About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to take off and show who rules the galaxy with the Imperial Aces expansion pack for X-Wing! If you're an Imperial fan and love seeing those TIE Fighters in action, this expansion is for you. It brings two TIE Interceptor miniatures with alternate paint schemes, allowing you to choose between the famous 181st Imperial Fighter Wing or the Emperor's Royal Guard. It's like picking your favorite team to dominate the skies!
But it's not just about looks, you know? This expansion supercharges your game with brand-new, highly skilled pilots, ready to give you that strategic edge. Plus, you get a dozen upgrade cards to make your ships even more lethal and customized, not to mention all the tokens and maneuver dials you need to field these beauties.
And for those who enjoy a good story, there's an exclusive new mission where the Empire tests experimental technology in a high-intensity clash against the Rebels. It's a chance to relive epic moments or create your own battle scenarios. If you already enjoy X-Wing and want more options for the Imperial side, especially with agile and dangerous ships like the TIEs, this expansion is an almost mandatory upgrade. Expand your fleets, challenge your friends, and see who has the best galactic dogfight!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base X-Wing game to use this expansion?
Absolutely! This is an expansion, so you need to own the Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game base game to use the ships and cards included here.
How many ships come in this pack?
The Imperial Aces pack includes two TIE Interceptor miniatures, each with a different paint scheme to represent distinct Imperial factions.
Does this expansion add many new rules?
It introduces a new mission with a specific objective, but the core combat and movement rules remain the same as the base game. The focus is on adding more tactical options with the new pilots and upgrades.
Is this a solo game?
No, X-Wing is a game for 2 to 4 players. This expansion adds more options for the Imperial side, which can be used in games with more players or in 1v1 matches.
Are the pilots in this expansion better than those in the base game?
They come with unique abilities and stats that can be very advantageous in certain situations. The goal is to offer new strategies and synergies with the included upgrades.
Can I mix these ships with those from other expansions?
Yes! One of X-Wing's great strengths is its flexibility. You can combine the ships and upgrades from this expansion with any others you own, creating custom fleets.
