The Tantive IV has the distinction of being the very first spaceship ever seen in the Star Wars universe, appearing at the very beginning of “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.” The Tantive IV expansion for X-Wing, sold separately from the Rebel Transport, uses the same new movement/energy rules and movement template, though it does come with quite a few more options. Unlike most ships in the game, the Rebel Transport only comes with one ship card, displaying its shield points and hull strength. The Rebel Transport must be surrounded by a bodyguard of Rebel starfighters, as it has no offensive weapons of its own. The Rebel Transport also comes with one X-Wing starfighter escort with an orange paint scheme and several new pilot cards.
The slower the ship moves means the more energy it can generate for other things.Īfter movement, players can allocate their energy to different tasks and then take actions. Here however, after each movement, the ships generates energy. Each turn the Rebel player will select the ship's movement on its movement dial, just like they would with the smaller fighters. One new key mechanic that it brings to the table is energy. Though in the past, X-Wing has introduced large ships like the Millennium Falcon, Slave I and the Imperial Shuttle, these new ships dwarf anything that has come before.įirst seen fleeing the planet Hoth in the 1980 film, “Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back,” the Rebel Transport expansion uses new rules and a new template for movement. The game is a collectable miniature game in which two players take on the role of the evil Empire or the heroic Rebel Alliance as they pilot X-Wing starfighters and TIE Fighters in deadly dogfights on the tabletop.
Fantasy Flight Games expands its Star Wars: X-Wing Miniature line in a big way with two new huge ship expansions, the Rebel Transport and the Tantive IV.įirst released in 2012, Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures has been a huge success, and it has seen no shortage of starfighter expansions.
