Mission 4: Den of Thieves

Sienar engineers are essential to the Empire's galactic control, due to their critical role within the Imperial Navy. Their relentless efforts have produced the newest starship prototype, which is currently being transported to meet up with the Imperial Fleet. Alliance Intelligence only recently found out about it and has offered a significant bounty for the prototype's seizure. Smugglers sympathetic to the Rebel cause are ready to attack the exposed shipment, and the small Imperial protection force is tasked with safely delivering its valuable load.

Rebel: 100 Squad Points

Imperial: 100 Squad Points

The Imperial side sets up their ships within Range 1-3 of the Imperial side of the playing area, ensuring they are beyond Range 1 of the neutral edges. The Imperial player then designates two ships, giving each an escort token (attach the tokens to the base tower of each ship).

Next, the Imperial side puts down three container tokens within Range 1-3 of their edge of the play area. Container tokens must not be placed within Range 1 of the neutral edges, and each must be at least Range 3 away from the others. The container tokens should be positioned to point directly towards the Rebel side of the play area.

Following this, the Rebel player positions their ships within Range 1 of the Rebel edge or the neutral edges of the play area, but not within Range 1-2 of any container token. Finally, the Rebel player assigns the smuggler token to one of their ships, attaching it to the ship's base tower.

The Rebels win if they manage to acquire two containers. The Empire succeeds if two containers escape off the Rebel side of the playing area. The Imperials can still win even if all their ships are destroyed.
