Last paragraph of the B/SF-17 announcement:

"These are accompanied by a new condition card, a rulesheet, a maneuver dial, and all the plastic and tokens that you need to start bombarding the First Order’s ships and emplacements!"

Emplacements? Are we getting ground-based resources like shield generators and turbo lasers?

That would be awesome! But I imagine it's just a bit of fluff thrown in, which is very common in how the preview articles are written.

Most likely to refer to a mission, if it refers to anything other than fluff.

Actually, that's interesting. The wording in the article has changed - when it came out over the weekend it originally said "ships and stations ".

Stranger still.

It was probably a reference to the fact that in TLJ the reistance bombers are attempting to bomb some First Order station (from the Trailer we know the bombers and their X-Wing/A-Wing escorts are in space approaching some sort of enemy. This may have been deemed too close to a spoiler, so they had to change it?

That's probably more likely than the set including a mission where you bomb a cardboard station or emplacement, since we don't see those tokens in the product spread images.

Golan III Space Defense Platform confirmed!

Someone did a copy and paste from some other game article or forgot to change something in the press templet they use for all the articled so they can remain consistent and 'on message'.

or it's a spoiler and someone got fired and eaten by Kathleen Kennedy.
