“Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son.” –Darth Vader, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
It has been nineteen years since the fall of the old Republic and the proclamation of the Empire. Within that time, freedom has been crushed and hope extinguished in countless star systems—with more falling under the Empire’s sway with every passing day.
Yet this new order has also brought order, stability, and from a certain point of view, peace. In Star Wars™: Legion, the new miniatures game of epic conflicts on the planets of the Star Wars galaxy, you can choose to take up the mantle of the monolithic Galactic Empire, commanding the massive resources of an entire galaxy in order to smash the Rebels underneath your heel.
In our past preview articles, we’ve explored every aspect of the gameplay of Star Wars: Legion, including issuing your orders, moving your units, engaging in combat, and determining the battlefield conditions at the beginning of the game. Today, we turn our attention to the forces of the Galactic Empire that you may choose to command in your battles for the fate of the galaxy!
