"I was a little girl when the Clone War came to Ryloth. My mother hid us below-ground, but I'd peek out when the Republic ships flew over, as they fought to liberate my world. I dreamt of nothing more than to be up there with them."

–Hera Syndulla, Star Wars: Rebels

As a little girl, Hera Syndulla dreamt of piloting a ship and fighting to liberate her world. As a grown woman, Hera Syndulla realized her dreams, becoming not only one of the greatest pilots in the fledgling Rebel Alliance, but one of its greatest leaders as well.

Similarly, fans of Star Wars™: Armada tend to be dreamers—dreaming of epic fleet battles among the stars. We take our inspiration from the massive size and firepower of our largest ships and from the speed and mobility of the smaller ones. We fly to battle with dreams of executing just the right series of plans to trap and defeat our foes. And if we plot the right commands during the Organized Play events we attend, we find our successes rewarded by custom prizes.

With the second season of Star Wars: Armada in-store play just around the corner, we are happy to reveal the 2018 Star Wars: Armada Season Two prizes!

From Ensign to Admiral

More than it's about prizes, Star Wars: Armada Organized Play is about bringing players together. It's about helping you find more places to play, introducing you to more players, and getting you more chances to play the game you love. In short, it's about the love of the game.

Accordingly, each 2018 Star Wars: Armada Season Two Kit comes with prizes for everyone—from Ensign to Admiral. Each kit contains two Elite Prize Cards and two Elite Prize Items to award to the Top 4 players at the Fleet Patrol Tournament it supports. However, the 2018 Star Wars: Armada Season Two Kit also includes participation prizes for all sixteen of the players it supports.

Participation

The 2018 Star Wars: Armada Season Two Kit contains seventeen copies of an alternate art version of the External Racks upgrade.

Sixteen of these alternate art cards are to be distributed as participation prizes while the seventeeth is intended for the event organizer to keep or distribute at his or her discretion.

Elite Prize Card

Make the Top 4 at a Fleet Patrol Event, and you'll put yourself in the running for one of the Elite Prizes—either one of the Elite Prize Cards or one of the Elite Prize Items. That means you might have a chance to walk away from your games with an alternate art copy of Hera Syndulla.

To a Rebel Admiral, Hera Syndulla's presence means that you can redouble your focus on your capital ships—while trusting Hera and the Ghost to help coordinate your squadrons.

To an Imperial Admiral, capturing this alternate art version of Hera Syndulla means dealing a major blow to the young Rebellion and will assuredly earn you a well-deserved promotion!

There are three copies of this alternate art squadron card in the 2018 Star Wars: Armada Season Two Kit. The third is intended for the event organizer.

Elite Prize Item

Star Wars: Armada is all about capital ships. Squadrons play a significant role, but you don't lose if your squadrons are destroyed. You do lose, however, if all your ships are destroyed, and knowing when to assign an engineering command to your ship may prove the difference between victory and defeat.

You'll have plenty of opportunities to prove you understand the best time for your engineering commands as you fight your way into the Top 4 players at your local Fleet Patrol Event, and doing so may allow you to claim a set of five custom engineering tokens, painted red on frosted white acrylic.

You Need to Plan Ahead

Star Wars: Armada is a game of massive ships that requires you to assign your commands well before the first exchanges of fire. Fail to unite your ships behind a comprehensive strategy or anticipate your opponent's tactics and you may see your fleet destroyed in a barrage of missiles, lasers, and proton torpedoes. But if you can plan everything just right? You'll relish the thrills of epic combat, strike a decisive blow in the Galactic Civil War, and walk away with some of the coolest Armada prizes you can find anywhere!
