The Hangar: Delta-7 Aethersprite

Welcome to The Hangar, pilot! In this series we talk about starfighters, freighters, shuttles, racers, bombers, gunships, and everything else in between. This is the chance to look "under the hood," as it were, and explore what makes our favorite ships great. This week's subject in The Hangar and our

Admiral Yularen

Admiral Wulff Yularen was an Admiral for both the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire. While serving for the Republic he served under Jedi General Anakin Skywalker. He served in many great battles alongside Anakin, other Jedi, and their clone troopers. Ironically he was killed while onboard the first Death

The Briefing Room: C-3PO

Welcome to the Dice and Cardboard Briefing Room, pilot! In this series I'll write about a pilot or upgrade that I've been experimenting with or enjoying. This week's subject is...who's that? It's -3PO! I prefer to focus these articles on pilots and upgrades that aren't well-known meta-monsters or even

BTL-B Y-Wing Squadron

The BTL-B Y-Wing(Y-wing, Ywing, Y) served as the main bomber for the Republic during the clone wars. It was flown by many great clone pilots such as Oddball, Goji, Broadside, and even some Jedi like Anakin and Ahsoka. It was adopted by the empire for a short time after

Arc-170 Squadron

The ARC-170 Starfighter (ARC) is one of the coolest fighters in Star Wars lore. The ARC was a multi-purpose fighter for the Republic. It could be used in dogfights, reconnaissance and could even be used as light cargo transport if necessary. The design of these ships is just fantastic. Here's

V-19 Torrent Squadron

The V-19 Torrent Starfighter (Torrent) was the exceptionally maneuverable predecessor to the Alpha-3 Nimbus Class V-Wing and one of the most used Republic fighters during the Clone Wars. It was mainly flown by clone pilots alongside Jedi starfighters. In-game, it the choice escort for the republic faction and a fantastic

Delta-7 Aethersprite Squadron

The Delta-7 Aethersprite (Delta) is one of the sleekest-looking starfighters in the Star Wars universe. I have very fond memories of building the Anakin's Delta-7 lego set when I was a kid, and I continue to have nice experiences using it to destroy some vulture droids in Armada. The Delta

Republic Exclusives

These are the non-officer or commander upgrades that are exclusive to the Republic faction. Clone Gunners Clone Gunners is a very interesting card. It takes a bit to set up, but I think it will prove to be a popular choice. Clone Gunners really shines in fleets with lots of

Venator

The Venator (Ven) is one of, if not the coolest capital ships in the entire star wars franchise. It was my favorite as a kid and probably is still my favorite as an adult. Seeing these over Coruscant at the beginning of Revenge of the Sith might be the entire

Armada

Consular

The C-70 Consular class cruiser was a predecessor to the CR-90 Corvette. They look and function similarly both in canon and in the game. This little ship has been instrumental in the hands of many people since its wave 9 release, and it will continue to be for the rest

Armada

Acclamator

The Acclamator or Clam was a staple in the republic fleet and likely will be a staple for most Republic fleets on the table. I think that it has proven itself repeatedly in my and others' hands with its consistency and price. Alright, let's get down to brass tacks: The

Republic Pelta

While being pretty similar to the rebel one, the Republic Pelta is a unique and fun ship. I have enjoyed running it since its release in many different roles, so let's talk about what is good and what is not so good. Here I'm going to take a bit from

Venator First Impressions

The Venator is why I fell in love with large-scale space battles as a kid, so I will try my best to be as objective as possible here. The Venator has been extremely fun to build and play thus far. It is the first non-huge ship in the game to

Pelta First Impressions

Let's start by saying I am not a huge fan of the rebel Pelta. It lacks speed, maneuverability, reliable firepower, and durability. I know many people love it for cheap fleet commands(IF!) and as an FCT squad pusher. Honestly, I don't think it's a bad ship. It just doesn't
