The Imperial Light Cruiser is a new ship in the making for Star Wars: Armada from Fantasy Flight Games. Come check out the preview of the latest ship.

Fantasy Flight Games just put out their preview of the new Imperial Light Cruiser for Star Wars Armada.

Here’s our take on it!

Built for flanking, the new Imperial Light Cruiser is an agile ship that shouldn’t be taken lightly. With strong side arcs you can cover a wide area in firing arcs. A simple formation could have a ship in the front arc of an ISD, and two Imperial Light Cruisers on either side to chip away from a distance.

It’s a great all around small ship with wide side arcs, red dice, 4 upgrade slots, and an evade token. There are a bunch of combinations that can be ran to add to the survivability value of this ship. dual-turbolaser-turrets

Dual Turbolaser Turrets is a great card because what it allows you to do is change a blank to a red die, facing the die however you want. Can you say double damage?

minister-tua

With Minister Tua you can bring an extra defense retrofit upgrade allowing you to bring ECM and Advanced Projectors. The defense value of this ship just went through the roof, why would you not want this in your Imperial fleet?

I’m already building a list to find a way to work 2 of these into a 4 ship list, something tells me it might pay off. Please leave thoughts and comments below, I’d be really interested to hearing what you have to say.

Pro Tip: Bruh! Stay Stealth!!
