It's hard to imagine Thrawn as a crew on anything other than the Chimera, but there are a lot of characters we could still see from at least the Thrawn Triology as crew such as Ghent, Karrde, Thrawn, Paelleon, or Rukh.

I would think that Ghent and Karrde are most likely to pop in Scum and Villainy.... maybe in an Action IV transport huge ship for them.

Or Luuke Skywalker. Get an imperial luke.

We'll probably have to wait for a Huge ship to get Tarkin and Thrawn.

Tarkin is in Armada, wouldn't be surprised to see Thrawn in there down the road.

I don't think a Thrawn card would be fair...

What would it be?

Thrawn: You can view any and all dials before the end of planning phase. You may also reset any friendly movement dial(s) before end of planning phase. Opponent cannot use barrel roll, boost, or maneuver changing abilities while Thrawn is in play.

We better.

Oh look, it's Ribann.

Oh look, it's Ribann.

whatever, Thrawn is always a fun topic.

I'm certain we'll see Thrawn in Armada, maybe with an Interdictor or a Star Destroyer. Interdictors are very much his style, and since there are plenty of ISD captains already he might not come with the default ISD pack. He should still be an ISD captain/admiral though.

Thrawn's ability would have to be something really unique and strategically useful... but I wouldn't feel like I'm playing as Thrawn if I got to see everyone's dials or plans for free and react to them. Thrawn was able to predict maneuvers with deductions, just like you should be able to in X-wing if you are a skilled player.

If we do see a Thrawn card I'm quite sure it will be artistically done...

Oh look, it's Ribann.

You may not like the guy but that's no reason to start being a ****. I don't agree with a lot of what he's said in the past, but posts like this are rude and unnecessary. Contribute to the conversation if you're going to post.

OT: The Thrawn topic has been thrown around a few times, but I don't think we'll see him until Imps get a huge ship (whenever that will be)

I doubt we'll see him in X-wing even with the huge ships, the Corvette didn't come with Ackbar either.

No, I think that much like the ships they commanded, they're a bit too grand scale to fit into a game like X-wing. These were the guys that commanded entire fleets in the biggest battles from some of the greatest capital ships their side had to offer. And much like those ships, they'll be more likely to appear in Armada than they are in X-wing.

Unless they make "commander" upgrade card. Put a face on the mysterious comander controlling these squadrons.

Grand Admiral Thrawn

Crew

7 points

At the start of the activation phase, you may discard this card to choose one enemy ship at range 3.

You may look at that ship's maneuver dial and rotate it to a different maneuver.

Like the Emperor card, I want to see more unique impreial crew, and give us more versatility, greettings

"Grand Admiral Thrawn"

Crew, Unique, Imperial Only, Huge Ship Only, 10pts

"Once per round, when you are declared as the target of an attack, allied ships in Range 1-2 of the attacker may perform a free action."

This seems like something they could reasonably do, yeah!

Opens up places for people like Ackbar, Palpatine, Thrawn, and many others.

Discard Thrawn for one ability? You sure?

Makes as much sense as discarding Leia for one ability.

Depending on how good his ability is, a discard would be pretty thematic for stabbed-by-Noghri-mid-battle, at least.

Commander card sounds amazing! A card that grants an ability that covers the whole game and applies to the whole squad. A 10 point card that allows a k-turn to be white for all units? 10 points allows all units to perform a barrel roll but if they do not have the icon, they take a stress.

I want Admiral Ozzel!

Admiral Ozzel

(Huge Ship Only) (Imperial Only)

After you fail to hit with an attack you may discard this card to immediately perform the same attack again for free.

[crew] [2]

I can imagine all the movie quotes that will be made every time a player uses that card.

I want Admiral Ozzel!

Admiral Ackbar

Thrawn should be something like

7pts Crew member

Imperial Huge Ship Only

Treat all enemy ships within range 2 to 3 of this ship as if their pilot skill was 2 lower.

This would mean that your ships can react better to enemy ship movement and you'll get shots off first in the combat phase. Its balanced in that you can rush in to range 1 where its such a brawling melee that even Thrawn can't predict what you'll do next and only on Imperial Huge ships (should we ever get them. We shouldn't be trying to get Admiral crew members on anything smaller tbh)

Thrawn

Huge Ship only. Imperial Only

Action:Select one ship at range 1-5. All friendly at range one of the selected ship may preform a free action.

Pellion

Huge Ship only, Imperial only.

When you preform an action each Section of this ship may one free additional action.

Oh look, it's Ribann.

He's the one who's rude.

Grand Admiral Thrawn's ability would start off with

"Study the artwork on your opponent's ship cards and upgrades...."
