Character Types

Each character type described here forms the basis of the different factions in the game.

Alien
Aliens represent the many different species in the galaxy. Although many are not directly aligned with any one side in numerous conflicts in history, they have a deep effect on galactic events.


 * Gameplay: Aliens do not have a single unifying theme. They are made up of numerous different species and keywords that can easily be "splashed" into any deck.

Droid
Droids are the ubiquitous automatons seen throughout the Star Wars universe filling a variety of jobs.


 * Gameplay: Droids tend to stay in the background as helpers, providing protections, bonuses, enhancements, and other universal abilities.

Imperial
Imperials are the current rulers of the galaxy, and they rule with an iron fist. They have a seemingly unlimited supply of stormtroopers and ships, and are willing to sacrifice anything to maintain their control.
 * Gameplay: Imperials are known for a combination of large nearly indestructible war machines and numerous, swarming cannon-fodder. They are powerful and overwhelming, but not very adaptable.

Jedi
The Jedi are the peacemakers and philosophers of the galaxy. They seek a balance in the Force, but they are not to be underestimated in battle.
 * Gameplay: Jedi have high Ability, high Forfeit, and medium-high Power and Deploy. They tend to use Force for subtle, yet still powerful effects as opposed to their opposites, the Sith.

Rebel
The rebels are a group of loosely organized terrorists and insurgents fighting to bring freedom back to the galaxy. Over the course of the game, we'll see them grow into a more organized and traditional fighting force.
 * Gameplay: Rebels tend to be medium sized units that are quick and can adapt to any situation easily. While they rarely have overwhelming force, they instead rely on direct damage, tricks, and traps to wear down the opponent

Sith
The Sith are the ultimate warriors in the universe. They use the full power of the force to bend the galaxy to their will.
 * Gameplay: Sith are high-attribute and pack a severe punch in battles. They will sacrifice any resource and take huge risks for a huge short-term gain.
