More tantalisingly, among the expansion pack’s seven upgrade cards of additional crew, fleet commands, and titles, is the infamous Admiral – later Grand Moff – Tarkin, of Imperial, Alderaan-destroying fame. The Pelta-class Frigate can be played as a combat transport or medical evacuation frigate, using its two ship cards. With it come 16 upgrade cards that offer new offensive and defensive enhancements to customise your fleet, and two venerable commanders, including Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, who draws upon her Jedi wisdom to provide defensive ship buffs.Įlsewhere on the frontlines of the Republic Navy, the small but mighty Pelta-class Frigate Expansion Pack provides a hardy support ship. The Venator-class Star Destroyer is a key ship within the Republic Navy, capable of heavy bombardments and deploying squadrons of starfighters to break enemy lines. The new Republic ships are the Venator-class Star Destroyer and the Pelta-class Frigate, while Separatist players get the Providence-class Dreadnought (also playable as General Grievous’ flagship, the Invisible Hand), and the Recusant-class Destroyer. The Republic and Separatist forces will each get two new ships, packaged with the usual complement of commanders and fleet upgrade cards. Star Wars: Armada is going back to the Clone Wars, with four new expansion packs of prequel-era ships coming out on April 16.
