3Aaron Dale Allston (December 8, 1960 – February 27, 2014) was an American science fiction and fantasy writer. He wrote several novels of the Franchise/StarWarsLegends, including a third of ''Literature/LegacyOfTheForce'', a third of ''Literature/FateOfTheJedi'', and about half of the novels in the Literature/XWingSeries, as well as tie-ins for ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' and several roleplaying game settings. Allston also helped write the manual for the original ''VideoGame/WingCommander'', "Claw Marks," as well as the TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons ''Rules Cyclopedia'', which combined the rules of the first four Frank Mentzer BECMI boxed sets for Basic D&D into a single volume. He's also known for extensive work on the ''TabletopGame/{{Champions}}'' role-playing game, including the award-winning supplement "Strike Force," which earned him the allegedly-unwanted epithet "Champions Guru."
