During the first campaign I played in back in 1997-1998 I drew my first Star Wars® Deckplans for my own ship, for other players, and ships of other GM characters. These are very crude and simple compared to our latest work. Due to numerous requests, we are displaying these older artworks here.
Deckplans on this page, are not 100% compatible with our latest Deckplan Graphic Standards. The scale and colors differ from our present artwork. For those GMs and players waiting for the newer versions of some of these ships, you may find these deckplans useful in the mean time. ENJOY!

It is here, with this deckplan, where this alliance of artists all began. This was drawn by: none other than Mr. Robert Brown (B^2). When I first saw this deckplan in early 1997 on Mr. Brown's now defunct “Ship of Riddles” website, my life would never be the same. After studying the site, I realized it was my calling to draw deckplans for the STAR WARS RPG. Using Rob's deckplan as a guide, I set out on the long road to developing my own.

This is an old incomplete deckplan of the Millennium Falcon circa 1997. You will note at this time I still used Mr. Brown's blue background. This would later be dropped in favor of the present day white background. This change was suggested by Chuck Rothberg to save on printer ink, and to make it easier to pencil in notes on the deckplan printout as play progressed. You will also notice the red outlines of the exterior of the ship. This too was copied from Mr. Brown's work. These transparent frameworks were later removed for increased clarity, but the red outlines still remain at the perimeter of sections in present day deckplans.

This is an old exterior of the Millennium Falcon circa 1998. It was drawn by: studying the few available pictures of the ILM studio model. We have taken new photos of the 173cm Millennium Falcon studio model when it was displayed at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. These photos will allow for far greater detail in the future YT deckplan series in the years to come. — Frank V Bonura
Here is the old Millennium Falcon deckplan. It was abandoned when word of “The Magic of Myth” exhibition was coming to the Brooklyn Museum of Art. The original appeared in Robert Brown's “Ship of Riddles” website. What you see here has been upgraded several times, but is very similar to the deckplan that I drew for and appeared on his site. This deckplan represents our latest theories on the YT-1300 entry ramp based on movie footage. A more accurate deckplan of the Millennium Falcon and YT-1300 series is being developed. — Frank V Bonura
Here is an old deckplan of the YT-1300 Tradesman circa 1998. The Tradesman represented what a stock YT-1300 would look like. This deckplan has a loading crane option for cargo loading through the mandibles. — Frank V Bonura
I decided to develop a step-by-step demonstration of the PES-550 escape system. The project was mothballed when the YT deckplans were abandoned. We will try again if We ever finish the new YT series. — Frank V Bonura
Here is a deckplan of my personal freighter. The Ship's captain was my character Drelve Blakeland. My ship was a modified center-cockpit YT-1300. This freighter was equipped with a bacta tank, and a game room. Other mods include: Upgraded lateral jets, hull plating, space 5 (50 MGLT) engines, shield generators, and two turret mounted heavy laser cannons. The ship was destroyed in combat engaging TIE interceptors. My character ejected and was rescued by Rebel Alliance forces. — Frank V Bonura
This is an old version the Ghtroc 720 that was rendered obsolete by our new, and updated Ghtroc Class 720 Freighter. It was drawn in a strange 5 pixels to the foot scale. With very poor space usage and no account for the third dimension, the old design was abandoned. This deckplan also is only one deck high which I now know is incorrect. In these early days, I borrowed elements from my mentor Mike Marincic. Some of his elements appear in this deckplan. Thank you Mike for your inspiration. The new deckplan resolves the problems of this design and uses new Ghtroc specific parts that work much more efficiently. — Frank V Bonura
This is what the Gymsnor-3 originally looked like before I did the Revised and Expanded Gymsnor-3 deckplan. The old deckplan had the wrong landing gear, had many errors in the third dimension, and very poor usage of space the new deckplan, solved these problems and created a lot more cargo space. I did this by raising the deck 2 feet and tucking all the repulsorlift and landing gear equipment under the floor. — Frank V Bonura
Here we have the INCOM A-24 Sleuth deckplan circa 1997. It was drawn in a strange 7 pixels to the foot scale. I discovered this ship was too small in scale to achieve the level of detail I wanted. The Revised Redscale A-24 Sleuth is almost double the size of this early model. — Frank V Bonura
Here is a deckplan of a INCOM A-24 Sleuth I drew for my friend Chuck Rothberg back in 1997. The Ship's captain was his character Loric Kon. The Scout boasts many modifications. — Frank V Bonura
This is what the Nella 342 deckplan originally looked like circa 1997. It was drawn before I met Mike Marincic and clearly shows my older style. The production Nella 342 has radical improvements in both the interior and exterior as compared to this early WIP. — Frank V Bonura
