We know how much FFG likes using the same artwork on cards, so if thats the case then it suggests that the "captain" card we can partially see in the ISD expansion for Armada is prpbably not then Captain Needa. - Still either Needa or Ozzel could be the face down (commander?) card that hasnt been spoiled yet.

I figured it would be Piett, though I suppose he has more screen time as Admiral Piett...

Ah yes, it can be a great career boost or your end if you are close by when Vader gets angry.

The Capt. Needa card looks a lot like the card hidden by Darth Vader in the ISD expansion pack picture. At least to me. Perhaps Im wrong.

The commander that comes with the ISD is Vader. The other cards could be officers of one type or another.

The one hidden by Vader on the ISD expansion pack looks like the inside of a hanger, which is completely different picture to Captain Needa above, so unless FFG is going with a different picture I don't think its him.

There is still a facedown card still to be revealed, usually FFG reserves that for commanders. I am betting the huge ships come with 2 commanders each :)

Interesting stuff, thank you MaverickNZ!

This is still a mystery for sure as the below image of the debated 'Captain' card in the 'Here They Come' reveal shows:

...has a red, black, grey and white background. Of which the Captain Needa X-Wing card does not have.

Maybe it's Captain Piet?

Rofl! Anyone else note that for Admiral Ozzel's card has Vader ostracising him again?

Is that JUST before he gets force choked??? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Poor Ozzel.

Edit: Double-quoted MaverickNZ for some reason...also added in the hyperlink for the 'Here They Come' any newcommers exploring this thread. :)

I don't think we will see two Commander in a set but time will tell I guess.

The Captain officer card is probably Piett. I'll look at my LCG cards to see if the artwork is familiar.
