    So in building an adventure for the FFG RPG, characters are going to be on a university campus, and so I decided to come up with some Lecture Topics going on that would be extremely boring to the particular PCs I'm working with.
    • The Diplomatic Use of Fruit Throughout The Millennia.
    • Quarren Perspectives on Subversive Mon Cal Water Opera: A Deep Dive.
    • Nothing New Under The Suns: Origins of the Known Galactic Culture and the Influence of the Rakatan Mythos and Ideals on Progressive Creativity (Or The Lack Thereof).
    I thought it would be fun to crowdsource here, and think of some fun lecture titles you could see actually happening in Empire-territory University Campuses!

    I love IU academia! Cool topic!

    Personally I wouldn't find any of these subjects boring lol. what's that history book in every Imperial library with the hidden gun in it that's considered to be so boring no one would ever actually read it?

    "The Future of AI: Holomatrix Schemas and the Antilles Paradigm" by C9-series Lecture Droid C9-A1

    "Pre-Imperial Philosophy and the Science of Sentient Nature" by Professor Roawarrarump

    Overshadowed by History: The Definitive Biography of Supreme Chancellor Randolph Quaserbit. This dense 1500 page tome details the life and contemporary galactic politics of the GFFA equivalent of Calvin Coolidge.

    - Core Worlds Classical Culture (a course rather than a lecture topic, but it's canon!)

    - Atrisian Court Customs and the Enduring Influence on the Galactic Empire

    - Evolution of Fashion Trends throughout the Middle Republican Period

    -- A History of the Republic as Told In the Architectural Evolution of Coruscant

    These are all things that interest me so I assume most ppl find them boring.
