Campaign Introduction
Introduction
Foreword
Since X-wing Miniatures was released in
2012 there have been numerous fanmade
campaigns, ideas for new terrain types,
and projects to write artifical intelligence
to control opposing ships.
To my knowledge, no one has combined
these elements into a cohesive package.
With this campaign, I set out to convert
X-wing into a fully co-operative game for
1-6 players. Among our gaming group,
it has provided a refreshing alternative
to the standard dogfight game, in which
some of our favorite and most iconic Star
Wars ships no longer see regular play.

All missions in the campaign take place

on the standard 3x3 or 90x90cm play
area. You will need the 6 Asteroids from
the X-wing core set, 6 Debris fields, and
some missions use the Rebel transport.
Each player will need an X-wing or Y-wing.
For Imperial forces, you will need approximately 2 TIE Fighters per player, 1
of each other TIE for every 2 players, and
typically only 1 of each large or huge ship
as they are used as allies, mission objectives, or elite enemies.
If you do not have the ships or components listed for a mission, feel free to
either play another mission, proxy the
missing ships/pieces, or substitute
another ship with the same base size
and similar stats. However, be aware
that substitution may affect the missions
intended difficulty.
Other Required Components
In addition to X-wing components, many
of the missions also make use of the
following gaming supplies:
Numbered tokens from 1-12
(You can use X-wing base numbers)
Draw bag or opaque cup
One Six-sided die (1d6)
One Twelve-sided die (1d12)
Tokens to track Experience Points
earned; glass beads work well.

Campaign Setup
Campaign Basics
Your First Mission
Players are pilots in a Rebel squadron,

working together over a series of
campaign rounds to liberate a star
system from the Empires grasp.
The mission Local Trouble, p46, is intended as a starting mission for new players.
It doesnt have any campaign special
rules or new terrain, and provides a good
opportunity to get familiar with how the
Imperial AI works. It can be used to earn
a few experience points so players can
customize their pilots and ships a little
before launching into a full campaign.
During each campaign round, players

play missions co-operatively against the
AI (the core game of X-wing with some
changes), improve their pilots and ships,
and advance the story by modifying the
campaign mission deck.
During key missions, each faction can
earn Campaign Victory Points (VP),
representing control of the star system.
The number of VP needed to win the
campaign depends on the campaign
length chosen. See the following page.
You will need to:

Print an X-wing or Y-wing scoresheet
for each player, and perform ship setup.
See Choose a Starting Ship, p10.
Print and cut AI statcards for the
TIE Fighter and TIE Interceptor, and
familiarize yourself with how the AI
works. See AI Ships, p16.
Starting a New Campaign with Experienced Pilots

Players are intended to retire their pilots
when a campaign is complete, and any
future campaigns should be played
with new pilot scoresheets.
06
However, all missions in this book were

thoroughly tested to scale in difficulty
with Pilot Skill level, and can be replayed with high-level pilots if desired.

Setting up the Campaign

Once you are familiar with the AI and
the flow of the campaign format, you
are ready to commence the full-fledged
campaign. Players must decide on a
campaign length, which determines the
number of missions arcs used and the
possible missions played:
Campaign Length
Short
Use 3 Starting Missions

(6-9 Missions total)
Earn 2 Campaign VP to win
Medium Use all 5 Starting Missions

(9-15 Missions total)
Earn 3 Campaign VP to win
Additional future mission arcs
will allow for longer campaigns.
Mission Deck
Each mission has a corresponding card
which is used to form a mission deck.
Each campaign round, players draw
several cards from the mission deck
and choose one to play. Missions are
loosely organized into story arcs, and
when a mission is completed, it is usually
removed from the deck and the next part
of the story (another mission card) is
added to the mission deck, replacing it.
Not all of the missions in the campaign
are equally important or difficult. Starter
missions are smaller skirmishes that
provide good flight practice while later
missions involve bigger, better-defended
targets that must be conquered to earn
campaign victory points.
Prepare Mission Deck

Print and cut out the mission cards.
Separate out all of the mission cards with
Start in the top corner, and set the rest
aside. Shuffle the starting missions and
draw (or choose) a number of them depending on the campaign length chosen.
Shuffle the chosen starting missions to
form a mission deck. Keep this deck and
the remaining missions with your squads
scoresheets. Each missions victory text
will instruct you modify the deck by adding new missions or discarding missions
as you play the campaign.
Assemble New Terrain
To make the new terrain tiles, it is
recommended to print them on sticker
paper and stick them to cardboard.
For reference, each Mission card
includes a list of required components.
You may not need to print and cut all of
the new terrain if you are only playing
the Short campaign and didnt draw any
missions that use a given terrain type.
Prepare AI & Imperial Pilots
Print and cut the Imperial Pilot cards
and shuffle them into a deck. Print the
AI Statcards - if you normally sleeve your
cards, you might consider laminating
these instead. If desired, also print the
Reference cards.
See Mission Story Arcs, p44

Player Scoresheets
Each player should use a scoresheet to
keep track of their ship, including their
current pilot skill, experience points
earned/spent, missions flown, kills,
and upgrades available to them for each

mission. It is highly recommended to
record your ship data in pencil, as these
fields may change frequently.

Pilots Ship Setup

Choose a Starting Ship
When beginning a campaign, each player
may choose to fly either an X-wing or a
Y-wing with some Experience Points (XP)
to immediately spend on upgrade cards.
Players cannot purchase additional Pilot
Skill with their initial XP. Record unspent
XP on your player scoresheet.
See Spending Experience, p12.
Players may change to other types of
Rebel ships once they reach Pilot Skill 4.

Pilots Spending Experience Points

Spending Experience
Players can spend Experience Points on
five different areas. Of the possibilities
below, only Upgrades and Modifications
may be purchased with a players starting
experience points. Unspent points are
banked for later.

Upgrades & Modifications

XP Cost = Squad Point Cost
When you spend XP to buy an upgrade
or modification, you are securing access
to that equipment. All upgrades you
have unlocked are available to you when
preparing your ship for a mission. You
can own more upgrades/abilities than
the slots on your player scoresheet and
choose which to equip for each mission.
If you want to field multiple copies of a
card (such as Proton Torpedoes, or Hull
Upgrade), you must buy multiple copies.
Upgrades and Elite abilities with discard
this card effects are reloaded/refreshed
for each mission and do not need to be
re-purchased with XP after each use.
Free Upgrades:
Upgrades that cost 0 or negative points,
such as MChardaan Refit, tA-Wing
Test Pilot, tBTL-A4 and PBomb Loadout are already built into ship statcards;
they are not considered upgrades for
eject rolls or mission effects.
12
Changing Ships
XP Cost = 5 XP
Initially, you can only choose between the
X-wing and Y-wing. Once you reach Pilot
Skill 4, you may also choose between the
A-wing, B-wing or HWK-290.
When changing ships, take the
scoresheet for the new ship and record
all your unlocked upgrades that the new
ship can take, along with your kills and
missions flown. Any upgrades that cannot be equipped to the new ship can be
written on the back, in case you change
ships again.
If you wish to change ships again (even
back to a ship you had before), you must
spend another 5XP.

Increase Pilot Skill
Elite Pilot Talents
XP Cost = New Pilot Skill Level x2
XP Cost = Squad Point Cost x2
Must be purchased one level at a time.

XP Cost examples:
PS2 to PS3 will cost (3x2) = 6XP.
PS3 to PS4 will cost (4x2) = 8XP.
When you reach Pilot Skill 3, your ship

gains an Elite Pilot Talent slot. They are
generally better than other upgrades,
and you are less likely to lose Elite Pilot
Talents when suffering Eject penalties.
Each increase in pilot skill comes with an

additional benefit: You gain an additional
Elite Pilot Talent icon at Pilot Skill levels
3,5,7, and 9, and an additional ship
modification icon at Pilot Skill 4, 6, and 8.
Note that EVeteran Instincts does not
increase your Pilot Skill for this purpose.
Pilot Skill and Campaign Difficulty:
The overall difficulty level of the campaign,
including the number of enemy ships and
the quality of Elite enemies, is determined
by the average Pilot Skill rating of all the
Rebel players flying the current mission.
The Elite Pilot Talent E Squad Leader

may not be purchased; it has a special
function in the campaign. See Assign
Squad Leader, p28 for details.
Multiple Elite Pilot Talents:
Unlike the standard game, as players
increase in Pilot Skill they are able to
combine up to four (five for an A-wing)
Elite Pilot Talents and Pilot Abilities, in
new and powerful combinations. Part of
the fun of playing the campaign is building
ships that are far too unbalanced for
normal skirmish play.
Therefore, players should be careful not

to purchase too many levels of Pilot Skill
before other upgrades, unless they are
looking for a significant challenge.
13
Pilots Pilot Abilities

Rebel Pilot Abilities
XP Cost = Pilot Skill of Original Owner
The pilot abilities of existing Rebel pilots
may be purchased and equipped as if
they were Elite Pilot Talents. However,
most of them cannot be purchased until
your pilot is very experienced.
Your pilot skill must be greater than or

equal to the Pilot Skill of the Rebel Pilot
whose ability you wish to purchase. The
cost is equal to the PS column, below.

Introduction AI Ships
AI ships do not program dials during the
Planning Phase like human players do.
Instead, they determine their maneuver
when it is their turn to activate during
the Activation Phase. The Empire always
has Initiative, so AI ships will always act
before Rebel ships of the same Pilot Skill.
easy to outmaneuver, but Elite ships with

high pilot skill that can barrel roll or boost
are much more challenging to catch.
When activating an AI ship during the
Activation Phase, follow Steps 1-3 on its
statcard, top to bottom. Sometimes you
will need to pre-measure for maneuvers
or actions in order to help it make the
correct choice for the situation.
When activated, AI ships choose a

target and then roll to determine their
maneuver based on the targets current
distance and bearing. AI ships do not
take their targets pilot skill into account;
only its current position and facing. As
a result, AI ships with low pilot skill are
When an AI ship activates during the

Combat Phase, use the Attack Target
step to determine its attack target.
Some mission special rules modify this.

AI Ships Setup
AI Setup
AI Deployment
For each AI ship present, you will need

the model with its base and its AI card.
AI ships do not need maneuver dials.
For ships other than TIE Fighters, you
will also usually need to draw an Imperial
Pilot card to determine its equipment.
See Enemy Ship Types, p33.
The missions Squad Composition table

lists which enemy ships are present,
and the mission diagram indicates
where those squadrons enter play using
numbered arrows (vectors). See Mission
Setup Diagrams, p30 for more details.
Ship Numbering
For each mission, number all AI enemy
ships listed in the Squad Composition
table in ascending order. For example,
if Alpha and Beta Squadrons have 4 TIE
Fighters each, number the Alpha Squad
ships 1-4 and the Beta Squad ones 5-8.
If additional enemy ships deploy later in
the mission, continue numbering them in
the same way.
This is most important for AI ships of
the same pilot skill. The numbers on their
bases will be the order they activate,
move, and fire in, lowest to highest.
This numbering system removes any
player decision-making from the AI ship
activation order.

the missions setup diagram and follow
the diagram to the left.
Deploy the highest numbered ship in
position A along the board edge, the next
highest in B, and so on until all ships
in the squadron are placed. The ships
should be spaced about 2cm apart, so
that the width of a maneuver template
fits between them.
Since the lowest-numbered ship in a
formation moves first, this setup prevents
them from overlapping each other (and
losing their actions) most of the time.

Step 1: Select Target
Other AI Target Selections
Follow the steps on the AI statcard to

choose the target that best meets the
criteria. Use this target for all activation
phase steps (1-3), but re-select a target
when attacking in the combat phase (%).
The default AI logic presented in this

section is referred to as Attack. Many
missions in the campaign have special
rules that override the standard target
selection for some squadrons of AI ships:
Strike AI
These AI ships relentlessly pursue a
specific target (usually a mission objective)
and will use that target for movement
and action selection. If possible, they will
also fire on the same target during the
combat phase, unless they can make a
Range 1 attack against something else.
Determining Nearest
The target that is physically nearest in
the shortest range band is considered
nearest. If there are several possible
targets that are at similar distances,
choose the one that is closest to being
directly ahead of the AI ship.
Touching
AI ships ignore targets they are touching
unless there are no other targets within
range. In this case, treat the target as
being at Range 1 behind the AI ship.
Formations
During the Activation Phase, all ships in a
Formation make the same choices during
their Select Target and Select Maneuver
steps. When the lowest-numbered ship
in a formation activates, use its position
and facing to determine the target. All
other ships in the formation will select
the same target.
Flee AI
Mission special rules will specify a board
edge. These ships will use the nearest
point of that board edge as their target.
When performing a maneuver, use the
fastest speed for the selected bearing.
Escort AI
These ships only have modified Action
Selection. If their escort target is within
Range 1, they will use the Protect Action
on it. See Protect, p40.
Targeting Huge Ships
When selecting a target, use the
nearest point of the huge ships base to
determine if it is the priority target.
If the huge ship can move this round,
use the distance and position of its front
stand when selecting a maneuver. If the
Huge ship does not move (due to mission
special rules) use its nearest stand, and
treat it as if it were Closing.
19
AI Ships Maneuvers
Step 2: Select Maneuver
Red Maneuvers & Stress
Once a target is selected, determine its

distance, and facing relative to the AI
ship and use this information to select
the appropriate maneuver table from the
diagram. Roll a six-sided die, and excute
the maneuver that matches the result.
If an AI ship executes a red maneuver,

it does not receive a stress token
simply skip its Action Selection step.
This rule is crucial for operating the AI.
However, AI ships can still receive stress
from other effects such as Debris Fields
and Flechette Torpedoes. While an AI
ship has a stress token, it may still perform red maneuvers and acquire tokens,
but cannot perform free actions. Its
next normal action will be used to remove
the stress token. If a ship can perform
multiple actions, (due to Push the Limit,
for example) it may remove a stress token
first and then select another action.
For targets on the port (left) side, use

the corresponding table on the right side
of the diagram, reversing the maneuver
icons. Note that some ships like the
Decimator (d) have maneuvers that
turn away from their targets.
Determining Direction
The AIs maneuver tables are divided into
8 directions, but sometimes its nearest
target is on a dividing line. In this case,
use the table that the target ship is facing towards. If the target ship is pointing
directly toward or away from the AI ship,
randomly choose which table to use.
Determining Inner or Outer tables
If the target is at Range 1, or at Range 2
and Closing on the AI ship, use the inner
tables. If the target is at Range 2 and
Fleeing from the AI ship, or at Range 3+,
use the outer tables. Each AI statcard
has a reminder
R1/R2+Closing
in the corner:
R3+/R2+Fleeing
Ion Tokens
An AI ship with an Ion token does not
need to select a maneuver as it must
perform a 1 8 for the ionization effect.
However, it must still select a target in
Step 1, since it must reference the
targets position during Action Selection
to determine which action(s) it takes.
B

20

Obstacles and Board Edges

If the AI ships maneuver template or ship
base will overlap an obstacle, it attempts
to Swerve. Adjust its chosen maneuver
once to try and avoid the collision, as
described below. If it is unable to avoid
the obstacle by swerving, execute its
original move. If an AI ship begins its
movement overlapping an obstacle, it
does not attempt to Swerve that turn.
Swerving
Adjust the intended bearing of the
maneuver 45 in either direction and
then select a new maneuver at the same
speed (or closest speed possible within
the limitations of the ships dial) that
brings it closest to its target. Koiogran
Turns 2 will change to banks 9. If the
ships new maneuver will still collide with
the obstacle, perform the original
maneuver chosen and suffer the collision.
Swerving and Formations
Although all ships in a formation select
the same maneuver, they move one at
a time in ascending order and each will
swerve independently as required. This
may cause ships to break formation
see Breaking Formation, p23.
Board Edges
Unlike avoiding obstacles, AI ships make
every effort to avoid the board edge. If
their chosen maneuver causes them to
leave the board, select the most similar
maneuver that still keeps on the board.
If there is no possible maneuver that
achieves this, the AI ship is destroyed.
If the AI flies off the board as a result
of being ionized, the player that ionized
them scores XP for the kill.
Swerving Examples
A TIE Fighter attempting a 1 6 will collide
with an asteroid. Changing the maneuvers
bearing would result in a 1 9, but the TIE
Fighter cant perform that maneuver.
Instead it chooses the next closest speed
for that maneuver it has; a 2 9. This will
not result in the TIE hitting an asteroid,
so it performs the 2 9.
Another TIE Fighter begins its move with
an asteroid directly in front of it. The
players are pretty sure this is a dumb
TIE Fighter pilot and that there are no
moves that will avoid the asteroid. The
TIE selects a 4 2. Since this maneuver
will overlap, swerving changes it to a 3 9.
This new maneuver will still cause the TIE
Fighter to overlap, so it simply performs
the original 4 2 and collides with the
asteroid anyway, in classic TIE Fighter style.
21
AI Ships Actions & Attacks

Step 3: Select Action
Step 4 (%): Attack Target
After moving, if an AI ship did not

perform a red maneuver, or overlap
an obstacle or ship, it will perform its
action step. Check each condition of its
action priority in order, top to bottom and
perform the first action that meets the
criteria. If the ship can perform multiple
actions, continue until it has performed
as many actions as possible.
Each AI ship determines a target to fire

upon during the Combat Phase, following
the steps on the AI statcard.
Pre-measuring Actions and Range

When deciding which action to perform,
most will require you to measure range,
check arcs, or see if repositioning will
fulfil that actions criteria.
Sometimes you may be able to judge
these criteria by eye, but usually you will
need to lay the range ruler or move templates and move the AI ship to check.
If it turns out that the ship cant meet the
criteria for doing an action after youve
measured or moved it, simply move it
back and check its next priority.
Clearing the Effects of Critical Hits
If an AI ship suffers from the effects of a
critical hit that can be removed with an
action, such as Damaged Sensor Array
or Console Fire, it will perform that
action as top priority (unless it is stressed).
Rolling Attack and Defense Dice

AI ships attempt to maximize the result
of each dice roll they make using any tokens and reroll abilities, regardless of the
defense value of the target they are firing
upon, or how likely they are to hit.
Use tokens assigned to the ship as
required below at the first opportunity.
Spending Tokens when Attacking
Spend tokens to maximize damage. If the
AI has a target lock on the defender, use
it to reroll all blanks. If the AI does not
have a focus token, also reroll all focus
results. Spend a focus token if there is at
least 1 eye result to convert to a hit.
Spending Tokens when Defending
Spend Focus and Evade tokens to reduce
damage as much as possible, without
adding excess evades. If a ship has both
tokens, spend its Evade token first, and
Focus token second, unless the Focus
token would prevent all damage taken.
If spending a token wont affect the
amount of damage taken, dont spend it.
22

Damage and Critical Hits

Damage and critical hits are resolved
as usual. Since the majority of Imperial
ships have no shields and most missions
require many ships to be in play, consider
assigning them the orange damage tokens
instead of drawing damage cards:
Any critical hits suffered can be tracked

by placing the card on the table beside
the affected ship or, if the ship is the only
one of its kind, on its AI statcard. This
greatly helps to keep things organized.
Applying Effects
If the AI player must choose the target of
an effect (such as Ruthlessness), it is
described on its Imperial Pilot card for
that ship. Otherwise, use the AI ships
target priority to determine which ship(s)
or targets are affected.
Earning Experience Points
Players gain Experience Point tokens
whenever they damage or destroy enemy
ships. See Earning Experience, p42
Breaking Formation
AI Ships will break from their Formation
and act independently when one of three
things happen:
1) The ship is no longer at Range 1 of
any other ship in its formation.
2) The ship is no longer facing the same
direction as the majority of ships in
a formation. This can happen due to
swerving to avoid an obstacle, or
being unable complete a maneuver
due to overlapping other ships.
3) One (or more) ships in the formation
collides with, or suffers damage from,
a player-controlled (Rebel) ship. Do not
break formation for Imperial collisions.

AI Ships Sample Dogfight

1
4
1
Turn 1. Four Academy Pilot TIE Fighters

(T1, T2, T3, T4) deploy in formation.
Players deploy their PS2 X-wings (X1,
X2) on the far corner of the board and
set their dials. Players then activate the
TIEs. The nearest Rebel ship is out of
range at 45, and they are a formation,
so all will perform the same maneuver.
The roll is a 4, so each TIE performs a
3 7, moving in order of lowest number
to highest number (fig.1). There are no
enemy ships in combat range, so all four
TIEs evade. The Rebels move forward but
are out of range.
Turn 2. This time the nearest Rebel ship

is directly ahead, but still out of range.
The TIE formation rolls a 2. Each TIE
performs a 5 8 maneuver, again, lowest
to highest number. T1 and T2 are in
range of the Rebels and will Focus.
However, as T3 moves, it will hit an

asteroid. It must swerve and adjust its
maneuver 45 to a 3 9 (fig.2). Then,
since it can get X1 in range and arc
by barrel rolling, it will do so.
24
X2 fires at T1, getting dd. This TIE rolls

only 1f, but will spend its Focus token
Now, the X-wings move into range

and fire at Pilot Skill 2. X1 fires at T2,
and gets dd. The TIEs defense roll
is eef. Since it has already rolled
enough evades to mitigate all incoming
damage, it does not spend its token.
T4 moves but collides with T3. T4 will

not swerve to avoid hitting a ship;
only a hazardous obstacle (fig.3).

4
4
to prevent as much damage as possible.

X2 scores 1 Experience Point for damaging at least 1 enemy ship this turn.
The TIEs return fire at Pilot Skill 1, again

in order of lowest to highest number. T1
targets the only enemy it can: X2 (fig.4).
At Range 1, it rolls dff. With no
Focus token, the X-wing evades easily.
5
4
Although the remaining TIEs have both

X-wings in arc and in range, X1 is the
closest target for all of them. T2 rolls
ddf, and will spend its focus token
to maximize damage. X1 rolls 1e and
loses its shields, and the remaining TIEs
roll poorly add another 1 damage.
Turn 3. The TIE formation is now broken.

T3 is now facing a different direction
and would have selected its own target
anyway, but now that a ship in the formation has suffered damage (T1), all ships
break formation select their own targets.
The players set their dials again and then

activate each TIE in order. T1 targets
X2 and rolls a 3. Since the X-wing is at
Range 1 directly ahead, the result is
2 8: a collision. T2 selects X1, which is
at Range 1 and 45 to the right. It rolls
a 4, which results in a 4 2. There isnt
room to complete the maneuver, so it will
also collide with X2 (fig.5).
T3 targets X1 and rolls a 6: also 4 2.

Since this is a red maneuver, T3 skips its
action selection step instead of receiving a stress. Finally, T4 targets X1 and
rolls a 6. X1 is at Range 1 (45), so T4
performs a 1 6 and will barrel roll to get
X1 in arc. (fig.6).

T3 is the only TIE that can attack, and

fires on X2 at Range 3 with no results.
Desperate to even the odds, X2 fires at

T1 and rolls a natural ddd. T1 rolls
its defense and gets 1e - not enough!
T1 is destroyed. X2s player marks a TIE
Fighter kill on his player scoresheet, and
collects 2XP: 1 for dealing at least 1
damage this turn, and 1 for the kill (fig 7).
Turn 4. T2s nearest enemy is X2. It

rolls a 4 and performs a 3 2 (X2 is 45
behind and closing). Its a red maneuver,
so T2 skips its action.
T3 has X2 in arc. X2 is closing but at

Range 3, so T3 will roll on the green 45
table. A roll of 5 results in a 3 9 maneuver, followed by Focus (fig 8).
T4 has neither X-wing in arc, and both are
almost exactly the same distance apart. In
this case, it targets the ship that is closest
to being directly ahead of it: X1. X1 is fleeing at Range 2, so T4 rolls on the Green
45 table: a 2. T4 performs a 2 9 and
since it has X1 in arc now, it take a Focus.
26
The X-wings move. X2 performs a 19 and

collides with T3. X1 performs a 4 2 (fig 9).
Then, they take shots at the only target
they both have: T4. X2 fires first, rolling
d. T4 rolls ff to defend, and spends
its Focus token to prevent all damage,
even though this is a little inefficient.

Then X1 attacks T4, rolling ddc at

Range 3. T4 rolls just 1e on 4 dice. The
players assign it a damage token, then
draw a critical hit from the deck: Direct
Hit. Scratch another TIE! - this time X1s
player marks a kill and collects 2XP.
T2 is the only TIE Fighter with a shot, and

without a Focus token it fails to deal any
damage to X2 (fig 10).

They roll a six-sided die to see where it

assign it a #5 token. They also draw an
Imperial Pilot card (TIE Bomber type) and
tuck it under the Interceptors AI statcard. Now players set their maneuvers
and the mission resumes (fig 11).
Turn 5. If this were an actual Mission, it

is likely there would be another squad of
incoming enemy fighters by now. Checking this hypothetical Missions Squad
Composition table for a 2-player game,
the players see they must deploy a TIE
Bomber this round:
The Empire always has initiative in the

campaign, so the Pilot Skill 2 TIE Bomber
it will move and fire before Rebel ships of
the same pilot skill (the X-wings).
27
The Campaign Round

During each campaign round,
players perform these phases:
1. Assign Squad Leader
2. Mission Selection
3. Calculate Rebel Pilot Skill
4. Mission Setup
5. Equipment & Deployment
6. Play Mission
7. Modify Mission Deck
8. Upkeep
1. Assign Squad Leader

The player with the highest Pilot Skill is
declared Squad Leader. If there is a tie,
players may decide who is Squad Leader.
That player is automatically equipped
with ESquad Leader for the next
mission, for free. This ability does not
use one of that players E slots. This
Elite Pilot Talent cannot be purchased
or used by other ships.
2. Mission Selection Phase
The Squad Leader shuffles the Mission
Deck and draws two mission cards,
showing them to the other players.
The squad can decide which mission
they want to attempt and shuffle the
other mission card back into the deck.
28
3. Calculate Rebel Pilot Skill

Average the recorded Pilot Skill ratings of
all players (round down) to determine the
Rebel Pilot Skill level. This is used during
mission setup to determine which enemy
ships are included. For this calculation,
ignore abilities that modify Pilot Skill, such
as EVeteran Instincts.
4. Mission Setup Phase
Set up all ships and terrain following the
mission diagram and squad composition
table. See Mission Setup Diagrams, p30
for more details.Then, read aloud the
Mission Briefing and any mission special
rules. New Actions and Maneuvers, p40
has a list of new campaign special rules,
that are used in most missions.

5. Equipment & Deployment Phase

Each player chooses which upgrade
cards they will equip for this mission.
Then, players place their ships in the
missions starting area(s).
6. Play Mission Phase
As you play, each player should keep a
tally of the ships they destroy on their
player sheet, and use tokens to track
experience (XP) they earn during combat.
See Earning Experience, p42.
If mission objectives are numbered, they
must be accomplished in order. The
mission ends when a number of turns
equal to the missions limit have been
played, or there are no player ships in
play. See Mission Territory Types, p41,
the missions setup diagram and special
rules for details.
7. Modify Mission Deck Phase

Read aloud the Rebel or Imperial Victory
text and modify the mission deck.
A plus (+) replaces the current mission
with the one listed. Discard removes
the mission from the deck, ending that
mission arc. Reshuffle returns the card
to the deck to replay later.
8. Upkeep Phase
Any pilot that was shot down must make
an eject roll; see Ejecting, p41. If the players lose a mission, they can still gain XP
after resolving any Ejects and penalties.
Players cash in their XP tokens and
record the total (and any effects of ejecting) on their player scoresheet. Players
may spend their Experience Points to
purchase upgrades between missions.
See Spending Experience, p12.

Each campaign mission is designed to
scale based on the number of players
and their pilot skill, so that your squadron
can play even if somebody cant make it

AI (Enemy Logic)
The Artificial Intelligence column lists the
target priority of each enemy squadron.
Attack is the default on the AI ship cards,
but other types change how a ship behaves
and are described in mission special rules.
Player Scaling (1p 6p)
Use the contents of each column that is
less than or equal to the number of players in the current mission.
Some cells add ships (+), while some
cells upgrade existing ships (8). In a few
cases, cells also improve the stats of
ships (+2*). Coloured cells (8+F) with
numbers only apply if the average Pilot
Skill of the Rebel squad is at least as high
as the number.

Enemy Ship Types
Difficulty Level
The majority of missions include enemy

ships other than standard TIE Fighters.
These ships either have mission special
rules, or will require an Imperial Pilot
card. See Other Ships, p34 to complete
their setup.
The campaigns missions have been carefully balanced and extensively playtested
to a standard level of difficulty. However,
the nature of the squad compositions
player scaling can also be used to adjust
the games difficulty level.

If you are playing with kids, or prefer a

Dont Own Enough TIE Fighters?

Most missions in the game use 2-3
TIE Fighters per player. You can reuse
destroyed models for new ships, but you
may need more than 8 models for 5 and
6-player games. For every 2 standard
TIE Fighters you are short, substitute
1 other random type of TIE.
Dont Own Enough Specialty TIEs?
Some missions in the campaign use a
large number of specialty ships such
as TIE Phantoms or TIE Defenders.
If your player group doesnt collectively
own enough to field the required number,
substitute each missing model for a
random Imperial ship - simply draw an
Imperial Pilot card to determine the ship
type (as if the table entry is @).
This will reduce the number of enemy

ships and objectives, but it will also
reduce the total amount of Experience
Points the players can earn. This makes
a huge difference for 2-3 player games.
A Little Harder:
You can add 2 to your squads average
pilot skill. Interpreting the squad composition table this way will upgrade more
enemy TIE Fighters to better ship types
than usual, and Elite enemies will have
an additional ability.
A Lot Harder (1-5p only):
Treat the Imperial setup as if you have
an extra Rebel player. This often adds
an extra objective, two more TIEs, and
makes Elite enemies more resilient.
This difficulty boost is more severe for
squads of 2-3 players.
Be warned that adjusting the games
difficulty this way might make some
missions very hard to win, particularly
for low player counts.
33
Missions Imperial Ships

TIE Fighters
Other Ships
The majority of enemies in the Campaign

are standard TIE Fighters. Shown as F
in the Squad Composition table, they are
always considered to be Academy Pilots
from the standard game, and they never
have any upgrades or modifications.
Drawing Imperial Pilot Cards:

The procedure for drawing an Imperial
Pilot depends on the symbol listed in the
Squad Composition. The different types
of Imperial Pilots you may need are:
However, the Empire has many other ship

types in its arsenal, and these will require
you to draw an Imperial Pilot card.
Random Imperial Ship (@):

Draw an Imperial Pilot card. If there are
multiple ships of the same type in the
squad, only draw once; all ships in a
squad will use that card (they will all be
equipped with the same upgrades).
Large Ships (l):
Each enemy Squadron is limited to a
single large ship. If a squad has several
random ships, draw again for the others.
Specific Imperial Ship (I, etc):
Follow the procedure for a random ship
type above, but draw until you get a Pilot
of the required ship type.
Elite Enemies (E@, EI, etc):
Draw an Imperial Pilot card for these
ships as described above, for either a
random or specific ship type as required.
The only difference is that Elite enemies
use more of the abilities on the card.

Missions New Terrain

This campaign introduces several new
types of obstacles, to supplement the
Asteroids and Debris Fields from the
standard game:
Minefields
Clouds
Unlike other terrain types, Minefields

can be owned by a faction. The mission
setup diagram indicates who owns any
Minefields; opposing ships consider the
mines hostile for the effects below.
Concentrations of gasses that do little

to impede movement but limit effective
line-of-sight, some of the rules for clouds
depend upon the setting of each Mission.
Template or Ship Overlap:

Skip your perform action step. If the
minefield is hostile, it detonates: Roll 1
attack die for each of the Mines remaining hull points and suffer any d or c
results rolled, without a defense roll.
Remove detonated Minefields from play.
Line of Sight:
If the Attackers line of sight crosses a
Minefield, the Defender is obstructed and
gains an additional defense die.
Attacking Minefields:
Minefields have 3 hull and 1 agility. They
can be targeted and attacked as usual
but each critical hit counts as 2 damage.
remove destroyed minefields from play.
AI Logic: Swerve to avoid hostile Mines.
36
Template or Ship Overlap:

No effect. See Ion Storm variant, below.
Line of Sight:
If the Attackers line of sight crosses a
cloud, the Defender is obstructed and
gains an additional defense die. However,
clouds prevent all attacks at Range 3+.
AI Logic:
Do not swerve, even for Ion Storms.

Station Modules
Docking Bay Modules
Unlike other terrain types, Stations are

decorative - they only serve to maintain
the position of emplacements. However,
station modules interlock so that a
station or base and its emplacements
can scale with the number of players.
See Capture Refueling Station, p52
for an example layout.
Some missions require ships to deploy

from, or land in, Docking Bay modules.
Emplacements
These represent various
structures found on the
ground, on the surface of
stations, and occasionally
floating in space.
When used on a station, each square
area (highlighted on the above tile) can
have one emplacement. Emplacements
are not obstacles, so ships do not collide or interact with them, except that
they can be targeted, attacked, and
destroyed. The Emplacements Statcard
has the abilities and special rules of each
emplacement type.
Deploying AI ships:
Place ships in formation, with the
highest-numbered ship along the edge
of the docking bays entrance, as shown
in the formation diagram above. If ships
cant be placed because other ships are
in the way, just place them as close to
the above diagram as possible.
Landing:
To attempt to land in a Docking Bay, a
ship must reveal a non-red maneuver and
declare that it is attempting to land. If
the ships maneuver template overlaps
the bay entrance, the ship lands and is
removed from the play area.
If the ships base overlaps the docking
bay but the template does not, the ship
fails to land and immediately suffers 1
face-up damage card as a result.

Playing Co-operatively
38

A Few Modifications
X-wings roots as a 1v1 skirmish game
mean that players should make a few
adjustments to how they approach the
game when they play the Heroes of the
Aturi Cluster campaign co-operatively.
This page is optional; these are merely
suggestions based on playtesting.
Roleplaying & Atmosphere
Players are strongly encouraged to roleplay missions in character, and address
each other using callsigns. You can even
play Star Wars soundtracks in the background to complete the mood.
Maneuvers
Most players find it easier to coordinate
with their squad if they discuss their
maneuvers openly.
To further streamline things, maneuver
dials can be placed face-up beside ship
models so that all players can see their
intended moves. This can help low-Pilot
Skill pilots avoid maneuvering, Barrel
Rolling, or Boosting in front of their allies. This can also help prevent planning
mistakes, such as performing a red
maneuver while stressed.
Discussing Strategy
The best way to approach any mission
is usually to have a clear plan, at least
until Imperial reinforcements arrive to
mess things up. Strategic discussions
between players is encouraged, but the
Squad Leader should try and keep the
game moving, and should have the final
say if players cannot agree on an overall
course of action during a mission.
Gaming the AI
While it is possible to plan maneuvers by
referencing the AI statcards for nearby
ships and calculating the probability that
it will perform block or outfly you, this
slows down the game a lot.
It probably wont gain you much of an
advantage anyway. Most AI ships are
set up so that they make a predictable,
decent, maneuver choice about half the
time. The other half of the time, they will
do something else that will often mess
you up, or counter-counter your plans.
Attack Targets & Stealing Kills

Frequently, two players of the same Pilot
Skill will be able to attack the same target
and have a chance to kill it. Players should
agree on an attack order. Its recommended to let pilots with low Pilot Skill
and fewer XP get some kills - but if players cannot decide, they may randomly
determine who shoots first.
39
Playing Co-operatively Actions & Maneuvers

New Actions and Maneuvers
Many missions in this campaign have
objectives that require pilots to do things
other than destroy enemy ships. Some
missions grant players (and sometimes
enemies) new actions and maneuvers:
Protect
Action. Ships (Rebel and Imperial alike)
may be allowed to protect one or more
ships or emplacements during a mission.
To perform a protect action, a ship must
be within range 1 of the target and spend
an action to assign it an evade token.
There is no limit to the number of evade
tokens that can be assigned, but they
are removed during the End Phase.
Scan
Action. Some objectives require close
visual scrutiny. To perform a scan, a
player must be within Range 1 of the
target. The mission will detail the effect
of performing this action.
Dock
Maneuver. Some missions require ships
to dock with other ships or terrain and
transfer cargo. To Dock with a ship,
the docking ship must be touching the
target. To Dock with terrain, the ship
must overlap. During the next planning
phase, the ship may declare it is docking
and is not assigned a maneuver dial. This
turn, it does not move and has Agility 0,
because cargo or passengers are being
transferred and it is stationary. A ship
may undock and resume normal movement by assigning a maneuver dial during
the following planning phase.
40
Jump to Hyperspace
Maneuver. Unless mission special rules
prevent it, a ship may flee the mission
area by jumping to hyperspace.
To prepare to jump to hyperspace, a ship
must perform a green maneuver and
announce it is powering its hyperdrive.
Assign it a hyperdrive token (use a tracking token from the X-wing core set or
other suitable token. Energy tokens from
huge ship sets work well). This is not an
action; perform an action as usual.
When the ship activates during the combat phase, instead of attacking, it must
make a hyperspace roll:
Roll 2 attack dice and add 1 d result for
each hyperdrive token. If the roll totals 3
d hits (including critical hits), The jump
is successful and the ship is immediately
removed from play. The hyperspace roll
can be only be modified by focus tokens.
If the ship fails to complete the jump this
turn, leave the hyperdrive token beside
the ship. If a ship with a hyperdrive token
performs a non-green maneuver or
elects not to continue jump preparation,
remove all hyperdrive tokens.

Mission Territory Types

Each mission in this campaign has one of
three territory types: Friendly, Neutral, or
Hostile, which generally represents how
dangerous a mission is for the players.
A missions territory type will affect the

results of eject rolls, which board edges
may be used to retreat, and what happens to Rebel ships that are still in play
when the turn limit has been reached.

Automatically retreat
Escape Edges
The setup diagram for each mission
will designate any escape edges. After
executing a maneuver that causes part
of the ships base to leave the play area
along the escape edge, the ship flees
and is immediately removed from play.
No Survivors
Your squadron is the Rebellions last hope
to secure the Aturi Cluster. If all players
are shot down during a mission, they are
captured by the Empire and considered
killed. Any campaign in progress is lost
and the Empire gains control of the Aturi
Cluster unopposed.
Rebels are destroyed
Ejecting
When a player is shot down, they must
make an eject roll to determine the
condition of their pilot. Using a number
of attack dice based on the missions
territory type (see above), roll the dice
pool and suffer the result of each die:

Playing Co-operatively Earning Experience

Earning Experience
Experience Points (XP) are primarily
earned for kills and mission objectives.
As you play a mission, keep track of any
experience you earn using tokens.
During the Combat Phase, each turn:
+XP
Deal at least 1 damage to one or more enemy ships
1XP

Recording Experience Points

Experience points earned are not written
on a players sheet until the Mission
Resolution Phase, when the mission
is complete and the pilot has returned
to base. This is because the total XP
earned can be affected by both the
mission primary and bonus objectives,
and the results of any Eject rolls.
Once recorded, XP are banked and
cannot be lost due to penalties from
future missions or Eject rolls.
Earning XP for non-kills:
Sometimes the players are not directly
responsible for destroying an enemy ship.
This can happen due to game effects
such as asteroid collisions, leaving the
board without fleeing, and the effects of
some critical hits, such as Console Fire.
42
In this case, the last player to damage

the ship scores points for the kill. If no
one ever damaged it, no one scores XP.

Assists
Pilots are awarded bonus Experience
Points for supporting each other in a
variety of situations, and encouraging
teamwork. However, points are only
awarded for situations where the bonus
was useful. Apply the definitions below:
Kill-Assist Examples
Guardian Examples
Target Lock & Focus

You assign an ally a Target Lock or
Focus token, or you grant a free action
that is used to Focus or Target Lock.
If an ally uses your Focus or Target Lock
to add at least one hit when they destroy
an enemy ship, you score an assist.
Focus & Evade

You assign an ally a Focus or Evade
token, or you grant a free action that is
used to Focus or Evade. If an ally uses
your Focus or Evade token to prevent
at least 1 damage when attacked, you
score an assist.
Barrel Roll & Boost

You grant an ally a free action that is
used for Barrel Roll or Boost. If this
positions them to attack and destroy a
target, you score an assist.
Barrel Roll & Boost

You grant an ally a free action that is
used for Barrel Roll or Boost. If this
positions them so that an enemy ship
that would have attacked them no longer
has any attack targets, you score an
assist. Note that most of the time this
will only be possible to track when it
involves enemies with low pilot skill.
Using a Pilot Ability

Some of the pilot abilities (including Roark
Garnet and Etahn Abaht) listed under
Rebel Pilot Abilities, p14 have other
conditions listed that can provide assists.

Rebel Operative Setup:

The Operatives are represented by a
Rebel Operative (HWK-290, Pilot Skill 2)
with no upgrades. Due to severe damage
from their Imperial entanglement, they
are unable to attack. The ship begins the
mission with the Damaged Sensor Array
critical hit, and a total number of shields
equal to the number of players.
The players decide as a team how to plan
the HWKs dial each round, and the ship
may perform actions as normal if it fixes
the Damaged Sensor Array critical hit.
Escaping:
After executing a maneuver, the HWK
immediately escapes if all or part of its
base is off the play area along the
Player setup/escape edge (area B).

Assault Ship:
The Assault Ship is represented by an
Outer Rim Smuggler (PS1), with 1 extra
shield * per player. The players decide
as a team how to plan this ships dial
each round, and the ship may perform
actions and attacks as normal. Players
do not gain any XP for enemy ships
destroyed by the Assault Ship, but may
use the Protect action on it.
Capturing the Station:

The commandos must reach the center
tile. Then, they must succeed at their
movement roll to enter the Command
Centre and capture the station. Any
remaining Turbolaser emplacements are
now under Rebel control: Players may
choose their facing and attack targets for
the rest of the mission. If the Command
Centre is destroyed, the Rebels Lose.
Unloading the Commando Team:

The Assault Ship must land in one of the
stations Docking Bays. At the end of the
round the Assault ship has landed, place
a Tracking token on the Docking Bay tile
to represent the commando team.
If the Rebels have control of the station

at the end of Turn 12, the mission is
no longer considered hostile territory
and the Imperials retreat. Otherwise,
all Rebel ships in play are destroyed.
The players may choose to deploy the

Assault ship from that docking bay at
the start of any following round.

Minefield Setup:
During setup, place 3 minefield tokens
per player. Each minefield token must
be just beyond Range 1 (or as close as
possible to Range 1) from two other
minefield tokens, and Range 1 or further
from the edge of the mission area.
These minefield tokens are hostile, and
will detonate if overlapped by Rebel ships.

Minelayer Squad:
Each TIE Bomber in the Minelayer squad
uses the standard Attack AI, but is also
loaded with additional mines to fill gaps in
the minefield.
Each time a minefield is destroyed or
detonated by the players, set that token
aside. On the next turn, the lowest-numbered TIE Bomber in the squad that can
perform an action will attempt to replace
a previously-destroyed minefield.
Use the rules for Proximity Mines, with
the following exception: The placement of
this new minefield token must be within
range 2 of any other minefield in play, but
must not overlap a ship or minefield. If a
TIE Bomber cannot lay a mine, the next
Bomber in a squad will lay one instead.
If there are no mines to replace, or if no
bomber can legally deploy one, then no
replacement minefield is deployed.
Destroyed Minefield Tokens:

Pilots gain 1XP for destroying a minefield
token. If a player detonates a minefield by
overlapping it, do not gain any XP.

Mission Briefing:
Weve just received an
urgent message from one of
our incoming GR75 supply
transports - the Quantum
Storm! They dropped out of
hyperspace in the middle of an
uncharted Imperial minefield
and are unable to escape!
The Empire has dispatched

a Decimator-class task force
to capture the Transport.
We cant afford to lose the ship
or its supplies - they are are
desperately needed on Sullust!
Scramble, pilots!

Rebel Transport Setup:

Struck by multiple mines, the Transport
needs time to repair its hyperdrive. The
ship begins with 0 energy, and gains 1
energy instead of moving. Players may
choose to either perform an action for
the transport, or roll a die: on a focus
result, it gains an additional 1 energy.
When the Transport has 7 energy, it
must jump to hyperspace at the end of
the combat phase.
Decimator Stats & Equipment:
The Decimator is represented by an
Patrol Commander (PS3) with:
m Anti-Pursuit Lasers
If Rebel PS is 4, +E Determination
If Rebel PS is 6, +W Mara Jade
If Rebel PS is 8, +W Gunner
Decimator AI:
While the transport is in play, the
Decimator only uses the forward green
band of its AI chart (28, 38, 48). If it
begins its movement touching the
transport, it docks instead to capture
the ship with a boarding party. If this
happens, the the Rebels lose.
Enemy Attack AI:

The Empire wants to capture the
Transport; these ships ignore it.
Gamma Squad (Strike AI):
Do not draw an Imperial Pilot card for
these TIE Bombers. Instead, each bomber is equipped with an Ion Pulse Missile.
These ships will prioritize the transport
but will only attack it with their missiles,
and they may fire them at Range 1-3.
A successful Ion Missile hit removes 2
energy from the Transport instead of applying Ion Tokens. Once their missiles are
launched, the bombers change to Flee AI
(p19) and escape from the nearest edge.

They will only use their Proton Torpedoes
when attacking the transport.
Enemy Attacks vs. Huge Ships

Enemy ships that can attack a section
of the transport that does not have a
Reinforce token will prioritize attacking
the transport, even if there are closer
Rebel ships.
Overlapping with Huge Ships:
If a Huge ship destroys an AI ship by
overlapping it, it will suffer damage to the
section that overlapped. Roll an attack
die. On a c result, suffer 1 face-up
damage card. On any other result, suffer
1 damage card.

Imperial Ace Setup:

Each player draws a TIE Interceptor
card from the deck and tucks it under
their player statcard. Each player should
position the Interceptor card so that the
visible rows match their own pilot skill:
For example, a player with Pilot Skill 4 will
tuck the Interceptor card so that all of

(PS2) with the following upgrades:
W Flight Instructor
S Sensor Jammer
m Anti-Pursuit Lasers
In addition, the shuttle gains extra shields
based on the number of playerssee above
Disabling the Shuttle:
The shuttle is disabled immediately when
it has 1-3 hull remaining. However, if
the shuttle is reduced to 0 hull, it is still
destroyed as usual and the Rebels fail
the mission. The player that disables the
shuttle gains 3XP.
Once the shuttle is disabled, it no longer
moves. Remaining enemy ships also
change priority from Escort to Attack. If
there are no enemy ships in play at the
end of a combat phase, reinforcements
will not arrive and the mission is over.
Shuttle AI:
The Lambda Shuttle will engage and
attack the nearest target as usual. Once
the shuttle has suffered 5 shield damage, it will change tactics and attempt
to flee via the Imperial Escape Edge (B).
Treat that edge as its priority target for
movement, and always use the shuttles
maximum speed for the selected bearing.
Escort AI:
Escort-type enemy ships have modified
action priority. After moving, if they are
within range 1 of the shuttle, they will
perform the Protect action to assign it

AI Search & Rescue (all ships):

While there are no Rebel ships in play,

AI Discovering the Trap (all ships):
The first time an enemy ship ends its
maneuver within Range 1 of the crippled
shuttle, it will perform a scan action for
lifesigns. Then, all enemy ships revert to
their AI priority listed in the table.
AI Fleeing Enemies:
These ships treat Edge A as their target,
and will attempt to fly off that edge of the
board. They always use the fastest speed
available for the bearing chosen. They will
still attack Rebels ships if able.

Landed Cargo Shuttles:

These ships are placed during setup but
begin the game landed (you can show
this by folding up the shuttles wings and
removing the flight pegs from its base).
While landed, ships do not activate,
attack, interfere with movement, or roll
defense dice when attacked.
Cargo Shuttle Takeoff/AI:
At the start of Turn 3, any cargo shuttles
in play will take off. Each cargo shuttle
has the Flee AI - treat Edge C as their
target, and attempt to fly off that edge of
the board. They always use the fastest
speed available for the bearing chosen.
They will still attack Rebels ships if able.
Hazardous Cargo:
The Rebels do not know the contents of
the various cargo containers, but some
contain explosive munitions.
Each time a cargo emplacement is
destroyed, roll 1 attack die. On a Critical
c result, all ships at Range 1 of the
emplacement suffer 1 face-up damage
card, and other emplacements at Range
1 suffer 2 damage. On any other result,
there is no effect.
Ground Mission:
Ships cannot jump to hyperspace within
the moons gravity field. To escape the
mission area, players must escape from
any board edge (other than edge C) by
the end of Turn 12.
A player gains an additional 1XP for

destroying a Cargo emplacement.

Mission Briefing:
Several weeks ago, a Rebel
spy was assigned to a new
squadron of Imperial fighters,
and has been sending us intelligence on their performance.

Shes been masking her

transmissions by routing them
through the Empires holonet
receiver in the Parein system,
but we now fear she may be
discovered.
Escort our slicer techs out to
the holonet receiver and protect them while they configure
a more secure communication
channel for our spy.
We must continue to get this
valuable intelligence!

Mission Objectives
Primary:

1) Disable Satellite relays and Sensor Array Emplacements to
identify the holonet channel one used by the Rebel Spy.
2) The Slicer Techs must secure the identified channel.
3) The Slicer Techs must escape by jumping to hyperspace.
Penalty:
For each satellite relay that was destroyed, all players lose 1XP
Bonus:
The pilot who performs the most protect actions on the Slicer Techs
HWK gains 2XP. If tied, all tied players gain 1XP.
Thanks to our Slicer Techs,

the spys transmissions are
now secure. We should have
more intel for you shortly.

and are considered disabled when they

have 1 hull left, or gain an Ion token.
Earn 1XP for disabling a channel, then
draw a number and assign it to mark
that channel as disabled. If 12 is drawn,
mark the channel with a critical hit token
instead and return the 12 to the bag: the
spys holonet channel has been identified.
From now on, if 12 is drawn for any
other disabled channel, draw and assign
that channel another number instead,
returning the 12 to the bag.
(Accidentally) Destroying Channels:
Each time a channel is destroyed, draw
a number and remove it. The mission is
a failure if the 12 is removed, even if the
channel has been identified elsewhere.
Holonet Relay Setup:

During setup, put the number tokens
10-12 into the draw bag. Add one other
number token for each player.
Inspection Squad (Strike Priority):

Once the communications channel has
been identified, the Inspection Squad
arrives at the start of the following Turn.
These ships will prioritize the Slicer Techs,
but will attack other Rebel ships if they
cannot attack the HWK.
Disabling Relays & Emplacements:

Satellite Relay: 2^ Agility, 3& Hull.
Sensor Array: 0^ Agility, 5& Hull.
Both are considered channels for the
holonet receiver. They can be attacked
Securing the Holonet Channel:

The Slicer Techs must perform a Scan
action on the marked channel to draw:
If 12 is drawn, the channel is secure.
Otherwise, return the number to the bag.

Defector
Defection, Part II

Mission Briefing:
One of the test pilots for the
Empires new space superiority
fighter, the TIE Defender, is a
Rebel sympathizer. Shes been
in contact with our operatives
and wishes to defect with
a stolen prototype.
The best opportunity for us to

help her escape intact will be
during her squadrons training
exercises in the Parein system.
Well jump in, make contact
and provide cover while she
escapes. However, she wont
know were here to cover her,
and we wont know which of
the prototypes is hers, until
we can make visual contact.

B - Asteroids x6 (random layout)
Range >2 from edges. Range >1 apart
Mission Objectives
Primary:
Help the Defector Escape:

1) Make contact with the Defector.
2) The Defector jumps to hyperspace while there is at least one
Rebel ship still in play.
Reward: each player gains a free m,M or C upgrade.
Bonus:
Each pilot that scans a TIE Defender gains 1XP
Bonus:
The pilot who performs the most protect actions on the Defectors
ship (once allied) gains 2XP. If tied, all tied players gain 1XP.
Weve captured a TIE

Defender! We may be able to
adapt some of this ships

Defector Setup:
During setup, put a number token for each
TIE Defender in the Prototype squadron
into the draw bag. Start with number 1
and add a number for each additional
ship (numbers 1-4 for 6p).
Making Contact the Defector:
Before the Defector can switch sides,
the Rebels must identify her ship by
transmitting a short-range coded
message confirming their rescue plans.
To transmit the message, any Rebel ship
may perform the Scan action on a TIE
Defender at Range 1. Then, pull a number token from the bag. If the number 1
is drawn, this TIE Defender is the Defector. If any other number is drawn, assign
it to that TIE Defender; TIE Defenders
with number tokens cannot be scanned.
Defecting:
Once the Defector has been identified,
she immediately joins the Rebels and
players may choose her attack targets.
At the start of the following turn, the
players may plan the Defectors dial and
actions collectively.
Rebel players may also use the Protect
action on the Defector once she is an ally.
Prototype Squad AI:
Once the Defector has changed sides,
other Elite enemy ships in the Prototype
squad change their target priority to
Strike, with the Defector as their target

Mission Briefing:
According to intel from the
Imperial Defector, pilot candidates for the rest of the new
TIE Defenders are nearing the
completion of their training
program. Today, the squadron
is conducting combat exercises
at a secret location in Imperialcontrolled space, but our spies
have provided us with the
coordinates.

their training program.

Mission Objectives

Cripple Training Squadrons:

Rebels must destroy all ships in at least 3 enemy squadrons.
Reward: For each enemy squadron that is completely destroyed, all
players gain 1XP.
Bonus:
If all TIE Defenders are destroyed, remove all TIE Defender cards
from the Imperial Pilot deck.
Some of the Empires most

promising new pilots were lost
today. If only they could have
joined the Rebellion instead.

This was our only chance to

cripple the training program.
Now, the Empire will continue
in another secret location
and you can bet we wont find
them a second time.

Quality Education:
Among the best in the sector, the

within Range 1 of the shuttle rolls dice, it
may convert all focus results to successes (hits or evades), as if it always has a
focus token.
