There are multiple ways for the empire to win in Star Wars Rebellion. Their primary objective is to locate and destroy the Rebel base before time runs out or before they lose too much control over star systems due to increasing popular support for the Rebellion. The empire can work towards achieving victory by using various strategies such as deploying powerful military forces across different sectors in order to force battles against Rebel units or launching missions aimed at gathering crucial intelligence like capturing rebel spies or conducting interrogations through planetary subjugation actions. Additionally, undertaking diplomatic efforts like coercing loyalty from influential systems or employing ruthless tactics such as blockading planets can also contribute towards weakening rebel forces and ultimately securing an imperial triumph.
