About the game
Time to boost your X-Wing fleet with the Y-Wing Expansion Pack! If you're into beefier ships with a respectable arsenal, this expansion is for you. The Y-Wing, while not the most agile in the galaxy, makes up for it with reinforced armor and shields that can take a beating. And the best part: it comes with an ion cannon that can disable enemy ships without destroying them outright. Think of it as a tactical 'disarm' that can turn the tide in your favor!

This beauty brings back the legendary Rebel pilot Horton Salm, known as Gray Leader, who has a pinpoint aim even at long distances. With him and three additional pilots, you can assemble more durable squadrons with interesting tactical options. The expansion adds the ability to equip the Y-Wing with the ion cannon, opening up a range of strategies to incapacitate your opponents before delivering the final blow. It's the missing piece for those who want to add durability and strategic firepower to their X-Wing collection. Perfect for anyone seeking a tactical space combat experience, focusing on iconic ships and the thrill of the Star Wars saga.
