As Copied From: www.starwars.com

January 18, 2001 -- The second issue of Star Wars Gamer -- Wizards of the Coast's full-color bimonthy magazine -- features a fleet's worth of pirates, privateers and pilots in various articles and short stories set in the Star Wars galaxy.

Legendary smugglers Fenig Nabon and Talon Karrde cut a deal full of compli-cations in "A Credit for Your Thoughts," a short story by Tish Eggleston Pahl and Chris Cassidy. Daniel Wallace tells a tale of Captain Panaka uncovering a sinister conspiracy on Naboo with the unlikely help of an ancient leviathan in "The Monster." 

Players of the roleplaying game will find an assortment of pilot portraits in the Rogues Gallery that will help you round out your character's appearance. An article on the Corellian Engineering Corporation provides several new ship designs to use. The University of Sambra's Guide to Intelligent Life this time takes a close look at the Duros. 

Two adventures provide quick tales for gamemasters looking to tell a story: "The Lambda Heist" gives the players the assignment of stealing an Imperial shuttle. "Snow Job" sets the heroes in the midst of a crossfire on the frigid world of Ando Prime. 

For players of the Star Wars Customizable Card Game, Gamer provides deckbuilding tips for the Death Star II expansion set -- including a recipe for a powerful Rogue Squadron-themed deck. 

The latest look at LucasArts rounds out this issue, with coverage of Super Bombad Racing, Starfighter and Star Wars: Demolition. 

The second issue of Star Wars Gamer hits newstands in February. For more information about Star Wars roleplaying games, visit the Wizards of the Coast website here.
