I'm an advocate for squadron cards. N-1 could be the expansion to introduce them.

Naboo Defenders - (squadron, 3 points) - "At the end of the Combat Phase you may remove 1 focus or evade token from each friendly N-1 Starfighter and place it on this card. At the start of the Activation Phase, each friendly N-1 Starfighter may assign 1 token from this card to its ship. When there are less than 2 friendly N-1 Starfighters in play, discard this card and all tokens on it."

Basically Rey for the whole squadron that includes evades but restricts you to N1's...

I love it!

Looks fun.

If this was just going to be the three pilots from Shattered Empire, it could be it's own box (like the Scum and Villainy) with the squadron rules. It would be an opportunity to add in a Rebel Lambda Shuttle dial and cards with Tydirium title, Chewbacca and Han pilots etc.

3 Attack / 3 Agility / 2 Hull / 3 Shields

You know what's better than a N-1 fighter? A N-1 fighter covered in chrome front to back!

Now Imps need a Phasma card that nicks the chrome, like she did with Palpy's ride...

But jokes aside, this would be a really nice looking repaint waiting to be done.

I've got 8 more of these guys to paint, I'll do one in chrome for sure :)

another couple hundred pages and we should get some of these!

Maybe it would be in the next couple of waves. What's left for the Rebels? Resistance A-Wing and Resistance Transport?

There's definitely more than that, but I'm hoping the draw of a Leia pilot card will move the N-1 up the list.

It would be sweet to have Leia piloting a ship.

Yep. The Falcon. PS 2 or 3, no EpT.

puh-leez, she's a Skywalker. She'll be at least PS6 with an EPT.

No reason for that.
She's a trained diplomat, and knows how to fire a gun correctly. That's quite a good skillset already.

If I remember, there is a comic in the new canon which shows her flying a Naboo starfighter pretty well against a swarm of Tie fighters or old battle droids.

This^ Though Shera Bay did most of the dogfighting.

Yeah but she's flown quite a few times, almost always in comics, but she tends to hold up pretty well.

YT-2000? Z-96? I-Wing (looks like a Y-Wing with a single engine directly behind the cockpit)?

According to the movies and novels, I don't think I ever saw Leia being a fighter pilot. Because, obviously, it would be dumb.

Let's be honest, comic books are mostly (especially those based on movies or games licences) ****.

In Splinter of the Mind's Eye, one of the first novels, Leia pilots a Y-Wing. However, she's never portrayed as an especially good pilot - she uses it more as a transport.

The comics are considered canon by Disney. So it doesn't matter what anyone thinks of them, they're legit.

I think its cool she's piloting fighters, she's not an ace sure, but she is force sensitive and a skywalker, she's going to have some innate pilot skills.

N1 Starfighter... the rebel equivalent of the of the gunboat... at least hopefully for the demand and unending posts about it.

Exactly. Not a fighter pilot.

She could still make it into the game, with a low-ish PS, but higher than rookie pilots.

I don’t mind the idea of Leia in the 3-5 range. In Shattered Empire Leia flies in from the side and shoots 2 TIEs off of Shara’s tail.

Shara started that battle engaging 12 TIEs head on, and she was winning until 2 of them got behind her. PS7+ territory, IMO.

We also need to consider Padme and Ahsoka after their N-1 debut in forces of Destiny.

I think it would be neat to have an expansion with 6 aces paired at the same pilot skills.

Ahsoka and Shara at PS7.

Leia and Rhys Dallows at PS5

Soruna and Padme at PS3.

I can see as part of her schooling learning how to pilot ships. She was the princess of a planet after all, and she does fly that speeder bike through endor pretty well.
