Outcome

EffectCaptures a specific enemy character

The Abduction mission is a mission in Star Wars: Rebellion that captures one chosen enemy character.

Targets and participants

The target is an enemy character on an enemy fleet or system. The character cannot be in hyperspace or already captured. The combat ratings of the team's characters and special forces determine how it goes.

Victory conditions

The mission is one route to the win. For the Empire the required captives are Mon Mothma and Luke Skywalker; for the Alliance they are Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. The manual adds that these characters must be held, not just captured.

Other ways to be captured

Characters are also captured when a mission is foiled, when their system is taken over, or when they try to leave a blockaded system. A prisoner can be moved if one character or special force acts as jailer. On changing bases, the manual cautions that the Empire is likely to go after Luke and Mon Mothma, so a new base for them should be well defended.
