Cracken's Threat Dossier is a supplemental resource for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, brought to you by West End Games. The writing team included Drew Campbell, Matt Hong, Timothy S. O'Brien, Jen Seiden, and Eric S. Trautmann. Its initial publication was in 1997.
The book provides summaries and detailed information regarding the events, characters, scenarios, and backstories found within seven novels: The Courtship of Princess Leia, Before the Storm, Shield of Lies, Tyrant's Test, Ambush at Corellia, Assault at Selonia, and Showdown at Centerpoint. The narrative is presented from an in-universe perspective, specifically as a New Republic Intelligence report compiled for General Airen Cracken.
A number of the images, along with some of the starship statistics presented in this book, diverge from the descriptions provided in the novels themselves. Certain plot elements also differ from the events as they are depicted in the novels (for instance, the marriage of Han and Leia by Augwynne Djo on Dathomir).
