A Buyer's Guide to Alternative Starships is a roleplaying game source article from Star Wars Adventure Journal 5, written from the point of view of an unnamed Rebel who needed a ship and was talking to a protocol droid known as C-D20 and his counterpart, R2-RD. The story introduced several models of starships. It also included brief sidebars involving the Z-10 and Helix, and a fake ad for the ZH-25.
