The First Orders joins together some of the most notorious TIE Fighter squadrons: Epsilon and Omega. See how they form a newer, more deadly squadron!

Epsilon Leader TIE Fighter

The First Order is reporting in with a squadron comprised of pilots from Epsilon and Omega squads. Epsilon Leader will be in command and he can help his squad mates stay in formation. At the start of the combat phase Epsilon Leader may remove 1 stress token from each friendly ship at range 1. This helps open up their maneuver dials after some red maneuvers or action chaining.

HYperware Comm Scanner

Epsilon Leader is also packing a Hyperwave Comm Scanner. This tech upgrade allows him to deploy at pilot skill 0, 6, or 12, but can also allow him to assign 1 focus or evade token to another friendly ship ifit is deployed at range 1-2 of him. This can set your Other Fighters up for success by starting them off with tokens. Omega Squadron Pilot TIE Fighter

Omega Squadron Pilots are very versatile, both with their maneuver and upgrade options. Being at PS 4, they can out activate lesser ships, but their strength lies in being able to equip Elite  and tech upgrades. Push the Limit

Push the Limit will fit very nicely on these 2 Omega Squadron Pilots. Not only will this allow them to get extra actions, but It will also be of great benefit when Epsilon Leader removes the stress token that comes along with Push the Limit. These TIE/fo fighters will have all the tokens they will ever need. Advanced Optics

Advanced Optics will fit brilliantly on the Omega Squadron Pilots. This tech upgrade allows the Omegas to keep unspent focus tokens for their next rounds.The Hyperwave Comm Scanner can enable this at deployment, and Push the Limit can help them get even further action advantage, all while Epsilon Leader helps them shed stress.
