"Right now I feel I can take on the whole Empire myself."

―Dak Ralter

Star Wars: Age of Rebellion is the second roleplaying game in the Star Wars Roleplaying series, a series of cross-compatible roleplaying games published by Fantasy Flight Games under their license to create Star Wars-themed games, and a sequel to Edge of the Empire. A beta test of Age of Rebellion was released in September of 2013. At GenCon in August 2012, it was announced that Sterling Hershey was one of the designers of the game. Hershey revealed on his blog at that time the plans Fantasy Flight had for the franchise, announcing Age of Rebellion for 2014 release, and Force and Destiny in 2015. The Beginner Game for Age of Rebellion was released in May of 2014 and the core rulebook was released on July 1, 2014.
