Second, the company wasn't about putting out flashy D&D style guides that stressed visual presentation over content. Instead, they covered each topic they chose as in depth as possible. Each guide and sourcebook they produced was full of a wealth of knowledge on the covered subject, and they put out many books over their run. Third, they supported their player base, constantly updating their game, adding new content, places, characters and items, through the various guides, books, magazines, and newsletters they published.

	~~Today, many~~ Star Wars gamers still love the D6 system and use it. The books are eagerly bought on Ebay and home brewed material is still very prevalent online. Although there is a newer Star Wars RPG produced by [http://www.wizards.com/ Wizards of the Coast], it failed to capture the player base that the original did. Their system was based around the 20 sided die, often being referred to as [[D20 Roleplaying]]. This line is currently not being produced anymore as well.

Their system was based around the 20 sided die, often being referred to as [[D20 Roleplaying]]. This line is currently not being produced anymore as well.

			Today, the [[Allegiance Battle Group]] utilizes a homebrew RPG system created and maintained by its Senior Game Masters. Originating from the WEG SWD6RPG, almost every aspect of the game has been modified or completely rewritten based on influences from the newer D20 systems, D&D, Whitewolf, RPG videogames, the Lucas Arts flight sims, the movies, and (more recently) 4x Strategy games. The goal of the SGMs is to provide a comprehensive rules system that allow both Game Masters and players to craft their stories in the Star Wars universe as freely as possible while maintaining a general sense of balance and fairness.

In 1998, despite a successful product, they went into bankruptcy as a result of poor financial management. The company lost its rights to Star Wars.
