Alien Encounters, edited by Jen Seiden and compiled by Paul Sudlow, is a supplement to Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game published by West End Games in 1998. It is a compilation of 135 species presented in other West End Games supplements. Only a handful of the species described appeared onscreen in the original trilogy—the rest were either invented by West End Games writers for the game or were adapted from the game's adaptations of Expanded Universe fiction. Unlike its predecessors, Galaxy Guide 4: Alien Races and Galaxy Guide 12: Aliens — Enemies and Allies, no species appeared which had not already been described in previous West End Games supplements.
