The player assumed the role of an officer of either the Rebellion or the Empire. The sectors on the game map did not correspond to the canon information otherwise available, so it was assumed that the location of various systems was arbitrary for gameplay. Some of them belonged to 'unknown' regions, and needed to be explored. The map comprised sectors of 10 systems (the number of sectors was customizable for either 10, 15 or 20), all known from the Star Wars universe.
The game interface consisted of a map of the galaxy and an advisor droid (which in the case of the Rebellion, was C-3PO and in the case of the Empire, IMP-22). Although a real-time strategy game in the wider sense of the term, it belonged to the 4X genre (a sub-genre of games often containing galactic conquest like Master of Orion), though the action of Rebellion was more abstract.
