<Li> September 2016: Star Wars: The Force Awakens Beginner Game </Li> <Li> July 2017: Dawn of Rebellion, the first sourcebook designed for Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion, and Force and Destiny, is announced . </Li> <P> All three installments of the Star Wars Roleplaying Game are set within the time period of the Star Wars original trilogy . Star Wars: Edge of the Empire is set shortly after the destruction of the first Death Star, and deals with characters on the fringes of galactic space . Age of Rebellion is set around the time of The Empire Strikes Back, and allows players to join the Rebellion . Like Edge of the Empire, Force and Destiny is set shortly after the destruction of the first Death Star and the death of Obi - Wan Kenobi, when the force sensitive and Jedi slowly start to re-emerge in hopes of rebuilding the Order of the Jedi . </P> <P> Characters are created by first specifying their species, then their initial profession (a general Career with a narrow Specialization). Players can spend experience points increasing Skills or gaining Talents (special Career - based abilities) gained from their profession . As in some other career - based RPGs your current career and specialization indicates what you do and what skills you can learn easily . Characters can buy other Specializations after character creation and can use the Skills and Talents they grant without closing the character's original Career Specialization . Having a Specialization from the same or a similar career narrows the character's selection of available Career Skills and Talents, while taking a Specialization from a different career widens the field of Career Skills and Talents and rounds the character out more . </P>
