STAR WARS RULES

This rules supplement is designed to be used specifically with
GreyOwl’s Star Wars Heroscape customs. Therefore, the
information in here may or may not apply to other Star Wars
customs. In some cases, it may even conflict with other customs.
While a great effort has been made to maintain compatibility with
the community Custom Star Wars Rules & Characters project,
there are some differences. These will be pointed out later in the
rules.

name, the power represented by the symbol is exactly the same,
however.

DROIDS C.I.S.
When playing GreyOwl’s Star Wars customs, the species of
Soulborg, Android, Cyborg, and Droid are all considered to be the
same species when reading special powers that reference any one
of them.

FACTIONS
In Classic Heroscape, there are 6 factions, whereas in Marvel
Heroscape, there are no factions. In GreyOwl’s Star Wars customs,
there are 10 different factions. Note that these factions are not all
the same as the ones used in the Star Wars Rules & Characters
project.
Each faction has its own color scheme, much like in classic
Heroscape. The list of factions and a sample card demonstrating
the color scheme follows. FEL EMPIRE

JEDI AND SITH RANKINGS

Although it doesn’t directly affect game play, it may be useful to
understand the ranking system used for most Jedi and Sith
figures. These “rankings” are in the form of the figure’s Class.
The Jedi rankings, from lowest to highest, are:
 Youngling
 Padawan
 Jedi Knight
 Master
The Sith rankings, from lowest to highest, are:
 Neophyte
 Acolyte
 Apprentice
 Master
