With the new expansion coming for the Resistance, could we see one for the First order coming? Maybe on May 5th, which some of you may know that May 5th is Revenge of the 5th! A possible excuse to release a big expansion for the bad guys? Hopefully?

Sorry if someone else has mentioned this before...
I think the TIE/SF is definitely coming (I could even see them releasing an Aces-style two-pack), but I don't think it'll be announced May 5th.
Actually after the news today I kind of expect this....
Kylo Ren's shuttle and a TIE S/F or Two TIE S/F. Although the Heroes of the resistance pack does allot more for us and FFG than what it seems.
A) The resistance(and first order) is here to stay. They meant sub-faction well and good, no more need (although still completely can) mix rebels and resistance.
B) future expansions won't tie together. Meaning FFG is free to make stuff like imperial Veterans while at the same time also keeping Disney happy by releasing ships that fit within the current story arc.
Champions of the First Order
Upsilon Shuttle
TIE/sf
Wave 9
Wookiee AntiSlaver
Shadow Caster
Resistance Transport
TIE/sf
Epic
Jabba's Yacht w/Scyk
Scum Aces
HWK-290
StarViper
There, I called it. 
Again, as a stop gap between films so we can avoid unique pilots without names, I can see it! Since the rebels are a ship up and lots of crew up I can dig it.
Scum Huge with both Kfighter and Scyk fix to fill in for them? 2 scum huges and the second with a starviper escort?

Well now that the movie is released and a lot of side-canon(?) material is out. I think FFG will find plenty of names besides Ace and Leader for all the ships.
As for the 1stOrder? I am sure we will hear something about them soon enough.

You forgot one...
(there must also be traitor pilots, not just stormtroopers.)

An amusing thought! I was certainly expecting, with ever-increasing disappointment, a second announcement today.
Still, while it may seem sensible on the surface - 'May the 4th be with you' for an announcement with Jedi, 'Revenge of the 5th' for a Sith one...
...well, there are no Sith in the new movies. The "Knights of Ren" are Dark Side acolytes, certainly, but not Sith.
The threat operates under the false assumption that there are villains in the First Order. The villains are all found in the terrorist organisation "The Resistance".
Announcing a First-Order pack on "Revenge of the 5th" day would be a masterstroke from FFG, but I don't think it will happen. As has been mentioned before, these ships are completely new (Upsilon and TIE/sf) and very likely to have their own individual packs as part of a wave. As I tend to think wave 9 is all about Rogue One, this means wave 10.
