p. 123
Those worlds closest to the Galactic Core are generally considered to represent the pinnacle of galactic culture and civilization — especially by those who dwell within these systems. Cultural traditions vary substantially from system to system and even between planets within a given system. Perfectly acceptable behavior on one planet may represent grossly disruptive manners on another, even within this culturally distinct region of the galaxy.
The Core Worlds represent centers of trade and diplomacy that can connect planets in disparate portions of the galaxy.
- • If a character needs to identify a person's planet of origin without asking, they may make a Core Worlds check to recognize traits of their accent, dress, and mannerisms that are associated with a particular world.
- • When interacting with someone from a Core World, a character might make a Core Worlds check to know what behaviors are considered necessary and polite, as opposed to ones that could be offensive.
- • Characters who specialize in the transport and delivery of goods may make a Core Worlds check to identify which markets are the best places to sell or purchase a particular cargo. They may also recognize any worlds where such goods could be illegal.
Core Worlds Difficulty
The difficulty of a Core Worlds check is generally proportionate to the rarity of the information involved.
