Choose the overwhelming military power of the Galactic Empire or command the faster, more flexible forces of the Rebel Alliance. Star Destroyers trade devastating volleys with Rebel frigates and corvettes while X-wings and TIE fighters clash between the larger vessels.
The Core Set includes everything needed to begin playing, with 3 pre-painted capital ships, 10 fighter squadrons, rules, movement and range tools, dice, command dials, and more than 130 cards and tokens.

Command Epic Star Wars Fleet Battles
Star Wars: Armada puts you in the admiral's chair.
Rather than controlling a single fighter or small group of ships, you'll coordinate an entire fleet and make tactical decisions that can influence the battle several turns later.
Commanders must:
-
Assemble their fleets
-
Select objectives
-
Deploy capital ships
-
Coordinate fighter squadrons
-
Issue commands
-
Plot movement
-
Choose firing targets
-
Manage shields and defenses
-
Position ships for future attacks
Success requires planning ahead and anticipating where both your ships and your opponent's vessels will be when the weapons start firing.
Galactic Empire
Command the imposing forces of the Galactic Empire with the included Victory-class Star Destroyer.
The Star Destroyer provides the Imperial fleet with a heavily armed centerpiece capable of bringing substantial firepower to bear against Rebel vessels.
Supporting it are squadrons of TIE fighters, ready to intercept Rebel starfighters and protect the Imperial capital ship.
Rebel Alliance
The Rebel Alliance approaches fleet warfare differently.
Instead of matching the Empire's largest warships directly, Rebel commanders can rely on mobility and coordination to exploit weaknesses in Imperial formations.
The Core Set provides:
-
Nebulon-B Frigate
-
CR90 Corellian Corvette
-
X-wing Squadrons
Together, these provide the foundation for a flexible Rebel fleet.
Capital Ship Combat
Capital ships use detailed bases and an articulated Maneuver Tool to represent the movement of enormous spacecraft.
Positioning is critical because ships feature different:
-
Hull zones
-
Firing arcs
-
Shield values
-
Weapon batteries
-
Defensive capabilities
-
Maneuver characteristics
Getting your strongest weapons pointed toward a vulnerable enemy hull zone while protecting your own weaknesses is a central part of Armada's tactical gameplay.
Fighter Squadrons
Although dwarfed by the capital ships around them, fighter squadrons can have a major impact on the battle.
The Core Set includes 10 unpainted squadrons representing X-wings and TIE fighters.
Use your starfighters to:
-
Engage enemy squadrons
-
Protect capital ships
-
Attack enemy vessels
-
Screen important positions
-
Support fleet objectives
-
Tie down opposing fighters
Coordinating your fighters with your larger ships adds another tactical layer to fleet construction and gameplay.
Pre-Painted Capital Ships
The three included capital ships arrive pre-painted, allowing you to get your first fleet battle underway without painting the ships yourself.
The Core Set includes:
-
1 Victory-class Star Destroyer
-
1 Nebulon-B Frigate
-
1 CR90 Corellian Corvette
The 10 fighter squadrons are supplied unpainted and can be customized if desired.
Expand Your Armada Collection
The Core Set provides the foundation for a much larger Star Wars: Armada collection.
Additional expansions can introduce:
-
Star Destroyers
-
Rebel capital ships
-
Corvettes and frigates
-
Fighter squadrons
-
Famous commanders
-
Officers and crew
-
Ship titles
-
Weapons
-
Defensive upgrades
-
Campaign expansions
This allows you to gradually develop the included starter forces into larger and more specialized fleets.
