This expansion brings the iconic TIE Fighter to your X-Wing miniatures game, and it's not just one, but six of them to give you that 'Imperial swarm' feel. You know how it is, right? TIE Fighters are the backbone of the Emperor's fleet: fast, agile, and most importantly, in massive numbers! They lack shields and have basic armament, but their speed and maneuverability make up for it in a dogfight.

And to add a special touch, it includes the pilot 'Backstabber,' one of Darth Vader's wingmen, known for being particularly dangerous when attacking from the flanks or rear. With him in command, your attacks gain an extra dose of cunning and lethality. It's the perfect expansion for those who want to feel the might of the Empire on their tabletop, adding more ships and strategies to dominate the galaxy. Prepare for incredible maneuvers and thrilling dogfights that only the Star Wars universe can offer!
