Star Wars: Armada Core Set

Command massive capital ships and fighter squadrons in Star Wars: Armada, a two-player miniatures game of tactical fleet battles set in the Star Wars universe. Take control of the overwhelming might of the Galactic Empire or lead the determined forces of the Rebel Alliance in cinematic battles where careful planning can determine the fate of the galaxy.

Armada captures the enormous scale of Star Wars space warfare while using accessible movement and combat systems designed specifically for capital ships. Assemble your fleet, choose your objectives, issue commands, plot your course, coordinate your squadrons, and bring your weapons to bear against the enemy.

The Star Wars: Armada Core Set provides the essential ships, squadrons, rules, tools, cards, and tokens needed to begin fighting Rebel vs Imperial fleet battles.

Command a Star Wars Fleet

Armada places you in command of an entire fleet rather than a single starfighter.

Every battle requires you to consider:

• Fleet composition

• Objectives

• Deployment

• Capital ship positioning

• Firing arcs

• Squadron coordination

• Defensive resources

• Movement

• Command timing

• Future turns

The result is a game where strategic planning before the shooting starts can be just as important as the decisions made once fleets enter combat.

Plan Your Commands

One of Armada's defining mechanics is its Command system.

Rather than simply choosing every action when a ship activates, commanders must plan important orders ahead of time.

Commands can be stacked for future turns, forcing you to anticipate what your fleet will need as the battle develops.

Your original plan may be perfect—or enemy movements may force you to adapt when the commands you've already issued no longer match the situation.

Capital Ship Movement

Moving enormous Star Wars warships requires something different from the movement systems used for smaller fighters.

Armada uses a unique articulated Maneuver Tool to quickly plot the course of each capital ship.

Different vessels handle differently, giving maneuverability an important role in fleet construction and tactical planning.

Position your ships carefully to:

• Bring powerful weapons into arc

• Protect vulnerable hull zones

• Avoid collisions

• Control engagement ranges

• Set up future attacks

• Escape dangerous enemy positions

Capital Ships & Fighter Squadrons

The Core Set combines large warships with smaller fighter formations.

It includes 3 pre-painted capital ship miniatures representing the opposing Rebel and Imperial fleets, along with 10 unpainted fighter squadrons.

Fighter squadrons aren't simply decorative additions. They can engage opposing fighters, protect friendly vessels, and attack capital ships themselves.

Successfully coordinating both elements of your fleet is an important part of mastering Armada.

Rebel Alliance vs Galactic Empire

The Core Set provides forces for both major factions of the Galactic Civil War.

Rebel Alliance

Command Rebel vessels and fighter squadrons as you use mobility, positioning, and coordinated attacks to overcome the Empire's military power.

Galactic Empire

Bring Imperial firepower to bear and use imposing capital ships and fighter support to crush Rebel resistance.

The two sides provide different fleet-building possibilities as you expand beyond the Core Set.

Expand Your Collection

Once you've learned the game, the Core Set provides the foundation for a much larger Armada collection.

Additional products can add:

• Capital ships

• Corvettes and frigates

• Star Destroyers

• Fighter squadrons

• Famous commanders

• Officers

• Weapons

• Ship titles

• Upgrade Cards

• Campaign expansions

This allows you to gradually build larger and more specialized fleets around your preferred strategies.
