'''SWRebellion''' (also '''SWR''', '''SWRebellion.com''' and '''SWRebellion.net''') is a fan community dedicated to ''[[Star Wars: Rebellion]]'' and its editor, [[RebEd]].<ref name="about">swrebellion.net, "About SWR – What is this site?", https://swrebellion.net/aboutswr/ (accessed 22 October 2026).</ref> It has existed in one form or another since 1999, and by its own description it has been the main site for the game for most of that time.<ref name="net2012">swrebellion.net front page, "Star Wars Rebellion Network", archived 30 June 2012 (Wayback Machine).</ref>

== History ==
=== starwarsrebellion.com (1998–1999) ===
A December 1999 news post says StarWarsRebellion.com started in January 1998 and names Bigguy219 ("Admiral Rodney") as its founder.<ref name="news1999">Star Wars Rebellion news center, news page with posts dated 15–16 December 1999 (Wayback Machine capture of starwarsrebellion.com).</ref> In early 1999 the site went about a month without updates because only the founder could reach its server; when it returned in April 1999, DHanlon reported that several exclusive files, including the Warlords [[total conversion]] and a unit library, had been lost.<ref name="swr1999">starwarsrebellion.com, "The Rebellion Begins Now", archived 3 May 1999 (Wayback Machine).</ref> That spring the staff list included DHanlon, Danny Poo, General Solo and Jedi Mess, with contributors such as Eville Jedi and Sesswanna.<ref name="swr1999" />

By late 1999 the site ran as "The Rebellion News Center", hosting the RebED Card Guild and a forum, and Evaders99 reported an average of 178 visits a day.<ref name="news1999" />

=== swrebellion.net (2000–2001) ===
The community moved to the swrebellion.net domain. A June 2001 staff page lists:<ref name="staff">swrebellion.net, "Contact Staff", archived 3 June 2001 (Wayback Machine).</ref>
* '''EW''' – webmaster, card and TC maker
* '''Skippy''' – webmaster and domain owner
* '''Condar''' – webmaster and Rebellion Editor programmer
* '''Evaders99''' – webmaster
* '''Eville Jedi''' – webmaster, graphics and 3D models
* '''Zeblork''' – webmaster and card compiler
* '''Webspider''' – webmaster, RebED Card Guild
* '''Talon "NemesiS" Karrde''' – webmaster, Nar Shaddaa site

The site offered news, files, chat, a RebED forum, cards, TCs, an FAQ and hosting for related fan sites.<ref name="faq2001">swrebellion.net, FAQ page, archived 16 June 2001 (Wayback Machine).</ref> In September 2001 news was posted by Stratus and Evaders99, and the site reported more than 200 visitors a day.<ref name="site3">Star Wars Rebellion.net news center, archived 24 September 2001 (Wayback Machine).</ref>

=== SWRebellion Network (2005–2014) ===
The '''Star Wars Rebellion Network''' was founded in 2005 as part of the main site. In 2012 it reported over 5,000 members and about five million hits a month, and said its database had tracked more than ten million page visits since August 2002.<ref name="net2012" /> The network included:<ref name="net2012" />
* '''Star Wars Community – In Character (SWCIC)''', a role-playing community, independent since November 2005;
* '''Star Wars: Warlords''', a mod for ''Homeworld 2'';
* '''Imperial Assault''', total conversions for ''Command & Conquer: Generals – Zero Hour'' and ''Empire at War'';
* the '''GUTR''' project (''Thrawn's Revenge'' for ''Empire at War'' and ''Galactic Uprising'' for ''Command & Conquer 3'');
* the Gamers Revolution Forum (formerly Petroglyph Fan Forums) and Evaders Squadron Coding.
The network also offered free hosting for Star Wars sites, a chatroom, a gallery and a Folding@home team.<ref name="net2012" />

=== Since 2014 ===
In October 2014 the site went read-only after a server transfer, and the administrators announced the Star Wars Gamers Association; forum posting was restored in April 2015.<ref name="s2018">swrebellion.com front page, archived 24 February 2018 (Wayback Machine).</ref> In September 2018 the community opened an official Discord server, which had more than 700 active users by April 2020.<ref name="index">swrebellion.net front page news, saved 19 November 2021.</ref> In March 2021 the site announced "The Next Chapter": because its early-2000s software had suffered attacks and database problems, it would move to Invision Community, funded by a community fundraiser.<ref name="index" />

Today swrebellion.net hosts the forums, downloads such as the [[Rebellion Fix]] and RebEd, and news such as the [[Rebellion 2]] alpha.<ref name="about" />
