One if slightly more defensive, focusing on hitting things at long range, and the other is marginally better as closer ranges. Like all of the Armada models, it’s statted with two modes. For a carrier, it’s pretty nippy and you have to be utterly rubbish at Armada to accidentally fly it off the table. Rules-wise, it’s a mid-range ship specialising in squadron support. Most Imperial ships look amazing on the table but this giant grey Trivial Pursuit wedge just begs to be modified with lights and the like. It’s a giant floating hangar which looks visually striking. So far it’s only been seen in Star Wars Rebels, but it’s almost certainly going to turn up in the movies at some point. The Imperial Light Carrier expansion for Armada contains one Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carrier.įor those of you who didn’t get your Star Wars ships spotting badge, that’s the very triangular looking grey ship with the hangar that poops out TIE Fighters. Just like the movies, the bad guys have the most eye-catching ships, and also the most terrifying weapons.
Fans of Fantasy Flight’s capital ship combat game Star Wars: Armada are well aware of the flaws of playing the Imperial side.
