Dawn of Defiance

In the months after the Empire's rise to power, the players are recruited by Bail Organa as special agents. They rescue Imperial traitor Admiral Gilder Varth from a prison on Felucia and begin following a series of clues about a mysterious Imperial endeavor, the Sarlacc Project. Along the way, they'll visit Hutt palaces, participate in high-stakes games of Sabacc, explore ruined Jedi temples, liberate occupied planets, and repeatedly face off against an Inquisitor and his minions.

Escape from Mos Shuuta

This is a beginner adventure designed to introduce new players and GMs to the system. The players have run afoul of the crime lord Teemo the Hutt and must steal a ship from a Trandoshan bounty hunter in order to get off-world and escape the Hutt's wrath. There are two versions of this adventure--one includes rules explanations for brand-new GMs, while the other omits these explanations and is designed to work with the follow-up adventure, The Long Arm of the Hutt.

Heists and Holocrons

This is a collection of short heist-based adventures. They can be run in sequence as a campaign, or as individual one-shots. So far, only one adventure is completed, with twelve more planned in the future.

Let Sleeping Lugubraa Lie

The players are pulled out of hyperspace by an anomaly. Stranded with ruptured fuel lines, they must explore a wrecked mining ship to find fuel and parts for repairs. The other ship's crew are dead, and soon the players learn why--a swarm of monsters from the Unknown Regions was released aboard the ship, and the players will have to fight their way out!

Setting: The Miser's Purse, a wrecked smuggling ship

Character Level: 3

Lost Mine of Kessel

The players have been hired by a Quarren named Gundark Roksek to escort a ship to a trading post on Formos. After they discover that Gundark's ship has been shot down by raiders, they must set out to rescue him. Along the way, they'll face beasts, droids, cultists, and Mandalorians, learning clues about the mysterious Wave Echo Mine as they go. In the end, they must fight their way through the Mine and defeat the sinister Black Rancor in order to claim the treasure that lies within.

NOTE: This is one of two conversions of Lost Mine of Phandelver for SW5e. Compared to Lost Mine of Valnor, Lost Mine of Kessel is more era-agnostic, has converted maps, and has had more reflavoring (more of the names changed to be more Star Wars-y). It also features a forcecaster BBEG, while the other version uses a techcaster BBEG. I recommend looking at both conversions and picking which you like better, or mixing and matching elements of both.

Lost Mine of Valnor

The players have been hired by the Corellian Gundren Rockseeker to escort a transport to the city of Neo Valnor. After surviving a Jawa ambush, they learn that Gundren has been taken captive. This sets them on a path to rescue him, facing off along the way against ruffians, beasts, dark cultists, fallen Jedi, and Clawdite agents, and learning clues about the mysterious Wave Echo Cave as they go. In the end, they must fight their way through the Cave and defeat the sinister Black Spider in order to claim the treasure that lies within.

This isn't just an adventure--it's also a sourcebook, including information on locations, characters, and creatures across Tatooine, as well as rules for podracing. The final chapter includes a short adventure, Between Sand and Sky, which sees the players getting mixed up in a plot to assassinate Jabba the Hutt by tricking him into wearing tirginni cologne, which will attract a fearsome mole serpent. NOTE: this conversion is unfinished, and while the story information is present, not all the stat blocks are complete and not all the mechanics work with the SW5e system. Running it will require some work on the part of the GM to cover those gaps.
