"We need someone who understands the binary language of Verossian computers, huh? Say, I think I know who might be able to help!"
―An individual, to their companions[1]

The Verossian computer was a type of computer[1] that originated in[3] the Verossia system of the Mid Rim's Strabin sector.[2] Verossian computers utilized the binary language,[1] which was also spoken by droids.[4]

This section of the article assumes completion of a roleplaying game adventure seed or suggestion.

At one point during the Galactic Civil War, a group of individuals was in need of understanding the binary of Verossian computers. One of the group's members then realized a contact of theirs could help with their problem.[1]

Assumption ends here.

Behind the scenes

The Verossian computer was mentioned in the 1995 sourcebook Heroes & Rogues, authored by Rick Stuart and Paul Sudlow and published for use with West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. The book mentions the type of computer in an example line of dialogue illustrating the role professional contacts may play in developing the backstory of the player characters. This article assumes the situation plays out as described.[1]
