Fantasy Flight Games just announced the very first module for their new Star Wars role-playing game, Edge of the Empire. EoE is the first of three sets of rule books planned for the Star Wars license, and focuses on the “scum and villainy” of the Star Wars universe. You can play a smuggler, bounty hunter, technicians, and explorers. Further rule books will explore the pilots and warriors of the Rebellion, and then finally throw players into playing characters that are strong in the Force.

The first module for Edge of the Empire is already looking great: Beyond the Rim will send players off to the edges of Wildspace, a jungle planet, and Raxus Prime. Long time fans of Star Wars will be happy to know that Fantasy Flight will be drawing on inspiration from both the original and prequel movies, as well as the Clone Wars series and comics!
