EffectDestroys the targeted Death Star

The Death Star Sabotage mission is an Alliance-only mission in Star Wars: Rebellion that destroys a Death Star.

Targets and participants

Only the Alliance may perform it. The target Death Star's location must be known, and it cannot be in hyperspace. The combat and espionage ratings of the characters and special forces count. A success ends with the Death Star destroyed.

Role in the game

The manual says the Alliance cannot shield a system from an attacking Death Star, but may try this mission to destroy the weapon. A tactical-battle alternative is the fighter "Death Star run." Where the Empire has put Death Star shields on the system, only this mission lets the Alliance destroy the weapon. The ordinary Sabotage mission cannot target a Death Star.
