A crashed pod? Translator and astromech ‘droids? What possible difference could they make on the battlefield? We’re doomed! Actually, they can add a lot to a Star Wars: Legion game. FFG previews the Crashed Escape Pod Battlefield Expansion for Star Wars: Legion.
“What a desolate place this is.”
–C-3PO, Star Wars: A New HopeDespite not being designed for combat, R2-D2 and C-3PO have a surprising amount of experience on the battlefield. From Geonosis to Endor, these droids have played a critical role in key battles for both the Galactic Republic and the Rebel Alliance.
Of everything they’ve done to alter galactic history, though, perhaps nothing was greater than the heroic delivery of the Death Star plans to the Rebels on Yavin 4.
Carrying this vital intelligence across Tatooine and into the depths of the Death Star itself, the droids went on a journey that changed the fate of the Star Wars™ galaxy forever. Soon, you’ll be able to capture the excitement of this adventure with the Crashed Escape Pod Battlefield Expansion for Star Wars™: Legion!
In addition to letting you add these iconic droids to your Rebel Alliance or Galactic Republic armies, this expansion places R2-D2, C-3PO, and their crashed escape pod at the center of two unique scenarios that challenge you to secure the droids before your opponent. To do so, six new battle cards outline your objectives, deployment zones, and conditions for these missions.
