GALACTIC EMPIRE
The Empire have a large supply of ships to bring to combat ranging from tank-y starfighters, agile hunters, and utilitarian effect ships to large ships capable of taking hits and dishing out an arsenal of different attacks. This list is ongoing and will be updated as new ships are announced and available and is intended to showcase the different types of ships available for this faction, not necessarily full reviews of each ship and their pilots and upgrade cards.
Tie Fighter
Relying on speed and strength in numbers to overcome their enemies, TIE fighters have only a pair of laser cannons and lack shields of any kind, yet their dexterity makes them dangerous opponents. The TIE Fighter Expansion Pack for the X-Wing Miniatures Game includes one stunning miniature, plus its necessary cards, tokens, and dial. Also included are six pilots, like the crafty Imperial pilot “Backstabber,” one of Darth Vader’s wingmen in the Battle of Yavin.
Tie Advanced
The legendary and merciless Darth Vader blasts into furious combat, along with three additional Imperial pilots, in the TIE Advanced Expansion Pack for the X-Wing Miniatures Game. A noted improvement on the widely used TIE fighter, this fighter features shielding and improved weapon systems. Upgrade the fierce TIE Advanced with powerful cluster or concussion missiles, and demolish even the toughest enemies. This pack includes one detailed painted miniature, its necessary cards and tokens, and one dial.
Tie Interceptor
Imperial players can add a lethal starfighter to their X-Wing™ squadrons with the TIE Interceptor™ Expansion Pack. The finest mass-produced starfighter of its time, the TIE interceptor excels at dogfighting thanks to its heightened maneuverability, increased speed, and four wing-mounted laser cannons. With its detailed miniature, two upgrades, and six skillful new pilots that include the renowned Soontir Fel, the TIE Interceptor Expansion Pack creates exciting opportunities for all Imperial X-Wing players!
Tie Bomber
While not as agile or fast as other TIE variants, the TIE bomber is capable of delivering an astonishing payload, and the TIE Bomber Expansion Pack carries enough firepower to destroy virtually any enemy target. Each TIE bomber is capable of carrying two torpedoes, two missiles, and one bomb. Accordingly, the expansion’s five upgrade cards present you with a wide array of armaments, including the punishing Proton Bombs. You’ll also find a striking miniature, a maneuver dial, all necessary tokens, and four talented new pilots.
Tie Defender
The TIE Defender Expansion Pack for X-Wing™ introduces a powerful, straight-forward Imperial fighter with strong shields, weapons, agility, and a maneuver never before seen on a dial. The TIE defender miniature comes meticulously sculpted and pre-painted at 1/270 scale, along with four ship cards, one maneuver dial, all the tokens you need, and five upgrade cards, which include a pair of elite talents certain to make your elite TIE Defender pilot a truly fearsome Predator throughout the game’s tensest dogfights.
Tie Phantom
With its stygium crystal cloaking device, deflector shields, and hyperdrive, the TIE Phantom is one of the most menacing starfighters in the galaxy! The TIE Phantom Expansion Pack for X-Wing™ brings this fearsome fighter to life with a pre-painted miniature carefully sculpted at 1/270 scale and new rules for cloaking. Imperial players will be able to further customize their Phantoms with four ship cards, new modifications, and system and crew upgrades. The Rebellion will never know what to expect!
VT-49 Decimator
The VT-49 Decimator is one of the Empire’s most feared warships, often used to provide long-range reconnaissance or deploy raiding parties behind enemy forces. The VT-49 Decimator Expansion Pack brings this intimidating Imperial gunboat to X-Wing™ as a hulking, large-base ship that towers over smaller starfighters. One detailed and pre-painted VT-49 Decimator miniature comes with four ship cards and thirteen upgrade cards, including crew members like Mara Jade. You’ll also find a new mission, three obstacle tokens, a maneuver dial, and all requisite tokens.
Tie Punisher
A beefier version of the TIE bomber, the TIE punisher built upon that starfighter’s success by adding shielding, a second bomb chute, and three additional ordnance pods, each equipped with a twin ion engine. It arrives to X-Wing™ as a devastating Imperial starship in the TIE Punisher Expansion Pack, accompanied by four ship cards and a punishing array of nine explosive upgrades, with which you can obliterate your enemies. In addition to boasting a slightly larger payload than the TIE bomber, the TIE punisher invites Imperial players to perfect their bombing skills by taking advantage of both its innate boost action and its ability to equip a system upgrade like Advanced Sensors. With Advanced Sensors, the TIE punisher can boost into position to drop a bomb right in front of an enemy fighter, and then it can immediately perform its maneuver to fly away.
LAMBDA-Class Shuttle
Noted for its tri-wing design, the Lambda-class shuttle served a critical role as a light utility craft in the Imperial Navy. Now you can use this utilitarian ship to strengthen your Imperial squad for X-Wing! The Lambda–class Shuttle Expansion Pack includes one large-base Lambda-class shuttle miniature at 1/270 scale, its maneuver dial, all necessary tokens, four ship cards, and a whopping twelve upgrades, which afford Imperial players an astonishing level of customization and control of their squads.
Slave-1 / Firespray 31
Originally intended as a prisoner transport, the Firespray-31 gained notoriety through association with some of the galaxy’s most fearsome pirates and bounty hunters, including the infamous Boba Fett. The Slave I™ Expansion Pack for X-Wing™ allows players to take advantage of the Firespray’s versatile armament and heavy armor plating, as well as a host of deadly new upgrades. Slave I comes with a detailed miniature, four pilot cards, twelve upgrades, and all requisite tokens. New rules and a new mission further expand your games of X-Wing!
Imperial Aces
Fly your TIE with pride! Imperial Aces features two TIE interceptor miniatures with alternate paint schemes that allow you to wage your X-Wing dogfights while representing either or both of two of the Empire’s most recognizable TIE units: the 181st Imperial Fighter Wing and the Emperor’s Royal Guard. The expansion also introduces several highly skilled new pilots, a dozen upgrade cards, and all the tokens and maneuver dials you need to field these ships, as well as a new mission in which the Empire seeks to utilize new, experimental technology in a high-intensity clash with Rebel pilots.
Tie Inquisitor (Not Yet Released)
Personally tasked by Darth Vader to eliminate any surviving Jedi Knights, the Inquisitor had access to the Empire’s most advanced technologies, including the TIE Advanced prototype, a groundbreaking improvement over the TIE fighter designs of its time. In X-Wing™, this lethal starfighter appears as a carefully detailed and pre-painted miniature at 1/270 scale, along with four ship cards, including one for the Inquisitor himself. Additionally, the Inquisitor's TIE Expansion Pack contains five upgrades, a maneuver dial, and all the tokens you need to launch into space and pursue your foes through the stars!
EPIC PLAY SHIPS
These are the current ships that are designed for Epic Play. Epic Play is an alternative game using the same X-Wing Miniatures Models/cards/pilots but brings in the huge fleet ships. This style of play requires double the normal game size play area and larger point games. These are on a different scale than the normal X-Wing models line but do a very good representation and ads a lot of great cinematic excitement to your games.
Imperial Raider
Explore epic new chapters in the Galactic Civil War with the Imperial Raider Expansion Pack for X-Wing™! The Empire gains a powerful counter to the Rebellion’s huge ships with one huge, pre-painted Imperial Raider-class corvette and a new TIE Advanced miniature that features an alternate paint scheme. With rules for “energy” to fuel your shields and abilities, plus a maneuver template that gives your Raider the feel of a truly huge ship, the Imperial Raider Expansion Pack is a tremendously valuable tool for all those looking to crush the Rebellion in Cinematic and Epic Play!
Imperial Assault Carrier (Not Yet Released)
Pursue the Rebellion's subversive agents across the galaxy with the Imperial Assault Carrier Expansion Pack for X-Wing™! Designed for use within the game’s Cinematic Play and Epic Play formats, the Imperial Assault Carrier Expansion Pack’s pre-painted Gozanti-class cruiser miniature comes accompanied by two TIE fighter escorts, eleven ship cards, and twenty-six upgrades. Additionally, the expansion includes a set of four new missions for Cinematic Play that follow a Gozanti charged with intercepting and destroying agents of the Rebel Alliance.
