About the game
What you do in a play session
The "Director Orson Krennic" expansion brings a new commander to the Star Wars: Legion universe, letting players control the ambitious Imperial director who, in real life, oversaw the construction of the Death Star. Featuring an incredibly detailed miniature, Krennic’s unit can command a horde of Death Troopers, while the new command, unit, and upgrade cards add tactical options that shift the flow of battle. The game still uses the classic dice‑rolling mechanic to resolve attacks and movements, but now each player can choose from different variable powers that adapt to their strategy over the course of the game. The expansion keeps the 2‑player balance but can be adapted for larger games with house rules. Playtime increases by roughly 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how aggressively players use the new cards. Complexity stays medium, as the dice mechanic remains familiar, but the introduction of a powerful commander demands additional strategic thinking. Ideal for Star Wars fans who want to deepen the campaign with an iconic character and for those who enjoy tactical miniature battles full of action and tactical variety.
