About the game
Get ready to supercharge your X-Wing space battles with the E-wing expansion! This ship isn't here to play around; it was designed to outperform the legendary X-wing in every aspect, blending the firepower and durability of the X-wing with the speed and agility of the A-wing. Think of a fighter that unites the best of both worlds, and still packs cutting-edge technology.

The E-wing's main advantage is its versatility. It can equip system upgrades and astromech droids simultaneously, opening up a range of tactical combinations that few other ships can match. Want to create a completely new and creative squad? The E-wing is your starting point! Imagine combining the R7-T1 droid with the Advanced Sensors upgrade and a pilot who uses the "Push the Limit" ability. You could perform up to three actions before revealing your maneuver! And if that maneuver is green, the pilot even ends their activation without a stress token. It's the kind of play that can turn the tide and surprise your opponent.

This expansion includes the detailed E-wing miniature, ship cards, upgrade cards, the maneuver dial, and all the necessary tokens for you to dive headfirst into new tactics. If you enjoy X-Wing and want to explore new strategies and wild combinations for building your squad, the E-wing is an essential addition to your fleet. Prepare to watch your game take off!
