Thanks for the plug Indy.

Crossover 2000 is the only thing up right now.	1998 and 1999 have not
been
moved over to the new site yet and 2001 along with the rest of GenCon
pictures are still not up but I hope to have them up someday this
century
(98 years to go). 2000 does have examples of all the Star Wars Empire
and
Rebel ships including the Super Star Destroyer.

Those ships are my interprtations of them, others will vary.  They were
designed with fun in mind and balance so they might be slightly off from
cannon facts.  How would I run a DeathStar II game, I'd make one edge
the
Death Star and fighters have to get there.  When the DeathStar starts
firings, it shoots at a single ship.  Roll 3d6, on a 3 it takes 40
points of
damage, every other result means it is blown to bits. ;-)

So what is in store for Crossover 2002 at GenCon? (I'm still not
officailly
attending but the 2 games scheduled are sold out) Its called "Sci-Fi
Crossover: Federation and Empire?"  Everyone's favorite Starfleet has to
take on the Empire......not the Klingon Empire though, they fight the
Palpatine's Empire and its Star Destroyers.
