Astral Projections – Brezak for FFG Star Wars

© 2021 Disney/LucasFilm Ltd.

Brezaks are carnivorous flying creatures native to Zygerria. Their somewhat stumpy, leathery “wings” are partially webbed between front and rear legs. Brezaks are primarily gliders; however they have some ability to fly. They have been seen to leap upwards into the air. In addition to a toothy maw, brezaks have a long, heavy tail that they use in combat to bash and shove opponents. They are often used as mounts by Zygerrians.

Design & Play Notes: One of these flying mounts was recently featured on The Bad Batch episode “Rampage.” It had to be pretty tough to stand up to even a juvenile rancor for as long as it did.

While sources describe the brezak as a “glider,” rather than a flyer, this isn’t strictly true, judging from some of its moves in “Rampage.” A creature that only glides often launches from a high point and catches air currents; however gliders can’t do that from a lower point, like the ground, which it is shown doing at least once in “Rampage.”

Riding characteristics are from the Beast Riding Rules in Stay On Target, pp. 80-81. If you do not have the book, these characteristics work just like the vehicle characteristics of the same names. (In all other respects the mount is treated like any other NPC.)
