What's a GS155 bomber?

By Kingsguard, in X-Wing

The X-Wing minis wiki says that ship is in wave 12 but I've never heard of it and can't find it on wookieepedia.

Either bull or the resistance bomber

I don't think it's a mistake and I don't think it's the resistance bomber. After seeing the Kimo I am wondering if it's from the comics that are around so far.

Is it possibly another name for the Star Wing? I know it's customizable and often called Gunboat or Missile Boat. "GS" could stand for Gunship.

I can't debunk that, and to be honest, that's good thinking. But as far as I know, the full name would be the Cygnus Spaceworks Alpha Class StarWing. Given Cygnus' propensities for greek letters, I don't know if they would even use a similar abbreviation system as Sienar's TiE-series.

The XG-1 Assault Gunboat or Alpha-Class Star wing was never referred to as a GS155 in any of the legends materials I had of which I had many.

Force Friday reveal would be my guess.

I googled it, but nothing came up that directly corespondent with the name. So it's probably something new, which leads to the Resistance Bomber, as we don't have a real name for it yet. If it is anything.

This is GS series, not a bomber but...

note: I don't think this is in Wave XII, was just saying this was a GS series.

The wiki can easily hold misinformation... It's probably nothing.

Both threads are still up. That is very strong evidence that this is nothing.

Has FFG ever taken a thread down before?

Oh yes. When they need it their hand is pretty heavy.

I think they took down some Destiny spoilers once.

I may be imagining things, but I think threads about the TFA core set were taken down if they were started before the official launch/reveal.

I would assume they would only take down a thread that actually spoiled something. At this point all we know is that we don't know anything.

Scum ship in TLJ spoiled?

my guess is someone is putting their speculation for the Resistance Bomber from TLJ on the wiki. with three SKU's skipped, and three new ships added in TLJ (resistance A-wing, the TIE Silencer, and the Resistance Bomber), someone probably assumed we'd get all three, and jumped the gun by adding it to the wave 12 list on the wiki.

That could fit.

Except that GS155 it's a name you can't find elsewhere. So, either bull or some massive spoiler.

Yup. It can't really be just speculation unless they were just guessing a random model number.

You don't remember the Great Thread Purge as all the TFA Core Set leaks were spilling forth two Christmases ago?

That event is the only reason why I found the Reddit board and bookmarked it in my phone.

That's a really strange place to spoil things. Someone's just trolling.
