Cool, thanks for sharing!

I forgot to mention that the Starguard 1st Edition Reprint can also be bought at:

I use different versions of Starguard based on how I feel on any given day. I like 1st and 2nd edition for quickness of play. But I like Warbots and 7th edition when I want more crunchy.

I am thinking of using the Starwar 2250 map for my campaign. When Hishin Slavers are called for I am going to use Ralnai. And when pirates are called for, I plan on using Eli. As a side note, the Eli did not show up until Starguard 2nd Edition in 1976, if I remember correctly. Of course, bugs are Dreenoi.

I am also going to try using 5150 Known Space for rolling up star systems. It's quicker than Starwar 2250. I haven't come up with a chart to determine life forms present yet though.

I haven't come up with a chart to determine life forms present yet though.

Known Space has three categories of planets, Class 1 (Earthlike), Class 2 (Marginally habitable – like Tatooine) and Class 3 (Hostile atmo, airless rock, etc), but really only focuses on life forms as adventure hooks. SO if you're exploring a Class 2 planet there's chance of running into Xeno-critters of some type, which may or may not be hostile, and each planet also falls within some star-faring species sphere of influence, which would determined what intelligent life you meet. But more detailed planet rules in this area would be cool!
