{{Claude-authored|source=Star Wars: Rebellion manual, PDF pp. 99, 102, 104, 106, 108; in-game encyclopedia entries 7200, 7201 and 7202 (ENCYTEXT.DLL, v1.02)}}
'''Research and development''' (R&D) is the process in ''[[Star Wars: Rebellion]]'' by which a side unlocks improved facilities, ships and troops. It has three fields: ship design, troop training and facility design.<ref name="manual-p99" />

== How it progresses ==
Each facility that a side controls contributes slightly to its own field, so progress happens in the background without any player action. Sending a character on an R&D mission makes results come much faster. When a mission produces a new technology, the message droid reports it and the new facility, troop or ship can be used right away.<ref name="manual-p102" />

The manual describes the payoffs as faster-built facilities (it gives better construction yards as an example), stronger fleets from improved ship design, and new troop types with better skills.<ref name="manual-p102" />

== R&D missions ==
Each area has its own mission and its own required location:
* [[Ship Design Research mission]]: a friendly system with a shipyard.<ref name="manual-p106" /><ref name="ency-7200" />
* [[Troop Training Research mission]]: a friendly system with a troop training facility.<ref name="manual-p106" /><ref name="ency-7202" />
* [[Facility Design Research mission]]: a friendly system with a construction yard.<ref name="manual-p104" /><ref name="ency-7201" />

The character must be able to research the relevant area. The Status window shows whether the character has the Ship Design, Troop Training or Facility Design ability.<ref name="manual-p99" /><ref name="manual-p106" /> The in-game encyclopedia says each mission's success depends on the character's attributes.<ref name="ency-7200" /><ref name="ency-7201" /><ref name="ency-7202" /> See [[Character skills]].

== Continuing a mission ==
After an R&D mission, the character asks whether the player wants it to continue. Characters persist until nothing more can be discovered. If the player does not answer a message in time, the character carries on automatically until the mission cannot continue.<ref name="manual-p108" />
