1 Your characteristics are used to calculate many game values but
are rarely used directly. Whenever you attempt a task that might
fail, you make a skill check. The dice you roll for this check are
called your dice pool, and are based on your rank in that skill
and your characteristic. If you roll more # than Y , you succeed.

3 Soak value reduces incoming damage and can prevent wounds.

Your soak value is equal to the sum of your Brawn and the soak
value of your armor.

4 Wounds represent physical damage to your body. If your

wounds exceed your Wound Threshold, you are knocked out
and suffer a Critical Injury. Wounds can be recovered through the
Medicine skill and stimpacks.

5 Strain represents exhaustion, mental trauma, and being stunned.

You may voluntarily suffer 2 strain to perform an extra maneuver
on your turn. Strain comes and goes more quickly than wounds.
If your strain ever exceeds your Strain Threshold, you pass out.

 STORY
Cael of House Hanarist had it all. He was born into one of Alderaan's noble
Houses and could have lived a life of easy leisure. In a sense he did, if one
defines leisure as becoming one of Alderaan's foremost athletes and one of
the fastest limmie players to ever move a ball across the field. Cael had fame,
fortune, a charming fiancee from another noble House, and a lovely home in
Crevasse City. Though the direction of the galaxy under the Empire disturbed
Cael, he stood firmly behind the ideals of pacifism, believing that moderating
change would come from individuals working to improve the system from
within. After all, he thought, using violence against the Empire would only
affirm the might-makes-right logic that brought it to power in the first place.

Then Alderaan was destroyed by the Death Star and Cael's world was gone.
Cael happened to be offworld at the time, playing with Team Alderaan in the
Galactic Cup on Fondor. When news reached the limmie players, they were
devastated. The Galactic Cup was placed on hiatus, and Team Alderaan
evaporated, each member racing off across the galaxy to chase some rumor
or hope of finding far-flung family members and other survivors.

Cael used the last of his family's money to charter a ship and flew back to
Alderaan itself. Staring into the asteroid-strewn void that used to be his
home, something inside Cael broke. All his life, he had committed himself to
peace and non-violence, as was traditional among Alderaanians. He'd used
his celebrity status for the cause: he'd been part of peaceful protests on
Alderaan and Corellia, raised funds for war orphans, and lobbied in the Senate
for the dissolution of the Imperial war machine. All of it had come to nothing.

Confronted by the ashes of his world, Cael renounced his pacifism. Non-
violence had achieved nothing but the destruction of Alderaan, and the Empire
wouldn't be toppled by anything less than all-out military rebellion. Cael took
his chartered vessel to Chandrila and quickly found members of the Rebel
Alliance eager to recruit the young athlete. In a matter of weeks, Cael went
from limmie star to soldier, and he has never looked back.
