The Sabotage mission is a mission in Star Wars: Rebellion that destroys a facility, capital ship or other unit.

Targets and participants

The encyclopedia says one unit is targeted in an enemy or neutral system. The manual lists enemy facilities, capital ships, fighter squadrons, trooper regiments and SpecForces; the target must be finished and out of hyperspace. Anything a manufacturing facility can produce qualifies. The Empire can also sabotage the Alliance headquarters. A Death Star cannot be targeted this way and requires a Death Star Sabotage mission. Bothan Spies cannot perform it and so cannot serve as decoys on it.

Skill and result

Both the espionage and combat ratings of the characters count, along with the special forces on the team. The manual suggests that a heavily defended system may call for preliminary Espionage or Sabotage missions to remove its planetary defenses before an attack. Sabotage can also injure characters who are aboard a ship that is destroyed.
