About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to supercharge your Imperial fleets in X-Wing with the Imperial Veterans Expansion Pack! If you're already into the tactical space combat of the base game, this expansion adds an extra kick for Empire fans. We get two brand-new TIE ship miniatures with alternate paint schemes: a gray TIE Bomber, signature of Gamma Squadron, and a vibrant red TIE Defender, reminiscent of Countess Ryad and Glaive Squadron. But it's not just about looks, you know? These beauties come with eight veteran pilots and thirteen upgrades that will boost your ships' capabilities and versatility. Think new tactics, special abilities, and combinations that will leave your opponents scrambling. To top it off, there's a new mission, 'Disable the Relays,' which is perfect for testing all these new features and exploring fresh strategies. This expansion is for those who want to upgrade their battles and add more strategic options to their Imperial arsenal. It's more X-Wing, more Star Wars, more strategic fun!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game of X-Wing to use this expansion?
Yes, absolutely! This is an expansion, so you'll need the Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game base game to use the ships, pilots, and upgrades included here.
Does this expansion add a lot of new rules?
It adds pilot and upgrade cards that bring new abilities and tactics, plus a specific mission. It doesn't change the basic rules of the game but greatly expands strategic possibilities.
How many ships come in this pack?
The Imperial Veterans pack comes with two TIE ship miniatures, each with a different paint scheme.
Is this an expansion for solo play or does it require more players?
X-Wing is a game for at least 2 players, and this expansion adds more options for one of the sides (the Empire). You can use it in regular matches or in the included mission, which is also designed for player-versus-player combat.
Are the pilots in this expansion better than those in the base game?
The veteran pilots included have unique abilities and often offer bonuses or special capabilities that can be more advantageous in certain strategic situations than basic pilots. They are designed to provide more versatility.
Is it worth it for someone just starting X-Wing?
If you've decided you want to play as the Empire and are enjoying the base game, this can be a great addition for more variety. For someone starting from scratch, it might be better to get the base game first and then add expansions.
