Insects, eh? That might be interesting. I'm not sure how'd they'd work it in, but they've pulled off worse things before.

I'd like to see a planet that an area that was a giant insect hive.

Like Geonosis?

Possibly, but Geonosis was kind of a lame planet, at least, I thought it was.

Verpine maybe, would be interesting.

Geonosis wasn't hive-enough.

Geonosis wasn't hive-enough.

No, it sure wasn't. It didn't really seem believable. So what about the Verpine? What's the name of their planet? And here's another planet idea: Bpfassh.

Umm, does anybody else know what I'm talking about?

 

The Planet Bpfassh?

hmmm...Geonosis reminded me of Korriban (a barren world)

Yes, it did rather seem to be a bit of a wasteland, didn't it?

I remember the Verpine from a module from the WEG RPG, but they where on a secret rebel shipyard in an asteroid field (building B-wings). I don't recall anything about a homeworld.

 

Curiously they look a little like Trade Federation Battle Droids (this was long before EP 1).

Yup, but they had long faces and thin limbs like the battle droids.

The Verpine were definitely insectoid.

Okay, here's the scoop on Bpfassh, again taken from the net:

 

"A double planet with a complicated system of moons in the Bpfassh system, located near Praesitlyn and Sluis Van in the Sluis sector. During the Clone Wars some Bpfasshi Dark Jedi created trouble throughout the sector, and a Jedi task force (including Jorus C'baoth) was formed to oppose them. One Dark Jedi made it as far as Dagobah before his death. Because of the insurrection, most Bpfasshi today dislike all Jedi. Bpfassh was also the target of a hit-and-fade attack by Grand Admiral Thrawn and the site of an attempted abduction of Leia Organa Solo. During their search for Delta Source, Leia and Winter analyzed an intelligence report from the Bpfassh system suggesting the Star Destroyer Chimaera was at Anchoron."

 

It looks like a planet with a lot of Dark Jedi history. It might fit in well with "the Sith Lords."

Sounds cool. you know anything more about it?

Not really. I'll see what I can dig up. Meanwhile, is there anyone else who knows a little bit more about some of these planets?

If you want to know more about Bpfassh, I'd check in Zahn's original trilogy (Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, The Last Command). It's a fairly important location during that time period.

Thanks for the info, Michael Chu. However, I'm now betting that Bpfassh isn't in the game. Am I right?

Here's a lttle bit more on Bpfassh off the net:

 

The main body of the Bpfassh system is a twin planet orbited by numerous moons. The inhabitants of the twin worlds, called the Bpfasshi, do not like Jedi. In the days of the Clone Wars, a group of Bpfasshi Dark Jedi spread terror throughout the system, and in fact the entire Sluis sector before being stopped by an unknown person (or persons) on Dagobah.

Hmm, maybe that explains why there's places tainted (or filled) with the dark side there.

You might be able to pick up the Thrawn Trilogy Sourcebook by West End Games. It was for the D6 system, but I heard Zahn collaborated on it.

 

Here, for instance. I used to have it, but lost it somewhere. Had a really nice picture of Winter in it too.

Zahn got big into West End's roleplaying game. He worked on sourcebooks, and regularly contributed to the Star Wars Adventure Journal.

Yes, this info would definitely explain the dark side presence on Bpfassh. Hmm...

 

We don't seem to have a shortage of dark side - influenced worlds...

Maybe this child will bring balance to the Force.

Wouldn't that be interesting...
