The rules represented here are those drawn from West End Games' Star Wars Roleplaying, Second Edition Revised Rulebook. They cover combat between characters and vehicles and are provided as an optional alternative to the simplified rules used on Star Wars MUSH and detailed in NEWS COMBAT. Combat involving Starships is dealt with by the Space Combat and optional Advanced Space Combat systems. Any task which carries a consequence of failure (including simply wasted time, if time is an issue) is grounds for a skill check.
