that encourage the black market may crop up where traditional forms of commence have broken down (Juting fartime, for example} oF in times of local scarcity (during famines and plagues) The black market, as befits is status is the domain of crime lords and other colorful individuals who may see themselves as pety rulers oftheir own domains, of as impor fant linchpins in galactic commerce. Such an individual must bee reasoned with, flatered, and paid off to gain the needed ‘equipment. in general, the individual knows he fs holding a ‘wining hand, and vrings as much in concessions as he feels the market wil beat Tn addition to other challenges in dealing with the black market, delivery may be problematic, and the item may not be in the best possible shape (not to mention the possibilty ‘of potential interference of the local government in the transection).

If you don’t have the proper tools, you take a 5 penalty on the check, To make the modification, follow these steps 1. Find the item’s pric, either from Chapter Seven of the Siar Wars Roleplaying Game, fram this volume, or from the GM. Do not multiply it by 10, as you would for a standard Craft check. 2. Pay one-quarter of the item's price for raw materials. 43 Determine the price of the modified item, A modified ‘weapon's cost i increased by 50% of the weapon's base cost for each modification. For example, a blaster pistol costs 500 credits. A blaster pistol with ane modification costs 750 credits, and a blaster pistol with two modifications costs 1,000 eres. ‘4, Make an appropriate skill check to reflect one day's work, against the DC given on Table 1-1 If the check succeeds, multiply the check result by your skill modifier (your appropriate skill ranks + your Inteligence modifier + any appropriate miscellaneous modifiers) 1 that number ‘equals or exceeds the modified item's price, you have completed the modification, IF your check result x your skill modifier is lower than the ‘modified item's pric, then that number represents progress you have made this day toward completing the modified item.
