“We are the spark that’ll light the fire that’ll burn the First Order down.”
–Poe Dameron, Star Wars: The Last Jedi
The Empire may be gone, but its shadow still looms large across the galaxy. As X-Wing™ Second Edition ushers in a new era of starfighter combat in the Star Wars galaxy, the pilots of the Resistance aim to rekindle hope as they carry on the legacy of the Rebel Alliance.
Carrying on the torch first lit by the Rebellion against the Empire, the Resistance remains ever vigilant in its fight to maintain peace throughout the galaxy. With these expansions, you’re invited to join a new generation of heroes and experience the intense space combat seen in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi from behind the controls of these upgraded versions of iconic ships.
Beginning in X-Wing Second Edition, the Resistance has been spun off from the Rebel Alliance into its own distinct faction and, if you’re a veteran X-Wing player with an existing collection of ships, the Resistance Conversion Kit will bring your T-70 X-wing, YT-1300, and Resistance Bomber ships into the second edition, giving you everything you need to build your own Resistance squadrons. Then, whether you're a new player or a veteran, you’ll be able to grow your squadrons with two Resistance starfighter expansion packs, representing a new generation of pilots and ships in the ongoing Star Wars saga.
A New Generation of Starfighter
Carrying on the tradition set by ace Rebel pilots like Wedge Antilles, the heroes of the Resistance enter the fight against the First Order in the next evolution of the classic X-wing fighter. Upgraded in almost every conceivable way, the T-70 X-wing can equip a variety of astromechs, weapons, and other customizations preferred by individual pilots, making it an invaluable part of Resistance operations.
Already a flexible starfighter, the T-70 X-wing features even more versatility than its earlier incarnations. The ship’s built-in Weapon Hardpoint give it access to an unprecedented number of weapons, including cannons, torpedoes, and missiles. Meanwhile, just like the T-65 X-wing before it, the T-70 gives you the power to open and close its Integrated S-foils on the fly, offering even more options for maneuvering into the perfect position.
Besides its built-in capabilities, the T-70 X-Wing Expansion Pack features a full complement of twelve ship cards, including nine unique pilots who bring their own skills to your squadron. For example, Poe Dameron can take multiple actions in a single activation, giving you more power to position your ship or modify your dice. If he’s got aTargeting Synchronizer equipped, the benefits extend to his squadmates. In that case, friendly ships at Range 1–2 can ignore the lock requirement while attacking a target that Poe has locked.
In addition to the beautifully detailed, pre-painted miniature, the T-70 X-Wing Expansion Pack contains twelve ship cards, including nine unique pilots, six upgrade cards, and the tokens, base, pegs, and maneuver dial you need to grow your Resistance forces. Additionally, this expansion contains a few entirely new cards not seen in the first edition. These cards and associate punchboard are also included in the Resistance Conversion Kit for the benefit of veteran players.
