Announcing Seven Specialization Decks for STAR WARS (R): Age of Rebellion (TM)

Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce that seven new Specialization Decks for Star Wars®: Age of Rebellion™ are now available at your local retailer and online through our webstore!

These decks represent each of the Ace and Commander specializations from the Age of Rebellion Core Rulebook, as well as the universal Recruit specialization: Ace Driver, Ace Gunner, Ace Pilot, Commander Commodore, Commander Squadron Leader, Commander Tactician, and Recruit.

Whether you start as a recruit or join the Rebellion as an Ace pilot defecting from the Imperial Navy, the cards from these specialization decks will help you climb effortlessly through the ranks of the Rebel Alliance and make your mark in the Galactic Civil War!

Don’t Forget the Details

Age of Rebellion Specialization Decks grant quick and convenient access to each character’s talents and abilities, helping you to stay focused and make quick decisions during gameplay. GMs, new players, and experienced players alike will appreciate these handy reference cards.

No matter what your background, your character’s talents are vital as you and your crew deal with whatever surprises come your way. A single talent can make the difference between success and failure, freedom and captivity, and even life and death. Don’t risk letting a talent slip your mind during game play! Each of the twenty cards in these Specialization Decks clearly presents the rules for one of your character’s talents, along with artwork that serves to both color your gaming experience and enhance your memory.

With Specialization Decks to keep your talents in front of your eyes and at the forefront of your mind, you’ll be able to more easily remember all your character’s important details and important advantages.

The first seven Specialization Decks present all the talents for the Ace and Commander careers, as well as those for the Rebel Alliance’s universal Recruit specialization:

Recruit

• Any level of involvement in the Empire versus Alliance conflict can get a person embroiled in conflict very quickly. Regardless of your role in the group, knowing how to throw a punch, shoot a blaster, or drive a vehicle can be crucial in the field. It may even mean the difference between life and death. With the Recruit Specialization Deck you can improve your odds and help get your team out of sticky situations.

Ace Driver

• On or above the ground, Drivers become part of the machines they drive. Talented and imaginative enough to attempt maneuvers no design engineer ever intended, the best Drivers appear to move effortlessly through even the most difficult terrain. Keep your cards at hand and your eyes on the road. The Driver Specialization Deck will help keep you steady at the wheel.

Ace Gunner

• For Gunners, the output of a vehicle or ship weapon is the ultimate expression of projected power. They see mastery of such weapons as a way for a single person to show the Empire what it means to fight for freedom. With the Gunner Specialization Deck, you’ll be sure to sharpen your aim and cripple your foes.

Ace Pilot

• Pilots are most in their element when the sounds of their screaming engines reververate throughout their cockpits. Out among the stars, these Aces perform high-speed maneuvers that would send lesser pilots into seizures or unconsciousness. With the Pilot Specialization Deck, you will more easily evade your enemies and race full throttle through the galaxy!

Commander Commodore

• The lives that they’ve chosen place the Rebellion’s Commodores firmly among the stars, with hard ship decks under their feet. Each and every one of them has demonstrated great gifts for strategic thinking and resource management on a large scale. The best Commodores know how to make the most of their resources, and the talents in the Commodore Specialization Deck will allow you to stay calm in tough situations and bolster entire fleets with your commanding presence.

Commander Squadron Leader

• In the Galactic Civil War, Rebel snubfighters and other small vehicles go hammer-and-tongs against the massive Imperial war machine. The technological disparity can be daunting, but the confidence and skill of the Rebellion’s Squadron Leaders inspire pilots to follow them into the worst kinds of hell and back again. Their tactical genius and daring keep their pilots alive. Form ranks and command the field with the Squadron Leader Specialization Deck.

Commander Tactician

• Tacticians are responsible for establishing the ground conditions that will lead to victory in battle. Under their courageous and savvy leadership, just a few Rebel troops with blasters and bombs can disable an Imperial installation or disrupt an entire defensive grid. Lay the foundations for your victories with the Tactician Specialization Deck, and lead your troops out of danger and into glory!

Explore All the Galaxy Has to Offer

Age of Rebellion Specialization Decks don’t replace the talent trees found in the Core Rulebook, but they are excellent tools to help you spend less time reviewing rules and more time battling the evil Galactic Empire! Each card in a Specialization Deck includes a description of a single talent, along with the icons for dice needed to make any relevant checks. Additionally, each Specialization Deck comes with a reference card (shown at right), which details how to use its twenty included talent cards.

You never know where your duties might take you next, but you know there’s always another battle and another chance to strike a blow against the evil Galactic Empire. Do your part to remain ready for action at a moment’s notice.
