Palpatine

“The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.”
   –Darth Vader, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi

There is power in the dark side of the Force. Channeling the raw emotions of anger and hatred can grant a Force-sensitive individual the strength they need to realize their boundless ambition. In the hands of a true master, there is no telling what the dark side can accomplish. Nowhere in the Star Wars galaxy is there a better example of this than Emperor Palpatine. Through the power of the dark side, he was able to seize power and forge the Galactic Empire, altering the fate of the entire galaxy.
Now, Emperor Palpatine is poised to show the Rebellion the true power of the dark side on the battlefields of Star Wars: Legion with the Emperor Palpatine Commander Expansion. Although he may appear feeble on the outside, this façade masks the potential to unleash his full fury on the enemy and turn the tide of a battle in a single instant. 
In this expansion, you’ll find one easily assembled, unpainted Emperor Palpatine miniature, the Emperor’s three signature command cards, three upgrade cards, and all the other cards and tokens you need to add the Emperor to your army as a commander. Read on to see how you can use the Emperor to hatch your own schemes and seize victory!

 Unleash Your Anger

Although he does not often appear on the battlefield, Emperor Palpatine’s mere presence is enough to change the tone of a battle. As the ruler of the Galactic Empire, he exemplifies the Empire’s tendency to concentrate power in expensive units that can pack a punch. In fact, at 210 points, Emperor Palpatine is the most expensive Star Wars: Legion unit thus far, costing more than an AT-ST or even the fearsome Darth Vader.
This may seem like a steep price to pay for a single miniature, but those who do will be able to wield the Force at an unprecedented level. With three Force upgrade slots, Emperor Palpatine can easily use the dark side to Force Choke an enemy trooper mini and—thanks to his Master of the Force 2 keyword—he surpasses his apprentice Darth Vader with the ability to ready two of these upgrade cards during the End Phase.

The Emperor works well with any Force upgrade, of course, but he’s perhaps at his best when he seizes upon his Anger.  This new dark side-exclusive upgrade grants an aim token after you suffer one or more wounds, ensuring that Emperor Palpatine can retaliate with a potent salvo of Force Lightning should an enemy unit dare fire at him.
As useful as this may be, Emperor Palpatine is not typically one to wait to be attacked. The dark side thrives upon aggression, and if you’re looking to go on the offensive, Anger becomes even more effective when combined with Emperor Palpatine’s And Now...You Will Die command card. With this card in play, the Emperor can suffer a wound and gain a suppression token to perform an attack during his activation. Better yet, he can do this any number of times, and each time he does Anger will provide an aim token to reroll two of the six dice rolled with Force Lightning. Although the exertion from such an effort will take its toll, the Emperor is more than capable of obliterating multiple enemy units in a single activation, reshaping the fight.

As potent a combatant as he is, Emperor Palpatine is just as adept at manipulating his enemies into doing exactly what he wants. If he goads them enough with his Give in to Your Anger command card, he could disrupt their strategy for an entire round. This card gives Emperor Palpatine the power to choose an enemy trooper unit that your opponent must activate! Even more sinister, the selected unit gains four suppression tokens if it does not perform an attack during its activation, limiting its options and potentially sending it running away from the action in a panic.
You don’t necessarily need to scheme, of course, if you have the weight of the Imperial war machine behind you, and Emperor Palpatine can have An Entire Legion of troops ready to go at a moment’s notice. With this cards, you have the unprecedented ability to issue orders to every eligible unit in your army, making sure it is mobilized and ready to go. Although it’s unlikely to win you priority, this is of little concern when you have the freedom to activate any unit you’d like. 

Even with his many strengths, Emperor Palpatine is still the head of the Galactic Empire and is afforded the protections of someone befitting his rank. He is almost always accompanied by an entourage of Imperial Royal Guards and, as such, you can ignore the rank of one of these units when building your army.
Not only does this leave three spots in your army open for other special forces units, it also ensures the Emperor’s guards are always ready to come to his defense by letting the Emperor issue an order to a friendly Imperial Royal Guards unit at Range 1–2 during the command phase. And, if he truly is in need of protection, Emperor Palpatine can use Pulling the Strings to have a friendly trooper unit at Range 1–2 perform a free attack or move action.

Veers, Star Wars : L’Empire contre-attaque

Dans les batailles de la Guerre Civile galactique, l’Empire soulève souvent le poids de sa machine militaire contre les forces éparpillées de l’Alliance rebelle. Même s’ils sont mal équipés, les rebelles font toujours preuve d’une défense pleine d’esprit, réussissant à plier sans casser, devant la puissance apparemment inexorable de l’Empire.
Retrouvez dès aujourd’hui ces extensions auprès de votre revendeur local ou en ligne sur notre site Web !
Quel que soit le camp que vous choisissez dans ce conflit qui déchire toute la galaxie, vous avez aujourd’hui de nouvelles unités à ajouter à votre armée — une unité pouvant aider les généraux rebelles à se positionner et à créer une ligne de défense solide, et une autre amenant aux troupes impériales la puissance de feu nécessaire à leur frappe sur lignes ennemies pour mettre fin à la rébellion pour de bon. L’extension d’unité Cannon laser 1,4 FD et l’extension d’unité Équipe Blaster Lourd E-Web pour Star Wars™ : Legion sont disponibles dès maintenant chez votre revendeur local ou en ligne sur notre site Web !

Des vagues sans relief de Stormtroopers aux petits détachements de 74-Z Speeder Bikes, l’Empire dispose d’un grand nombre d’unités terrifiantes à lancer contre les malheureux Rebelles. La plupart de ces unités peuvent être combattues par de l’infanterie standard, mais cela change dès qu’un puissant Walker impérial, comme un AT-ST, entre sur le terrain. En plus de disposer de suffisamment de puissance de feu pour éliminer rapidement toute une équipe de troupes rebelles, ces unités disposent d’un blindage épais qui ne peut pas être percé par un tir de blaster conventionnel.
Pour arrêter l’avancée de ces monstruosités mécaniques et défendre des points clés sur le champ de bataille, la Rébellion déploie souvent des équipes de canons laser 1,4 FD. Ces canons ne peuvent peut-être pas bouger, mais ils peuvent tirer jusqu’à une portée de 4 avec cinq dés d’attaque noirs. Le mot-clé Impact 2 leur donne une bonne chance de passer l’armure de toute unité ennemie se trouvant à sa portée.
L’extension d’unité Équipe Cannon Laser 1,4 FD comprend une figurine Team Laser 1,4 FD facile à assembler, une carte d’unité correspondante, une collection de pions et trois cartes d’amélioration pour modifier le niveau de puissance de votre arme et améliorer sa communication avec votre commandant. Surcharge du Générateur, par exemple, peut donner encore plus de puissance au Canon à laser 1,4 FD, en ajoutant un dé noir supplémentaire et un impact 1.

Assaut rebelle

Malgré la précision affichée par les Stormtroopers impériaux avec leurs fusils E-11 Blaster, les troupes rebelles ont un talent surnaturel pour se protéger et échapper aux tirs. Pour nettoyer un nid particulièrement rétif de vermine rebelle, l’Empire fait entrer ses plus gros canons. Une seule équipe de Blaster Loud E-Web apporte plus de puissance de feu qu’une unité complète de Stormtroopers et, mieux encore, vous donne la cadence de tir nécessaire pour éliminer les rebelles avant qu’ils ne se mettent à couvert.
Contrairement à une équipe de Cannon laser 1,4 FD, qui doit rester immobile, une équipe de Blaster Lourd E-Web peut pénétrer au cœur des lignes ennemies. Cette mobilité n’est cependant pas sans limite. Le puissant générateur de l’E-Web empêche l’équipe d’exploitation de bouger à une vitesse normale et rend impossible le déplacement et le tir lors de la même activation. Une fois en place, il peut par contre rapidement pivoter pour menacer toutes les directions, prêt à semer le chaos sur les troupes ennemies, en particulier si son groupe d’attaque possède deux dés d’attaque blancs supplémentaires grâce au Générateur de Barrage.
L’extension d’unité de l’équipe Blaster Lourd E-Web contient une figurine non peinte et facile à assembler, ainsi qu’une carte d’unité, une série de pions et trois cartes d’amélioration pour modifier sa cadence de tir et sa puissance.

"This is our most desperate hour."
   –Leia Organa, Star Wars: A New Hope

Fantasy Flight Games is happy to announce the Rebel Specialists Personnel Expansion and the Imperial Specialists Personnel Expansion for Star Wars™: Legion!

Order your own copy of these expansion packs at your local retailer or online through our website today!

Armies are more than just soldiers. To wage an effective war across the countless planets of the Star Wars galaxy, both the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire need recruits who can do more than fight. In the chaotic battles of the Galactic Civil War, soldiers who can facilitate communications, keep their troops and vehicles in the fight as long as possible, and effectively lead every part of their army into the thick of the battle are just as valuable as the rank-and-file. These supporting troops keep armies up and running, and now, they’re making their ways to the battlefields of Star Wars: Legion.
In each of these expansions, you’ll find everything you need to incorporate these specialists into your Star Wars: Legion units. Four finely sculpted specialist miniatures, including an officer, a comms specialist, a medical droid, and an astromech droid stand ready to support your units, while three new command cards give you the chance to further hone your battle plan and plot your strategies. Finally, an array of upgrade cards let you further customize your units, turning them into crack teams of soldiers. Releasing in the first quarter of 2019, these two expansions open up new possibilities for your Star Wars: Legion armies!

Veteran Instincts

Both the Rebellion and the Empire are fortunate enough to have their share of powerful leaders. No matter if their troops are led into battle by the inspiring presence of Leia Organa or terrified into performing their best by the intimidating Darth Vader, each faction’s commanders bring their own style to the battles of Star Wars: Legion, shaping the flow of battle with unique abilities and signature command cards. But the Galactic Civil War rages across many worlds, and these commanders cannot be present at every battle. In those cases, both Rebellion and Empire rely on their veteran officers to implement their battle plan and seize victory.
Appropriately, then, both personnel expansions give you an alternative to these more well-known heroes in the form of non-unique Rebel and Imperial officers. Not as widely celebrated as other commanders, these officers contribute to the cause nonetheless, making your armies more flexible with their ability to be deployed in two different ways. On one hand, these minis can be added to a specific unit as its leader, inspiring the troops in that unit to new heights.
On the other hand, these officers can take on a larger role, becoming a cheap alternative to your other commanders. In this case, they can benefit your entire army by filling the role of commander, spotting targets for your other units or helping them take cover. Regardless of how you use them on the battlefield, the officers in both personnel expansions are accompanied by three new command cards that can be used by any commander in their faction. A good commander needs to coordinate with all their troops and, appropriately enough, these cards let you issue orders to any type of unit, ensuring that the right unit is ready to go exactly when you need them and letting you tailor your strategies to specific units in your army.
We’ll take a closer look at both the Rebel and Imperial officers and their command cards in future previews!

Special Forces

Officers on both sides of the conflict oversaw many of the unsung battles of the Galactic Civil War, working alongside their troops to capture objectives and secure victory. But they are far from the only troops to take on a specialized role within their units. Many Star Wars: Legion units, such as Rebel Troopers and Stormtroopers, feature the personnel icon in their upgrade bar. Thus far, these spots have been reserved for adding extra figures of the same type to these units, adding extra dice to their attack pool and making the unit a bit heartier.
With the miniatures included in these personnel expansions, however, you suddenly have more options for customizing your units and enhancing the effectiveness of your army. Each miniature supports your units in a different way and can give even the most basic trooper squad a purpose beyond blasting away at enemy forces. For example, assigning a Rebel Comms Technician to a unit of Rebel Troopers adds a comms upgrade, potentially making this unit a linchpin of your strategy, receiving orders from the far side of the battlefield, relaying orders to other units, or even jamming enemy transmissions.
We’ll take a closer look at the other miniatures in these expansions, including all of their upgrade cards, in future previews!

Ground Support

Armies that operate efficiently and effectively rarely taste defeat, and with the Rebel and Imperial specialists on your side, you can be sure that your troops will be at their best.
Look for the Rebel Specialists Personnel Expansion (SWL26) to release alongside the Imperial Specialists Personnel Expansion (SWL27) in the first quarter of 2019. Pre-order your copies of these expansions at your local retailer or online through our webstore today!
