It also adds iconic aces like Vult Skerris, Commandant Gorran, and Ciena Ree to your hangar alongside powerful Imperial faction upgrades like Disciplined and Skystrike Academy Class. The Skystrike Academy Squadron Pack brings Imperial brutality to the table in Star Wars™: X-Wing, including a pair of swift TIE/in Interceptors and a devastating TIE/d Defender. In such a cutthroat environment, the treacherous thrive – those willing to prioritize their own survival while extolling the virtue of other people’s sacrifices. At training facilities like Skystrike Academy, Imperial cadets are taught to put the mission above the lives of their comrades. The Galactic Empire is a regime sustained by cruelty and callous disregard for life, including the lives of its own pilots. Whether you are a new player of Star Wars™: X-Wing or an old pirate like Hondo Ohnaka who has been playing Scum and Villainy for years, this squadron pack delivers the best and worst of the galactic underworld to the game table. And still others are there not in the criminal underworld because they desire to be, but because the galaxy has left them outcast, like Kanan Jarrus. Some are mercenaries like Arliz Hadrassian and the Amaxine Warriors who flock to conflicts in any era. The Fugitives and Collaborators Squadron Pack for Scum and Villainy includes one HWK-290 light freighter and two BTL-A4 Y-wing starfighters, all flown by outsiders who find themselves drawn into deadly conflicts. From outcast Jedi padawans trying to forget their pasts after Order 66 to mercenaries who serve the nefarious First Order for credits, there have always been Fugitives and Collaborators.

X-Wing’s solo rules are available to download for free now.Throughout the history of the Star Wars™ galaxy, there have been those who stood in the shadows between the great powers of each era. The release of X-Wing’s solo rules follows the game’s publisher Fantasy Flight Games suspending the game’s tournament planned to take place at this year’s delayed Origins Game Fair, alongside competitions for Legend of the Five Rings. The player wins the solo game should they survive long enough to destroy the enemy ship. The different possible responses can be seen on the various approach charts featured in the solo rules book, with the chosen enemy target and dice roll deciding how the ship will move.Īside from rules determining movement, the flight system includes a system that determines how the enemy ship attacks and modifies dice to prevent or remove damage done by the player.
This is a stage unique to the single-player mode, and takes place after the player has completed their planning phase. Using the solo rules, the ship controlled by the game will respond in a different way depending on what happens during the ‘determine approach’ stage. Instead of simultaneously revealing both players’ flight paths, the solo rules has the human player use their manoeuvre dial before checking to see what the enemy ship will do. The new single-player game mode for Star Wars: X-Wing replaces the lone player’s opponent with an automated flight system that will determine where an enemy ship flies to and which targets it selects. Whoever shoots their opponent’s ships down first emerges victorious. Players then simultaneously reveal the flight path of their ship and engage in combat if they can line up a shot. The miniatures game sees players secretly deciding the direction and speed of their ship each turn using a manoeuvre dial. Unlike other Star Wars games involving miniatures - such as the larger-scale Star Wars: Armada and ground-based Star Wars: Legion - X-Wing focuses on the dogfighting between smaller handfuls of ships such as Imperial TIE Fighters and Rebel X-Wings. Typically a two-player game, X-Wing sees players face off against one another as Rebel, Empire or Scum and Villainy fighter pilots in a spaceship battle. Go toe-to-toe with an imaginary opponent in a dogfight amongst the stars with a new solo game mode for the Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game.
