[Dunames Lopez]

Intent: To provide the galaxy with a guide for the everyday person about the specialties of Force-users
Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: Taking Off on a Star Tour
Model: Star Tours Guide to Force Specialties handbook
Affiliation: Open Market
Modularity: No
Production: Mass-Produced.
Material: Paper

Strengths:

• Provides a succinct description of all major specialties of Force-users regardless of Force-alignment, at a level that is understandable by NFUs
• Provides an accurate historical overview of how each specialty evolved

Weaknesses:

• Does not teach anything about the usage of the Force
• Does not go in-depth about each specialty of Force-users
• Grossly inaccurate for Witch specialties
• Easily flammable

Description: The Star Tours Guide to Force Specialties is actually a crowdsourced compendium of Force-user specialties. Unlike its predecessor, The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force, the STGFS is different in at least two major ways: it does not aim at teaching anybody how to use the Force, but its description of each Force-user specialty is expanded to include all three major Force-cults, that is, Jedi, Sith and Witches, rather than Jedi alone. The book is prefaced by saying that many Force-users are a combination of the aforementionned specialties. It is organized in seven major chapters, three each for Jedi and Sith, named after the broad category name on both sides of the Force, and the last one for Witches:

1. Consulars (7 subclasses)
2. Sentinels (5 subclasses)
3. Guardians (4 subclasses)
4. Inquisitors
5. Assassins
6. Marauders
7. Witches (10 subclasses)

All categories are covered in the book to a level that the vast majority of denizens of the galaxy, which is unable to use the Force, will understand. As a result, it does not go in that much depth. In addition, because many Force-users are actually a combination of several subclasses, it is presented in a little cut-and-dry fashion.

Yours is an average 100% NFU company. So far as I can tell, its operations don't have anything to do with systematic knowledge about Force stuff, let alone three wildly different traditions. As a result, here are your options:

A ) Do 15 posts in which you interview representatives of all three traditions on the subject matter of this book. None of them may be RPed by you.
B ) Include substantial inaccuracies.
C ) I can archive this for you.

[member="Jorus Merrill"] One would think that such cut-and-dry characterization of Force-users would introduce some level of inaccuracy...

 

[Jorus Merrill]

[member="Dunames Lopez"] - Sorry but you'll need more substantial inaccuracies than that if you want to avoid the dev therad. Your company simply doesn't have the IC knowledge to make something like this.

[member="Jorus Merrill"] Unfortunately the dev threads are far from complete...

You know what, don't worry about it. Your further edits, since we last talked, are enough for me.
