These aren't from an RPG, they are from the Star Wars Galactic Battle Game by Hasbro. Clearer image:

The symbols on the dice correspond to skills. Rolling the die grants a bonus to the corresponding attribute. Each card has its own list of bonuses, but lists all the attributes and their corresponding symbols:

  • \$\begingroup\$ Thanks. This die was in my desk when I started work at a new company 18 months ago. It sits on top of the desk and every couple of months I go online and tried to search for the source. The answer is even better than I could have hoped. I'm old enough to have seen all the Star Wars films as first runs, in the theatre. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @FrankLaPlante I used Kevin Cook's dicecollector.com - the website for largest dice collection in the world, with a very 1990s design sentiment but a pretty comprehensive filtering tool for managing the thousands of dice inside. \$\endgroup\$
