Just confirmed on the stream. SSD will be available in stores 2 August, and for early purchase at Gencon.
RitR not expected until late August (based on when the preview articles are scheduled).
Two new ships will be revealed at GenCon during the In Flight Report.
Good luck to those going to the German Grand Championship on 15 August, let us know how many SSDs turn up.

To clarify, the title states the SSD on August 2nd, is that confirmed?
It was announced at the end of the stream.

That's what they said on the stream. In stores on 2 August, or at GenCon.
Wow, I won't even be on vacation when it comes!
Awesome, I just scheduled a tournament for the following weekend!
There are several big tournaments in the weeks after it came out.
IF it really hit the store on 2nd August, it means it would be legal for the German grand Championship and the European Continental Championship. Along with the first US Grand Championship. These three are all on the last 3 weekends of August.

And you know at least one will be at each of those.

The German Grand Championship and European Continental Championship isn't an immediate given. You'd have to check with the Organiser for actual Legality, as the 11-day cooling off period only applies to North American Premier level Events.
If there was going to be a 3+ Week delay for European releases, then I doubt it'd be ranked Legal...
But its a Question Worth Asking .

This question was not even important untill they set the SSD to "on the boat". Combined with the, now given, release date, it is a really interesting timing.
I don't imagine the SSD being legal is that much of a problem, even if it has only just been released. The cards and rules have been public for a while and the obsessive people have been trying it out on Vassal.
RitR seems a bit more important as there's still quite a bit of secret content, which we would want some time to get used to. Maybe that's partly why they're waiting until September to release it.
Wow...it might actually arrive in time for my Armada event mid-August!

For Germany the situation is even more complicated since Tournament Legality in the past was based on the release of the german product (with a 14-day cooling off period as I recall) but for the SSD there not even exits a non-english version. Is there a official SSD release in germany at all? Heidelberger Spieleverlag/now Asmodee Germany did not distribute english products in the past but maybe that or the Legality Clause changed?

Will do
My LGS confirmed one and I have it reserved
So yee-hah now how to crash it into the side of a deathstar on the table.
We got an official answer from Asmodee Germany Organized Play: the SSD will be legal at the German Nationals in 11 days.
So I guess this will be the first major tournament with SSDs?
