Challenges

The Star Wars Factions RPG has several different game modes referred to as Challenges. The main challenge of the game is the ubiquitous Factions Achievements, which remains as an underlying measurement of success throughout all other challenges. Warmongering armies, or peaceful farmers – there are achievements to earn for all factions.

The Episodes are the main recurring events of the Factions game, which propels the shared narrative of Star Wars Factions forward – it is through Episodes that factions compete against each other for valuable points and prizes.

There are also a number of smaller challenges, like the Limited Time Challenges that offer factions a chance to earn double XP.

Factions Achievements

Achievements are earned, honors given to Factions during and at the end of the season for accomplishing various goals from the Achievements list. The winners of the season will be determined by the amount of Achievements a Faction has earned in each category; Community, Creativity, and Culture. The overall winner will be the Faction with the most earned Achievements across all four categories.

Episodes

Episodes are the primary build event of the Factions game. With regular intervals (usually bi-monthly), an episode will progress the overall storyline of the Factions game. Special rules and conditions will apply to each Episode.

Limited Time Challenge

As the name suggests, an LTC is a challenge that runs for a few weeks, usually with a double XP/IP reward. LTCs are often subject to a theme, topic, or a certain technique constraint (e.g. a theme like ‘land speeders’, a topic like ‘water’, or a technique constraint like ‘color red’ or a specific LEGO brick).
