The Fantastic Technology Contest was a contest held by West End Games and the Role Playing Game Association that allowed players of Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game to submit various examples of technology; winning entries were included among the items released in Galladinium's Fantastic Technology.^[1]

The winners were announced in the RPGA's Polyhedron 105, the March 1995 issue of its official magazine. Out of about seventy-five submissions, nearly half were included in the book, with first place going to Michael Zebrowski for his Repulsor Grappling Gun. Three submissions from contestant Sean P. Wolfe were listed in the top twenty-five but not included in the book because West End Games did not receive the proper paperwork to publish them.^[2]
