On top of that, they have access to the big guns like ATSTs and Vader, and they have different winning criteria than the rebel side. Even stormtroopers can hit you if there are enough of them. The strike team has the advantage in abilities and movement, but are severely outnumbered. The core game gives you the option of an exiled Jedi, a veteran soldier, a grizzled commander, a plucky smuggler, a bounty hunter, and of course, a Wookie warrior. The other players all choose a hero character, which will make up your strike team.
This could be an outpost of stormtroopers all the way up to Darth Vader himself with some ATSTs as backup.
One player will control all of the Imperial forces. Star Wars: Imperial Assault has one of the coolest thematic elements in one box. It’s up to you and your elite team to strike back and take the fight to the Empire. Imperial outposts and strongholds still control the galaxy. The Death Star has fallen but the Rebellion is far from over.
