Here’s what they have to say about the new box:
Your players can begin building their Rebel armies making their stand against the Empire with this pack for Star Wars: Legion!

Featuring four units of Rebel Veterans, two units of Tauntaun Riders, and a 1.4 FD Laser Cannon Team all led by Rebel hero Leia Organa accompanied by Chewbacca, R2-D2 and C-3PO, this pack gives players a stout force to hold off any opponent.
