From the blazingly fast A-wing to the iconic Millennium Falcon, the Rebel Alliance fielded a great number of starships during the interstellar battles of the Galactic Civil War. Between the Rebel Alliance Conversion Kit and the extensive catalog of first edition expansions, these ships are available to join your squadron from day one.
Within this conversion kit, veteran players will find all of the components necessary to upgrade their existing Rebel ship collection from the first edition of X-Wing to the second edition. The conversion kit contains a vast array of new ship cards and tokens, including iconic pilots such as Han Solo, alongside more than one-hundred upgrade cards that give you the power to customize your squad to fit your playstyle. Finally, the conversion kit also includes the second edition maneuver dials for each ship, which makes planning your actions easier than ever before.
In addition to being present in the Rebel Alliance Conversion Kit, all of the Rebel Alliance ships and upgrades found in the conversion kit will be fully implemented in the X-Wing Second Edition squad-builder app at launch, giving you the opportunity to experiment with a full complement of new content. Likewise, first-time players can use the conversion kit and first edition expansions to get a feel for the game with as many different ships as possible!
Although many Rebel ships from first edition are making their way into X-Wing Second Edition via the Rebel Alliance Conversion Kit, pilots and ships representing the Resistance, such as Poe Dameron and his T-70 X-wing, will not be present. These brave heroes carry on the spark of the Rebellion as a new generation of freedom fighters and, as such, the Resistance is being developed into a completely separate faction in X-Wing Second Edition. You can look for the Resistance to join X-Wing Second Edition with its own conversion kit during the first round of expansions.
The game's new edition introduces several new elements to the game, including Force powers, multiple-use ordnance, changes to turrets, and several “quality of life” improvements for often-used mechanics. The contents of the Rebel Alliance Conversion Kit reflect these changes, which include the reclassification of several Rebel Alliance ships. In the game's second edition, the BTL-S8 K-wing and ARC-170 have been converted to medium-base ships—a new size of ship base between small and large bases. The Rebel Alliance Conversion Kit also contains all the bases and pegs that you'll need to bring the first edition versions of these ships into the second edition.
