About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to expand your Imperial fleet in X-Wing with the VT-49 Decimator Expansion Pack! This beauty is one of the Empire's most feared ships, a true flying tank, perfect for long-range reconnaissance or providing support in raiding missions. The miniature itself is impressive, being the largest ship yet in the 1/270 scale, and it comes fully detailed and pre-painted for immediate play. Along with the ship, you'll receive four ship cards, three debris cloud tokens to add some flair to the battlefield, a new mission to test your tactics, and all the necessary tokens. And let's not forget the thirteen upgrade cards, including crew members like the legendary Mara Jade and Fleet Officer, which will help you fill the three crew slots and give your Decimator a serious boost. If you enjoy commanding powerful ships and dominating space with the Imperial might, this expansion is a must-have to add more weight and strategy to your battles.
