If ships are destroyed in a space battle, ground troops are removed by the controlling player down to the carrying capacity amount.

If the DS destroys the system with the Rebel Base in it, the Imperials win immediately. It does not matter if the base is revealed or not. This was clarified by an email from the designer and is quoted in the Official Rules Responses thread: https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/217120-official-rules-responses/

Could you point me towards the rules for this? All I see is fighting a space battle, followed by a ground battle. Can't find the bit where any transports destroyed kill the troops inside?

Thanks in advance.

You can't fight ground battles in destroyed systems.

So what happens when you destroy Coruscant intentionally?

Does the Empire thematically lose?

Can the rebels still use Heart of the Empire?

Not much.

And yeah the Rebs can use still use Heart. The card specifies the rebels have units, not ground units.

Losing Coruscant has no effect on the game.

Pretty sure the objective could still be scored.

In the Rules Reference, under Destroyed Systems:

"-Ground units can move into destroyed systems, but ground battles cannot occur there. If the number of units that require transport exceed the transport capacity of the player’s ships in the system, the player must destroy the excess units"

This only happens in destroyed systems because there isn't a place for the ground troops to land. If the system isn't destroyed then the space battle's carrying capacity doesn't matter since the troops are on the ground in the system.

Hi all; yeah - I didn't mean the Imp. ground units - I was referring to the Rebel ground units (and Leaders). But thanks much for the info of the official word on the R. Base - again, it would only make sense.

Have a good one, Steiner

When the system is initially destroyed, all Rebel ground units are immediately destroyed. All Imperial units above the carrying capacity of the Imperial units within the system are destroyed as well. Leaders for both sides survive the system destruction.
