Star Wars: Dark Side Rising

Players cooperate as leaders of Rebel cells to recruit allies, manage resources and stop the construction of the Empire’s ultimate weapon. Each player controls a base of operations and a cell role (Intelligence, Leadership, Support or Tactical), deploys character assets and moves across locations to complete missions while Imperial forces advance. Dice and card play resolve encounters and Imperial orders; a central Imperial presence issues threats that escalate the Death Star’s construction and deploy agents against the Rebels. The group wins by defeating enough Imperial operatives and disrupting construction before the Death Star becomes operational or too many Rebel assets are lost.
