Galaxy Guide 2: Yavin and Bespin is a supplement published by West End Games in 1989 for the science fiction role-playing game Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game , which itself is based on Star Wars .
From 1989 to 1995, West End Games published twelve "Galaxy Guide" supplements. [1] Galaxy Guide 2: Yavin and Bespin is the second of these, and describes two planets: the Rebellion-held ruins on the forest planet Yavin, and the Cloud City and mines of the planet Bespin. [2] Unlike its predecessor, Galaxy Guide 1: A New Hope , this guide does not present the details of characters found in the film. Instead, it gives details of the two planetary systems, important sites, and the native life forms. [3]
Galaxy Guide 2: Yavin and Bespin was written by Jonatha Caspian, Christopher Kubasik, Bill Slavicsek, and C.J. Tramontana, and published by West End Games in 1989 as an 80-page book. [2] In 1995, with the publication of the second edition of Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, West End Games released second editions of all the Galaxy Guides, including Galaxy Guide 2. [4]

In the June 1990 edition of Dragon (Issue #230), Rick Swan reviewed the second edition of Galaxy Guide 2 and gave it a high recommendation, saying, "Packed with blueprints, anecdotes, and campaign ideas, the book's a banquet for gamemasters and players alike. [6]
