About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're a fan of X-Wing and looking to upgrade your Scum and Villainy fleets, this expansion pack is for you! The M3-A "Scyk" Interceptor is a light and inexpensive starfighter, but it can become a real headache for your opponent. Imagine a versatile fighter, capable of being equipped with almost anything you can think of: cannons, torpedoes, missiles... it can handle the heat!

This pre-painted miniature brings one of the most popular fighters among smugglers and the Hutt Cartel to your tabletop. It not only expands tactical options for those already playing the "Scum and Villainy" faction but also introduces the "Action Queue" mechanic, where you plan your movements and actions in advance, adding an extra layer of strategy.

The "Heavy Scyk" is the version you'll want for causing damage, capable of carrying heavy weaponry that transforms this little ship into a real threat. It's the kind of piece that makes a difference in intense battles, especially in one-on-one duels where every maneuver counts. If you enjoy customizing your fleet and are looking for new ways to surprise your opponent with an agile and powerful fighter, the M3-A Interceptor is an excellent addition to your X-Wing arsenal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Do I need the Star Wars: X-Wing base game to use this expansion?
Yes, absolutely! This is an expansion pack, so you need to own the Star Wars: X-Wing base game to fly the M3-A Interceptor.
How many players can participate with this expansion?
The base X-Wing game is for 2 players, and this expansion fits perfectly into that format, adding more options for combat between two fleets.
What is the complexity of adding and using the M3-A Interceptor?
The overall complexity of X-Wing is considered moderate (BGG weight 2/5). This expansion adds more tactical options but doesn't drastically increase the learning curve for those who already know the game's basics.
What comes in the box for this expansion?
You get a pre-painted M3-A Interceptor miniature, ship cards to use the fighter in the game, and upgrade cards to customize it with different weapons and abilities.
Is this expansion good for someone just starting X-Wing?
If you already have the base game and want to expand your options, yes! But if you're starting from scratch, I recommend getting the base game first to understand the rules.
Can I use the M3-A Interceptor in any faction?
No, this expansion is focused on the "Scum and Villainy" faction, adding more tactical options for that specific group.
