Star Wars RPG Campaign Setting (2019 & 2020) - Reactivated for May the 4th 2022 - Re-opened 2024
Overview of the Correx Sector Part 1
The Correx Sector is a small region of space limited to the confines of the Correx Expanse. Located on the fringe of known space with the hyperspace lane linking Teth to Correx Prime, the Correx Sector has been slow to relinquish its wealth and many planetary systems lie hidden and unreachable deep within the interstellar clouds of the everchanging maelstrom of space. It is believed that the Expanse is the remnant of a colossal supernova that occurred tens of thousands of years ago.

As you can see all the planets have names yet but I have marked the key imperial planets with a symbol of the empire.
The values between each planet note the travel time in hours via hyperspace, the original WEG RPG the spaces had a hyperspace modifier that helped calculate the travel time between planets or systems.
I decided to keep that in as it helps with time events in the game, so, for example, the empire is moving a fleet to blockade a planet and the players have to get there and off again I would have an idea of how long they have.

Hyperspace travel in WEG 1st edition was slow… days or weeks to cross the galaxy. 2nd edition reduced it significantly and now in the movies it seems to take only a matter of hours to cross the galaxy which I feel takes some of the fun out of the gaming… and takes away a sense of urgency. How do you play a wookiee at holo-chess if you only have a few minutes travel time? I’ve been playing Star Wars RPG’s since the WEG 1st edition and still have those books along with a very tattered 2nd edition and last year… Read more »
Thanks for the comments, I have all the WEG, D20 WOTC and most of the FFG stuff in one format or another and I love the WEG system. I was looking at using the SW5E system as the group I play with we all have been playing 5e (just hit level 20) and we did play WEG but I think for a new start try something new or may use the FFG stuff.
For me, one of the problems with FFG system was the talent trees. You end up having to buy stuff you don’t need to get stuff you do. I was mainly GM, but did spend a little time as player and felt constrained by the rules (I feel that 5e puts similar restrictions on character development, ditto with Modiphius Conan) and the FFG game didn’t feel very heroic to me. WEG can get out of hand with dice pools, but when you spend a force point and your dice pool doubles… you can do some ridiculous things… it made it… Read more »
I would go for the SW5E one as it has a load of content and an active Reddit page as well.
Epic work so far! I love the PS maps! 😀
Thanks @oriskany
