This web-based tool is probably the most helpful tool ever created for this game. This map should be used by the Imperial player on a laptop or tablet during the game to help keep track of Imperial loyal or subjugated planets (red), probe cards (yellow), or previously explored planets (teal). It gives the Imperial player a great bird's eye view of the game board without tipping off the Rebel player about movement strategies. It offers an incredible visual medium to assist in locating the hidden rebel base. The link to the map is provided below:

Star Wars Rebellion is a board game that depicts the epic struggle between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance, a game that averages around 3-4 hours to play. Although there are many fun parts of the game, as it progresses, there are some parts that become tedious, boring, and sometimes frustrating. For example, keeping track of probe cards and explored systems becomes tough, especially when the Rebels keep moving their hidden base. Also, keeping track of building units in the late game becomes especially cumbersome for the Empire. In addition, battles become harder to manage as there are so many units involved. The following tools have drastically reduced the amount of time associated with the game, and I've noticed that I've saved upwards of 45 minutes per game. I highly recommend using these tools for a more enjoyable experience playing Star Wars Rebellion!

The Build Generator helps keep track of what units to build during the refresh phase. It calculates the types of units needed to be placed in each build queue based on inputting the planets loyal to the Rebellion or loyal or subjugated to the Empire. Knowledge of colored shapes not necessary! The program saves time and simplifies your build step! The link to the web application is provided below:

The Battle Mat helps keep track of both space and ground battles during Star Wars Rebellion, and effectively eliminates the use of damage markers. It's meant to be printed out on an 8.5" x 11" medium. Give it a shot for more organized combat - especially helpful during epic battles in the late game!
