Galaxies - The Ruins of Dantooine
by Haden Blackman and Voronica Whitney-Robinson
It is a time of great turmoil. The oppresive Empire is close to seizing complete control of the galaxy.

She agrees to help Rebel spy Finn Darktrin in his quest to recover the crucial Holocron. Despite help from Han, Luke and Leia the mission is fraught with peril.

There’s more to the arms, artillery, and exotic equipment of the Star Wars galaxy than Jedi lightsabers and blasters.

This exhaustive compendium includes:
• New in this edition: A fascinating look at the historical significance of Star Wars weaponry and the major technological turning points—including the Clone Wars, the creation of the first Death Star, and the Yuuzhan Vong invasion
