Polyhedron issue 99, a periodical dedicated to roleplaying games, was released in September of 1994. Inside, readers could find a variety of articles related to roleplaying, notably a rules expansion for the Star Wars D6 system by West End Games. "Lightsabers: And the Force in the Star Wars New Republic," authored by Bill Slavicsek together with Michele Carter, presented this additional material. Due to the publication practices of Polyhedron before 2002, the canonical status of this article is not definitively established and remains canon.
