X-Wing 2nd Edition Miniatures Galactic Empire Conversion Kit
At the height of its power, the Imperial Navy deployed a wide range of ships and exceptional pilots in its effort to bring order to the galaxy and crush the Rebellion. From the legendary Soontir Fel in his TIE interceptor to the feared TIE defender pilots of Onyx Squadron, each pilot and ship had unique skills and capabilities to offer in service of the Emperor. The Galactic Empire Conversion Kit allows you to tap into the vast reserves of the Empire at the very beginning of X-Wing Second Edition.
This kit contains all the components you need to upgrade your Imperial ship collection from the first edition to the second edition, including ship cards, upgrade cards, ship tokens, and maneuver dials. With the conversion kit, veteran and new players alike will be able to choose from a variety of Imperial pilots for each ship, then outfit those ships by selecting from more than one-hundred upgrade cards. All ships and upgrade cards contained in the Galactic Empire Conversion Kit will be supported by the X-Wing Second Edition squad-builder app at launch, giving you a deep pool of options for customizing each ship and squadron.
With these expansion packs, you can bring your entire collection of first edition Galactic Empire ships into the game’s second edition. Then, you can round out your Imperial squadrons and enhance the look of your maneuver dials with the other Galactic Empire expansion packs. You may add even more TIE fighters, identical to those found in the X-Wing Second Edition Core Set to your squadron, overwhelming your opponent with a deadly swarm. Or, you could show your enemies the true power of the dark side and bring Darth Vader himself into the battle. No matter what you choose, all will know the might of the Empire.

Although most of the Galactic Empire’s ships from the first edition are represented in the conversion kit, those emblazoned with the emblem of the First Order are not. Pilots like Kylo Ren and his TIE silencer carry on the legacy of the Empire in a new era, struggling to retake control of the galaxy from the New Republic and the Resistance. Therefore, the First Order is being developed into a separate faction for X-Wing Second Edition and will receive its own conversion kit as a future expansion.

As you can read in our announcement of X-Wing Second Edition, the Galactic Empire Conversion Kit adapts your first edition ships and pilots to the changes introduced in X-Wing Second Edition, including Force powers, multiple-use ordnance, changes to turrets, and other “quality of life” improvements. Additionally, in the game’s second edition, the Empire’s TIE/ca Punisher has been reclassified as a medium-base ship—a new size of ship base filling the space between small-base and large-base ships. In addition to a wealth of punchboard and cards, the Galactic Empire Conversion Kit provides all the bases, pegs, and tokens you need to add this ship to your squadron.
