It is an exciting time to be a fan of Star Wars™: Armada!
The game’s first two waves of expansions have added tremendous diversity, size, and scope to its battles. Now your battlefields are filled by a multitude of iconic ships and fighter squadrons, and even more lie in reserve, ready to be called into battle with the upcoming releases of Waves III and Wave IV.
They may be small, but the flotillas from the Imperial Assault Carriers Expansion Pack and Rebel Transports Expansion Pack permit an astonishing array of interesting new strategic possibilities. Meanwhile, the ships and upgrades from the Interdictor Expansion Pack and Liberty Expansion Pack encourage some dramatically new playstyles at which we hinted in our Wave IV announcement and which we will explore further in our upcoming previews.
Excited by these possibilities, fans everywhere have been sharing their favorite fleet designs. Now we encourage you to share them directly with us as part of a new way to enjoy Armada and its epic space battles…
You will soon be able to submit your favorite fleet to us as part of the Star Wars: Armada Fleet Commander Contest. And you might even win early copies of the upcoming expansion packs!
Watch for our previews of the Interdictor Expansion Pack and Liberty Expansion Pack. These will provide you all the information you need to design your fleet. Then, once we post our preview of the Liberty Expansion Pack, we will invite you to head to our Armada Fleet Commander Contest entry form where you can submit your favorite new fleet. We will accept entries until Tuesday, July 5th at 10 AM (CST). Your fleet may include any number of Core Set, Wave I, Wave II, Wave III, and Wave IV components, per standard fleet-building rules, up to the maximum of 400 fleet points. Your fleet must include at least one flotilla and at least one Wave IV ship, and it must also include your choice of three objectives. Each participant may only submit one entry.
After we have received your entries, our team of developers will select their favorite fleet designs (two Imperial and two Rebel Alliance). We will share the winning lists and ask you to vote for your favorite via Twitter. Once you have seeded the entrants, our designers will play these fleets against each other in a single-elimination, in-house tournament, using all standard tournament rules. Throughout the event, we will share the result, including the developers’ take on each match’s key plays.
Meanwhile, even if your fleet design is not selected, you may still win an early Wave III starship expansion. Simply submitting your fleet design qualifies you for a random drawing, from which four of you will win the Wave III flotilla that matches your fleet design—the Empire’s Imperial Assault Carriers Expansion Pack or the Rebel Alliance’s Rebel Transports Expansion Pack.
Grand Prize: At the end of the tournament, the player whose fleet design wins the tournament will win that fleet! We will ship one copy of the Core Set, plus each expansion pack needed to build that fleet.
Runners-Up: The other three players whose fleets were selected will win the Wave III and Wave IV expansion packs that match his or her chosen side (Galactic Empire or Rebel Alliance).
Random Drawing: Finally, four randomly chosen participants whose fleets were not selected by our developers will each win the Wave III expansion pack that matches the side of his or her fleet (Galactic Empire or Rebel Alliance).
What contribution will you make to the Galactic Civil War? Watch for your chance to head to our Armada Fleet Commander Contest entry form and submit your fleet design. All submissions are due by Tuesday, July 5th at 10 AM CST.
Don’t miss your chance to submit your favoite fleet to Fantasy Flight Games for your chance to win!
