Star Wars: Armada – Nadiri Starhawk Expansion Pack
Turn the tide of the Galactic Civil War with the Star Wars: Armada – Nadiri Starhawk Expansion Pack. Built from the remnants of captured and defeated Imperial Star Destroyers, the Starhawk-class Battleship represents the Rebel Alliance's transformation from a desperate insurgency into the military power that would become the New Republic.
The Starhawk is the largest and most powerful ship available to Rebel commanders, capable of standing toe-to-toe with the Empire's formidable Star Destroyers. Heavy armament, exceptional durability, the powerful Salvo defense mechanic, and experimental technology make it an imposing centerpiece for a Rebel fleet.
This expansion provides a detailed Starhawk miniature, two ship configurations, new commanders and officers, powerful upgrades, unique ship titles, and the experimental Magnite Crystal Tractor Beam Array Superweapon.

Expands Rebel fleet-building possibilities
Rise of the New Republic
With the Battle of Endor won, the Rebel Alliance suddenly finds itself in an unfamiliar position.
Instead of constantly retreating from superior Imperial forces, the Rebels can finally take the offensive.
The Starhawk-class Battleship represents that change better than almost any other vessel.
Constructed using components salvaged from Imperial Star Destroyers, the Starhawk became the first capital ship built by the fledgling New Republic and a powerful symbol of its growing military strength.
Starhawk Mark I & Mark II
The expansion provides two different configurations for adding the Starhawk to your fleet:
Both versions use the same Upgrade Bar but feature different attack batteries across their hull zones.
This allows commanders to choose the balance of range, firepower, and accuracy that best complements their fleet.
Salvo Defense Token
The Starhawk helps introduce the Salvo Defense Token, allowing a ship to respond directly when attacked.
Rather than simply reducing incoming damage, Salvo can allow the defending vessel to launch a retaliatory attack after resolving the enemy's strike.
Against another ship, the defender uses its printed rear battery armament against the attacking hull zone.
Against a squadron, it uses its printed anti-squadron armament.
For a heavily armed ship like the Starhawk, attacking it can therefore have immediate consequences.
Kyrsta Agate
The expansion features Kyrsta Agate in multiple roles.
Commander
As a fleet Commander, Agate provides additional flexibility when using defense tokens, reinforcing the Starhawk's already impressive staying power.
Officer
Agate can alternatively serve as an Officer aboard a ship, providing a different defensive benefit at a lower fleet-building cost.
This allows Rebel commanders to incorporate her into different fleet strategies.
Wedge Antilles
Legendary Rebel pilot Wedge Antilles takes on a new role as an Officer aboard your capital ships.
Rather than personally flying into battle, Wedge can mentor non-unique squadrons and help them operate more effectively.
This makes him particularly useful for fleets combining the Starhawk with a substantial fighter screen.
Shriv Suurgav
Shriv Suurgav provides another way to disrupt Imperial plans.
At close range, his Weapons Team can interfere with an enemy vessel's upgrades, potentially forcing the opposing commander to rethink their strategy in the middle of battle.
Magnite Crystal Tractor Beam Array
The Starhawk is one of the first Armada vessels capable of equipping a Superweapon.
Unlike the destructive particle cannons associated with the Imperial Onager, the Starhawk's experimental weapon manipulates enemy movement.
The Magnite Crystal Tractor Beam Array can alter an opposing ship's speed, helping the Starhawk control where and how an enemy vessel moves.
Use it to:
-
Disrupt enemy maneuvering
-
Control engagement ranges
-
Interfere with escape attempts
-
Set up favorable attacks
-
Manipulate enemy positioning
This gives the Starhawk a battlefield-control capability unlike conventional Rebel weapons.
Starhawk Titles
Several famous Starhawks can be represented using unique title upgrades.
Concord
The Concord reinforces the ship's defensive capabilities and provides additional Salvo potential, making an already durable vessel even more difficult to eliminate.
Amity
The Amity takes a more aggressive approach, helping the Starhawk close with enemy vessels before trading some of its own durability for crucial damage.
Unity
The Unity works closely with friendly squadrons, helping a fleet deal with opposing starfighters before they can threaten your capital ships.
These titles allow the same Starhawk miniature to perform very different roles depending on your fleet strategy.
Why Add the Nadiri Starhawk?
The Rebel Alliance's Heavyweight
The Starhawk provides Rebel commanders with a true heavyweight capable of confronting major Imperial warships directly.
Multiple Configurations
Choose between the Mark I and Mark II versions and further specialize your vessel through upgrades and titles.
Powerful New Characters
Kyrsta Agate, Wedge Antilles, Shriv Suurgav, and other personnel provide additional options for your wider Rebel fleet.
Experimental Superweapon
The Magnite Crystal Tractor Beam Array gives commanders an unusual way to manipulate enemy movement rather than simply adding more firepower.
New Republic Theme
For players building a fleet around the aftermath of Endor and the rise of the New Republic, few vessels are more appropriate than the Starhawk.
