Personally tasked by Darth Vader to eliminate any surviving Jedi Knights, the Inquisitor had access to the Empire’s most advanced technologies, including the TIE Advanced prototype, a groundbreaking improvement over the TIE fighter designs of its time. In X-Wing™, this lethal starfighter appears as a carefully detailed and pre-painted miniature at 1/270 scale, along with four ship cards, including one for the Inquisitor himself. Additionally, the Inquisitor’s TIE Expansion Pack contains five upgrades, a maneuver dial, and all the tokens you need to launch into space and pursue your foes through the stars!

Spark your own rebellion against the Galactic Empire with the Ghost Expansion Pack for X-Wing™! Fly into battle with the Ghost and Phantom, and recruit the talents of Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, Hera Syndulla, and the other heroes of Star Wars Rebels. The galaxy’s most famous VCX-100 – and likely the hardest to detect – the Ghost enters the game as a massive, pre-painted, large-base Rebel starship that comes with rules for deploying the accompanying attack shuttle miniature into battle. You’ll also find eight ship cards, sixteen upgrades, and all requisite tokens and maneuver dials.
