Galaxy size is a setting chosen when a game of Star Wars: Rebellion is started. It sets how many sectors the galaxy contains, and each sector holds 10 systems.

Sizes

The three sizes are standard, large and huge.

Size	Sectors	Systems
Standard	10	100
Large	15	150
Huge	20	200

These figures come from the multiplayer setup description. The single-player description gives the same totals, listing the sizes as 10 sectors with 100 systems, 15 with 150 and 20 with 200. The sector counts are repeated in the System Finder description, and the tutorial calls the smallest game 10 sectors and the largest 20.

Choosing the size

In single-player games the size is set in the Shuttle Cockpit, by clicking the galaxy wanted or pulling the lever on the left. Standard is the default. In head-to-head games the host picks the size on the Multiplayer Options screen.

Effects

• A larger galaxy increases the resources a side has at the start in proportion to its size.
• Each side receives randomly chosen extra characters at the start: one in a standard galaxy, two in a large one and four in a huge one. An earlier passage gives the same counts of one, two and four but labels the sizes small, medium and large.
