The '''Galactic Information Display''' (GID) is the map of the galaxy that fills the main screen of the [[Command Center]] in ''[[Star Wars: Rebellion]]''. It is the primary source of information about the galaxy.<ref name="manual-p66" />

== Stars and colors ==
Each system appears as a star, and the galaxy is divided into sectors of ten systems each.<ref name="manual-p66" /> The star's color shows who controls the system: red for the Alliance, green for the Empire, blue for neutral, and gray for unexplored. The manual explains that a gray star means the player has no information, so the system might be neutral, empty of population, or already settled by the enemy.<ref name="manual-p68" /> A system can support one side while being controlled by the other, for example a large green star showing an Empire-controlled system that supports the Alliance.<ref name="manual-p23" />

The star's size shows how much of the chosen item is present on that system. In the construction-yard display, for instance, the smallest star means no construction yards and larger stars mean more of them. A legend, opened by double-clicking its icon, explains the sizes.<ref name="manual-p68" />

== Choosing a display ==
Clicking the Galactic Information Display control opens a menu of displays, with a checkmark on the current one. The default display is [[Popular support]].<ref name="manual-p69" /><ref name="manual-p22" /> The manual lists these groups:<ref name="manual-p69" /><ref name="manual-p70" />
* '''Loyalty''': popular support, and the locations of systems in [[Uprisings|uprising]].
* '''Fleets''': idle fleets and fleets en route. Star size reflects the number of fleets at, or heading for, a system.
* '''Personnel''': idle personnel (not in a command post or on a mission) and active personnel (on a mission or in command).
* '''Resources''': energy availability, raw material availability (remaining mine sites), mines and refineries.
* '''Manufacturing''': shipyards, training facilities and construction yards, each with an idle-only variant.
* '''Defense''': planetary batteries, planetary shield generators, fighter squadrons, troops and Death Star shields.

For the Alliance, the Death Star shield display is only as accurate as the last information received; a shield not discovered by informants or [[Espionage mission|espionage]] does not appear.<ref name="manual-p70" />

== Sector windows ==
Clicking a sector opens a Sector window, which shows each system in that sector color-coded by controlling side, with an overview of its resources and popular support and icons that open further windows.<ref name="manual-p67" /> The manual states that at the start of a game this window is reliable only for the resources, popular support and production facilities of core systems; defenses, troops, personnel and ships are likely inaccurate or incomplete. Control and popular support in core systems stay current.<ref name="manual-p67" /> A player may have only two Sector windows open at once, and they cannot be moved or minimized.<ref name="manual-p61" /> The Sector window also shows available raw materials, mines and energy spaces.<ref name="manual-p85" />

== Display off ==
The Display Off option removes the legend display of individual systems and shows a mass of galactic matter instead. Choosing any other display turns it back on.<ref name="manual-p71" />
