Long Ago, in a Galaxy. . .

Fantasy Flight Games is expanding the Star Wars: Armada universe with its introduction of the Galactic Republic Starter Set, introducing an entirely new faction to the game.  This expansion was designed by James Kniffen with artwork supplied by Ben Zweifel.  It plays 2 players in about 2 hours.

The fleet design guarantees a cooperative nature with this set.  There are two commanders from whom the players may choose to lead their fleet: the iconic Obi Wan Kenobi or Senator Bail Organa.  The ship set includes Acclimator-I and Acclimator-II ships which can fully be kitted out to prepare for battle.

According to Fantasy Flight, the Clone Wars are coming to Star Wars: Armada on December 4th.  The game can be pre-ordered through your FLGS or through the Fantasy Flight webstore here.  If you would like further information, check out the Fantasy Flight website here.
