In the U-wing Expansion Pack, X-Wing fans will find not only a new large-base Rebel ship, but a whole collection of remarkable pilots and crew members that evoke the Rebel spirit.

Four ship cards and fourteen upgrades introduce versions of Jyn Erso , Cassian Andor , plus several other notable characters from Rogue One.

Since the U-wing is a transport ship, you will find it outfitted with two crew slots. There is also a maneuver dial designed to carry these new characters into the best possible position to make a difference.

Systems and torpedo upgrade slots further add to the ship’s versatility.  A Pivot Wing Title, a dual-sided upgrade, can greatly enhance either the ship’s maneuverability or effectiveness in combat.

Although it can function in space, the TIE striker was designed primarily for use in atmosphere. It features a sleek profile with an extended cockpit and advanced high-speed wings.

In X-Wing, these wings continue to set the TIE striker apart from other TIEs. They help translate the TIE striker’s speed and power to the pre-painted miniature from the TIE Striker Expansion Pack. More importantly, they allow your TIE striker pilots to make lightning-quick adjustments to their maneuvers.

What new tactics will the ships present to the meta game for Star Wars X-Wing?
