Hero Turn
 All Heroes ready activation tokens and exhausted class and
item cards
 One Rebel player starts the game and activates 1 Hero, then
the Imperial player activates 1 deployment group, then 1
Rebel activates 1 Hero, then the Imperial player, etc. (Rebel
players can choose the order in which their Heroes take their
turns every round)
 Heroes may perform any 2 actions
o Move (equal to its speed)
 Heroes (not Imperial player) can suffer 1 strain for 1
movement point a maximum of 2 times (does not
require a move action)
o Attack
 Declare/attack 1 hostile figure (not a “space,” unless it’s
a large figure)
 May use 1 equipped weapon, or an unarmed attack with
bare hands (1 green and 1 yellow die, may still use
surge abilities)
 Up to 1 unused surge can be used by an attacking Hero
(not Imperial player) to recover 1 strain
 Each surge ability can only be triggered once per attack
 Melee attacks only attack adjacent figures
 Ranged attacks may target any space in line of sight
 If a figure or weapon doesn’t have the melee icon, it
is a ranged attack, even if adjacent to a target
 Each evade icon cancels 1 surge icon
 A dodge icon causes the entire attack to miss
 Attacker and defender roll dice at the same time
o Interact (open an adjacent door, open a crate to draw 1
supply card and keep the crate token on the Hero sheet,
or pick up or interact with an adjacent token referenced in
the mission’s rules)
 Players cannot examine the facedown side of crate
tokens, but the color of crate tokens have no game
effect unless specified by the mission
 Figure may not optionally drop carried tokens, but
defeated figures drop carried tokens
o Rest (recover strain equal to endurance, and any strain
recovered in excess of the number of strain tokens
converts to recovered damage)
o Special action
 Special actions (actions with an “action” icon) can
only be performed once per activation
 Special actions with 2 “action” icons take 2
actions to perform
  Abilities (text on a card without an o Cannot move through the diagonal intersection of two of

includes crates, terminals, and most tokens)  Large figures (figures that take up more than 1 space)
o Cannot move diagonally
 o Figures that only occupy 1 space are a “small” figure
o Cannot rotate its base unless it spends 1 movement point,
and when doing so it must occupy at least half of the
spaces it occupied before the rotation
o Only subject to movement requirements for terrain and
other figures once per movement point spent (for
example, a 2 space large figure must only spend 1
additional movement point like normal if moving through a
hostile figure)
 “Massive” figures
o Some large figures have the “massive” trait printed on
their deployment card
o Figures do not block line of sight to or from massive
figures
o Cannot enter interior spaces during a campaign
o Cannot enter spaces containing other massive figures
o Can enter spaces containing blocking and impassable
terrain, and can move through and end their movement on
blocked or impassable edges
o Can enter spaces containing hostile figures and/or difficult
terrain at no additional movement cost
o Can end its movement in spaces containing other figures,
but doing so ends its movement for the entire activation.
Such figures are pushed into the closest empty space of
its controller’s choice (taking impassable terrain into
account)
Line of sight and counting spaces
 Choose 1 corner of a figure’s space, and trace TWO straight,
uninterrupted lines from that corner to TWO different corners
of the target space (the lines may not overlap, such as when
a straight line is traced on top of another straight line)
 Line of sight can be traced through a figure if the figure is the
target
 When “counting spaces,” players count the number of
movement points it would take a figure to move from one
space to another (ignore figures, impassable terrain, and
difficult terrain when counting spaces, but walls, doors, and
blocking terrain do block counting spaces)
 Line of sight cannot be traced through walls (thick black
lines), blocked terrain (red lines), doors, or spaces
containing figures (including friendly figures), but can be
traced along the edge or corners of a wall or blocked (red)
terrain
 Line of sight cannot be traced through the diagonal
intersection of two spaces that block line of sight
 Line of sight can be traced through objects (which includes
crates, terminals, and most tokens, but may not trace line of
sight through doors)
 During an attack, if the attacker’s line of sight to the target
space changes, or if the defender moves, the attacker must  Difficult: Solid blue line. Figures must spend 1 additional

remaining, the attack misses and abilities that refer to a
target space have no effect.

 If a figure enters a space with a token, the terrain
underneath still takes effect
 Blocked: Solid red line. Figures cannot enter, be pushed
into, count spaces through, or trace line of sight through
blocked spaces. Sometimes blocking terrain is only on one
edge of a space, and figures cannot move through or be
pushed through this edge. Large figures cannot move onto,
be pushed through, or be placed on a blocking edge unless
they have a special ability that allows this (such as “massive”
or “mobile”). If a “massive” figure occupies a space
containing blocking terrain, line of sight can be traced to that
figure, spaces can be counted to that figure, and adjacent
figures can attack that figure. If a figure or object without the
“mobile” keyword finds itself somehow occupying a blocked
space, apply the rules for “mobile” to that figure or object.

it occupies.
line of sight, but does not block movement, adjacency, or
counting spaces. Line of sight can be traced to a figure or
object occupying a space containing an energy shield. Line
of sight cannot be traced through one of the 4 corners of an
energy shield token if that corner is touching a wall, blocking
terrain, or another energy shield.
 Impassable: Dotted red line. Line of sight can be traced
through impassable spaces, but figures cannot move
through impassable spaces. Two spaces separated by
impassable terrain are considered adjacent.
 Rubble: Brown token with a blue background. Considered to
be difficult terrain, in addition to the terrain type underneath
the token. Difficult terrain does not “stack,” but rubble can
stack with energy shield terrain.

Miscellaneous
 Activate
o Exhaust an activation token (for Heroes) or deployment
card (for non-Heroes)
 Adjacent
o A space is adjacent to each other space if it shares an
edge or corner with the space
o Spaces on either side of the diagonal intersection of walls
and/or blocking terrain are not adjacent (see back of Rules
Reference), and thus figures on each of those spaces
cannot melee attack each other
 Allies/Villains
o All figures corresponding to rebel deployment cards are
allies, and all figures corresponding to “unique” Imperial
deployment cards are villains (some allies in missions do
not have a deployment card, but are still considered allies
for all purposes)
o Allies/villains cannot rest or interact with crates during a
campaign mission, and can only attack once per activation
o If an ally has both a regular and elite deployment card,
only the regular card can be used as an ally, however if
the Heroes receive an ally as a reward and already have
that ally, they can use either the regular or elite
deployment card
o When defeated, allies/villains are removed from the map
and cannot be redeployed for the remainder of the mission
(they may be used in future missions)
 Attribute tests ( Strength, Insight, or Tech)
o Heroes roll the indicated dice as shown on their Hero
sheet
o If the result is at least 1 surge, they pass the test
o If an attribute test lists a number directly before the
attribute icon, the test requires multiple successes, and
each surge counts as a success. If the Hero fails the test,
they place 1 strain token near the space where the test is
taking place for each success they rolled. The next time
any figure attempts the test, they discard these strain
tokens and apply 1 success for each token discarded.
o Some attribute tests allow a Hero to choose which
attribute to test. If such an attribute test lists a number
directly before one of the multiple attribute icons listed,
then the Hero may achieve that number of successes from
any combination of those attribute tests.
o If a “regular” non-Hero figure is required to perform an
attribute test, it automatically fails the test
 o If an “elite” non-Hero figure is required to perform an
attribute test, it automatically receives 1 success
 Blast
o If the target of a figure’s attack suffers 1 or more damage,
each figure and object (including friendly figures) adjacent
to the target space suffers damage equal to the blast
value (blast does not affect the target figure)
o Block icons on dice do not block blast damage
o If the attack inflicts a condition, the condition is only
applied to the target, and not the figures affected by blast
o If the target is a large figure, blast only affects figures
adjacent to the targeted “space,” and does not affect the
target figure
o If multiple blast abilities are used during an attack, add
their values together
 Clawdite Shapeshifter (form cards)
o Form cards add their text box and abilities to a
deployment card
o In a campaign, only 1 copy of a form card can be in play at
the same time
o In a skirmish, only 1 copy of a form card can be in play in
each army
 Cleave
o If the target of a figure’s attack suffers 1 or more damage,
the attacker may also choose a different hostile figure or
object that they could normally target for an attack, and
that chosen figure or object suffers damage equal to the
cleave value
o If using a ranged attack, the cleave target must be within a
number of spaces equal to the accuracy initially rolled on
the dice
o Block icons on dice do not block cleave damage
o If the attack inflicts a condition, the condition is only
applied to the target, and not the figure affected by cleave
o If multiple cleave abilities are used during an attack, add
their values together
 Companions
o Companions do not block line of sight
o Companions do not cause hostile figures to spend an
extra movement point to move through a space containing
a companion
o Companions can end their movement in a space
containing another figure, and another figure can end its
movement in a space containing a companion
o Companions cannot “interact,” and cannot use abilities on
class, item, or supply cards
o Companions have a figure cost of zero
 o Companions automatically fail attribute tests
o Only 1 companion of each type can be in play at any time
o When a figure, Hero sheet, or deployment card that is
associated with a companion leaves play, the companion
remains in play but can no longer activate (unless a game
effect allows that companion to activate as part of a
different figure, Hero sheet, or deployment card)
 Conditions
o A figure cannot be affected by the same condition more
than once at any given time
o A target figure must suffer at least 1 damage during an
attack to suffer a condition
 Controlling hostile figures
o When an ability allows a player to control a hostile figure,
all non-neutral figures are considered hostile, and no
figures are considered friendly while attacking (figures
cannot attack themselves)
o When a player performs an attack with a controlled hostile
figure, that player may spend 1 of that figure’s power
tokens
o In a campaign, when Rebels control a hostile Imperial
figure, that figure is considered to be both Rebel and
Imperial by mission rules
o Using an ability that allows for controlling a hostile figure
does not count as an attack
 Controlling tokens and spaces
o To “control” a token or space, a friendly figure must be on
or adjacent to the token or space, and no hostile figures
may be on or adjacent to the token or space
o To “control” a tile or deployment zone, a friendly figure
must be on any space of the tile or deployment zone, and
no hostile figures may be on any space of the tile or
deployment zone
 Defeated/Wounded
o When a Hero is defeated for the first time during a
mission, discard all damage tokens, keep all strain tokens
(except for strain in excess of endurance) and flip the
Hero sheet to the wounded side
o If a wounded Hero is defeated, they “withdraw,” which
means they remove their figure from the map and are
eliminated from that mission only. The Hero is still
considered “wounded” when withdrawn.
o Ally figures and deployment cards active in the mission
may be given to a “withdrawn” player so they have a figure
to activate on their turn
 o Withdrawn Heroes still receive all rewards at the end of a
mission, and players still win a mission if their Hero is
withdrawn during or at the end of a mission
o In a campaign, when the last figure of an “initial,”
“reserve,” or “open” Imperial player’s deployment group is
defeated (not including “unique” deployment groups), the
deployment card is returned to the Imperial player’s hand,
and can be optionally deployed later in the mission
o When defeated, allies/villains are removed from the map
and cannot be redeployed for the remainder of the mission
(they may be used in future missions)
 Deplete
o When a card is depleted, the abilities on that card no
longer have any effect
 Dice/Rerolls
o Dice are only rolled if a picture of a die is present, or
instructed to do so (for example, if an object states it has  Heroes
block/defense of 1, and a block/defense icon is present, it
does not roll dice)
o Block/defense die results do not prevent damage suffered
“outside” of an attack
o Each die may only be rerolled once per attack regardless
of who is rerolling the die
 Elite/regular figures
o “Elite” figures have red deployment cards, and “regular”
figures have gray
o Heroes in a campaign are not considered elite or regular
 Figure cost
o If a deployment group has a starting group size of 1, that
figure’s figure cost is equal to the group’s deployment cost
o If a deployment group has a starting group size of 2 or
more, each figure in that group has a figure cost equal to
the group’s reinforcement cost
o If a figure has neither a deployment or a reinforcement
cost, its figure cost is zero
 Focus
o The figure receives 1 additional green die the next time it
attacks or performs a test, and the focus condition is then
discarded
o May not be saved for a later attack or test
o Loku Kanoloa
 May move a recon token already in play from a space
or figure to another space or figure
o Saska Teft
 A figure can individually claim any number of device
tokens
o Verena Talos
  When using “close quarters,” Hero does not gain
access to surge abilities or the figure’s abilities
 When using “close quarters” on a figure without a
specific dice pool, such as a figure with “arsenal” or
“epic arsenal,” the dice pool used is determined by the
player who controls the figure
 Hutt Mercenaries class
o Each Hero will claim 1 bounty token at the start of a
campaign
o Heroes do not discard bounty tokens at the end of a
mission
 Incapacitated
o The figure remains on the map, and does not restrict line
of sight or movement through the figure
o Figure discards all conditions, and conditions may not be
applied to them. Cannot be attacked or suffer damage
o Can still be pushed by “massive” figures ending its
movement in the figure’s space
 Interrupt
o The current activation of a figure pauses, the interrupting
ability is resolved, and the activation of the figure resumes
o Figures can interrupt their own activation
o If 2 effects interrupt the same action, the player currently
activating a figure chooses the order in which they resolve
 Massive
o See movement section
 Miss
o If an attack misses, abilities that don’t require a figure to
be damaged may still be resolved (such as the ability
“recover”)
 Mobile
o Figures with “mobile” can enter and end their movement
on impassable and blocking terrain
o Does not cost 1 additional movement point when moving
through hostile figures or difficult terrain
o If ending movement on blocking terrain, line of sight can
be traced to that figure, spaces can be counted to that
figure, and adjacent figures can attack that figure
 Modifications
o Each weapon can only receive a number of modifications
equal to the number of colored bars in the bottom right
corner of the item card. If there are no bars, modifications
cannot be attached to it.
o If placed on a weapon, the weapon type must match the
modification’s type (melee or ranged)
 o A weapon cannot have more than 1 modification of the o If a figure or weapon doesn’t have the melee icon, it is
same trait (for example, only 1 “barrel” modification)
a ranged attack, even if adjacent to a target
o Cannot remove a modification during a mission
 Reach
 Pierce o Allows a figure to perform a melee attack up to 2 spaces
o Allows a figure to ignore a number of block results on dice
away, but still requires line of sight
equal to the pierce value
 Rebel figure
o If multiple pierce abilities are used during an attack, add
o Term includes Heroes and Rebel allies
their values together
 Replacing tiles
 Power Tokens
o If the Imperial player is instructed to replace a tile on the
o When instructed to, players place a power token with the
map, any figures or tokens occupying spaces on the
image referenced in the instructions (or on a card) next to
removed tile should be placed in the corresponding

 Reveal
1 of its power tokens to apply +1 of the power token
o If instructed to reveal a card, show the card to all players,

then return the card its previous location
o Maximum 2 power tokens may be held at any one time (if

 Ranged attacks
 o If no figure is currently being activated, the Imperial player
decides (during a campaign, or the player with initiative
decides (during a skirmish)
 Strain
o Endurance equals total strain available
o Heroes may only suffer strain up to their remaining
endurance, however if a game effect causes them to
suffer more than their available strain, they suffer 1
damage for each strain
o When Heroes recover strain in excess of the number of
strain tokens they have, that excess recovered strain
converts to recovered damage
 Stun
o Figure cannot declare an attack, but can resolve an
already declared attack if it becomes stunned during the
attack
 Tile types
